<font style="" face="Courier New">Interesting. I would think that if Klingons managed to make their way to 21st century Earth, they may have to make do with Terran cuisine (burnt animals and all). And I don't think it's fair to assume that <i>all</i> Klingons would find Terran food and drink distasteful. Worf seemed to enjoy prune juice. There's plenty that a Klingon could order at a local bar that would satisfy their need for a strong drink. And there are plenty of places on Earth that serve raw or semi-raw animals. Then again, maybe they'd take one look around and decide to hightail it back to Qo'noS. Of course, there are a good many words included in the Eurotalk Talk Now! Klingon software that correspond to items I am almost certain you would never find on Qo'noS...well, unless First City has a Humantown where you can pick up the soap, toothpaste, combs, aspirin (I <i>really</i> like the Klingon word for aspirin) and any other toiletries you may have forgotten to pack.<br id="ecxFontBreak"></font><br><br><font style="" face="Courier New"><br>-- jhb<br></font><br><br><div>> Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2011 13:07:56 +0200<br>> From: [email protected]<br>> To: [email protected]<br>> Subject: Re: [Tlhingan-hol] swimming Teddy-bears in Klingon<br>> <br>> ja' SuStel:<br>> > Besides, last week the thought of translating "I ate a cheeseburger and<br>> > fries while riding the train to Norway, but I got a Coke stain on my tie"<br>> > could send any of us into a coma.
