und wir erfahren es aus erster Hand: es gibt ein neues Buch von Emma Bull (jay!) Erschienen ist es zwar noch nicht, ein Termin steht auch noch nicht fest, aber Steven Brust hat es schon gelesen und sogar einen Abschnitt zur Diskussion freigegeben. Interessant, so hab ich über Point of View noch garnicht nachgedacht. Und wenn wir das Buch endlich gelesen haben, können wir auf diese Diskussion zurückblicken und nochmal darüber lachen ...

Borat: My country send me to United States to make movie-film. Please, come and see my film. If it not success, I will be execute.

Borat: This is Natalya.

Borat: Niiice!

Borat: This my mother. She is oldest woman in ALL of Kuzek! She is 42!Uhh... this my wife, Oxanna... she is boring.
Oxanna: What? What? What did you tell them about me you skinny piece of shit? Why don't you do something useful and dig your mama a grave! You tall piece of shit!

Borat: This is Orkin, the town rapist! Naughty, naughty!

Borat: I arrived in America's airport with clothings, U.S dollars and a jar of gypsy tears to protect me from AIDS.

Borat: May George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq!

Borat: [Narrating] We decided to not take airplane should the Jews repeat their attack of 9/11.

Azamat: [subtitled] We should go back to New York. At least there are no Jews there.

Borat Sagdiyev: What kind of car can I buy that attract woman with shaved vazhïn?
Car Dealership owner: That would be a Corvette. Or a Hummer.

Borat Sagdiyev: I will look on your treasures, gypsy. Is this understood?

Borat: Gypsy, who is this woman you have shrunk?

Azamat: [points to two cockroaches] The Jews have shifted their shapes!

Borat: Do Jesus love my neighbor, Nusultan Tulyakbay?
Pentecostal church pastor: Yes, Jesus loves your everyone.
Borat: Nobody like my neighbor Nusultan Tulyakbay.

Borat: We need somewhere to park our black asses for the night.

Linda Freeman: Have you ever had an orgasm, Alex?
Alex Hughes: It has been known.
Linda Freeman: It sounds like an inferior version of what I feel when I have a mouthful of snow.

9. November 1992

"V"

der geheimnisvolle Rächer in der Guy-Fawkes-Maske, dem es bei seinem Rachefeldzug gelingt, das totalitäre Regime in England zu stürzen, wird an diesem Tag von Inspector Finch erschossen. Dessen Triumph ist allerdings nicht von Dauer.

(Alan Moore & David Lloyd, "V for Vendetta", 1981)

Remember, remember,
the fifth of November,
the gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason
why the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.
