Hello all, this is my first post to this list. A fairly recent
newspaper comic, "PC and Pixel" had a good one lately. Having
started my quest of tlhIngan Hol a couple weeks ago, I decided
to restore the comic to Klingon.
Setting is a cat looking at a mouse. The mouse starts...
M: nuq qay'lIj?
C: "Cat" jIH. "Mouse" SoH. majaghqu'.
M: QI'yah. jIpo' chamwI'.
M: bIQIp De'pIn. De'Pin puj SoH. chowuvmeH QapHom.
C: HIja'. majaghpu'.

M: What's your problem?
C: I'm a cat and you're a mouse. We're mortal enemies.
M: I beg your pardon? I am a technically adept and binary fluent
computer expert.
M: You are merely a computer user, dependent on guys like me to
perform even the simplest of functions.
C: Like I said, we're mortal enemies.

At first I wanted to do "cat" as "Qat" and mouse as "mo'S", but I
hear that English may be a better choice here. I had a hard time
with "computer user". A computer is that which uses data, and a
user is that which uses a computer. I really wanted to use
"De'wI'wI'", which is jibberish. Comments?
