The band split up over creative differences (spandex versus denim was the
sticking point).
The wagon lost a left rear wheel somewhere near Dead Man's Gulch.
Cogito, ergo: tu es outolucko via doco.
Buy, read, and sleep with Matt Neuburg. Or buy, read and sleep with his book
-- AppleScript: The Definitive Guide. (Caveat emptor: I have only tried the
second suggestion.)
Also, Matt speaks Latin way better than me.
(Actually, I just make it up by adding vowels to the end of words. If you
pick from the set of "o, i, a" [1] then you will sound authentic. If people
question your skills at dead languages, assure them that it's New Old Latin
and that, even if your conjugation is rusty, you have no trouble
communicating with native Latin's. If that does not work, tell them that
your sister-in-law works for the Homeland Security Department and that if
they persist in questioning your skills, you can easily have them added to
*The List*.
It's crucial at this stage in your bluff that you pause briefly and then add
emphasis to the phrase "The List", which is how you make things sound really
frightening. After that, you will have a free-pass for butchering any
non-English language [2] you would like.)
I hope that helps.

[1] This also works for any [3] Latin derived non-English language, like
Latin American: doctor-o, stupid-o, et cetera.
[2] You can not be held legally liable, nor held captive, nor have your copy
of the AS:TDG defiled just for butchering a non-English language. Why?
Because the Patriot Act specifically declares that non-English languages are
not languages at all! Clever. ;)
[3] Except French, which is really a derivate of Proto Danish, without the
glottal stop, without the OE character, without cheese filling and with a
funny accent added for theatrical effect. FYI: French is the only known [4]
language to require the wearing of a beret for proper pronunciation.
[4] It is believed that the ancient Mayans wore berets, but anthropological
evidence is slim, and the Academy is divided. Some Mesopotamian ziggurats
and other structures also are shaped like berets, if viewed from certain
angles, but this is believed to be an optical illusion. The architectural
and civil engineering pranks of early civilizations are well documented in
the book "Vini, Vidi, Vi Gotcha!: Practical Humour in Early Civilization
Building". (I found the chapter on Roman plumbing to be really moist.)
