Can I suggest Verdane Bubbers?

I always thought that was a funny name.

Sounds like a Tele player.

Um... the Hat Creek Cattle Company sign in "Lonesome Dove?" It roughly translates as "the changing vine becomes the living vine."

One of my fave Latin manglings is "Veni, vidi, Visa" – "I came, I saw, I did a little shopping." ;-) And I'm not big on bleer these daze, but I'll take a Diet Coke w/lime if you're headed to the bar... :-) CS

Veni, vidi, velcro - I came, I saw, I stuck around.

Hee. :-) I used to have a t-shirt from a Texas chili cook-off that featured an illustration of Rodin's "The Thinker," only he was seated on a toilet, and beneath the drawing was a scroll proclaiming "Flatulo ergo sum" (which I guess you could translate as "I stink, therefore I am.") ;-) CS

There's plenty on the net about that, mostly pointing to the same conclusion:

Well it seems that McMurtry -- accidentally or on purpose -- was misquoting an old proverb attributed to the Roman satirist Juvenal, who lived almost 2000 years ago. The original and correct adage was "Uva uvam videndo (not vivendo) varia fit," which, roughly translated, means "one grape causes another grape to ripen." It's sort of the metaphorical opposite of the old saying that one bad apple can spoil the whole barrel. http://www.fmshrc.gov/new/hearingroomcereemony.html
