I think it is Latin, not Italian for "fast friends" (puns intended, I'm sure!)

Amici Veloci is supposed to mean Fast Friends in Italian, according to Babelfish. Maybe all this time we've been wearing jerseys that really say something like "When pigs fly".

Babelfish is correct. I knew Amici before, and asked my friend (who is fluent in Italian) about the word "Veloci." She asked in what context, and I told her, and she replied, "Fast friends, that's cute!"

(I will - at least arm warmers and short sleeve! - when I get back from GITAP and there's a new paycheck in the bank... *maybe* a bigger one...)

Great photo of y'all in your AV kit, by the way.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

I'll be getting arm warmers for a friend, a second jersey for me, and I just got the check from the Danville parking lot guy (the story SK never told!), so that's another shortsleeve jersey...
Keep calm and carry on...

What do you think the chances of these arriving in my hands by August 18th are? I really want to wear it in my first century!
BTW...I'm going to put in my order as soon as I get Tiffanie's sizing. I'm buying her an AV jersey for her birthday present.

Earlier in this thread, AG (post # 51) and I (post #78) both discussed how we thought the arm warmers run small. Originally Posted by tlkiwi

So, unless your arms are very slender, I suggest you order arm warmers in a size medium.
