Conversations we shouldn't have to have twice, but *have* had twice. At least.

timprov: I think you're confusing Charles Williams and Billy Dee Williams again.

Later, me: Where did Jimmy Connors's chair come into this?

Later still, me: Kerplunk!
timprov: Kerplunk?
me: It's the only word of Klingon I know.

kerplunk is the sound frogs make when they jump into a pond from a rock.

maybe you were thinking k'plaach, which is klingon for 'greetings'...

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Yes, and it makes him laugh every time.

The only klingon I know is from John Ford's star trek novel that wasn't a musical.

kai the m'rissa!

Kai the Kev!

If you have to know Klingon from anywhere, that's a good where.

I liked the musical too, but learned no Klingon from it. Hmm, the library recently added some donated audio cassettes on learning Klingon, I could bring it with me this weekend for you to enjoy? ;) Oh!--um, does Sunday lunch work for you & yours, and have you a preference on eating establishments?

Sunday lunch does indeed work, and it is written on my calendar, and you can either come here and eat and admire our new paint or we can figure out somewhere else. Why don't you talk to the Other Parties Involved, and we can do the rest of this on e-mail.

okey-doke!! Oh! would a 1952 fodor's guide of scandinavia be of use to you? there's a brief section (5-10 pages) about lappland and the writer's journeies and experiences there.

It'd probably be of some use but not infinite use, so if it's at great cost to you, don't worry about it, but if it's free or exceptionally cheap, yes, please.

[greykev.livejournal.com]

the joys of sifting through donated books; it is cheap as free an only somewhat musty.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Neat!

This is random (but so's the entry, so I'm plunging ahead anyway), but I love to turn to Columbina and NonElvis, and say in my Worf voice, "Your cat is without honor." I crack myself up.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Now I am repeating it in my Worf voice and giggling.

I love my Worf voice. No one would ever mistake me for Worf (being, y'know, an alto and all), and yet no one ever has any doubt as to which voice it is, even when it shows up utterly without context.
