Odradek tries to name all of the twelve sons of Jacob without looking it up

Odradek

Simeon, Levi, Joseph, Benjamin, Reuben, Dan, Asher, Gad, Judah

I think there's another one that starts with an N, but I'm fresh out

Odradek

They can't all be joke threads

Imipolex G

keep thinking

you can do it

Odradek

Napthali?

Odradek

I cannot name that last fucker

Obā-san

I'm more of a team edward type myself

Odradek

I forgot Isaachar and Zebulon. In my defense, their names are Isaachar and Zebulon

Imipolex G

starts with a Z

are you trying to say that Zebulon is a forgettable name

Imipolex G

I've never forgotten it, personally

No, but it sounds like the evil ruler of planet Wombax, archrival of Vectron

Sredni Vashtar

You did way better than I would have.

here's my impression of trying to name the twelve sons of jacob

Odradek

Did none of you watch that Joseph and his Technicolor Dream Coat movie with Donnie Osmond five billion times growing up

I have never seen that movie, only heard of it's existence.

ramble:

when I was 12 or 13, somewhere in there, we had a recording of the Technicolor Dream Coat songs done by the theater kids at the local high school, because they actually did a really good job with their production of it, and we would listen to it in the car, I even enjoyed it some, this being before my metalhead days.

i think my entire religious knowledge i had growing up was like "it exists" and the story of how my mom got kicked out of sunday school

Narrator 

Way way back many centuries ago,
Not long after the Bible began
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan,
A fine example of a family man.
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Depended on farming to earn their keep.
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Spen all of his days in the fields with sheep. 
Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation
Thanks to the number of children he had
He was also known as Israel, but most of the time
His sons and his wives used to call him Dad.
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Men of the soil, of the sheaf and crook
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
A remarkable family in anyone's book. 

Narrator, Brothers, Female Ensemble & Children 

Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel
With Simeon and Levi the nex in line
Naphtali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan
Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one 
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Joseph - Jacob's favourite son
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob Jacob Jacob
Jacob and
Sons

What got her kicked out?

Obā-san

basically, whatever denomination she was a part of believed in predestination, she asked how, given both the fact that Judas was unable to chose not to turn Jesus in and also the fact that turning him in ultimately saved everybody, he could be condemned for his actions.

she was pretty young at the time, not sure how old idk

Imipolex G

that's very Pynchonian.

Obā-san

im pretty sure she was like 7, so she most likely had not read any Pynchon at that time

i should get her her own copy of Gravity's Rainbow, i think she'd like that

though it seems to annoy her when i buy her things, or offer let her borrow things i buy, like when i bought Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates and said she could read it

this is extreme even from what i know of sunday schools

Obā-san

she might have done something else, who knows, adults tell tall tales

Odradek

I once had an incident when I said David was right not to slaughter that one city

she is the less fervently atheistic of my two parental units

Given that Judas' "surname" indicates that he was a former member of the Zealots, his motivations were probably closer to those described in this similarly fine bit of musical theatre:

I really really need to dig into The Residents dicography.

Sredni Vashtar

You do. Hell, I do. I haven't listened to a lot of their work in years, and I have weirdly little of it in my collection.

thenamelesssamurai

They're one of those bands who have a very daunting discography, though not as daunting as John Zorn, admittedly.

Though holding people to the standard of being as prolific as John Zorn is not entirely fair.

Obā-san

John Zorn is less daunting IMO because there are way more definite "start here" points

Section42L

All of The Residents' stuff up to and including the Mole Trilogy is worth listening to.

I'm not big on what I've heard of their stuff after that, although I've heard that God In Three Persons and Wormwood are pretty good.

If you need a singular entry point, Duck Stab/Buster & Glen was a pretty perfect one for me.

Sredni Vashtar

Wormwood is rad, and their most recent stuff is very conceptually provocative even if it was not my cup of tea when I first heard it. I have also heard that Demons Dance Alone is really good.

But for intros, Duck Stab is great, but going chronologically from "Santa Dog" on is just as good a way to proceed.

the cheat, do you like zebulon's style?
