| I have a proverb for you. |
Last night - feeling terribly 'underground' - Ata went to a screening of an assortment of short films. Adelaide is ramping up for the Fringe Festival - a fairly major performing arts festival that used to be held every two years, but has now been upped to every year. A great many associated artsy events happen at around the same time. Ata likes it when the Fringe is on - there are quality street performers in the Mall pretty much all day every day, and everyone is going, plans to go, or has been to see SOMETHING. Well, admittedly Ata usually only goes to see the street performers. But anyway - where was I? Ah, yes, the proverb.
One of the short films being screened was a thoroughly funny, spoofy 70's style sci-fi show. Very silly, but very entertaining, complete with clumsy animation of a giant space squid and slightly out-of-time dubbing. It featured Buck Casanova and his sidekick, Jerome - apparently on an interstellar quest to recover something improbable from someone unpronouncable. Buck offers advice, at one point, to Jerome - "Ah, Jerome. Let me tell you a proverb. Once there was a space farmer, who lived on a moon rock and had a space cow. Another space farmer wished to buy the space cow from the first farmer. And the first space farmer sold it to him for a reasonable price." Buck pointed his finger and inclined his head solemnly. "And that's a true story." |
