jackwabbitSo, everyone here knows I'm a bit Wil Wheaton fan and that I read his blog, right?
I also very much enjoy Big Bang Theory, the geeky comedy.
Well... when Wil Wheaton guested on that show, life was complete. The BBT episode in which Wil guest stars is called "The Creepy Candy Corollary," and it's wonderful. Even more wonderful is the things that have come from that episode, like this shirt:
And even more wonderful than this shirt, which immortalizes Sheldon Cooper's Klingon justification of his actions against Wil's character, is a conversation that blossomed on Wil Wheaton's blog after he posted a picture of this shirt.

That is amazing, and I am in awe. Those Klingon language learning cd roms I got when I was 12 years old had me in tears because the Klingon was so appropriately mean.

Dude, I salute you. Seriously. Qapla'!

Actually, this kind of sticks out on general linguistic grounds -- that word has no vowel. You don't have to actually know anything specifically about Klingon, other than that the morphology is more or less conventional, to catch that.
Not to diminish your awesome nerdliness, you understand. It motivated me to check, and there's support for your supposition -- the phrase is one of the examples, and on p. 171 of the 1992 paperback of Okrand's book, it is indeed in a sans-serif font.

Whenever there are disagreements about spelling and pronunciation in Klingon, I just decide that there are different regional dialects.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one...
Just saw it on my RSS feed and had an "Oh... um... that's really cool but, um... Dare I say this?" moment. Nevertheless, cool shirt immortalising a great moment. Qapla', Wil!

I'm going to go die of shame now.
