And here… we… go.
From top to bottom:
Bantam New College Latin & English Dictionary, Smythe Greek Grammar, Middle Liddell, Payne Smith Compendious Syriac Dictionary, BDAG, Sophocles Glossary of Later and Byzantine Greek, Great Scott, OLD.
Refresher on the plan:
Find a creative way to picture yourselves with your ginormous dead language reference materials. If that’s a photo, great. If that’s a video, great. Just come up with something. Mine’s pretty obvious; you can do better than that.
Post it on Flickr or Twitpic or YouTube or wherever, and then leave a link as a comment on this post.
You have until 22 May 2009 to take your picture and post your link (which means I also have that long to come up with a prize or prizes).
Multiple entries are fine.
Tweet this, Facebook it, e-mail it around, put it up in skywriting — but I want to see as many entries as possible. I’m quite serious about this. Let’s show the world we’ve got big, heavy, obscure books, and we’re not ashamed of that.
Get ready, get set — go! Have fun!

This is not exactly what you asked for, but it does fit with the title. My friend and I left secondary school on Friday, and this was our last day gesture. (N.B. it doesn’t make much sense unless you’ve read the book/seen the film/heard the radio show – hope you have).
