@f00l its like a haiku but not at all
@legendornothing
life is tragedy
@f00l
The problem is though, tragedy is fun.
According to that, life=fun, although plenty of people believe life!=fun.
Although to quote Charlie Chaplin:
“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot. To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!”
@TickledLizard
or take someone else’s pain, and play with it, as i heard some comic say, somewhere.
(not the comic quoted below)
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them—Ding-dong, bell.
from personal experience, i would commit that life is not necessarily fun - and that plenty of circumstances exists in which life is almost certainly not to be perceived as fun by almost everyone - in fact we might mostly be incapable of it.
i am no cultural historian. my perceptions, as based on my reading and my relatives, lead me to believe that the perception of a strong correlation on a daily basis between “life” and “fun” is, for most social groups, a distinctly postwar (WWII) Western economic boom invention that has since gone global. before that, people in decent or tolerable circumstance often had fair shares of fun - they also understood quite well that huge segments of life would not be fun, at all - and the common social character types included far less playfulness.
i fear our v tough ancestors would think of us as very talented and silly children, quite unprepared for what may come.
even childhood fun may have been quite rare for many children, historically - depending on culture, economic circumstance, and family orientation. children were often thought of as being “little adults” and were often subject to the same domination, discipline, and abuse - if not more of that, since they were often perceived as having no right to their own decisions or feelings.
i wonder what the first classic literary expression is of what we now think of as normal perogatives of childhood:
to play, to adventure, to explore, to tease;
surely that literature starts before Twain?
“Now, we’ll start this band of robbers and call it Tom Sawyer’s Gang. Everybody that wants to join has got to take an oath, and write his name in blood.”

@narfcake I live about 30 minutes from Ojai, and I don’t typically think of beautiful scenery when I think of it. This looks really nice.
@narfcake this looks really appealing
@conandlibrarian It’s always possible that this was from older days too, although Ojai is pretty strict on keeping things quaint.
For comparison …

@legendornothing
what parts of your body does OHAI like to lick?
i have a male cat that likes to lick human skin.
@Yoda_Daenerys her name is Remy (aka bon bon) and she particularly likes to lick feet and hands, and likes to chew on warm parts of the body
@legendornothing
carnivorous rabbit?
@f00l with big, sharp teeth?
@legendornothing @f00l @compunaut White bunny? Likes to chew?

@narfcake I was thinking along the lines of
Killer Rabbit
But we’re splitting hares
@compunaut Indeed, the design was based on MPatHG.
@narfcake no she licks me when i nap, and also likes to chew fingers and feet when left dangling (off chairs, sofas, etc)
You could give the bunny to Mrs McGreggor to put into a pie.
@cranky1950 AHHHHH NO
