Row of stone lanterns at Toshogu

In my dream, I was walking among the row of stone lanterns at Toshogu, some of them – which was not shaded by the towering trees behind them – almost glowed in the bright moonlight. Then, suddenly, they all brightened, as a light lit up inside each of them. A huge stone structure, also glistening in the moonlight, stepped out of the line, stood in front of me, and by bending down its stone head, the top opened, so I could walk into a bright hall. Seeing hundreds of stone lanterns inside, it became clear to me that I had entered a lantern-school, where little ones can learn the ability to stand and light with dignity. Small ones, with just flickering lights and bigger, already definitely glowing teenagers were standing there in heavy rows. As part of the not-so-complicated training system, they have to stand and shine all day long for many decades, until they become so strong and large that they slide out of the lantern-school’s hole by their own weight. As it turned out, the lantern I entered didn’t bow actually to me, but rather a mature lantern started its life outside by jumping out of one of the lighting holes. And the top was opened by an ancient lantern custom as a sign of respect. …and I walked in… the fruits of my carelessness soon ripened, when the larger lantern cadets slowly surrounded me and pushed me to the place had recently left empty… I felt my legs start to stiffen and almost turn to stone… a cold sweat ran down my spine as I tried to shake my head for one last time…

…I woke up to a pain shooting through my temple… the bedside table was a bit close. My dog jumped off from my leg in fright and the numbness slowly started to wear off.

The ringing of the phone forced me out of bed. The editor-in-chief called. For the next big article, they need a series of pictures of the row of stone lanterns at Toshogu, where the priests of the shrine discovered a brand new lantern this morning…

Helyi Hírek 2050

Síelni vágyó turisták lepik el a festői Akku-hegység lábánál elterülő Kobalt-síkságot. A Duna és Tisza hajdanvolt medreinek partjain létrehozott vad- és növénymentes nehézfém rezervátum szívében, a hegység tövében fekvő Ion-várost – a talpfák r-kordidő alatti elhasználódása miatt – vasút helyett közvetlen buszjárat köti össze a Katód-fennsíkkal, amely a kiszámíthatóan érkező, rendszeres ipari havazásnak köszönhetően vált a téli sportok szerelmeseinek paradicsomává.

Mióta a lakosság – felismerve az ország érdekeit és támogatva a közösséget szolgáló vezetés céljait – Flórát és Faunát kézenfogva engedett teret a turizmusnak, már semmi sem háborgatja az itt pihenni és sportolni vágyókat.

Az inverz-logisztikai folyamatok és a gyártástechnológia kiemelkedő minőségi defektusainak eredményét magába fogadó hegy szinte sugározza magából gazdagságát. A városban és a fennsíkon kialakított boltokban és hüttékben a legszínesebb kínálattal találkozhatunk – amennyiben átvergődtük magunkat az érdeklődők és a kötelező plakátok erdein.

Le sem tagadhatjuk, hogy nemzeti feltalálónk ötletének hála itt találhatók a legváltozatosabb akciók és az ezek negatív tendenciáját széles körben korrigálni hivatott modern inflációs trendek.

Ne késlekedjen hát! Várja önt is Fanyarország!

1 Brush 4 Every Tree

Dear my Comrads in the Brush.

I want you all to listen to my words now. We are only in one step distance from reaching our goals, from the realization of our long-cherished desire.

Our brush-prophets all over the world started hanging brushes on the most trees. I would like more and more people to agree with this initiative.

If we can provide each tree with its own brush, then it would bring countless advantages, like

– brush-makers have a better living,
– tree scratchers will have more time to spend with their families,
– each and every tree will get its well deserved scratchin and brushing,
– itching of trees would be eased sooner
– …
I know well, you would be able to continue the list.

I want you to help our work as our movement and goals are independent, ideology-free and gender-neutral.

And now shout aloud together our slogan:

“Hang it up! You got to hang it up!”

Élvezet

Úgy hullámzik a zene,
mintha festő ecsetje
képet írna a vásznon
hol testet ölt az álom.

