$alesman $am by George "Swan" Swanson: "Guzz Gets a Jolt"
[ID: Sam Howdy stands in front of the store's delivery cart, hitching up the horse. He stands beside it, nervously contemplating the fact that he's just hitched the horse up backwards. Guzzlem jumps up and down in the driver's seat, clutching a riding crop and pointing angrily at Sam as his agitations knock product out the back of the wagon. A crowd of children gather behind Sam, laughing uproariously. /end]
Guzzlem: Sam, for th' lova Mike, you're hitching him up backwards and th' reins don't go between his legs. Dawgonit. I told yuh th' blinds don't go on his ears...
[ID: Guzzlem gets off the wagon and angrily bawls out the laughing children, still clutching his crop. The kids stop laughing for a moment. /end]
Guzzlem: Say, you kids oughta know better than to laugh at him. It's th' first time he ever harnessed up a horse.
Kid: We're not laughing at him.
Kid: We're laughing at YOU.
[ID: The kids start laughing again as Guzzlem jumps up and faints over backwards. /end]

Sicilian Cart, Carved and painted wood, metal, leather, 1857, made in Sicily by Arturo Vittoria Artellini
The tradition of painting horse or donkey-drawn carts appeared on the island of Sicily in the 19th century. Red carts often have decorations with war scenes. On this one, the decoration refers to Italian and Sicilian history including the plunder of Mantova and the history of Roger of Sicily.

Buggy's Name
From what I heard what Luffy means, something that Oda didn't even realize that Luffy can means 'To sail against the wind'
So, I was thinking about what Buggy's name could mean... Let's just say somethings weren't what I expected. Of course, the name Buggy has different meanings depending on its origin.
According to some sources, it is an English name that may be derived from a nickname or an occupational name for a maker of Bugee, which is a type of lambskin with the wool dressed outwards. The word Bugee may come from Middle English, meaning “a bug” or “a scarecrow”. Alternatively, it may be an Irish name that comes from Ó Bogaigh, a byname meaning “soft” and "tender". This could be related to the Irish word, which means “a marshy place”. Another possibility is that it is a variation of the Saxon names Bucge and Bogue, which are also ancient German and Scandinavian names. These names may be derived from Buggi, which is a Old Norse word, meaning “a bull” or “a ram”.
Then there's this and this
#there's probably more#I looking for the name meaning#as in if somebody was named Buggy | like Buggy is#I already knew that Buggy is a small horse-drawn cart | as well as a small motor vehicle - like a dune Buggy | and many other things#why did I do it?#I was bored and procrastinating#buggy the clown#buggy the star clown#buggy the genius jester#buggy the flashy fool#buggy thoughts#buggy babbles

#OTD in 1815 – Charles Bianconi, opens his first horse-drawn coach service, between Clonmel and Cahir, Co Tipperary, a distance of 10 miles.
Charles Bianconi was an Italo-Irish entrepreneur, a brilliant salesman and knew how to develop his brand. He is possibly the first person in Irish transport history who tried to brand his business; he engraved his automobiles, when no one else was doing anything like that.
After working as an engraver and print seller in Dublin, in 1806 he set up an engraving and print shop in Carrick-on-Suir,…

Had a massive crash and like, collapsed from exhaustion when I tried to shower after [checks notes] making a sandwich so once again lying on the floor reading or making an app read to me and Jan Kott's memoir of the neophyte Polish avant-garde generation studying abroad in Paris as impressionable youths is the funniest thing my mashed potato brain has ever encountered
#A bidet is like a woman#It goes up the tube and down the tube#I love cross-cultural exchange. This to me is the spirit of internationalism. Toilets and women#I always forget that the turn of the century was the turn of the century you know. Indoor plumbing WAS novel in 1908#Once went on a deep dive about the history of the flushable toilet and its patent process and like. We take so much for granted#Again talk about it constantly but was shocked by Stef's article re: horse-drawn carts clattering on cobblestone streets#But stepdad was born in 1940 and his milk was delivered by a guy in a horse-drawn wagon as a little kid!#Modernity IS a montage!

