page 22 has a funny conv. about pronunciations.
Fredo – just say ‘sausage it’ as if you had a lithp :o)
Rumplesink: ‘Forget Satyajit, and Man. X is where it’s at in the film realm.’ Well, I think we just topped Drew’s friend’s joke. :)
DuShane: About Dada, you have any particular favorites from that time?
Yes I’m caught up! Where’s my medal?
Drew: It’s probaby gonna go to Berjuan if he actually reads all of the 200-300 something pages he’s got to get through. ;)
‘No, Americans don’t understand world cinema.’
Three guesses as to who said this. :)
Ma dada is ma favs. (Get it?)
Seriously, though… I’ve always enjoyed the mass of information present in most of Hannah Höch’s work.
Cut with the Kitchen Knife Dada through the Last Weimar Beer Belly Cultural Epoch of Germany
Bourgeois Wedding Couple – Quarrel
Shit! S. made me forget what I was going to say.
Here´s your medal, Drew:
Thank you Apursansar. You care.
"‘No, Americans don’t understand world cinema.’

Ehrenstein. Where’s my medal?
DuShane: Apursansar is handing them out. ;)
I remember seeing that first piece in an art textbook I thought it was interesting. Just so I haven’t misunderstood it at all, Dada is basically just fun right? Or rather it’s focus is to challenge perceptions of is art?
The following are real answers to history and religious school tests from 6th graders:
Ancient Egypt was old. It was inhabited by gypsies and mummies who all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.
Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandos. He died before he ever reached Canada but the commandos made it.
Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines. He was a actual hysterical figure as well as being in the bible. It sounds like he was sort of busy too.
The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn’t have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a young female moth.
Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock which is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.
In the first Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits, and threw the java. The games were messier then than they show on TV now.
Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out “Same to you, Brutus.”
Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw for reasons I don’t really understand. The English and French still have problems.
Queen Elizabeth was the “Virgin Queen,” As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted “hurrah!” and that was the end of the fighting for a long while.
It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood.
Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented Cigarettes and started smoking.
Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper which was very dangerous to all his men.
The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter.
Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He Wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Since then no one ever found it.
Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress.
Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backward and also declared, “A horse divided against itself cannot stand.” He was a naturalist for sure. Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.
Abraham Lincoln became America’s greatest Precedent. Lincoln’s mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show.They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth’s career.
Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large.
Bethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf that he wrote loud music and became the father of rock and roll. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.
The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up.
Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbits but I don’t know why.
Charles Darwin was a naturalist. He wrote the Organ of the Species. It was very long people got upset about it and had trials to see if it was really true. He sort of said God’s days were not just 24 hours but without watches who knew anyhow? I don’t get it.
Madman Curie discovered radio. She was the first woman to do what she did. Other women have become scientists since her but they didn’t get to find radios because they were already taken.
Karl Marx was one of the Marx Brothers. The other three were in the movies. Karl made speeches and started revolutions. Someone in the family had to have a job, I guess.
Here ya go, Gramps:
It’s not just fun. it’s a challenging of the political, social, and artistic norms prevalent of the times. I think most art movements would classify themselves as this.
What the fuck is that? I’m a horses ass? I’m never answering a question anyone asks ever again.
“Karl Marx was one of the Marx Brothers. The other three were in the movies.”
Drew: BRAVO! :)
Amazing, right?
DuShane: I was just under the impression that Dadaists were also focused on being playful with art.
Oh c’mon, this is StL! you don’t expect to get a serious medal, do ya? ;)
Drew: Amazingly absurd [and that’s a good thing] (thumbs up)
Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper which was very dangerous to all his men.
That’s my favorite one. Circumcised, circumnavigated, what’s the difference? :)
Ok so I definitely disappeared after a 3 day debut.
But after reading page 998 (formerly 1000), I am sad I missed a day.
This place is the coolest. OH AND I am a female, therefore I am welcome. Nice rule. :)
Drew: Oh you’ll go far indeed. ;)
Hey Cecelia!
I’m surprised you didn’t go through withdrawals in your absence.
Like today at school, I told myself I wasn’t going to catch up on what I missed, and I wasn’t going to even go on the Auteurs for two days. This would allow me to get my homework done.
Ten minutes later I logged on on my phone. :P
Yeah I’ve been doing schoolwork, and film has gone by the wayside…which sucks because I really, really don’t care about the cycles of earth.
WOAH WOAH WOAH.
Guys, I have never posted a list. I need to do that ay-sap.
Gimme a sec.
But now I really do have to do schoolwork, so goodbye! I will be back later.
Cecelia: Just take your time, no need to rush it. :)
Yeah, I might not be Auteurs much this evening. Got some stuff I should write for English and maybe another class as well as the season premiere of House is on tonight. :)
Berjuan
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I leave for a few days and you go from page 700 to 1007… without me! GLUGHK!~!
