Indeed. Sadly, you probably won't have much luck.
The first part, <Ia! Ia! Nub-Shoggoth!>, is rather questionable.
Presumably, Mr. Pax was attempting to invoke one of the Great Elder Ones,
cosmic horrors such as Yog-Sothoth, Great Cthulhu, or Bill Gates. However,
consultation of Dr. Morgan of Miskatonic University resulted in the
following translation: "Hey! Hey you! Fry me a Shoggoth!" This is indeed
an inadvisable request, as the average Shoggoth is radioactive, toxic, and
low in fiber and protein.
The second part, <Kalisiti>, is probably an attempt at "Kallisti",
which is greek for "To the fairest". The word is taken from a greek myth,
and is used today as the [CENSORED] symbol of [CENSORED], a [CENSORED]
society of freethinkers who [CENSORED] the efforts of [CENSORED].
[CENSORED], of course.
The word "Kalisiti", interestingly enough, translates out as "No wife,
no horse, no mustache" in the tougne of the Dronf Tribe of the Sahara. Go
figure.
