Ave, thirsty forum-goers!
I am a homebrewer (active on homebrewtalk.com) and have recently settled on a name for my operations: Cap'n Jewbeard's Fyne Fermenteds. (My logo is an adaptation of the Calico Jack Rackham flag, with the skull and cross't swords; I have added a yarmulke and payes to the skull).
As we in my outfit are pirates of a certain breeding and education, we have decided that a Latin Motto would suit us well (and it will be sewn onto our flag that we will use when we carouse at Renaissance Faires).
So- to the actual translation:
I wanted to make a subtle nod to the phrase "Memento Mori," which, if I understand correctly, means "Remember you will die" and, in its original (pre-christian) incarnation was an exhortation to enjoy life, much as "Eat, drink, and be merry..."
My motto will be something like "Remember You Will Thirst", or "Remember Your Thirst", encouraging the crew to drink up and enjoy.
I am hoping to stay within these parameters:
1) I'd like to keep it to a two-word phrase, if possible, and possibly ending with the "i", as "Memento _____i". I don't know Latin word forms well enough to know if this is possible.
2) If that is not feasible, I'd like to keep it at least reminiscent of the original phrase, to create a tickle of amusement for those who recognize it.
Thanks all! And for those who help me, I may ship you a sample of "live yeast cultures in solution" so ye can see what we do aboard ship.
