Whew!! This sample was *really* tough to translate. I mean, Giwer
doesn’t make sense, but he’s *really* surpassed his previous record at writing
gibberish. Anyway, here is a rough draft:
} It is this sort of thing
The phrase “this sort of thing” is usually associated with objects
described as `milicious’ – i.e. mildewey and delicious. In fact, some linguists
speculate that `mildewey’ the true meaning of `milicious’, the `delicious’
part being redundant, though still noted in proto-Giwerundean. Thus, the
sentence fragment reads:
: It is
} that belongs reposted
In giwerundean scholarship there is some debate as to whether
`reposted’ means “shoved up my arse” or “hopping on one leg”. The use here is
clear from context:
: It is that belongs shoved up my arse
}ot anthropology conferences
“ot” – on display at.
: It is that belongs shoved up my arse on display at
:anthropology conferences
}to show the total of
“to show the total of” – to show that Matt Giwer is a sad troll who
cannot help being refuted by what
: It is that belongs shoved up my arse on display at
:anthropology conferences to show that Matt Giwer is a sad troll who
:cannot help being refuted by what
}what holohuggers
“Holohuggers” – a derogatory name for reasonable people.
: It is that belongs shoved up my arse on display at
:anthropology conferences to show that Matt Giwer is a sad troll who
:cannot help being refuted by what reasonable people
}have to offer.
This is more subtle than it may appear – in the context it implies
evidence.
Thus the full translation reads:
: It is that belongs shoved up my arse on display at
:anthropology conferences to show that Matt Giwer is a sad troll who
:cannot help being refuted by what reasonable people have to offer, that is,
:evidence.
The exact nature of the `milicious object’ is uncertain – it may be
a gym sock (thanks to Joel Rosenberg for pointing out this possibility) or
it may even be Giwer’s head.
Why a sock, Giwer’s head or any other object shoved up Giwer’s arse
at an anthropology conference should show he is a sad troll who cannot help
being refuted is left to the reader’s imagination. Then again, this *is* a
first draft.
