As a full-blown sentence, sure. I was going for a truncated, e-mail style.

The context was:
...
- my name in katakana: Barii Gashiiya (or some such)
- (you think you've got it bad)  moi: "Dagurasu Kooraa".
...

I don't have a problem juxtaposing two nouns in mega-colloquial Japanese:

Ano hito (wa), sukebe~~~!  He's a perv!!

This is the realm of phone messages, headlines, telegrams, and street
speech. Is the English, "You mutha!", a grammatically complete utterance?
