Shockingly dim even for you, INTRANSIT. I fear all the moonshine you've been hauling in your 18-wheeler has been somehow seeping into your mindlobes.

It's not archaic, but it's the province of dims-only.

P.S. zodiac, I just noticed that you addressed this point in a post below. I would add that given that the first line (+ title) of this poeme are nonsense, and that there doesn't seem to be a particularly nice fix that would fit with the rest of the poeme, the best solution is to scrap the whole thing. It's garbled Beyond Thunderdome anyway :(

> All you have to do, you fucking clod, is "Call the wrath of God upon ye/thee/you/whateverthefuck."

The thing is that it's a command, so it still sounds dodge if you say "Call the wrath of God upon thee". Commands are in the 2nd person. Because thee means you, you're commanding someone to call the wrath of God upon themselves! Is that really what he means? He should get rid of the you/thee/ye altogether, and put:

"Call the wrath of God to fall upon those who see fit to..."

You are a dunce of the highest order. I have just explained to you why "Call upon the wrath of God on thee" makes no sense. One of the steps in my explanation was to point out that "thee" means "you". Your response was to paste a dictionary definition which says that "thee" means "you". Well done!!!!!!!11

richa is a bumface. He sings with the girls. "Why do you sing with the girls?" asks Caecilius. "I'm a bumface" says richa. "Pests! Scoundrels!" yells Caecilius. Much blood flows.

I don't know how you get that from translating individual words. The correct translation is: richa is a bumface. He sings with the girls. "Why do you sing with the girls?" asks Caecilius. richa says: "I'm a bumface."
"Pests! Scoundrels!" yells Caecilius. Much blood flows.

I was just about to send Burgers a link to this poeme, but on reading it a second time I realised that that would be an unbelievably appalling idea. Particularly so soon after his you know what.

Except "Call upon the wrath of God on thee" is such an awkward line. Is "Call upon" a command? Or does it mean "I call upon"? If it's a command, then it makes no sense because you're saying "You call upon the wrath of God on you", because "thee" means you. What you should be saying is something like:

"Call upon the wrath of God, to fall upon those who see fit to tamper with..."

If it means "I call upon", then it's still awkward, because you're saying "I call upon the wrath of God on you", which is full of ambiguities. Are you calling upon a wrath of god that's sitting on someone? Are you calling upon the wrath of God whilst standing on someone? Or are you calling upon the wrath of God, to fall upon someone? You want the latter, but the sentence as you've written it could be read all three ways.

There are other problems with this poeme, mostly due to a lack of punctuation. In short, what you have is a garbled mess :(

It is a good thing, in moderation. What do you think?

richa bumface est. cum puellis cantat. "cur cantas cum puellis?" caecilius rogat. richa inquit: "bumface sum."
"pestis! furcifer!" caecilius exclamat. multus sanguis fluit.

Yes; the walk to the outhouse can be a terrible, lonely thing. Especially when you know you're going to do a whopper turd.
