Commenting in latin in absurdum to make yourself look academic is, de facto, pretentious. Writing in latin is really not my forte either, so I'll just stick with english.
"I’ve often been searching around, my busy mind hunting, as to how I could send you Catullus' poems, so they’d soften you towards me, so you’d not try to land your hostile shafts on my head, now I see I’ve troubled myself in vain, Buttercheese, my good intentions were worthless. I’ll evade the shafts of yours you fire at me, but you’ll be punished, fixed for ever by mine."
If that one isn't loaded with innuendo, then I don't know what is.
It was one of the ones I could actually post on the forums that wouldn't violate the TOS. People over the age of 31, much less 13, shouldn't read the filthiest of Catullus' poetry.
I didn't know that sinapis was Latin for mustard until I decided to look up whether there was a word in Latin for mustard, but I didn't think until after looking up words that I could've just looked at the wiki for the plant to find that one out lol

Too dirty for these forums? Time to google! *cracks knuckles*
If you are interested in Romans being saucy friends I would also heartily recommend that you look up some of the graffiti they found in Pompeii. Some good chuckles to be had for sure.
I once took a course called "Love in old Greece and Rome" and it was very instructive, to say the least. Though now I've got to find where the heck did I put all these poems...

I ghostwrote some of that graffiti through backwards causation.
I say leave Carthage alone, I live there right now! Modern Carthage is always sunny, it's a beautiful coastal suburb, and the locals are quite nice.
Come to think of it, I pay too much in taxes and there is always some drama going on. Politics never changes, also there are no elephants... a bit like Faerun. What am I doing here? Carthago delenda est. I can always ascend to godhood, or just return to plain boring Europe

I would never stoop to such a tactic.
Mea culpa? Never!
Ergo, ipso facto, I am always rite! (sic)
Cogitat, ergo eras!
I change my mind, Carthage should burn because Catullus is the best poet the world has ever seen.

Lets have a look what's next.
'Cycle on a tandem with a chimpanzee'. Jeez. Why is it I never manage to get past that first box!
Oooh no missus, titter ye not!
