Warriors of the Klingon Empire come to drink and sing songs of past glory

Recently there was an article on the web on www.gizmodo.com titled " Man spoke only Klingon to his son for 3 years". His name is D'Armond Speers and apparently as an experiment, he decided to speak only in Klingon to his son during that crucial developmental stage. He stated that " I was interested in the question of whether my son, going through his first language aquisition process, would aquire it like any human language. He was definitly starting to learn it."
Of course then there was the traditional comments of " Let's get a rope and string this guy up." Now whether I agree with Mr Speers or not (I do not), my problem is this..... along with the article is a pic of myself as Bra'Ka' who I portrayed for a couple years before bringing K'Tor back... I realze the whole issue of internet and public domain but it just pisses me off that now my image is linked to it. There is probably nothing that I can do but I am really upset about it.
I just want everyone in the Klingon community to know that I am NOT D'Armond Speers, I do not have a son, I have a grown daughter and 3 grandsons. Fandom is one thing, but I would never teach my child a fictional laguage during the most important phase of their life. This is however my Personal belief...

Qap'la, K'Tor! MajQa!!

QISIN, my great drinking-partner and ally--You will turn a Warrior's head with your speaking of one of the very few Terran cultures to have developed TRUE Warriorship--The SpaHr'TaHnS had to have been a lost Colony of Klingons! They fought and died like they knew death intimately. But Discommodation??? Well, Kishin, now you truly have DaHar strategy amongst your many talents.

(Klingon Battle Song, in Standard for those in Rio Linda)

Brothers of Battle, hear My Call!
Of Quest for Honor--Let us Roar!
To Honor The Warrior Standing Sullied
But Victorious, our K'Tor!

He mightily stood his Ground
Let No Coward have his Image as his own.
He defeated Stupidity, Lies, and Found
With His Klingon Friends, here, he will ever have a home.

Champion Standing, Without Bloodshed.
(Well, One can not have everything.)
But K'Tor, Know this in Your Heart, In Your Head:
We are KLINGONS, ALL-Never Victim, Always KING! ****

(A poem)

There once was an Empty Barrel
Bloodwine, filled it to the brim.
But due to a thirsty Kishin.
Chance of a Full cup now, was thin.

But there was a mighty Warrior,
QlarH chanced to be the name.
He'd thought to bring another Barrel,
So they'd continue their Drinking Game.

Moral of the story--never play Bloodwine-Pong with Kishin--EVER. Qap'la!!
--QlarH sutai-Qorej.

I have won a small victory. I contacted the author of the article on gizmodo and she removed my image without an arguement. However she did inform me that said image is linked to several other publications of the same article. If anyone has seen it elsewhere could you let me know. Thank you all for your support, I am very honored to be a part of this community and I hope that I get the chance to meet one and all someday..... Qa'pla'

QlarH qavan, the passion of your concern for our fellow warrior's reputation is admirable. And I wouldn't want to seem to take his concern lightly.
If the need arises, we will form a Spartan phalanx and overwhelm the idiots who would sully the name of K'TOR.....with our indifference to their noise.

I agree with the worthy warrior that this dishonor done to his image is atrocious and uncalled-for--just think, a Terran puj, wanting his get to actually learn to speak the Civilized tongue, thlinghan Hol?! Really!

In mundane terms--this speaks of lessons learned on what NOT to do...A child is a precious resources, our future literally in this man's hands--no. let's not string him up. the priciple was sound, in teaching a child another language to understand to use as a grownup...but how about Americal Sign language, Spanish, Ojibway, Mandarin Chinese, or even Esperanto? To use one's child as a guinea pig calls not only one's parenting into question, but his sanity as well.

On intellectuall property--to make the mistake of Commander K'Tor's photo once, is understandable' a few times, with gritted teeth, it's done. let's move on. But K'Tor spent time to build a good reputation, not as a geek or a freak in costume, but as a learned Costuming artist with passion for his hobby, shich happens to be Klingon. It is truly a dishonor and disrespect for others to perpetuate the lie that K'Tor is NOT this D'Armond pataQ. To keep smearing an innocent man is not only creul and stupid, but possibly could be acted upon legally if the conditions are right. K'Tor may want to mundanely look into legal counsel if this becomes a hinderance to his hobby. If it harms, it IS a crime, even if a civil action. Good luck, K'Tor, and Qap'la for sticking to your disruptors about this. you didn't start the fight, but like any good klingon warrior, you damn well can FINISH it. Hegh majQa! Die Well!--QlarH sutai-Qorej.

There was a sweet kitty named Lushy
Who shamelessly showed off her tushy!
It was covered with fur
A darn good thing for her-
'Cause the lads like their Caitian puss plushy!!!!

Just shows we've all got pasts, even if they aren't our own--or something like that:-)

Lushy, just own up and be luscious and bare. Ke'ereth put it so beautifully. Let me tell you, too, the girls of the Thirsty Thirty Thirdish Bird of Prey Close Formation Bar Storming Squadron enjoyed those pictures as well!!! Check their nose art....

And don't be thrown off the scent. K'TOR REALLY IS Mr. SPEERS and he is really a Romulan and he maintains five familiies on five different worlds and ....::oh shut up and go to sleep, Kishin!::
Love youse guys! See you in my dreams!

There was a young kitty called Lushy
who was hot and bothered and fussy,
'Bottoms up' had nothing on her
on the Internet
she thought she hadn't a care!!!
One day to her surprise
a naked lushy greeted her eyes,
she screamed 'Oh my gawd'
with mouth touching the floor
the motto to this sorry tale
is don't go posing
for any roving photographer males!!!!!!
