The kid may have spoken gibberish (though Adam, Jason, and Ryan are
more than happy to "nuk nesh" you without warning) but the adult had
to have been speaking Klingon. It sounded like it and they'd suffer
immense geek backlash if it weren't halfway plausible. Decent Klingon
and Lacey Chabert would definitely suck in the Geek crowd - even those
sans kids.
