This is how people get shot in the face with shotguns…

We should not be encouraging him …but what they heck!! This is close: Salute! Vern! Habitum meus fermentum, quod vigilo is

Ok, here's my go, and for those who really know latin , I'd love to know what the real answer is! Salute! Verne! Conplecte meum cervesam, et hunc specta

Not exactly shotguns, Allen. Hillbillies with clasical education: YouTube link Mrs Pumblechook, there is no one real answer, but some come closer. Perhaps if said with an Oscan accent…

I notice that sturdy support does not seem to be a top requirement in these activities. Rest it on a cinder block.

How about the latin for "Once you start to increase the tension, Mr. Ballista is no longer your friend."? Allen, I notice the lads in your link were at least conveniently close to a cemetery.

The comments on Allen's video remind me quite a bit of TMP.

I used to know the Latin for 'Caeser threw his cavalry over the ditch'. Strong bloke that Julius Caeser.
