esse unus jacassus
you are probably right about endowment translation
just cuttin up

I won the Latin award in 8th grade, seriously
only 40 kids, each dutifully enduring the forced nonsense in a catholic prison camp posing as a grade school, complete with commandant Sister Blandina
poor sow ended up in an insane asylum two years after I was done with her
sad but true
she slapped faces, pulled ears, yanked hair, slammed with rulers, poked collar bones
I went out of my way to destroy her equilibrium
TechGuerilla had Blandina also
he set her up, and I pushed her over the edge next year

years later Cheech & Chong put it best: Sister Mary Elephant

I was motivated to excel in Latin class only because realllllly cute nun taught it
she had a moustache that didnt distract me from that great figure and ample chest
I wanted to get under that habit real bad
