Vance certainly didn't offer any evidence for his assertions, according to TFA.

I'm pretty sure Tarantino (sharing the culture in which I was steeped) meant to be confrontational, but probably the rest of the audience, being blissfully unaware of things "everyone knows" you're not supposed to actually say, thought expressive more than transgressive.

FWIW it was "Hateful 8" (2015), so I don't think the old country has shifted out from under me — unless it's either all been in the last decade, or younger audiences there are also not nervously laughing? Guess I'll have to make some inquiries...

Yeah, the scaling is very unfortunate; maybe if AI puts everyone out of work we'll have enough teachers? (that's a joke: my understanding is that there's a knee at a 1:12 ratio that may not be as good as an Oxbridge 1:2 but certainly would've improved upon the 1:30+ classrooms of my youth)

Were you also fortunate enough to have Alisa Seleznyova in your classes, or was that part of general ed? Where I went to school, I had to rely on MAD magazine for propanal instruction! (subscription thankfully provided by the same parents who'd ensured my basic literacy before entrusting me to K-12)

Maybe, or maybe ICE-as-ding-wie-scheint (& Donroe?) is just a sign that the descendants of Operation Condor supporters have started preparing to act domestically as well as in the near abroad?

I wasn't sure if Stefan-chan had found the no-longer-heim-weh too painful, or if he'd been suddenly confronted somehow with BR not necessarily being as new-world as it had appeared when he was fresh-off-the-boat, so I'm glad Mann went with the former interpretation. (and, for people who were raised on greek and latin examples, trolling from beyond the EXIT would've been nothing unusual?)

Oh, that national anthem; I'd been expecting a rousing choral rendition of "Ya na perekure; idi na khuy"

Maybe Mr. Bragg just holds that anyone who believes in checking the sound for a gent, must surely be embedded deep in the establishment?

> (he had big ensembles)

Just tangentially, I wonder to what degree big ensembles help/hurt with getting touring visas? For instance, it's my understanding that the Red Army Choir didn't have much trouble getting US visas, but Billy Bragg did.

Ah trolling gone right (at least as long as I'm an HN orator instead of laborator?)

I'd originally heard it as "M— Ä— Heu?", which sounds even less like the source language, but invites the pedantically accurate reply that no one mows hay: one mows grass.

"Beg to report, sir," said Schweik innocently, "I can't be called upon to zombie properly to-day, as they were all out of B R A I N S in the K.u.K. canteen this morning."

(It's somewhat interesting reading a heavily bowdlerised translation of Hasek after having read Zweig; for instance, I know enough about the sorts of young women who provided —for a modest fee— photos to their fans to make an educated guess as to the suitability of Lt Lukash' album for mixed company)
