Re: [lojban] Re: lo pamoi skina pe la.garnan. (The first Stickman video.)



I was really hoping that someone would get that joke. Apparently there aren't enough jbopre that know about the NBA to have any idea who Dennis Rodman is, which is an unfortunate requirement to understanding the joke.

.garnan. - now .granan., because I oopsed - is a stick figure: a Rod Man.

well obviously the number of people who will be confused about the name will be much smaller now that we've had a nice long thread about it.  My first reaction on seeing it though was "hmm, that's a cool sounding name.  I wonder what it means. <looks up the rafsi>.  Well that doesn't make sense.  Must be a phonetic translation of some rarbau name."

nice video.  I think I'm missing a joke though about the lankyboljvi.

I do think I should maybe change his name to .granan., however. Of course, that means I'd have to redo the little this-is-how-I-came-up-with-the-name animation, though. :D

So far, the count is:

 * 0 people asking what a garna snanu is
 * 2 people complaining that "garna snanu" isn't what he meant.

I think .aionys. can permit himself to be fully surprised the day
someone asks him what a garna snanu is!
