batlh choja', Matthew Whiteacre quv:
A backlog, SuvwI'pu' quv, is a terrible thing to have. Thence the following,
a mere five weeks late:
=*QISmaS* wa'Hu' ram 'oH
qaS *QISmaS* wa'Hu' ram
(even if we allowed 'oH, it would be 'oH *QISmaS* wa'Hu' ram'e')
=juHDaq naQ vIHbe'bej Ha'DIbaH Hoch

Que?

(You be the nightgown, I'll be the pyjamas?!)

=mInDu'wIj SIv nargh nuq
=tepqengwI'Hom chorgh Qa' je 'oH
nargh tepqengwI'Hom chorgh Qa' je
(I think repeating the verb is safer than our existential "it is", especially
as "it" is several things.)

Mpf. nom isn't a verb; I think:
Qa'Daj nom vIH law' chalHa'DIbaH'a' nom vIH puS
=pongmeychaj jach

=qoreQ QaS je Qel je Qugh je
Oh Lord! *That*'s how you solved this issue! I can translate the first
alleged 'verse' of Rudolph the RedNosed 'er now. Only you have it as Qa'.
Which I've assumed is a crow. Oh well, here's hoping noone will notice the
difference ;)
