From Rome: We're glad to know you like our quotes.. or at least publish them right before our last final of the semester..
Catholic Dungeons & Dragons? Meredith, I'm surprised at you. :P (I'd have expected that from Sheila. :D)
Miss Elizabeth, we did enjoy them, very much. As for publishing them . . . until recently, I didn't even know that Romans used Clotheslines. I thought you hung your washing on the Cataline.
[::dodges rotten tomatoes::] Hey, don't blame me, I didn't make it up. :D
I just wished that all y'all had been more faithful in posting ALL the clotheslines from the Front Royal campus.. those're the ones that we miss the most..
Elizabeth
Trust us . . . the Clothesline crop has been rather thin this semester. There were too many freshmen who didn't know what a good Clothesline was.
Mea culpa, though . . . I didn't submit any of the ones I collected. I guess I can't complain about a small harvest when I didn't exactly pitch in.
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
The lack of clotheslines has been entirely my fault. There have been lots of good ones lately, but I have been sitting on them, inadvertantly... I've had so much to do, so many papers. I will get around to posting some more this week.
A calendar week or a 7-day week or a Christendom week?
*waits patiently for Front Royal clotheslines to be strung out in the open*
I got a kick of translating "penates" as "yard gnomes" when I was reading Vergil.
