http://www.postcrescent.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080903/APC0101/80903099/1979 ST. PAUL, Minn. ? New York Rep. Peter King won't win any awards for diplomacy ? at least in Wisconsin. "I want to thank all the people of Wisconsin for giving us Brett Favre," King told Wisconsin Republicans here for their party's national convention. The state's GOP delegation had invited King, the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, to talk about national security. Favre, in case anyone missed the Green Bay Packers' soap opera over the summer, will play for the New York Jets this season. The quarterback came out of a nanosecond-long retirement and ignited statewide angst over whether he would rejoin the team where he had become a football legend. If Wisconsinites get misty-eyed over Favre by season's end, King pointedly suggested that everyone "watch the Super Bowl." King, undeterred by rumbling from Wisconsin GOPers, gleefully announced he "just wanted to rub it in." Mission accomplished, Congressman King. :beer:
Good for him. Most of the stiffs in WI likely sided with GB management anyways. Favre deserves to play where he's wanted.
Maybe he should send candy, flowers, and a nice little thank you note to TT. Or better yet, maybe he can book him on a cruise ship at the end of the season. :wink:
- The only one I know of is "Morelia Viridis", which is a Python Snake (I believe its the green one, but can't remember off-hand) However the poster's name probably refers to the famous sentence said by Gaius Iulius Caesar, during the second greek insurrection. - The Roman army led by Caesar crushed the rebellion in mere 4-5 hours, history says, and would probably have been forgotten if he (read Caesar) hadn't said; "Veni, Vedi, Vici" - "I came, I saw, I conquered" ...
We all know "Veni Vidi Vici", that's why I only asked about the word "Viridis". Does it actually mean the color green or are you making that up?
Nah: Verdi means green and our Mean Joe Green writes operas in Italy and is called Giuseppe Verdi, Viridis is a pit viper that we call a rattlesnake, I think.
anyone want to pm the guy with that name and get his answer on the definition? im sure that would settle the debate....
Viridis is Latin for green. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/viridis http://www.ablemedia.com/ctcweb/glossary/glossaryv.html#viridis You want more links? You're wrong.
Yisman: Your a wordsmith, I was wrong, Verde is a plural of green, whatever that means and the rattlesnake latin name is crotalus viridis and its not green at all, go figure.
If by that you mean slow, confused, and unable to finish anything off, your 100% correct. At least on offense. :smile:
