"Just a quarter-mile more..."

Tracy,

Isn't that Populusque, not Populesque? It's been a while since I've had Latin but I don't think I've ever seen -es as a nominative noun ending.

[RogueExec]

Awwwwww.....come on! You guys were killin' me! ------ don't go into freakin' correct grammar NOW! Jeez.

NEC ASPERA TERRENT.....

I thought that meant:

[spectre]

Just thought of one more. . .

"Just a quarter-mile more..."
-motto of the Holmes Brigade, US Volunteers, Army of the West, 1863-1865

If anyone can give me any help on translation of this from Douglas McAurthur, please do:
"Duty, Honor, Country"

Mo

"Just a quarter-mile more..."

[RogueExec]

"I need some wine for my men, some hay for my horses, and some mud for my turtle."

[Scotty]

Duty, honor, country = (as best as I could find) "Officium, honor, patria"

As for the last one, Dick said that to a waiter once in a little Italian restaurant in Manassas. The little effiminate bastard squinted up his nose and wailed, "YOU WANT WHAAAAT?" We all made fun of him the rest of the evening; then tipped him well for being a 'good sport'.

Noli me vocare, ego te vocabo: Don't call me, I'll call you.

Illiud Latine dici non potest: You can't say that in Latin

Fac ut vivas...Abeo: Get a life...I'm outta here!
