I'd love to have the Latin translation of Dork Tower's:

Kill Everyone!
Destroy Everything!!
Party Down!!!

:)


Omnes Necate!
Omnes Annihilate!
Fortior Celebrate!

Note that "annihilate" has five syllables and "celebrate" has four syllables in Latin. Do not pronounce like the English words "annihilate" and "celebrate".
 

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.
---It is right and fitting to die for your country.
Illegetemis non corobundum.
---Don't let the bastards get you down
Cave canem
---Beware of the dog
 


And some real ones:

De mortuis nil nisi bonum
-Say nothing but good about the dead.
Caveat Emptor
-Buyer beware.
Alia iacta est
-The die is cast. (Said by Caesar when crossing the Rubicon; it means that the plan is in motion and cannot be repealed. Note that contrary to popular belief, this really does refer to throwing a game-die and does not refer to casting a mold: "iacta" means, literally, "thrown.")
Amor caeca est.
-Love is blind.
Fames est optimus coquus
-Hunger is the best cook.
De gustibus non est disputandem
-About tastes there is no arguing. (This is one of my all-time favorite expressions)

Elementis regamis proleum!

Chemicals rule the battlefield!

Ok, I may have misspelled the latin, but it's been a long time since I was in the Army.
