I'm not up on my Latin, but I'm guessing that "I think, therefore, I am a potato" isn't it.
Frydaze1... I think I need a glass of wine. Would that be "Cogito, ergo, vino!"? ;-)

Cogito, ergo, spud!
If we ignore taxonomical differences for the sake of humor:
I think, therefore I yam.

Hey- Frydaze1, I'm shocked. I thought for sure this would have been elementary for you. Good try anyway. And the answer is: I think, therefore I yam!

I'm probably too late for this but can't resist:
I think, therefore I yam.

I'm about a year too late but did you ever get
Caesar adsum iam forte, Brutus aterat?
Has forgotten soooo much Latin.

Only a year? What is that amongst word friends? A mere blip.
But it did lead to the following (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_Latin)
In P. D. Q. Bach's Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice, the "Monk's Aria" consists of four stanzas of Dog Latin along the lines of
Et in terra chicken pox romana; Sic sic transit gloria mañana; Sanctus estes Kefauviridiana.
On the other hand, the following verses contain only Latin words, but are in fact disguised English:
Brutus ad sum iam forte / Caesar aderat / Brutus sic in omnibus / Caesar sic in at.
("Brutus had some jam for tea / Caesar had a rat / Brutus sick in omnibus / Caesar sick in hat.".
A variant is:
Brutus et erat forti / Caesar et sum iam / Brutus sic in omnibus / Caesar sic intram.
("Brutus ate a rat for tea / Caesar ate some jam / Brutus sick in omnibus / Caesar sick in tram.")
The following Dog Latin poem is often taught,as a joke, to English-speaking students of Latin today:
O civile, si ergo, / Fortibus es in ero. / O Nobile, / Deus trux! / Vatis enim? / Causan dux.
("Oh, see, Willy, see her go / Forty buses in a row. / Oh, no, Billy / They is trucks! / What is in 'em? / Cows and ducks.")
