Oh, I dunno; "Sesame Chicken" in Chinese characters might look quite fetching. Tell 'em it means "Scotia Rocks".
(Well, I thought it was funny, so there!)

De gustibus non est disputamdum
I'd go with something Greek since the letters look cool.
My Greek is really rusty, but here goes: Πολλές λόγοι φτώχεια
That should be "many words are poverty," of as the Spartans would have said, "Get to the point."

I'm already getting "With it or on it" inked onto me (check out 300 for the reference). But thanks for the suggestion!

Now that's cool!
And I didn't even have to check the movie. I knew about the Spartan mothers.

I bet the Greek speaking Spartans would be offended to have their saying remembered by it's Latin (vulgar) derivative. Besides, what could be more eloquent than "Συν ται η επι ται!"

It shall be in Greek, my friend, don't worry! I just didn't feel like looking up the appropriate thought at the time!

Just make one very small correction: it's "De gustibus non disputaNdum."
Thanks for that phrase in Greek, Scot. Very useful! A Greek coworker says that the full phrase is "ta polla logoi he phtokeia." (My sense, though, is that it's in a very modern Greek form.)
My question to you is how you got the Greek letters to show? I use the ASCII table, but have found only a few of them there.

He began speaking French, and then the princesses adviser changed to Latin so he could talk in private...or so he thought. Hehehehe
