I wrote a story that I'd thought I'd give a shot translating into Talossan. I figured, while I'm nowhere near being even decent in Talossan, I do know more than probably a lot of citizens, and with the Guizua and L'Oversteier handy, I should have no problem.

I can't even translate the first sentence. This is harder than I thought. (Making up a few phrases for our Cjovani lexicon is easy, actually trying to translate prose is a whole 'nother thing.)

(Anyone more fluent in Talossan want to help? If we win, I'll split the prize money with you!)
 

Well, I also think my attention span is getting weaker the older I get. I'm a huge Planet of the Apes fan, and have been intending to watch the latest one (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) since it first became available on Disney Plus, but I keep putting it off. I just don't have the time or patience to sit thru a regular length movie nowadays. (Is this a sign of mental decline?)

I used to be a hardcore Trekkie. (Ahem, Trekker.) Loved the original series, loved the Next Generation, loved the movies. But then...suddenly there was Deep Space Nine, Voyager...like, maybe a couple of other series I can't even remember the names of. When you are used to waiting long periods between shows, it suddenly seemed like too much at once. I didn't have enough time in my life to follow three Star Trek shows in the same week. I still have yet to see Picard.
The same thing has happened with Star Wars. When the Mandalorian came out, I was excited. A Star Wars tv series! Man, I've waited 40 years for such a thing, and the first season didn't disappoint. But then, suddenly...there's a Ben Kenobi series. Then, the Acolyte, and like two other shows. Who has time to watch so many shows? I don't. I haven't even finished watching the final season of Better Call Saul yet, and I loved that show.
I might get around to Lower Decks someday. This is a far cry from when I was growing up and you had three tv channels and whatever was at the video rental store. There's almost too much content to choose from nowadays. (Damn, do I sound like an old man shouting at clouds or what? Shakes fist angrily at the sky, "There's too much damn Star Wars!")

I'm in. We did play a fantasy hockey game a few years ago, but I'm not even sure who wound up winning it. (I am a hockey fan, but I've honestly not been paying much attention to it the last couple of seasons.)

Vitxalmour Conductour has a 3D printer. Now, I'm not about to rope him into anything until I know more about what we're talking about. (All I'm saying is, he has one that he might be willing to use for Talossan stuff.)

Glad you're back. I'm ready to try another tournament on the archery app.

Congrats, Barclamïu!
(I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but for those of us Zouaves who want to look like Zouaves, I found this fleece hoodie for sale...) (Somebody else can look for voluminous trousers.)

I support the nomination of Glüc

I support the CRL bypass.
