brains & beans


Our Quantal Strife catalogue lauch was really fun last night. Thanks to everyone who came! I have a backlog of tasks piled up now, included a bunch of things for the blog. There will be some more content up here soon, I promise. (I moderated a panel on art and science at the Performance Creation Canada Conference - must report!) In the meantime, brains and beans.

Which is better to whack with a grass-hockey club, brains or beans?
- M.Jean 2-08-2006 8:47 pm


"Performance Creation Canada" is a bad bad title.
AND
it's field hockey not grass-hockey. (I think they still call them sticks too, not clubs)
All that aside ... beans. Brains are icky.

Once I was asked by an environmental movement to make a big banner that said, "Let's Green Not Pave Canada." I argued long and hard for a couple of comma insertions.

Picky, picky, picky, Joester. I expected you to tell me that thing is a table leg.

Beans are icky too, if they're out of the can.

Put a handle on that brain, and let's go curling!

M.jean,
"thing is a table leg"? I No Tell You Thing be Table Leg! Thing many thing! Table leg just one thing thing might be. Thing be other table leg, too! and other one!
Thing (object) be everything but person (subject). Call person thing make Hulk mad! Make profesor of philosophy mad too! "Why you say person thing (object)" mad professor say! Me stupid confused art student say maybe sometimes person be thing if other than a person be subject. Hieddeger prof not interested in other than person not being thing.
(in a nutshell)

oh-oh. How's school going, Joester?

Hey, LM, run that last comment of Joester's through babelfish for us, will you?
- M.Jean 2-10-2006 5:35 pm


It seemed appropriate to take it to German

M.jean, "Sache ist ein Tabelle Bein"? I kein erklären Sie Ihnen, daß Sache Tabelle Bein ist! Viel Sache Sache! Tabelle Bein gerade eine Sachesache konnte sein. Sache ist anderes Tabelle Bein, auch! und anderes! Sache (Gegenstand) ist alles aber Person (Thema). Anrufpersonsache bilden Schiffsrumpf wütend! Bilden Sie profesor von der Philosophie wütend auch! "warum Sie wütendes Professorsagen der Personsache (Gegenstand)" sagen! Ich dummer konfuser Kunststudent sage, daß möglicherweise manchmal Person Sache wenn anders als eine Person ist Thema ist. Hieddeger Prof an interessiert nicht anders als die Person, die nicht Sache ist. (in einer Nußschale)

And then translate back to English

M.jean, "thing is table a leg"? I do not explain you to you that thing is table leg! Much thing thing! Table leg a straight thing thing could be. Thing is other table leg, also! and other one! Thing (article) is everything however person (topic). Call person thing form hull furiously! Form profesor from philosophy furiously also! "why you furious professor legends of the person thing (article)" say! I stupid konfuser art student legend that person thing is if different than a person topic possibly sometimes is. Hieddeger Prof does not interest on differently than the person, who is not thing (in a nutshell)

This definitely makes more sense. (is it supposed to be shrieked?)

"Call person thing from hull furiously." And they say our two cultures live in harmony.

Hey, sorry, American buddies! Hull is a city in Quebec, across the river from Ottawa, the nation's capital, which is in (largely English-speaking) Ontario.
- M.Jean 2-10-2006 10:50 pm


I was looking for the misspelling of hell or hulk in joester's post.

- tom moody 2-10-2006 10:57 pm


and Ottawa is where people from Hull go when they've had too much fun (old one, sorry)

LM's adroit manipulation of Babelfish evokes the last words of Dutch Schultz.
- Von Barque (guest) 2-11-2006 4:53 am


So are you trying to say that In het Nederlands:

De handige manipulatie van LM van Babelfish roept de laatste woorden van Nederlandse Schultz op?

No?

Shit Fuck Damn.
