Back in the 1890s, when Westerners had just begun to discover the unending source of fascination that is Japan, the cheerfully scatological nature of Shinto creation myths was considered too indelicate for a general readership. To combat this problem, W.G. Aston, translator of the Nihongi (if I'm not mistaken, I believe his is the only translation

Could 'postemo' be a typo for 'postremo'?

[shake_the_stars]

...it ttly could be. I didn't even think about that.

DON'T TRANSLATE AFTER BEING UP ALL NIGHT, KIDDIES. :D

[augustuscaesar]

I'd need a dictionary handy to translate most of that, regardless of whether I'd been up all night or not :)

[shake_the_stars]

Secretly, I cheated and used the Lewis and Short version available through the Perseus Project *g* I do retain enough Latin that I had the gist of most of it before starting to formally translate, though. :)

...oh wow. That's hot.

[shake_the_stars]

Yeah, nothing says "hot sex" like the sudden and random appearance of a bird *g*

[samanosukesgirl]

Or if you're a filthy, dirty pervert.

Point!! xD

Here at The Profane Tales, we strive to cater to our valued filthy, dirty pervert audience. :D

I'm typing this comment with one hand, Lee. Thanks a lot for overstimulating my puny brain! All that pr0n in one night is certainly too much for me to handle.

Actually, the only reason I'd ever be fapping over this is the Latin, which I find very impressive regardless of any typos going on, but alas, I am not fapping. I'm just impressed and feeling giggly over this dirty, dirty post.

[shake_the_stars]

That's because pr0n dissipates one's energies and enervates one's soul. You know what the cure for that is? That's right: manly hard labor. Though you'd have to do a lot of manly hard labor to make up for that hot, hot wagtail action. ^_-

The Latin is actually not that difficult, grammatically speaking, but I'll never convince you of that. ^^6 *squeezes her giggly ukelette*

[duokinneas]

Apparently, one's soul is also enervated by the presence of wagtails. I never thought that having a bird present at the time of copulation would count as exhibitionism, but...I now think otherwise. I mean, it was too hawtt for words!

Nah, you won't. Latin is one of those languages that is imposing and astounding to me, like looking at the King passing by and meeting his gaze; but since I don't want to be the King, I don't think I want to learn Latin. And besides, I only have a mind that wraps around Japanese, so I'm afraid of the day I up and decide to learn Korean and/or Mandarin. I'll screw up the grammar rules so badly.

[shake_the_stars]

I made the mistake of surfing AFFN ("Billions and Billions of Childhoods Raped") earlier today. That enervated my soul, let me tell you. To remind myself that I am a man, I went out and braved the mosquitoes in my very badass way, so that we might eat MEATS that had been cooked on an OPEN FIRE.

(Speaking of meats, even if you hadn't sworn them off, you almost certainly are not interested in this.)

In re: the matter of hawtt pr0n, I had a wonderful, terrible idea. Maybe I can work on it when I'm supposed to be writing other things. :D

Silly seahorse, if you can learn Japanese, you can learn Latin! ^__^ I suspect I've enabled you too much to see the percentage for you in actual study of Latin, though. ("Why should I?" Talyn said, leaning back in her desk chair. "Lee translates everything for me anyway." She then made a little emoticon face.)
