This is probably bad protocol, not to wait until the BG has dealt with
this. All I can say in my defense was that suddenly, for the first time
in a while, I was motivated to use Klingon :) ... can that be bad? ;)

All I really wanted to do was try out my version of the curse:
yInlIj Dajjaj!
"may your life be interesting!". Unfortunately it sounds more like the
sort of curse used by accountants, not Klingons :-/ Worse, it may be
Klingon for "get a life". Oops.
