"Hey, like, dude, if there was this bitch, right, and she was such a bitch she had shitloads of money but she didn't do anything with it, and, like, some dude wasted her and gave the money to people who, like, didn't have any money, d'you think that'd be cool?"

"Yeah, I say waste the ho."

It was my invention, but the thread was provoked by a translation of Crime and Punishment which has one of the characters say "What's up?" Actually, I don't object much to that particular example (considering that some of the characters are, like, young n'shit), but like dude, we gotta show respec to da classics, y'no.

Somewhere I have comic book version of "Crime and Punishment." My deepest disappointment in it is that it lacks big "Batman"-like verbs coming at me during crucial action. You know, verbs like...

SLASH!!!!
AX!!!!!
BROOD!!!!
PONDER!!!!

I read a great comic-book, detective-story version of The Wasteland. If I recall correctly, the opening line was "The name's Marlowe. Chris Marlowe."
