Jerusalem in 30 minutes hot and fresh or its free.

Huh?

a lesser Orlando Furioso.
Have to say i never finished it. It helps that Ariosto has some truly excellent English translations (Harington), while Tasso just doesn't.

I now have enough Italian to maybe attempt it in the original, so perhaps i will revise my opinion.

AND DID THOSE FEET IN ANCIENT TIMES
DELIVER PIZZA ON ENGLAND'S SUBURBS WET
…
AND BUILT A NEW JERUSALEM HERE
WITHIN THIS DARK SATANIC MILL

The Fairfax translation (the one I got) seems pretty decent. Is that the one you read?

I am making obscure jokes about Jerusalem as the metaphor of Christ's Kingdom of the Millennium on earth in British (English) worship as with Blake; the apocalypse as with the USAAF's most recondite division: missilleers*1; the apocalypse as in your pizza not being delivered on time; the Crusader's appalling inability to seize Jerusalem, and when they did their appalling war-criminality and ignorance; the war criminality and ignorance of the USAAF, and thus capitalism, and thus pizza delivery, and thus Neil Stephenson; and, thus, of necessity, have some fun with miku.

*1 Bring me my Bow of burning gold: The missile knows where it is
Bring me my arrows of desire: It knows where it is at all times
Bring me my Spear: It knows this because it knows where it isn't
O clouds unfold! The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands

In the silos we sit and we wait for the bell. That will tell us our masters have damned us to hell. And the buttons we'll press are apart far enough. That no one man goes crazy and fucks your touhou.

It isn't the physical Jerusalem you have to capture: I'm raping the Jerusalem by storm inside my mind.

Whoops forgot my image.

>>21756935
wtf did I just read.

>>21756940
He just means it sounds like Jerusalem is being delivered like a pizza.

>>21756958
I got that part but wtf does that have to do with the USAAF?

Atomic Pizza Psychospiritual Pilgrimageopunk (Blakean / Gachimuchi)

If you're reading Luther Blisset, Deleuze & Guattari, and Nick Land you ought to be able to solve this.

>USAAF
The USAAF was later renamed the USAF and competed with the United States' two other nuclear armed military airforces: the USN and USN (Marines). The USAF controlled missile delivery, and as you can see from the hatch door, offered the apocalypse in 30 minutes or your next destruction of all humanity is free. This is relevant because they use a pizza box and pizza slogan. This is relevant because the crusades were pilgrimages trying to usher in the millennium and apocalypse.

Its not every day you read true art. It isnt even every month or every year. Qareen says:
>O Muslim! There is a jew behind you, turn about and kill him! The west, they say, is the empire of lies!
Personally I dont take much stock in the rustling of jinns, but he seems to have enjoyed this pizza as much as me. Qareen says:
>There are microprocessors in the hands of the crusaders and semiconductors in the voice of saints!
Two postscripts:
>An expeditionary force has seized Samarkand fruits but my wife lives on in the non of Bukhara.
>A cup made of water, may you drink dry dust
What a rascal he is. Inshallah he shuts the fuck up

Schopenhauer said this guy didn't deserve the title of great Italian poet. Only Dante, Ariosto and Petrarca (his favorite) could claim that title. Make of that what you will.

The Mullah Nasreddin was pouring water using a cup into a jug. His eyes were at the mouth of the jug. He lifted cup after cup of water and poured it into the jug.

His friend asked him, "Mullah! The jug has no bottom it will never be filled!?"

"Silence fool, I am concerned as to when it is full, not the state of the jug. Let me watch and pour."
