So not only are they the most beautiful, 
intelligent and virtuous people ever, they're 
also superlative conversationalists.

Dude needs a painting. Or a Skype account.

roghvaH HochvaD = the entirety of the population. 
I never use that construction, always picking naQ 
instead in that context, but I don't have a problem with it.

That is a seriously lame excuse. If the 'utlh 
buys it, I shall be disappointed in him.

Ah, that's a better excuse. I would have 
understood it sooner had he said wanI'vam Dun 
rather than ghu'vam Dun. Initially it sounds like 
he's intending to declare to the empire that it 
is ruled on account of 'utlh-dude's sword.

The communications among the management of this 
kingdom is seriously more touchy-feely than in my 
company with is aboriginal female owned.  I think it's very sweet.
