John, I've been trying to understand your tag. Is is something like "sadness (is gone), hail spring, girls (something) with joy"?
Hey, evil dead, you're in my seat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts. Girls dig scars.

Oh, please be kidding.

See, if it were about drinking, I'd have gotten it. Carmina Burana gave me that much.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
please be kidding.
That was my best guess (not that my Latin's up to much).

I need to put Night Court on my DVD wish list.
I'll probably be getting a few of the later seasons when they're released--the Markie Post years were the best overall, even if they are missing the incomparable Selma Diamond.

No, I'm pretty sure.
Dolor est fugax. Gloria perennis. Puellae cicatricabus gaudent.
Dolor=pain, fugax = fleeting. Gloria=glory perennis = lasts. Puellae=girls cicatrwhatev=scars gaudent = gotta be dig, at this point.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Yeah, I see it now. Like I said, my Latin is largely ecclesiastical texts and Carmina. Carmina had me covered for "puellae," and the church covered "gaudent", "gloria", and "dolor".
The internet is weird.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I can't even.
Dolor=pain, fugax = fleeting. Gloria=glory perennis = lasts. Puellae=girls cicatrwhatev=scars gaudent = gotta be dig, at this point.
Yes. Glory is forever/endures.
Gaudent is "regard with pleasure/approval", good fit for digs, I'd say.
The translation isn't my work, but that of a friend who is a working latin teacher (and kickass Jeopardy/Millionaire player). I think it is a keeper. Words to live by (in the case of some of my friends, close enough to literally).
