Gunnails, why do you have Μολὼν λάβε as your saying? Are you an expert on the battle of Thermopylae?
I believe he changed the "e" to an "o"
"Nuts" was always good enough for me.==================================================
LOL, no.
I saw some one else use it in there signature on another board, had to google it to find out what it said/meant, any rate I thought it was somewhat clever.
Did you google it or can you read that language.
The whole get paid thing is a myth.

It is the famous phrase that King Leonidas of Sparta uttered to Xerxes on the eve of the battle of Thermopylae when he was offered the option of surrendering and laying down his weapons, and having his life as well as those of his men spared in exchange. Μολὼν λάβε is "Molōn labe" essentially meaning "Come and take them!" (e.g. "Come and get my weapons!"). It was a very laconic statement in response to Xerxes's long speech about the futility of holding out. Xerxes's fatal mistake in the battle of Thermopylae was his misunderstanding of the geography of Thermopylae pass which effectively neutralized large scale combat.
That is why I asked you because it doesn't really make sense as a signature in a sports forum. What "thing" could a big bully take from you, or from the Jets? Not a player, because that phrase ends with an object noun.
I'd be shocked if Harrison had anything other than guns tattooed on his body.Wrong. That is Marvin Harrison's ink.
