After laughing for about two months at your work, since I really do like T. S. Eliot and his “Wasteland”, I started working on a ‘translayshun’ of “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock” into LOLspeak. You can see the results under my website link.
Your version is so hilarious that I can hardly read the whole of it at once.
