About This Item

(This is a dual-band TB...)


“Olá, eu sou o
Erik, the half-a-Nokia (Part I).

Visite o meu meio-irmão:

(Part II)
"


“Hello, I'm

Estes dois TB's foram criados como uma homenagem ao sketch "Fish License" dos Monty Python, onde aparece a música "Eric, the Half-a-Bee" que conta a história de uma abelha de estimação (chamada Eric, como todos os animais nesse sketch) que foi cortada ao meio por acidente.

Embora siga o tom surreal e disparatado dos Monty Python, a música levanta algums questões filosóficas sobre a possibilidade da existência de "meia-entidade":

 

 

These two TB's were created as a tribute to the Monty Python's "Fish License" sketch featuring the song "Eric, the Half-a-Bee" about a pet bee (called Eric, as every other pet in this sketch) that was cut in half by accident.

Although surreal and generally nutty as expected, it does raise a few philosophical questions about the concept of "half-entity":

 

(Em tradução liberal seria algo do género:)

Eric a meia-abelha

Meia abelha, filosoficamente, não deve, pelos próprios factos, meia ser.
Mas meia abelha, deve ser,
comparado com a sua entidade – está a ver?

Mas pode uma abelha
dizer-se ser
ou não ser
uma inteira abelha
quando metade da abelha
não é abelha
devido a uma lesão antiga?

Cantando...

”La dee dee, 1 2 3,”
Eric a meia-abelha
”A B C D E F G,”
Eric a meia-abelha

 

 

Eric the half-a-bee

Half a bee, philosophically, must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee
has got to be,
vis-a-vis
its entity - do you see?

But can a bee
be said to be
or not to be
an entire bee
when half the bee
is not a bee
due to some ancient injury?

Singing...

La dee dee, 1 2 3,
Eric the half a bee.
A B C D E F G,
Eric the half a bee.

Será esta feia semi-abelha,
meia a dormir no meu joelho,
algo bizarro do zoo?
Não! É Eric, a meia-abelha.

”Fiddle dee dum,”
”Fiddle dee dee,”
Eric a meia-abelha.

”Ho ho ho,”
”Tee hee hee,”
Eric a meia-abelha.

Adoro este empregado da colmeia
bissectado acidentalmente
numa tarde de verão por mim
Amo-o carnalmente.

Ele ama-o carnalmente... [todos]
...semi-carnalmente

[falado]

Fim

 

Is this retched demi-bee,
half asleep upon my knee,
some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's Eric the half a bee.

Fiddle dee dum,
Fiddle dee dee,
Eric the half bee.

Ho ho ho,
Tee hee hee,
Eric the half a bee.

I love this hive employee-ee-ee
bisected accidentally
one summer afternoon by me
I love him carnally.

He loves him carnally... [together]
...semi-carnally

[spoken]
