About humor, easy or not, I guess it depends on what it *is.* Anais Nin dedicated her novel Collages to \"R. P. who created a world in which a humorous book could bloom.\" The funniest part about this is that Collages is decidedly unfunny. I don't know a Nin scholar alive (though perhaps sadly I do not know a lot of them) who hasn't had a crack at trying to explicate what Nin thought of as \"humorous\" in the work. I suppose it could be funny in the darkest way imaginable. For example there is a writer who has gone to Turkey and spent years of time painstakingly researching histories of a family. At the airport on her way home the plane catches fire and the passengers must exit. She watches from the tarmac as all her research and unique artifacts and photographs and priceless documents given to her by the family go up in smoke. Nin was a master of architecture in fiction though: if one work of art is destroyed, there are bound to be others. At the end of a novel a sculpture at an exhibit self-destructs in a burst of flame. There's a critical difference though: the sculpture, by Jean Tinguely, was supposed to self-destruct as part of a performance. The only work of art in the book that does survive is a terrible painting. When the heroine's house goes up in flames in the wee hours of morning, her narcissistic lover leaves her to her fate and runs off to rescue a painting that has been made of him as the god Pan. She saves herself and watches with amusement as the life-sized painting comes walking awkwardly toward her from the burning house with little hands clutching the edge, borne along from behind by the feckless lover. Hey, wait a minute, that is funny.
And speaking of Borg Queens, since my personal allegiance is to that other dashing dominatrix Dick-in-Son (I'm the son, but where did she get that dick), when you talk about humor or comedy as the moment when an expectation doesn't match reality I think of when I first learned what funny was: watching Three's Company. Besides the physical slapstick element of what they were doing (do you think John Ritter practiced yoga He had to have, right For his body to do all those things), the comedy depended on the landlord misunderstanding the situation, hearing a conversation through the door, etc. What's interesting is how the humor changed when the landlord changed. First you had Stanley and Helen who had just seen everything. Stanley was completely blase. You had to have Helen there to make it funny, make the wisecrack. Then later you had Mister Furley who was frenzied and frenetic and expressed that shock in the spasms of his own body.
Do not forget to congratulate, February 10 is the name day of your brownie, and he will be pleased to taste the festive treat. In Russia, they traditionally left a pot of porridge near the stove. And so that the dinner did not cool down, hot coals were placed nearby. Remember, the most important thing for him is attention. Food in the morning will most likely remain untouched, since brownies do not eat the food itself, but the energy that it radiates.
It is better to hang a brownie in the kitchen, closer to the stove, and if the house has a fireplace, then above it, since brownies love the warmth of an open fire and most often live nearby. This mystical decoration will help you win the trust and love of the brownie, acquire in his face a caring friend and a brave defender. And if the brownie loves someone, he will serve faithfully and faithfully, protecting the coziness and comfort of your home, the peace and prosperity of your family. shkolazhizni.ru
In childhood, brownies are like balls, covered with long, rough to the touch hair. The hands are small, with soft fingers. Legs may be absent - then the brownies move through the air, hovering a dozen centimeters from the floor. At the sight of a person, they usually become almost transparent and hover motionlessly under the ceiling, but sometimes they begin to fly very quickly around the room, leaving behind a grayish trail.
In adolescence, brownies do not have a gender, but for a long time living next to a person, he gradually acquires the appearance, character and gender of his master. In different regions of Russia, the brownie takes on different images. In addition to the old man, the village brownies pretend to be a hare, a bear, a lynx, or are shown as a shadow on the wall. City brownies often take the form of a mouse, snake, weasel or cat.
Kind brownie usually quietly dozing somewhere under the ceiling in the form of a bundle of energy, coming to the aid of the owners at the right moments. In houses with such brownies, things are less likely to be lost, or they are found very quickly, people swear less often, money is saved better, providing the owners with sustainable material wealth, and pets do not get sick. It is almost impossible to see a good brownie, unless you are endowed with a special gift that allows you to see the energy of everything around you, but his presence is felt in a sense of care and patronage. However, pets and small children can see the brownie: Barabashka, for example, sometimes even plays with the child and answers his questions.
Domovoy's wife - Domovikha, Domakha, Bolshukha, Marukh, Kikimora (not to be confused with the forest and swamp kikimora!) Often messes up and is weird. He rearranges furniture, shifts things to his taste, confuses threads, frightens children with a sudden clatter of heels. But sometimes it helps the owners, warns them of trouble. Usually Domovuha-kikimora appears in the form of a dry little woman, a head with a thimble, straw legs. In mid-May (the time for the matchmaking of brownies), her skin turns green, and damn sparks appear in her eyes. It can also appear as a girl with a white face, black eyes and long black hair.
Hang any object on a long thread - a ring, a large bead, any object that seems most suitable for this. The pendulum answers questions by swinging in different directions, yes or no. Leaving the offering for the night, check the energy of milk in the morning. Yes, milk will be untouched at first glance, if cats do not lap it up, because brownies are energy entities, and they feed on energy, respectively. Your pendulum will not be able to answer the question whether milk is good or bad, it will simply stand still without swinging, because all the energy from milk will go away. This means you have a brownie, and he accepted your offering.
If you are interested in how to find out if there is a brownie in the house, watch your pet. Cats may begin to purr for no apparent reason, which means that the brownie scratches them behind the ear. Sometimes they play together, because brownies, like young cats, love to play very much. From the outside, it looks like a cat is chasing and playing with someone invisible. If the cat behaves strangely, and at the same time he is not scared, and does not show aggression, there is definitely a kind brownie in your house. Dogs play with good spirits much less often than cats. Usually they just look at something invisible, without reacting to the owners.
First, I would like to tell why brownies sometimes start acting naughty, show your presence and annoy people in every possible way. There can be a lot of reasons for this, but for the most part this is because the brownie is simply unhappy with the people who live in his house. Unscrupulous and lazy, evil and unkind people who love to quarrel and shout, who lead the house to desolation, harm the home in every possible way, can incur the wrath of the brownie. The manifestations of such anger can vary greatly, so to speak, in terms of the intensity of passions. These can be disappearing things, incomprehensible knocks, howling, voices in the walls and even bruises on the body, strange ghostly images that are visible to people, spontaneous combustion of things and other phenomena, for which there is only one explanation - the brownie is trying to tell people something. 153554b96e
