I have one of the fancy electronic label makers, and it apparently had a brainfart and printed a row of strange labels. They alternate between my given name JOHN REHWINKEL and the peculiar word OPCHAKIYAPISITECHAKIYA.

What does it mean? Is this the name of my earth twin and my martian twin? It's a lovely word, similar to Eskimo[1], and it's pronouncible:
OP CHA KIYA PISI TECH A KIYA
OP CHA KIYA PISI TE CHA KIYA

Oddly, the label maker normally can't print alternating labels like that. Also, it wound them all on the pinch roller instead of spitting them out as per normal. Most odd.


Looks like you have been Contacted. You will probably decipher the message in a dream (and not be able to remember it when you wake up). Make sure you let us know what they look like, when you finally meet them!


This should have been read

Op Chaki Yapi site Chakiya

Clearly, Chuck (may I call you Chuck? so less formal), you're meant to be the operator for a small site named chakiya.org. Go and register it thusly.

Or perhaps you're meant to write opcodes for the chakiy API. Y ask Y?

ps -- frankly I find it harder believing your name is "John Rehwinkel".


Interesting..this one...

First let me claim a title as an Elbows resident Russia expert(-not).....

Then it's clear....OPCHAKIYAPISITECHAKIYA is 5 shacks and about 35 Mongols living next to a railroad siding on the BAM railway in Eastern Siberia....

or maybe not!

[1] In my spare time I have been attempting to construct an Eskimo sentence in my basement, such as will be suitable for the season. I have not got it perfected yet, but it is coming along pretty well, and with a coat of paint or two it might pass for the genuine article. So far I have: kaniktshaq moritlkatsio atsuniartoq. When completed, this sentence will proclaim: "Look at all this f-ing snow." At present it means: "Observe the snow. It fornicates." --Cecil Adams
