Title: Oh, heavens. I'm all new and stuff.
Post by: rabid_fox on May 02, 2007, 03:39:20 PM

Quick introduction then? I'm Díarmuid, all Irish and shizzle and I look a lot like the guy in the avatar, but usually with less pointing.

Fan of the comic since happening across it (I recall the first strip I saw: the one with the grey-fox-looking-doctor-cubi with the giant needle).

Any initiation rites to go through?

Oh, crumbs. Surely the avatar should put off the rape? I mean, look at that hair! That ain't the hair of a rape victim, that's the hair of an 80's throwback...and nobody wants to rape that.

...at least no tennis ball gags, k?

Well, you're certainly a friendlier rapist than that last forum I joined. In a...middle-management sort of way.

Greetings. I am 7 Itos Atio. :)

There are more things to warn about that the rapists but since you've already been warned about those warnings I might as well not warn you. Just remember that the emergency exit is located in the upper right corner and is marked with an "x".

Oh, I don't trust any doors that look like that. They tend to be revolving and on loose wheels, so that they attempt to cut your foot off at the ankle unless you leap through them with the grace of a gazelle. The good gazelles, not the losers you see on Discovery during "Big Cat Week".

Make sure to read the rules, don't get into too much trouble, and go read CVRPG. It's a much better comic than DMFA.

Vunderbubble. I tend to add webcomics when I find myself with hours of nothing to do, devour an archive in one sitting and then either go "Woo hoo, it's still active," or "Oh, snotterbuggles, last update was 2001"

Post by: superluser on May 02, 2007, 04:55:50 PM
So I'm trying to figure out your personal text.  My Latin's a bit rusty, but...

Honor probataque virtus

honor (honor) is a noun, and I can't figure out how to connect it to probata (acceptable), the participial form of probo.  And virtus (manliness) doesn't seem to be grammatically connected to anything.

The best that I can come up with is something like

honor `n' acceptable--manliness

Little help (also, the genders are really confusing me)?

Also, THIS COMIC IS SILLY (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=96)!
Title: Re: Oh, heavens. I'm all new and stuff.
Post by: rabid_fox on May 02, 2007, 04:58:14 PM

It translates as "honour and proven virtue", which is on the family crest of the Mag Giolla Ríabhaígh clan. Booya - my second name is silly!

Proven manliness?  (sorry, it's just that I've never seen virtus used for `virtue.')

Post by: rabid_fox on May 02, 2007, 05:08:14 PM

"The word virtus derives from Latin, and means valor, moral strength, excellence, and worth. In ancient times, virtus denoted a way of life and manner of behavior that always aspired to the highest, most positive attributes of people and aspects of human interaction."

Apparently. I'm no latin scholar though.

When I was a child, I struggled with English. I seriously confused the concepts behind the words peace and piece and would often wonder why people were complaining about how much delicious cake they were getting in the Gulf War.
