I believe he organized his own set of Year Games at his Interstellar 
Language School and was, IIRC, the first to come up with the obvious 
translation {DIS Qujmey}.

The phrase "Year Games" originated in John Ford's novel "The Final 
Reflection", and has since spread to Klingon fandom in general.  See 
<http://www.yeargames.com/>http://www.yeargames.com for more information 
and pictures about one version of these Games, now in it's 12th year.
