Hat's off to Peter Damian for pointing out this transcript of a BBC interview with Jimbo and to Greg Kohs for pointing out the importance of this document as a visual means of transcribing JimboSpeak :

QUOTE
You know one of the, one of the most important principles er, for an encyclopaedia is neutrality er, this is the idea that er, Wikipedia itself shouldn't take a stand on any controversial issue. Um, our job is not to be a place for political commentary or persuasion um, but basically just to lay out the, the, the landscape for people...


And on and on for several paragraphs. Using this document as a template, it would be possible to successfully transwiki EN:WP into JiMBO:WP :

QUOTE
You know, Cock, Cock and, er, ball torture (um, or like CBT or something, but we don't really make statements like that) is a, er, sexual activity involving torture of the, the male, um genitals. This may involve, we don't take a postion on this but, er, may be, er, directly, um, painful, well, at least that's what they might say, but we don't really know, but, er, activities, such as, um, wax play, genital, er, spanking, squeeze, um, squeezing, ball, ball busting, um, genital flogging, urethral play, er, tickle, tickle torture, or, um, I think that we have a picture of, um, this er, erotic electrostimulation or even, You know, like, um kicking or something.[citation, er, needed]


...how could somebody so incredibly inarticulate be in the business of promoting an encyclopedia, for Pete's sake?

It would not be that difficult for a programmer to that automatically to the entire database ... and then all we need is voice synthesizer to narrate it.

Syntactical redundacy.

He's storing his backup syllables in the sentences themselves.

Genius!