Mesterien festett kép,
mint dallamvers mond mesét
hol a sok szín összecseng,
ahogy rím sorvégeken.

Verssorok hulláma ring,
mint az álomképeink
és elménkben szárnyra kél
minden sor. A vers zenél.

Körbe ér idő s a tér:
vers kotta nélkül zenél,
dallamaira felel
kép mi színekkel versel.

Today’s Takeaway

It’s said the more you give, the more the world gives back. It ‘s also said the more money you spend somewhere, the more discount you get. It can be read that the more you use your credit card, the more refund you have.

I don’t know.

What I am experiencing is that the more I spend, the higher my expenses are.

View

We have a considerably high ladder at my workplace. It is enough high to get over the clouds on it. We use it for checking the weather by eyes, climbing up on it. We need to check by eyes as we cannot trust instruments anymore since they lied that it will rain last friday but that day it was snowing.

Every morning I have to climb up and see what is visible. Normally it takes half or a whole hour to get to the top depending on the weather conditions and the same amount of time backwards.

The checking process itself would take only 3-5 seconds, scanning around by turning my head around. But I always idle a few minutes there because I have a secret friend.

From that point I have clear visibility to the planet Saturn. Unfortunately this is the farthest point I can see, you know I’ve lost my eyeglasses last year. Fortunately this way I stared at Saturn and I could discover it. You can clearly see it’s rings which are colorful concentric circles. The yellow, red and green rings are me most visible ones, but the black one you hardly can see because of the background you know.

Not only the rings are my secret.

I have a friend living there. He is a really nice „guy” but we hardly could call him „guy” as does not look alike a human, but more like a grey 2X10 LEGO brick. His name is Sanifever.

He has no eyes, ears even no mouth. We use to communicate by some kind of wireless system, similar to the internet. My childhood friend, Elon designed it for me. He promised this to me when we played chess in the kindergarten on Mars. Musk always keeps his words, so now I have this system, so I can keep connection with my secret friend.

We always discuss the stock market news and of course I use to inform him on the health status of my hamsters.

Sanifever has already told me about Saturn. I enjoyed the story about Saturn’s frogs the most. Frogs are the most important beings on Saturn, because they are killing the brickworms. Brickworms are enemies of my friend, so we can say that frogs are our friends.

Despite the common rumors there are no trees on Saturn. I can confirm this. You can believe me, I saw the absence of them. Instead there are big purple balloons groving there. Sanifever use to harvest them as he is responsible for this. By Earth-terminology we could say that his profession is like a gardener. In his freetime we use to talk. We use my friend’s free time to discuss the current state of things.

Helyi Hírek

A napok óta kitartóan hulló, bőséges tavaszi csapadékáldás következtében a helyi csónakázótavat a vasútállomásunkkal összekötő egybefüggő vízfelszín alakult ki. Mivel az előrejelzések szerint az időjárásban változás napokig nem várható, így az önkormányzat a főtéren telente már megszokott jégpálya mintájára közösségi medence felállításáról döntött. Az időjárási viszonyok esetleges negatív változását követő vízpótlás egy egyszerű és költséghatékony megoldással, a közeli trieszti magyar kikötőből történne. A miniszterelnök ezzel kapcsolatban a kormány kiemelt támogatásáról biztosította a nem létező ellenzék helyi ellenzékét és a beruházási költségek kordában tartása érdekében tárca nélküli minisztert nevezett ki a projekt sikeres lebonyolításának idejére. A saját (‘országunk’ – a szerk.) érdekeit mindig elsődlegesnek tekintő Bátorak Kft önként ajánlotta fel a gazdaság fékevesztett száguldása okán egyébként hosszú távon lekötött kapacitása egy részét a munkálatok megkezdéséhez. A frissen kinevezett miniszter e költségeknek a fejlesztési pénzekből történő azonnali megtérítésére tesz javaslatot a következő kormányülésen.
