I can't pay the rent...You must pay the rent

Post by Lambuzhao »

Here's a perfect summer translation exercise-
1) It's not the Magna Carta (Sorry in advance).
2) There's a bit of repitition, which you may or may not vary in your translations.
3) It's a little summertime giggle.
4) You get to curse at the end, if you so wish.

This is a bare-bones version. I think there are a few more lines at the beginning.

So, get your :con: notes and bow-tie/paper fan, and have at it!

I just found out what this is! Apparently, it's a really old comedic bit where one person plays all three parts (damsel, landlord, hero). The only prop is a handkerchief or comb that the actor pretends is a hair bow for the damsel, a mustache for the landlord and a bowtie for the hero. Here's one version I found. But in his playwriting genius, Lambuzhao has embellished the script (in sentence structure and emoticon quotient), making for an achingly suspenseful economic drama.

Why it's for 'summer'

It's the sort of thing you do at Summer Camp, on one of your last days there, at night, being silly with your bunkmates, b/c all the awkwardness has passed and you can let yer hair down. Or on the car ride home from a long summer trip, on that rarest of moments when you and your siblings agschully agree on something. [:P]
Or on the bus ride home from a summer two/three week tour with your college chorus.

I just happen to identify it with Summer because of the above.
[:)]

A memorable non-summer occurence was when a Lit Prof used to MC all these events at my college (sic La Fac, La U). When there was a dead transition time, he would inevitably pull out a ridiculous bowtie, and do this. It was lame, but funny, and his goofy voices were priceless.

PS:

Reasons #1-4 should be close to near self-evident. [;)]

mēga n. - (female) hero
Etymology: from PIE *meh₂gʰ- (“to be able to, to help; power, sorcerer”), cognate to English magic

spey intj. - fuck, damn, shit
