If Lawrence think's he's going to get presents on QI'lop, he's in for a

stuffed to'baj legs, and we each get to take any non-sacred object from his
house. juHwIjDaq Dochvetlh vItlhap.

drinking green beer with {pubta'bogh gharghHIq} or {cha'vatlh ben HIq}
and say {reH tlhIngan wo' taHjaj} instead of "Erin go bragh."
