something i find fascinating in this scene is in a sense how fukumoto allows tonegawa to like. for the first time since he first appeared to truly have some semblance of honor. and its at the yakidogeza machine. something to be said here particularly wrt teiai as a corporation and the employees (even someone far up enough on the chain as tonegawa) relationship to the “common trash” vs their relationship to hyodo but id have to think on it a little more
back in my day there weren’t all these people calling themselves autistic
people back in their day:
[description: a Mythbusters clip
Narrator: Unfortunately, there’s an issue with one of the hosts.
Jamie Hyneman: Apparently, I’m supposed to express a bunch of emotions. Happy. Unfortunately, what you see is what you get. Sad. I mean, I can distort my face in some kind of mimicry of what I understand is that emotion. Confused. That’s about the best I can do. Afraid.
Narrator: Jamie clearly needs to upgrade his human emotion firmware.]
I suspect they confused him with Martin Luther King
Oh no
I mean, I get mixing them up based on names alone, but I’m concerned about the people who think Martin Luther King Jr. routinely wrote with a quill or dressed like a Renaissance man.
At that point it’s your own damn fault for making that kind of mistake
but why is martin luther the fastest sold playmobil figurine
Colophon: a statement at the end of a book containing the scribe or owner’s name, date of completion, or bitching about how hard it is to write a book in the dark ages
Oh, my hand
The parchment is very hairy
Thank God it will soon be dark
St. Patrick of Armagh, deliver me from writing
Now I’ve written the whole thing; for Christ’s sake give me a drink
Oh d fuckin abbot
Massive hangover
Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job
Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night
If someone else would like such a handsome book, come and look me up in Paris, across from the Notre Dame cathedral
I shall remember, O Christ, that I am writing of Thee, because I am wrecked today
Do not reproach me concerning the letters, the ink is bad and the parchment scanty and the day is dark
11 golden letters, 8 shilling each; 700 letters with double shafts, 7 shilling for each hundred; and 35 quires of text, each 16 leaves, at 3 shilling each. For such an amount I won’t write again
Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Order; very long, very verbose; and very tedious for the scribe; thank God, thank God, and again thank God
If anyone take away this book, let him die the death, let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen
what does oh d fuckin abbot even MEAN
an abbot is the head of a monastery so it just means “fuck my boss” basically, an abbreviation of “O damned fuckin Abbot”. this is what it looks like:
Brasenose College MS 7, f.62v
very important, as is to my knowledge first attested instance of word ‘fuck.’ (it’s older, it’s just usually censored in some way)
