Dysig ond unsnottor

As [profile] gryphonvere, my Canadian alter ego, can easily tell you, I traditionally have no tolerance for soppiness. Very matter-of-fact person, I am. With high standards regarding praise literature.
However, my brain has been eaten by PinkNFluffies. I am right ashamed of myself. Ic, dysig ond unsnottor, am gleeing over this, despite the fact that it is incomprehensible to me, and probably terribly written as well.

[profile] goblinpaladin , meanwhile, should be commended for this novel way of memorising gramatical structures. I, when preparing my french exam, wrote a series of short exercises about students failing exams. He writes me letters in Latin! *glees*

mea mellita ami,

ego amo te. novisti me amam te. hoc per gestum et tactum et aspectum
factum erat. dicimus. dicimus nimis, si quid. et nunc amor est.

felicior est te amatoris. cum dico velle manere te, id in animo
habere. stultam est! scio illud. sed volo esse te. ego amo te.

hic amor nos vicit. is nostrae turres et propugnaculo ballistis
delevit, et oppida nostrarum animarum. potvisti non repugnare.

si quid evenerit, erimus bene. erimus una. barbari mei mali imperium
nostri amoris viceru
nt non1. habemus inter se, et illud satis est.

depereo te, mea ami. femina optima es, omnum feminae,

tuus brenton.

1: i am instructed to correct that sentence with: barbari mei mali imperium
nostri amoris non vincient.
But i like his grammar faulty.

 No one who actually reads Latin is allowed to give me a translation before B does. Bablefish offerings and general mockery are both welcome.

by "bablefish offerings", do you mean we are allowed to give obviously incorrect translations, whether they be of the Engrish sort or the purely insane?

Let's see here...

My millipede Amy,

Your ego is a moat. Me and mum find this quite novel. As per the gestation tactics of the aspect-ratio of erratic factions... dismiss. Dismiss nimbly, like a squid! And no more estimates.

Felicity, the animator, comes with all manner of dice and vellum, and an animal-hair beret. Sultanas for all! Scorpions diluted! So volatile, in essence. Your ego is a moat.

Hiccups visit no more. If Nostradamus predicts pugnacious ballistics delivered, oppose Nostradamus with animals! Preposterous is his repugnance!

The evening squids have erroneously been. Erroneous once! Barbara (hey, that's me!) is mainly under imperius curse, more by the nostrils, not visceral. He must interest you, with diluted satin estimates.

Desperate times, my Amy! Feminists optimise as ominous feminists!

Trust Brenton.

...

..you're right, B. Translating latin sure is hard work.
