Project: Klingon magnetic poetry

::engaging delurk mode::

I recently stuck my set of magnetic poetry on the fridge, which resulted
primarily in my brother and his weird friend writing all kinds of weird, sick,
demented poetry on the refridgerator.
It also resulted in my coming up with a neat idea: why not have magnetic tiles
with Klingon words on them? After a bit of cutting and taping with bits of an
index card, I discovered that this brainchild just might actually work, and
work well! I only mad e a few words, but I had fun writing about talking
cockroaches and things like that. Don't ask. 
I should like to enlarge the scope of this project, and it helps that a friend
of mine has a sheet of magnetic plastic-stuff I can play with. I'd like to
bring my magnetic Klingon set to the qep'a' for folks to tinker with and see
what everyone thinks.
The question I have for y'all is: what kind of words would you suggest? I have
a copy of a list of beginner's words Qov posted once, but I think it's on the
hard drive I currently have disconnected. Switching drives on this computer is
more of a pain in the behind than is at all fair. Anyhow, I'd like to hear
what you guys think about this idea.

Thanks in advance!

Sydney!
