Wonderful, wonderful photos Jeff. Thanks to you and to whoever took/edited them. Excellent job.
[those ever-so-nifty animated viewers make me think about smashing my monitor, tho]
Zen is not easy.
It takes effort to attain nothingness.
And then what do you have?

Re: Kumamoto Shakuhachi Festival Photos
Thanks boys,
Well, I took a chance on the viewer. Glad I could shake things up a bit though. Hope I didn't create too much of a clean-up with yuz.
The upright player is Nakayama Gishou, a soto zen monk who doubles as a jazz bassist from time to time. Very nice guy.
Indeed...Tasmanians in the show next time. Very tough to top though.

Perhaps this is a Tazmanian idiom that I'm not familiar with, but I suspect that your really mean, "I feelin' seasick! "
In AAE, at least, the form "I be feelin' seasick" means that feeling seasick is your habitual or ongoing condition. "I feelin' seasick" refers to your current condition. It's a useful distinction that standard English doesn't make.

These American Association of Endodontists folk sound a bit dodgey, dropping the "am" from the phrase.
Seems like Brian's dialect stems from West Saxon, probably via the West Country:
I be, Thee bist, He be, We be, Thee 'rt, They be.

What may appear dodgy (the modern form preferred by the OED*) to you is actually standard syntax in African American English.
Let's not dismiss it as just some ethno-English.

*The most recent (actually the only) citation for dodgey predates the Meiji era.

It was rated "ARRRRR!"

Nice images, and an interesting viewer. I'm giving that one a whirl on a site of mine. Looks like the Festival was a big hit!

Arrr, it seems that me thread has been boarded and driven up to mizzenmast by some with a penchant for pirates and other such scalawags. Ye'll ne'er get me buried booty that way mates!
