Commiserations, Joel - house clearance is always a pain, but in those

Does two years of Latin in High School equate to a classical
education? Probably not, but topped up with three years of Old Church

Pantheon has an excellent pedigree, and I am sure our candidate
entrants would be happy, but I can't help thinking it lacks a bit of
relevance to what binds us. How about "MausoleOM"?
