Yeah, they had that on the news too. Gee, you can't tell the convention is coming to town, can you? ;) :D

I hear that Klingons die just the same from a .308 as they do from a Phaser. :D

Yes, but they are tough bastards. You need a good COM shot, two just to be sure.

This is unusual -- considering the fact that it is California, after all? I'm not worried until they start issuing ballots in Klingon... :shock:

IIRC, two shots are necessary as Klingons have a redundant circulatory system (e.g., two hearts).

So what's Klingon for "Mozambique"?

One .75 bolter round should suffice.

Pfft. They've been doing that in Cook County for years!

"Ah, another vote for Qoq'bhaiyit!"

"Yes, Daley, son of Daley is a coward and a knave but that term is too much for even him!"

"No, no, this vote is for the Qoq'bhaiyit in the 15th ward committeeman's race."

"So, another Qoq'bhaiyit completely?"

"Yes. Totally different Qoq'bhaiyit."

Some friends got delayed getting into one of the Comic-Con halls Saturday night waiting for police and medics to clear out. Apparently there was a disagreement over saved seats inside the hall and someone stabbed another in the eyeball with a pen.

Klingons...

You can bet that someone, somewhere is working on making some governmental entity print ballots in Klingon.

We probably shouldn't have said this, because I'll bet now if you Google Ballots in Klingon you are directed here.

I feel sorely tempted to deface such defacements of public signs with a paint gun, but I'd have to buy one, and I'm a bit strapped now.

Multnomah County health department has a Klingon translator on-call for mental health situations. Just in case someone gets hit in the head and comes in only speaking Klingon. They don't get paid unless they work, thankfully, but they DO exist.

Probably something that roughly translates to "All seven chakras, twice"
