I got this from a reader. I have edited a few bits out:

Dear Father Z,
I work part-time as reference librarian at the __ library on the campus of the ___. Tonight, just minutes ago as I walking past a bunch of computers I saw a [seminarian] student reading your blog. I could see the famous SAY THE BLACK – DO THE RED saying popping off the screen. I hope this give you a laugh. I know chuckled a bit.
Thanks for that!

Someone do a Latin version? please? I’ve tried, but it’s beyond my feeble skills.
Berenike: How about:
atra dicenda, rubra facienda.
I am sure there is more than one Raphaela on the internet, but – do I perhaps know you? Whether or not – danke schoen!
Do you not think retaining the imperative would be punchier?
But perhaps…
And meanwhile I have a sneaky feeling I know both of you! Well, online, of course.
Erm, sorry, Fr.Z., for clogging up your inbox!
Berenike: I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure, but if you told me where else you hang out, it might ring a bell? As for retaining the imperatives, I decided against them because I prefer the sonorous way those gerundives roll off the tongue.
Puella (sc. Paschalis): Here’s looking at you! :D
Well, if we exchanged emails a day or so ago then it’s you. :-)
(about Henley)
Berenike: Nope, sorry. Wasn’t me. :(
It’s a shame you’re not Michaela, I need one to make up the trio. But now I have a trio of Raphaelas, which is also something. Thanks again.
