Reflections From a Murky Pond

Take me down to the purradice city
Where the catnip’s green and the girls are kitties
Take me home (oh, won’t you please take me home)

Yes, Please! While I’m not that inspired by catnip – though I do grow it in my front garden to attract the neighborhood kitties – I’d love it if somehow I could be taken to where the girls are kitties. 😉

Nekomusume are Nekogami

PRO TIP: Don’t be that Weeb! Or, if you prefer, don’t be a Baka Minikui Gaijin! Treat those Cat Daughters (Nekomusume) like the Cat Goddesses (Nekogami) that they are. You’ll go farther that way and won’t be quite so much of a painful-to-witness embarrassment.

NOTE: The much more common term would be simply Baka Gaijin (Stupid/foolish [non-Asian] Foreigner). I chose to make the point stronger by adding Minikui (ugly in the sense of being painful to see). It also is a riff on the longstanding “Ugly American” stereotype.

Also, just as a personal note on language, idiom, and the subtle shadings of meaning and expectation, I prefer Nekomusume (Cat Daughters) over the equally or more common term, Nekomimi (Cat Ears). Both, however, are in very common use when describing Cat Girls.

Sometimes humor is recursive. On that note and in the hope that people will find this as funny as I did, here’s a pie chart of what pie charts are called around the world. 😆 Yeah, a lot if the world isn’t as into pie as we are.

A real issue with those Blacks who identify as “African-American” is the punctuation involved. The hyphen is wrong and should be used. The grammatical/logical symbol that should be separating “African” from “American” is ↮ the symbol for contradiction or an XOR value choice. This is especially true because the etymological root of “contradiction” is the Latin contradico, “speak against.”

The sad fact of it is that they’re either Black/African or they’re American. At best, and that best is vanishingly rare, it’s a sliding scale between being part of their people or part ours. They can’t be both because Blacks – those acknowledged by their own people as being Black Enough and not an American, e.g., those derided as being Oreos and/or Uncle Toms/ Aunt Jemimas – hate America and her people. And, you can’t be a true member of a people and/or nation while holding it to be utterly evil, loathsome, and the existential enemy of “your people.”

Personally, I’d say that it’s quite obvious that die Kellnerinnen (Waitresses) of the Biergärten (Beer Gardens, i.e., bars) are not evidence, but proof, that God wants us to be happy … and wants us to propagate. 😉

In Vino Veritas.
In Cervisiam Robur
In Sanguis Fidem.

Three fluids and three separate traits that they bear and provide. In wine there is truth; in beer there is strength; and in blood there is fidelity.

For myself, I say that the third, blood, and the fidelity it brings is the most important of the three. Any truth can be silenced and any strength overcome by treachery. Hence, the fidelity of blood, either that shared or that shed together is greatest.
