RE: Interactive Paintings: The Vagabonds, Season 2, Episode 5

I sympathise with this character's hair loss, so bald in fact the top of his head's fading away!

Archibald, 5-1-1, he is bald but nonetheless rocks the mutton chops of sensory sublation

Thanks @reggaemuffin for helping the game continue! Here's a picture of another enlightened individual rocking some mutton chops

Sort:  

Nice! Cannot unsee that pic, jeez :D

Here's Archibald, the Hilarious but Sloppy Freemason, bald, but nonetheless Rocks the Mutton Chops of Sensory Sublation (had to look that up, though!)

Haha google comes up with some of the best pictures when you search 'bald mutton chops'

Sublation = aufhebung / aufheben, I've heard that it's a word that's actually used in everyday German (do you speak some German? Can't remember..), though probably with a slightly different meaning to 'sublation' which is probably one of the most obscure words in the English language as it was imported through Hegel's work. How did I even get there? I was struggling to find a magical object and happened to have Hegel sitting in front of me...

Moral of the story: Don't mess with mutton chops unless you're a Prussian dialectical bad-ass - or a bald and sloppy Freemason :)

You're making this very scary and weird - I like that :D
Hegel looks pretty bad-ass there!

Really helpful, there, Wikipedia:

Aufheben or Aufhebung[1] is a German word with several seemingly contradictory meanings, including "to lift up", "to abolish", "cancel" or "suspend", or "to sublate".[2] The term has also been defined as "abolish", "preserve", and "transcend". In philosophy, aufheben is used by Hegel to explain what happens when a thesis and antithesis interact, and in this sense is translated mainly as "sublate"

making this very scary and weird
-> Ha feels like the vagabondy thing to do

You gotta love German, I think it's 'umfahren' which means both to drive to around something, and to run over something / someone. This kind of semantic confusion must have caused nightmares during the Nuremberg trials ><

You betcha, that's the Vagabondy thing to do!

I'm really not good in German, I remember having to study Dutch, French, English and Latin at the same time, and then, on top, they imposed German on me. I just couldn't cope. There you have it, you made me do a blockchain-testimonial.

Gesundheit, Kartopfelkopf!

By the way, did you find the steembay-auction for your Vagabond?

I can feel the pain seeping through there! I wouldn't take it either if school was teaching me to be polite to a potato that sneezed on me, melted butter flying all over the place. Disgusting.

Just saw! Op de aardappel fiets naar de Vagabonds markt! (blame my recently acquired nijntje books for this one...)
