Further, now that you mention it, I can absolutely see the old lady riding the pig. That's kinda neat.

I like being from a country that is someone's weird uncle. It so totally works for me.

I'll make you read "Cena Trimalchionis" when I upload it It is funneh.

I can also teach you to curse in Latin, if you so desire.
