Opening song is a nanban fave.. Jasmine Flower reminds one of soviet themes, everything in the vid is in fact quite soviet vorland culture? (including the nonrussian idioms, lionizing the (dubbie headed?) aquiline), just need to redraw the eyes/skin/apparel, insert appropriate song (Nanbans perhaps otoh prefer dogs think poodles, faux sansouci)

Its standard mandarin, but spoken not by a mandarin (nonrhotic, but also not taiwanese/shanghainese elite, ie most likely nanban, exiled from the mainland south coast, macao is a good port of call)

id=41670593 <— alephnerd, you can imagine soviet folkways imported via the KR

Anime studio is in HK, but signage in the anime is inconsistent. ( there was one Taichung ad?))

p=… refers to Aaronson’s blog.




Given that one of the musical groups involved has famously sung about St. Pete[rsburg] but calls themselves by a prior name, the cultural resonance shouldn't surprise. (and I think I might recall an aquiline metaphor for those who got to Artek via swotting?)

Beyond eyes/skin/apparel, there are tattoos for the louche, which parallel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wnQ3Ow02yQ ?

Dogs as in the Venetian canine of St. Mark's?

我有心采一朵戴,又 Один раз в год сады цветут


Venece in macao, piazza san marco is the best known one, right

I see. Fox and lion signify opposing virtues for me, and vices for thee, therefore designori should be vicinal/virtuous (wrt Pareto optimality)

Scrap that, everything is soviet save the attire, the lone vixen+cub mere pirates serving the soviet navy (note that HQ may well be refurbished Hotel Class underwater, ideal for refining cocaine, antagonists referencing to the americanized black widows, K-19 “Hiroshima”


1537 for me is "the jewel at the heart" and only has 186? (ultimate by PSR)

If we observe two different Aaronsons, there must be some phase interference; had you meant to refer to anything of the sort with intertidal angling? (as smugglers well know, high tide erases footprints left at low, so finding the source of any such would presumably be difficult...) On the other hand, there's also the post-Dead jam band, EDIT: ...as well as other (specific!) sources of irrationality.

Yes, fox and lion as vices fit for Cicero: he is a clueless[0] middle poster boy (and remained so for thousands of years); if M Antonius (whose mother's remarriage allowed him to see psychopaths at work among not only the low but also the high) had been the open-letter-writing type, his advice probably would have agreed with the Florentine that they were the cardinal (for flatlanders anyway; bear with me here on the dimensionality[2]) virtues.

Personally, I enjoy fraud and force when they're bookended by handshakes; if we think of society as an MMO, could there be any way to structure it so that Killers can enjoy pitting themselves against each other, but without impacting[1] involuntary third parties?

[0] although if I recall https://www.talmud.de/tlmd/tanach/megillat-ruth/#1_Kapitel , it shares Ciceronian concern both for foreigners and for seemly ways to express "uncovering feet".

[1] when Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar places his wife and daughters with the oratores, is he explicitly removing them from the bellatores Killer world and placing them in an Achiever enclave?

EDIT[2]: are designori k-vicinal for k = ⌊d⁄2⌋?


OK, this is how you know I'm not just pretending to have grown up in the Old Country. Between a steady diet of Itchy & Scratchy during my formative years and a national sport which consists of violence punctuated by committee meetings, I had fixated so much on the floral song conceits that I'd completely spaced on all the ultra violence.

Let's see if there are any US Top 100's (1955-1992) in which lyrics are ambiguous between human and botanic...

1961 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT-tYh3OSUQ "san antonio rose"

1962 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdGphk-XTh8 "rambling rose"

1973 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9bJJNUdXEs "wildflower"

1980 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Het6ww147Es "the rose"

OK, that's more than I'd thought, but considering those 4 are out of ~3'300 titles, I'm pretty confident there'd be (relatively speaking? or even absolutely?) far more eastern entries, and maybe far more even if we limited them to the format of "${COLOR} ${FLOWER}".
