This is why caffeine overload is a BAD thing

[slipjig3]

I've just decided that I want to learn how to say, "I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan," in as many languages as possible.

I am now debating whether to beg for translations, or put this out of my head as quickly as possible. And yes, rafaela, I can hear you glaring at the back of my head. Shush.

Have I told you lately how much I love you?

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

Just learn it in Esperanto, and you're covered! ;)

I bet if I work through the People I Know tree, I could get you that translation in Tolkien's Elves' Sindarin. (I'm on a small mailing list that includes an expert in that subject.)

Which would probably be a strong contender for "geekiest thing EVER."

But not Quenya?!

... and you call [your friends] nerds! ;)

[spoothbrush.livejournal.com]

Oh, that too.

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if I should hate you or myself right now for knowing what Quenya is.

"You have not experienced this phrase, until you have learned it in the original Klingon,"

*snort*

Klingon was the first thing I thought of -- I just don't know Klingon, myself.

I'm rusty on it as well, but it looks right to me!

Je suis un membre du sénat impérial sur une mission diplomatique à Alderaan.

I can probably translate it into Swahili if you're so inclined.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Ooo, could you, please?

[chorus-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

bwuh?

I want some of whatever it is you've been having.

I could get my husband (when he comes back from business trip) to translate it into Hindi and Marathi for ya!

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Oh, please do! (I've bumped the project to here.)

Dear, you continue to rule all known universes. Thank you!

Re: Direct from a German I know....

[rubian77.livejournal.com]

Thanks...but if I really did rule all known universes, I'd have it for you in Latin, Greek, Esperanto, Klingon, and Swahili.

I'm just connected.

Hmm...gimme a minute, I might be able to ask my half-sister if her Greek husband could get me that one. Providing I can find her email address and she actually replies.
