merely rhys@catsalad When I was a kid I was at a church wedding and needed to pee but couldn't find the toilet, so I went outside and found a quiet spot.
I literally peed on a church.

The Mighty Git@catsalad I like being agnostic because it annoys everyone, even other agnostics.
C++ Wage SlaveOoh yeah. And being agnostic really annoys atheists, who try to convince me that I'm an atheist.

Humperdoo
"Humperdoo" is the name given to the messiah and 17th progeny of Jesus Christ. Prior to Christ's crucifixion, he fathered a child whose subsequent descendants have been protected throughout the centuries by the Grail. Eventually, this descendant was born (the 25th great grandchild) and suffers mental and physical complications from roughly 2000 years of inbreeding. His actual name is not known, but he refers to himself using the nonsense word "Humperdoo". Humperdoo is hidden in a...

After âdemonicâ desecration, Louisiana church reconsecrated as details about priest emerge
Archbishop Gregory Aymond on Saturday consecrated a new altar at the Louisiana parish where a priest reportedly filmed a pornographic video atop the parish altar with two women last month. Details have emerged about the priest, who is expected to face criminal and canonical charges after the episode.

AccordionBruce@catsalad
Pirates never played accordions
đŽââ ïžđ«đȘ
(Because they hadnât been invented yet)
Accordions were invented during the 1800s Industrial Revolution at the same time as the telegraph, steam engine and the typewriter
100 years after the Golden Age of Piracy 1600sâ1700s
So every pirate movie with an accordionist is a science fiction movie with a time-travel sub plot đâïž
Paul_IPv6yeah... i go through this at every ren faire, pirate movie, etc. showing a guitar. what we'd recognize as a guitar was a 19th century evolution of earlier instruments... i wasn't a wizard in history but do know that the renaissance was pre-1800s...

@AccordionBruce @catsalad I thought the things pirates don't play were concertinas.
JWarner@davidr @AccordionBruce @catsalad Concertinas are still 1835 ish. Now, I haven't found anything on the variations of the nearly 4,000-year-old Chinese version. https://concertinamusic.com/timeline/
Cadbury Moose@Jeanniewarner @davidr @AccordionBruce @catsalad
Yes, the concertina was the invention of Sir Charles Wheatstone, patented 1829, public launch 1835, so Tom the cabin boy couldn't have used one to play the Trumpet Hornpipe for Captain Pugwash[1] on The Black Pig. 3:O(> There were lots of competing designs, so as with computers: "Any student of the concertina has to choose between ten incompatible operating systems."[2] 3:O))>
[1] Pugwash is coeval with this moose!

@Cadbury_Moose @davidr @AccordionBruce @catsalad Thought you might enjoy reading about the Chinese one from an earlier millennium. :-)
@Jeanniewarner @Cadbury_Moose @davidr @catsalad
Youâre right!
Outside my areas but seems like the great Pirate Queen Zheng Yi Sao might have had South East Asian free reeds (variants inspired early accordions) onboard
And they would likely/definitely have been around on shore
Now thatâs a story to be told! đȘ đŽââ ïž đ

Ignazio Palmisano@leeloo @AccordionBruce @catsalad hegseth or trump with an accordion would work as well, but I have no desire to see their faces other than behind bars
Adam WysokiĆski@AccordionBruce @catsalad I've got a theory here: accordions, like opsin genes, were invented at least twice, separately. When the golden age of piracy was gone, the memories of accordions were repressed since strongly associated with socially unaccepted piracy-related aggression and violence. Hence, no trace in later history. However, they re-appear in movies as a great example of an archetype in Jungian shared unconsciousness. Anyone recall other social groups playing accordions? I'd like to develop my theory further.
@adam_wysokinski @catsalad
The Jungian telegraph needs to be included at least
Developed by the same guy as the English concertina, Charles Wheatstone
He also measured the speed of light, did that circuit thing, and invented 3-D glasses đ”âđ«

@AccordionBruce @catsalad It fucks me up knowing that the bodhrĂĄn was invented in the 19th century, cus it feels like something that must have been around forever.
Granted it does depend on who you ask, there are people who insist it's ancient, but I think it's a question of how rigorously you define it. Like frame drums are probably older than dirt, but we're talking about a specific type of frame drum.
@Owlor @catsalad
The origin-stories of traditions are some of my favourite things
Like ~every~ tradition has to have been started by real live people just sitting around one day
The accordion is particularly interesting because it gained real global popularity after the 1860s or so
And recording started in the 1890s
So we have records of people who might have known the very first players of some âtraditionalâ styles
@Owlor @catsalad
Folk glorious of the 1800s and early 1900s hated the squeezeboxes
So they never talked about them or recorded them or interviewed any of the players
So folklorists canât do something similar to a comparative analysis of todayâs research on the impact of the boombox 100 years later
Mostly it makes you conscious of the question of the historical origins of âauthenticityâ and how it was used as a sales-pitch, or simply nostalgic amnesia
@Owlor @catsalad
So when I learned Bill Monroe invented #Bluegrass at the same time be-boppers invented modern #jazz⊠đ· đȘ
But one music still projects as âmodernâ while the other has an aura thatâs more and more antique and folkloric
Monroeâs mom played #accordion and was a really good fiddle player, and as far as I can tell, no interviewer ever asked him about that đ
(The key question? âWhat kind? And what repertoire?â Because a button accordion wouldâve indicated an older tradition)

Edmonton has a huge annual Heritage Festival, with 100+ tents with food, dance, music put together by cultural associations representing and demonstrating the peoples that form our city. Our family makes jokes about the accordion because itâs the âtraditionalâ instrument of *so* many of them. A new, exciting instrument developed and spread in the heyday of spreading nationalism sentiment suddenly made ancient.
