ok, I think I get the joke but I still can't work out what the new type letters stand for. Anyone care to fill me in?

EDIT: Well, that wasn't my theory at all. No wonder I had so much trouble getting the letters to match up to anything plausible!

By posting this I feel a little bit like I'm ruining the joke for everyone else, but what the hell. Don't decipher if you're sensitive to that sort of thing. Do decipher if you're not on speaking terms with pop culture, unless the bare invocation of it will set your teeth on edge for weeks or something.

I love how rot13 makes all that sound like something you would say to summon Cthulhu.

But I'm sure that's just a coincidence...

That explains Yvain's comment. Also, I wish you saved it for Apr 1.

Darn, I didn't even think of that. But I'm probably not patient enough anyway.

I had felt pretty confident that you'd be wrong in your guess, since matching up the letters is easy if one has actually figured it out. But either way, may I ask what your (wrong) theory was? ROT13 it, if you want.

I'm glad that I asked though, because the correct answer isn't even close to anything I usually think about.

Came across this searching LW for stuff on myers brings, took me half way through the comment thread to work it out, even knowing the material being referenced.
