Yes, but I'm afraid I've ruined mine in a completely different way.  I was
planning to put the motto of our former Shire on it, "Mangia, mangia"  (eat,
eat - in Italian).  I should have gotten out the dictionary because it ended
up reading "mange, mange", which is an unfortunate skin ailment.  *sigh*
It's a good thing it makes me laugh whenever I see it.  :)
