A: So willkommen Mozart, Lortzing, Marschner und Wagner - aber Verdi, Puccini, Saint-Saëns Janacek und Mussorgsky, bitte draußen bleiben (Ach du lieber Augustin, alles ist weg weg weg)

I prefer Werdi und Putschinie in the original German.

Gut, Verdi, Puccini, Saint-Saëns, Janacek und Mussorgsky bitte Deutsch lernen und dann wieder anklopfen...

Q: I want to build an app. What do you think?
A: I think you need to discover that you really need something first and then find out whether somebody already made a suitable app to satisfy that need.

Hmm?

And ah...

German is for wimps. Nothing beats the original Klingon:


Fun fact: Marc Okrand originally created Klingon without infinitives and had to add them for the movie "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country." (There actually is a Klingon version of Hamlet.) He also must have a sense of humor, because he chose ghotI' as the Kllingon word for fish.

I see. Is it because I said I was a God, jokingly? Or...? Sorry I’m dense.

I think your title is more easily understood as you talking about praying to a certain god of the pen (just like how, in Chinese religion, there's a god of the bed, a god of doors and gates, gods for cities, and even a god of the toilet).

Therefore, you could say that your god of the pen is one of your penates, Latin for the minor gods worshipped at your house, which works wonderfully as a pun because they both begin with pen-. Iversen then pictures you as praying to the pen god with a liturgy chanting Ō Penātēs...
