I was going to post this last night. amasugiru beat me to it.

So how do you summarise The Tale of Genji, anyway?

AngelicNCE: Hmmm, I hate tale of genji... how do you summarize that bitch in a paragraph and make it sound scholarly. You don't... I hate that fucking book.
BeanRigh: Exactly.
BeanRigh: Oops? Did I just accidentally rape you?
BeanRigh: Here, take my fan.
AngelicNCE: Oops, I did it again. Silly me.
BeanRigh: Victim: Oohoo. ::giggle::
BeanRigh: Genji: I keep tripping and landing in everyone's vaginas. Nande darou?
BeanRigh: *de arou.
AngelicNCE: And then he weeps in the corner like any modern day dorama biotch.
AngelicNCE: Oh woes Genji, he gets a world of pussy but nobody really loves him.
BeanRigh: Man, it's good to see how the yamatodamashi has perservered.
BeanRigh: Kind of like every Japanese man alive today.
AngelicNCE: hahaha, you know it.
AngelicNCE: Except mama!
AngelicNCE: There we go. We just summarized genji in an aim conversation. That works for me.
AngelicNCE: I wonder if Berkeley would accept that.
AngelicNCE: Did we leave anything out?
BeanRigh: Hm. We should have talked about what seasonal colors everyone was wearing while raping/being raped.


She then sent me this link. I countered with this.

That will be all.

And I *like* the genji!

That is HILARIOUS. somehow just utterly perfect. Utterly fucking perfect. Utterly raping perfect. Nice.

And the Joe and Monkey comic is amazing. Good lord.

Glad to amuse, as ever. That's the beauty of the summary, though: whether you like Genji or hate Genji, there's no denying that that is Genji;)

I was quite proud of finding the comic too, and right before it became relevant to the larger conversation!

that is the most accurate summary of genji ever. *laughs*

So you've been subjected to the horror too?

I've never actually read Genji, though I've heard about it, but your "summary" just killed me. XDDD

And I especially love the link to the first comic. XDDDDD

Glad to amuse.

Sadly, Genji is very much as we described it above. One of these days I may do a summary of Murasaki's Pillow Book too - it's just about as edifying;)
