Vampy has been up to some mischief lately.
In big items, he was able to mess up the Navy's Bethesda Medical Center computer operations (now three weeks without digital medical coding being done).
In small items, he hid my car keys in my tallis bag before I went to a shiva minyan so I had to go back in the house and use a different set of keys.
Vampy says he likes to keep in practice since his gig as US Ambassador to the Underworld may someday be gone.
Pengy and the Professor's offspring (we will call him/her Junior Postmodern or JP) had a little talk.
Pengy said, "We look for a sale that is gevinen, gevinen. Parnose for me and a metsiye for the faynshmeker."
JP said, "Your precultural capitalist theory is a mythic construct based on discourse missing the
acknowledgement of elitist context as the common structure of the
paradigm. Even in a neodialectic subnarrative, the class structure of
the observing theoretically conscious entity is obviously exploitative.
Furthermore, the latent sexism and postconceptual colonialist intrinsic
renders the semanticist faux reality as dehumanizing. Only a
deconstructive dialectic could lead to a functioning form of neotheory
that would satisfy a descriptive aesthetic of those diamonds."
Pengy said, "What?"
JP said, "What?"
I got some hyacinths in the image for color enrichment.
Also, I think JP is interviewing for a higher position in one of the critical studies field in the Gender and Ethnic Studies Department.
I used the postmodern jargon generator for this. Also, it gives me an excuse to place this long ago Calvin and Hobbs cartoon (click on it to enlarge) in the post.
Tonight we got some images of Lev studying Tractate Makkot. Lev might use them in the marketing phase of the build out of his for profit learning and doing yishiva. This would assist in the vertical scaling of the enterprise (although Lev admits that he doesn't know what words and phrases like "build out", "marketing phase" or "vertical scaling of the enterprise" mean.
The first image is from an interior page 22b which is part of perek III of Tractate Makkot. It shows a type of whip made from the hide of a donkey and the hide of a calf. It also has some commentary by RAMbam.
The second image is of Lev examining the back of the volume. As you can see, the volume includes both Makkos and Shavuot (vows).
The third image shows the same page as the first image but from a greater distance so you can see Lev studying it.
The fourth image is a smaller version of the first image. Somehow it popped up on the post and it is hard to get rid of it.
