What's wrong with Flamingos???
The oh-so-helpful google translate...
@Thumperchick - Snacks!!
What the fuck?
Ooooh, fancy.
Took Latin in eighth grade. No help now. So I will just say - FUCK. Since it wasn't in the title.
@mfladd Someone already beat your fuck.
@jaremelz Fuck them then.
@mfladd no no no fuck the goat-- Curse you @jaremelz !!
@ceagee Noooo! Fuck this, I'm going into hiding.
"Loren Ipsum" is just generic filler text used in sample page layouts in place of the actual text. It's mangled Latin; lorem isn't even the whole word. The original passage the text is based on reads:
Nowadays the text ends up getting mangled even more. There are generators that will produce better gibberish that more closely resembles English or other languages, but often the text still begins with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" as a convention to indicate the following text is gibberish and not meant for reading.
@jqubed Might I inquire what the original text it was?
Thanks for solving the mystery. Damn you goat @jaremelz for making latin so hard.
@ceagee Good question: Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum (On the Ends of Goods and Evils, or alternatively [About] The Purposes of Good and Evil)
More on Wikipedia
@jqubed cool. Thanks
@ceagee let me translate for you

Kid walks into the soda fountain and asks for some ice cream. The soda jerk tells him, "I've got vanilla or strawberry, what kind do you want?"
Kid thinks about it a minute, then replies, "I want some chocolate ice cream."
Soda jerk reminds him, "All I've got is vanilla or strawberry, you'll have to pick one of those."
Kid ponders this a long time, finally says, "OK, I'll take some chocolate ice cream."
Soda jerk says, "Kid, spell the 'van' in vanilla."
Kid: "V-A-N."
Jerk: "Great, now spell the 'straw' in strawberry."
Kid: "S-T-R-A-W."
Jerk: "Perfect. Now spell the 'fuck' in chocolate."
Kid: "There ain't no fuck'in chocolate!"
"That's what I've been trying to tell you."
@2many2no that gets you special stars
@2many2no I'll just have the spam.
But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing of a pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.
Oh my, everyone wants to matter and count on some sort of everlasting existence for every good everyone, after death. This is the most important question in life period, and no one knows the answer. That is what you were saying , right?
@mick who are you asking? If me... then I will admit those words above are not mine... they belong to Marcus Tullius Cicero ( January 3, 107 BC - December 7, 43 BC)
Fuku?

@walarney yep. Perhaps it was too subtle.
