Hello all. I'm Evildea your god!
-
and today I'm going to an Esperanto meetup
-
But, unfortunately,
-
it's currently raining here in Sydney
-
and, yes I guess
-
I'll go for a stroll through the rain, dancing.
-
Ah crap, it's wet!
-
Do you want to swim? Oh, f**k! oh shit!
-
Don't touch the cracks ...
-
Don't touch the cracks ...
-
I've finally reached the train station.
-
So I'm now in the train
-
and I'm totally soaked.
-
My pants are soaked
-
my underwear is ... eh not that.
-
But my socks, are totally soaked
-
Because, look at my shoes:
-
They have holes here
-
Ah, shit, I can't ...
-
holes there and there
-
So, I have holes in my shoes
-
and I totally didn't think about that
-
when I chose them
-
and of course
-
I need to stroll through the rain
-
and now my socks are soaked.
-
So, I've just arrived at Redfern
-
and soon once again
-
I need to take a stroll through the rain
-
I don't know why
-
I persist on saying "take a stroll"
-
because really I'm not "taking a stroll"
-
I might be "walking"
-
"taking a walk", "striding" ... but I'm not "taking a stroll."
-
Why is is so wet!
-
Hey! we have a new painting
-
on the Esperanto house
-
and I say "new"
-
because it actually looks very old
-
but the painter decided
-
to make his painting look old
-
Maybe he believes
-
that Esperanto is just
-
a very old thing
-
So the painting needs to look old.
-
Did we pay for this, Dmitry?
-
Hmm ... I don't think so.
-
So he just decided:
-
"Oh, I want to paint a picture here"
-
Awesome! Perhaps he can come to my house!
-
So, as you already know
-
today it's raining heavily outside
-
so, because basically no one has come
-
to today's Esperanto meetup
-
as you can see there's only a few people
-
Firstly we were waiting for two guests
-
I don't know why they're coming ...
-
I think
-
that they're coming to present something but
-
they didn't come
-
maybe they'll come later
-
I guessing I'll just show you things
-
in the Esperanto house.
-
So, perhaps you can hear, probably not,
-
however it's raining outside right now
-
and basically no one came to the meetup.
-
So I've decided
-
to just show you books
-
in the library here
-
because when it's raining
-
Esperanto speakers choose not to be active
-
We're like bats;
-
We don't like to go out.
-
So, now I'll find some books and show you
-
So, the first book
-
which I'll show you
-
it called "London calls"
-
and it's about the history
-
of the London Esperanto Club
-
and maybe I'll just find a mention
-
in this book of Jzknuckles
-
because she's old enough
-
to be in this book, right?
-
and here on the first page is
-
a scrawl in doctors-style handwriting
-
doctors style ... doctors style ...
-
doctors ... doctors style
-
Say that five times!
-
doctors style ... doctors style
-
doctors style ...
-
So, it says:
-
"With many thanks for his work
-
on behalf of Esperanto, Harry Holmes"
-
I wonder if he's
-
the brother of Sherlock Holmes
-
"London, august 1982"
-
So, it's just a signature.
-
and now I want
-
to show you some pages
-
Owww, here: Read. Good?
-
Did you read that? Good? Read it? Good.
-
Hmm, and now I guess
-
I'll read this part here
-
"In July 1887 appeared
-
the Unua Libro (First Book) by Zamenhof
-
under the name "Doctor Esperanto"
-
and only four months later
-
appeared an article in the London paper
-
"Saint James Gazette"
-
about a language called "Internacionolale",
-
an invention of Doctor Esperanto.
-
The editor of the newspaper was
-
W. T. Steed.
-
That was the beginning
-
of his interest in Esperanto
-
whose propagation in Britain
-
he contributed a lot.
-
But before that,
-
Steed was a well-known figure.
-
General Bramwell Goofdes, Fourth swarm-army
-
persuaded him to write articles
-
to share the terrible fate
-
of the young girls ...
-
Blablablabla ...
-
You can read the entire book if you want.
-
Here it is!
-
Look what I just found!
-
I have the Esperanto flag!
-
For the glory of the Esperanto community!
-
I've found a Volapük speaker!
-
And that is all!
