Never let is be said that the Jiulong folks don’t have fun! Ohio student Fabian Ferreri sent this little gem along with his unique impressions of it. Enjoy!
Lord knows how I tried to get the group to be serious… But there are some characters in every congregation of people that are pure hams and under no circumstances will be the inscrutable characters that we all would like to see. Wouldn’t it have been better if the t-shirt wearers lined up and looked like that austere and contented couple in Wood’s American Gothic? Or perhaps a better pose would be for the t-shirted to have that far-away and contemplative look that Dorothea Lange captured in those gentle migrant people during the depression/dust bowl. ’Migrant Mother’ immediately comes to mind.
But no! My artistic thoughts were waylaid by that loud and crass person that’s right behind Darlene in the photo. I’ll not mention his name in keeping with the spirit of the four virtues. Good-bye Pulitzer… Good-bye Noble… Hello National Enquirer!! Oh, the indignity! (sigh)
