Come and get them/Come and take them.

Thanks for the chance!

It was fun reading these posts and it tickles me to death how many folks have retained some Latin and Greek - now that's pretty traditional!
 
Congratulations! Great idea for a giveaway, I've been a lover of the classics all my life. Thanks again :thumbup:
 
Foilist, Thank you so much! This was incredibly nice and generous of you!

By the way, when I was active duty that was the quote we had on the Armory door lol.

Congratulations on having the lucky post number! :thumbup:

I think that quote was originally attributed to Caligula, who is supposed to have said that in response to his plummeting public approval ratings.
