What fun!

Irish: Go gcreime cúnna ifrinn do chuid infheistíochtaí.

Phonetic: guh GREH-muh KOO-nuh IHF-rin duh khwihj IN-aysh-chee-uhkh-tee.

I only have two shakes of a lamb's tail, but I had to waste them doing this because it was just too cool not to!!

Go gcreime na gráinneoga cealgrúnacha do ghrianán rúnda.

(May the malevolent hedgehogs gnaw at your secret bower.)

Even the phoentic part doesn't help me at all. I know it's full of gutteral hacking sounds somewhere. When I was in England this woman gave me a sample of Welsh. I didn't know two "L's" sounded like that.

Irish isn't really all that gutteral, and the phonetics are pretty regular, once you get used to them.

If you want to hear some good sound samples, go to www.irishgaelictranslator.com and click on "sayings." Or if you need help with a pronunciation, try the translation forum...folks there are pretty good at helping de-mystify the sounds.

As long as they stay the heck out of my Cheerios, I'm OK with that.

It has to be admitted that the said 'sympathetic lawyer' is also a board member who may have already looked up the curse engine and thus known what to target.
