Here’s the video from last weekends KAG celebration in Columbus, OH:
This was broadcast on TV Saturday night as part of the news. Now I’ve been on TV speaking Klingon! Qapla’!
nep DunHa’ (Terrible Lie)
by Chris on Apr.10, 2009, under Klingon, tlhIngan Hol
I got a request today from @holset84 asking for a translation of Nine Inch Nails song Terrible Lie in return for some free beer! ;D
I had to dig around to find a decent set of lyrics, and the ones I found had some slight difference from the version of the song I found on songza. I tried to make it singable (i.e. same number of syllables per line) but it was tough in some places. It’s not perfect and there are a few bits that could probably be better, but it’s done for the most part.
Read the full translation after the “more”.

If you follow me, @roneyII or @peSHIr on twitter you’ll know that the third (wejDIch) Wednesday of every month is used to practice our Klingon.
As an extra bit of training, and for those that don’t speak Klingon, I’m going to post all the translations to my tweets.
See them all after the break.

This is just a quick update for the new Klingon Lesson I added to my tlhIngan Hol Database. You can access it on the Lessons page.
I’m looking for ideas for more lessons, so if there if something you want to see just comment here or @qurgh me on twitter.
Klingon TWATGeek

DaH jIngev’egh. TWATGeek lutHommey vImughtaH. DaH DalaDlaH!
I’ve been translating The World According to Geek into Klingon. It’s a geeky web comic that’s published on Sundays. It’s fun to translate and while I tried to stay true to the orginals, the limited vocabulary of Klingon can be a hinderance.
There aren’t any Klingon words for a nerdgasm (or any kind of -gasm), Thanksgiving or tweeting, so I had to be a little liberal with those. Enjoy and there will be more to come soon.
