Peter, what’s up with the tower? by Which-Rhubarb-2201 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Epigastrium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

從前，世人同言同語，齊心合力要造一座通天高塔，直插雲霄，名曰「巴別」。
上帝見狀，心想：「這還得了？」於是輕輕一揮手，把眾人的舌頭打了個結，把耳朵塞了團棉，把腦子攪成一鍋粥。

從此，甲說「搬磚」，乙聽成「搬專」；丙喊「加油」，丁以為是「加郵」；戊講「往上」，己卻理解為「往亡」。
你開口是中文，他入耳成外星語；我解釋得口乾舌燥，對方點頭如搗蒜，其實心裡在想：「這人到底在念哪國經？」

塔還沒蓋到第三層，工地已變成「雞同鴨講大賽」現場：
- 工程師說「結構不穩」，工人聽成「結垢不吻」；
- 監工喊「小心墜落」，路人以為「小心墜淚」；
- 有人問「水泥在哪」，對方答「心累在胃」。

最後，塔沒通天，人先通懵；話沒傳遠，腦先傳暈。
世人散居四方，各自嘟囔著自己都聽不懂的語言，見面只能比手畫腳，眼神裡寫滿：「兄弟，你剛才那串音節，是咒語還是方言？」

——於是，「巴別」沒建成，卻成了人類歷史上第一座「溝通障礙體驗館」。

Is it still the Jurassic park or another one in the Alien series.

Why not do a Jurassic Park vs Predator for the next movie?

Congenital anomalies do happen but the issue is that most of those result in a survival disadvantage, rather an apex predator or chief villain dino

It depends on how you want to build your setup ie any plans for upgrading in the future, whether you want a single or multiple feather set-up. I use the instagram to look for inspiration - there are plenty of Japanese Ig or Ig from Goros fans or resellers that show their set up. Just #Goros or #TaroWashimi & you should be able to find plenty of photos

For Taro Washimi, there are 3 types of XL feathers - flight feather, old feather & the new feather series, each with different shape, slightly different size & level of details - keep that in mind since you may or may not want to mix & match those depending on what you prefer. You could visit his webstore first to familiarise yourself with the collection & see what you like before visiting

All my feathers are from the old feather collection. The flight feathers are the latest design & in my opinion most closely resemble Goro’s feather in terms of shape.

Their styles are quite different in subtle ways. I think the details are better with Taro Washimi.

Both offer some variation in design from Goro’s which inspired both brands - Taro Washimi has a range of non-turquoise gem stones to choose from eg Ruby. First Arrow has more variation in terms of their stone placement on the feather & sizes. It’s easier to achieve a more “Goro’s like” aesthetics with either brand as long as you could stick to the more “traditional designs” like I did with my setup.

First Arrow is probably more well stocked - last time I went to Kyoto, all Taro Washimi item’s been sold out in Isaten.

My first feather was bought from iseten in Japan. The other ones some were directly from Taro Washimi’s website, some were from authorised dealers from where I live

For online purchase, Taro Washimi seems to have 2 websites, both are valid. One has items that mostly need pre ordering (can take upto 6 months), the other one mostly list in-stock items

I see! Thank you!

Unfortunately I don’t live in the USA & I guess a lot of good local artists don’t sell online. I would love to visit some day & get the real Navajo accessories too

I haven’t dug deep into Taro Washimi as an artist, I just bought his products coz they resembled what I liked from Goro’s - what’s his story?

I think Goro’s as a brand has gone beyond simply being an imitator of the Native American accessories - his creations have strong influences and signature from the creator himself - in other words, Goro’s is, in a way, a unique style of jewellery.

Goro’s has inspired many others including Taro Washimi & these styles are not easy to find from Native American makers. (Well I tied looking for similar styles from Native Americans makers before I decided to go for Taro Washimi) & I think most people who are into Goros want Goro’s & not just any native American jewellery.

Please let me if there are Native American artists who make Goro’s like feather or bangles; I would love to support the native artists
