As most of you know, I'm a science fiction writer. As you,
might suspect, many of my friends are also science fiction
writers. One such friend is Jay Lake.
Jay has also been my editor and publisher. And I have
been Jay's editor and publisher. And we're *still* friends!
Jay has also been battling cancer. He's been through
multiple rounds of chemo and other therapies, as well as
having bits of diseased organs resected. Let's just sum it
all up with the understatement of calling it "very icky."
At this point, he's pretty much out of options. Almost.
There's a long shot that the doctors can perform a
gene-sequencing of his newest tumor, and compare the
results to a gene-sequencing of healthy cells. Once they
have moreclosely identifying the anomalous code, there
may be a treatment for it. Or maybe not.
This kind of science is not cheap, and some of of Jay's
more famous friends have put together a fundraiser on
his behalf. As the incoming donations reach the different
fundraiser levels, various "acts of whimsy" are becoming
available.
While I am not famous, I'm hoping that a contribution of
whimsy on my part might help us to attract support from
the Klingon fan population. And so for my "act of whimsy"
I have suggested I would provide "Five Klingon Pick-Up
Lines Overheard in a Federation Bar."
This is where I need YOUR HELP!
I can only think of one particularly good Klingon pick-up
line: "Ridged for her pleasure," and I can think of more
than a couple ways to render that in Klingon.
So I'm turning to this list, to help me to help my friend.
Please use this thread to suggest clever, smarmy, and
even mildly offensive pick-up lines which a) can be
translated into Klingon, and b) have a clear, Klingon
slant to them.
Thank you,
Lawrence
P.S. If you want to see what's been done so far on the
fundraising front, here's the link:
