Now this one I totally understand. WooHoo! Goodie for me! I like this color background. Very interesting. I pick this one so far.

I had to read it several times to get the full implication. First the fact that you thought to use two languages; then the irony of the bold, indeterrable, get-up-and-go only to be utterly belied by the little lazy 'later'... and then there's the match and contrast-- the bold, sieze the day is characteristic of the Latin language and their people, but the laid-back "tomorrow" will-do-just-as-well, so reflects the friendly, easy-going Hispanic culture. What a piece of work!
Fascinating... creativity in itself deserves a cup. I might have thought to use a different language (though I didn't)... but who would have thought to use two? This might win gold were the contest mine, since I love languages-- and like laughable irony and words that say three times what they normally do. Great job! Good luck.

lol. This was great. You think it's all sieze the day...in latin, then tomorrow in spanish. I dunno if you were going for the conflict in language as well as message but I love it anyway!!

Hmmmmm I really don't understand this one. So I'm off for the 40lb dictionary. If I pull a muscle, or pop something it's all your falt Susan.

Oh this is too funny!

I agree that Yem is pointless...he is a one man Absurdist drama. Beckett couldn't have written him.
So you are saying he's lazy? Poor lazy Yem.
Ok, this is funny, creative and yeah, won't be easy to beat...something tells me Yem will be handing out more than 3 trophies. -
You should so win! Excellent. Glad I didn't read this or others before posting my own or I wouldn't have
-
aahh... 'Pluk de dag' as we say in Dutch... in fact, a very wonderful message we all should keep in mind each morning when we get out of bed
Best wishes in this contest

Yes but that is in English!!!
You are just jealous because you did not think of it... Besides maņana sounds so much more relaxed than tomorrow...
Thanks -
LOL!
Ah, the futility of it all, hehe.. very clever Susan! Brevity and wit, I love it!

No fair, Susan! Most of us already know that "Sieze the day" is three words, and "tomorrow" would make it four. Cheater!
-
