@Gg: Whoa, you’d better watch where you’re swinging that Latin around here! Classicists are thick on the ground at Prepoceros.

I’d say it’s more like Timeo corbes et dona ferentes, which *less* roughly translates to “I fear baskets, even when (they are) bearing gifts.”

Or we could casually toss hamper into the 2nd declension and say Timeo hampros . . .

I hate it when computers think they know what I want. Except when they’re right.

I was in fact firmly in Stage One through almost my entire college career to-date (until yesterday), the proud owner and user of two collapsible laundry sacks, one made of plastic mesh and the other of canvas. Neither intentionally coordinated with the rest of my “furniture,” but the mesh one does have my name monogrammed on it in my school colors, if that counts for anything.

If only ‘good’ were as fascinating or engaging as trivia.

* I’m a fan of convention, in case that wasn’t clear—I relish the aura of elitism it lends to the “classical” sciences. =)
