    or .Nunquam recubo tamen sum barbarus'. In latin the Ego is understood most of the time.

    Though, as I noted above, "recubo" means to lie down or rest, as on a bed.

    P.S. I can think of nothing scarier facing than a bunch of barbarians hopped up on caffeine and never able to sleep

    Thanks in advance.

    HOLD UP. Are you calling Gaelic "gobbily-gook"? Young man, I think we need to have a talk. Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste, ná Béarla cliste.

    No, I think he didn't want to be like the girls that think they get "Love" tattooed on their arm in Chinese and it turns out to be "unclean" or "Sesame Chicken".

    I can't blame him. A little bit of research goes a long way.

    No sir, I am most certainly not. As others have stated, I do not want to end up with something on my arm that isn't what I thought it was.

    I've heard stories of women getting "Good but cheap" tattooed on themselves when they copy the Chinese off a restaurant menu.

    I did not intend to offend or disrespect anybody.

    Here is the quote, as pulled off of the Internet Movie Database.

    "Ego nunquam pronunciari mendacium! Sed ego sum homo indomitus."
    (I never lie! But I am indeed a savage.)

    Is that close? If I get something this big, it will probably be a rather large piece, either a part of my full lower-leg sleeve, or my back piece.

    To those who are offended by tattoos, I would suggest not getting one. To those who are offended by other people having tattoos, I would suggest walking with your eyes closed.
