Huh. That does about sum it up, actually. Looks like perfectly good latin to me.
"coito" appears to be future active imperitive, so it could be translated as:
"F***! Therefore, I am"
It's pretty close. To be perfect we'd want 'I f***'. I don't think it's quite right for that but people with a smattering of Latin have no problem getting the right idea.
As with Joe Stillwell's favorite pseudo-Latin "Illegitimati non carborundum."

Does anyone know how to remove feathers that have been stuck to one's head with superglue?

Belt sander.
Why remove them? Why not glue on more and pass as a T.Rex until the natural epidermal turnover?

Yeah, that would be "Coeo ergo sum", but you can't claim an "accidental" typo for that one...

Are they flattering pictures? Am I in them? Where can I purchase copies for my family and friends?

ummm...you know, since I have sat here trying to come up with a witty comback and have been unable to (I blame it on the airplanes that shoot out chemicals in their chemtrails that render me unable to think properly. If this were not happening, I am sure that I would be able to come up with that witty comeback with no problem.).....yes, I am impressed. You must not have those airplanes where you live

Yes, I think that it is safe to say that we have progressed into retrogression. I may have to indulge in repression to eliminate the memories of this transgression

Yes, I guess.
But, no need to feel distressed,
or unblessed. Retro is
still part of the process,
whether feathered, or featherless.
