Gizoogle
As you can see, it's been awhile since I've updated this blog, but I plan to start blogging on here a bit more.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you peeps know about Gizoogle, which will translate any text or URL into straight-up gangsta jive.
For example take the understated simplicity of Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken in its original form:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
NOW, let's Gizoogle this mofo and see what we get...
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel bizzle
And be one drug deala long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in tha undergrowth;
Tizzle tizzy tha otha, as J-to-tha-izzust as fair,
And messin' perhaps tha gangsta claim,
Coz it was grassy n wanted wear;
Though as fo` thiznat tha steppin' there
Had worn them really `bout tha same,
And both that straight trippin' equally lay
In leaves no stizzay had trodden bliznack.
Oh, I kizzay tha F-to-tha-izzirst fo` anotha day!
Yet trippin' how way leads on ta way,
I doubted if I should ever come bizzy.
I shall be ridin' this wit a sizzay
Somewhere ages n ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, n I—
I took tha one less traveled by,
And T-H-to-tha-izzat has made all tha difference.
See what I mean, I mean mizzie?
