Rain Makes Everything Fun | Pluvo Amuzigas Ĉion

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    Hello all. I'm Evildea your god!
  • 0:03 - 0:06
    and today I'm going to an Esperanto meetup
  • 0:06 - 0:09
    But, unfortunately,
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    it's currently raining here in Sydney
  • 0:12 - 0:15
    and, yes I guess
  • 0:15 - 0:20
    I'll go for a stroll through the rain, dancing.
  • 0:20 - 0:24
    Ah crap, it's wet!
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    Do you want to swim? Oh, f**k! oh shit!
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    Don't touch the cracks ...
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    Don't touch the cracks ...
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    I've finally reached the train station.
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    So I'm now in the train
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    and I'm totally soaked.
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    My pants are soaked
  • 0:49 - 0:53
    my underwear is ... eh not that.
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    But my socks, are totally soaked
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    Because, look at my shoes:
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    They have holes here
  • 1:00 - 1:01
    Ah, shit, I can't ...
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    holes there and there
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    So, I have holes in my shoes
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    and I totally didn't think about that
  • 1:10 - 1:11
    when I chose them
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    and of course
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    I need to stroll through the rain
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    and now my socks are soaked.
  • 1:17 - 1:19
    So, I've just arrived at Redfern
  • 1:19 - 1:20
    and soon once again
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    I need to take a stroll through the rain
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    I don't know why
  • 1:24 - 1:25
    I persist on saying "take a stroll"
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    because really I'm not "taking a stroll"
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    I might be "walking"
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    "taking a walk", "striding" ... but I'm not "taking a stroll."
  • 1:31 - 1:35
    Why is is so wet!
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    Hey! we have a new painting
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    on the Esperanto house
  • 1:39 - 1:40
    and I say "new"
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    because it actually looks very old
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    but the painter decided
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    to make his painting look old
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    Maybe he believes
  • 1:50 - 1:51
    that Esperanto is just
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    a very old thing
  • 1:53 - 1:56
    So the painting needs to look old.
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    Did we pay for this, Dmitry?
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    Hmm ... I don't think so.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    So he just decided:
  • 2:02 - 2:06
    "Oh, I want to paint a picture here"
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    Awesome! Perhaps he can come to my house!
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    So, as you already know
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    today it's raining heavily outside
  • 2:14 - 2:16
    so, because basically no one has come
  • 2:16 - 2:18
    to today's Esperanto meetup
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    as you can see there's only a few people
  • 2:20 - 2:24
    Firstly we were waiting for two guests
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    I don't know why they're coming ...
  • 2:26 - 2:27
    I think
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    that they're coming to present something but
  • 2:29 - 2:30
    they didn't come
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    maybe they'll come later
  • 2:32 - 2:35
    I guessing I'll just show you things
  • 2:35 - 2:37
    in the Esperanto house.
  • 2:37 - 2:40
    So, perhaps you can hear, probably not,
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    however it's raining outside right now
  • 2:43 - 2:45
    and basically no one came to the meetup.
  • 2:45 - 2:46
    So I've decided
  • 2:46 - 2:48
    to just show you books
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    in the library here
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    because when it's raining
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    Esperanto speakers choose not to be active
  • 2:55 - 2:57
    We're like bats;
  • 2:57 - 2:59
    We don't like to go out.
  • 2:59 - 3:01
    So, now I'll find some books and show you
  • 3:02 - 3:03
    So, the first book
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    which I'll show you
  • 3:05 - 3:07
    it called "London calls"
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    and it's about the history
  • 3:09 - 3:11
    of the London Esperanto Club
  • 3:11 - 3:15
    and maybe I'll just find a mention
  • 3:15 - 3:17
    in this book of Jzknuckles
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    because she's old enough
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    to be in this book, right?
  • 3:22 - 3:25
    and here on the first page is
  • 3:25 - 3:29
    a scrawl in doctors-style handwriting
  • 3:29 - 3:32
    doctors style ... doctors style ...
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    doctors ... doctors style
  • 3:34 - 3:36
    Say that five times!
  • 3:36 - 3:38
    doctors style ... doctors style
  • 3:38 - 3:41
    doctors style ...
  • 3:41 - 3:42
    So, it says:
  • 3:42 - 3:45
    "With many thanks for his work
  • 3:45 - 3:48
    on behalf of Esperanto, Harry Holmes"
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    I wonder if he's
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    the brother of Sherlock Holmes
  • 3:53 - 3:56
    "London, august 1982"
  • 3:56 - 3:58
    So, it's just a signature.
  • 3:58 - 4:00
    and now I want
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    to show you some pages
  • 4:02 - 4:04
    Owww, here: Read. Good?
  • 4:04 - 4:07
    Did you read that? Good? Read it? Good.
  • 4:07 - 4:10
    Hmm, and now I guess
  • 4:10 - 4:13
    I'll read this part here
  • 4:16 - 4:19
    "In July 1887 appeared
  • 4:19 - 4:21
    the Unua Libro (First Book) by Zamenhof
  • 4:21 - 4:23
    under the name "Doctor Esperanto"
  • 4:23 - 4:26
    and only four months later
  • 4:26 - 4:28
    appeared an article in the London paper
  • 4:28 - 4:30
    "Saint James Gazette"
  • 4:30 - 4:34
    about a language called "Internacionolale",
  • 4:34 - 4:37
    an invention of Doctor Esperanto.
  • 4:37 - 4:40
    The editor of the newspaper was
  • 4:42 - 4:44
    W. T. Steed.
  • 4:44 - 4:46
    That was the beginning
  • 4:46 - 4:48
    of his interest in Esperanto
  • 4:48 - 4:51
    whose propagation in Britain
  • 4:51 - 4:53
    he contributed a lot.
  • 4:53 - 4:55
    But before that,
  • 4:55 - 4:57
    Steed was a well-known figure.
  • 4:57 - 5:02
    General Bramwell Goofdes, Fourth swarm-army
  • 5:02 - 5:05
    persuaded him to write articles
  • 5:05 - 5:07
    to share the terrible fate
  • 5:07 - 5:08
    of the young girls ...
  • 5:08 - 5:10
    Blablablabla ...
  • 5:10 - 5:12
    You can read the entire book if you want.
  • 5:12 - 5:13
    Here it is!
  • 5:13 - 5:16
    Look what I just found!
  • 5:17 - 5:20
    I have the Esperanto flag!
  • 5:20 - 5:22
    For the glory of the Esperanto community!
  • 5:25 - 5:27
    I've found a Volapük speaker!
  • 5:27 - 5:29
    And that is all!
  • 5:29 - 5:31
    If you've liked this film,
  • 5:31 - 5:32
    like it, share it around,
  • 5:32 - 5:35
    subscribe to my channel if you haven't already
  • 5:35 - 5:36
    and I'll see you all
  • 5:36 - 5:37
    in the next film.
  • 5:37 - 5:39
    and if you're not there,
  • 5:39 - 5:41
    I'll find you and I'll ki--
  • 5:41 - 5:44
    I'll kill you!
  • 5:44 - 5:45
    and as always
  • 5:45 - 5:46
    I want to thank
  • 5:46 - 5:47
    my Patreon supporters
  • 5:47 - 5:48
    and you too can
  • 5:48 - 5:50
    become a supporter if you want to.