The thing the online train enthusiast types often don't think about is that for lots of people who live in rural areas, a train would be much less convenient than what they do already, which is drive everywhere, for lots of reasons.
#1. everyone would have to drive to the train station anyway so why not just keep going it'd be faster and more convenient#its not like the old days when the only way to get to these towns was trains and then horse drawn carts#2. it wouldn't make economic sense to have more than like 1-2 trains a day bc there's so few people so again. more convenient to just drive#on your own schedule#3. rural areas hate paying taxes LOL imagine how shitty those trains would be...#also can i be real with you all? public transportation sucks ass even when it's convenient because of The Public. sorry.

I had thoughts i can try to articulate about ep. 45, i might not be successful but I have two (2) major points.
One, the Tsarina's representitive:
He. Who Sariel trusts to handle this. Hmmm. Well, Rivaan? It can't be Rivaan. But...Very tall cloaked figure (i am physically shaking) i know this is Rivaan, I'm Freaking out. Sariel is sending her paramour to be her ambassador to the fey, great choice, trustworthy, and it's not her in a disguise. He's hot. He's polite. He's literally one of the highest ranking nobles and leader of the Tsarina's army. He's now in Cooper chopping vegetables. Rook approves of him. We get how the bedrooms in Cooper work. It's not what you think your perfect room is. Rivaan's room is Sariel's bedroom. It's Sariel's bedroom. It's Sariel's— Anyway I adore Rivaan and if anything happens to him I'll destroy this place.
Two, Aoife:
I'm thinking about fey nature slowly obliterating the mortal one, I'm thinking about Felix asking do you feel consumed. Did Aoife have any idea what she was doing? what it would do to her? what she would be giving up? There still is a mortal in there, maybe you can hold onto that mortal perspective a little longer. Felix's disgust at her mortal form. The reveal that the transition from mortal to fey isn't immediate and complete, that the mortal part of you will die slowly. When your family no longer recognise you and you realise that you aren't their daughter, sister, granddaughter anymore. When everyone you ever cared for has grown old and died and you don't know if you're capable of loving like that anymore.
#fate rivaan was there and significantly better than the bedazzled potato (tsar riardan)#i would die for rivaan now#i honestly thought for a minute that aoife and bartleby were going to f—*i'm hit by a horse-drawn cart going 2x the speed limit*#you know i LOVE all the tea about the nobility#gimme the faelyn tabloids#i'd eat that up#venture maidens favor#favor spoilers#duke rivaan#aoife flannery#venture maidens#venture maidens podcast#venture maidens spoilers

Hello there! Arch here, for you-might-guess-what.
So, iirc I asked a while back about the names of some jobs related to horses and such. Currently, I'm wondering if you know any specific or interesting names for things towed by horses?
Things towed by horses. You've got carriages and chariots, travois, wagons, caravans, plows, sleds, logs, trollies... To be honest I'm not a driver. However I did do a quick Wikipedia search and there are a bunch of very, very specific terms. Also, horses pull in specific patterns, and each of those patterns has a name as well. You have tandem pulling, pair pulling, troikas, unicorns, four abrest, 4 in hand, 6 in hand, ect.
Here are some driving vehicles:
Barouche: an elegant, high-slung, open carriage with a seat in the rear of the body and a raised bench at the front for the driver, a servant.
Britzka: A long, spacious carriage of four wheels, pulled by two horses.
Cariole: A light, small, two- or four-wheeled vehicle, open or covered, drawn by a single horse.
Chaise: A light two- or four-wheeled traveling or pleasure carriage, with a folding hood or calash top for one or two people.
Charabanc: A larger wagon pulled by multiple horses.
Ekka - a one horse cart of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Fiacre: A form of hackney coach, a horse-drawn four-wheeled carriage for hire.
Fly: A horse-drawn public coach or delivery wagon, especially one let out for hire.
Phaeton: a light-weight horse-drawn open carriage (usually with two seats); or an early-nineteenth-century sports car
Sulky: a very light two-wheeled cart for one person, especially used for harness racing.
Surrey: A popular American doorless, four-wheeled carriage of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, usually two seated for four passengers.
Tanga: a light horse-drawn carriage used for transportation in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
Tarantass or Tarantas: A Russian four-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle on a long longitudinal frame.
Tilbury: A light, open, two-wheeled carriage, with or without a top
Troika: a sleigh drawn by three horses harnessed abreast. Occasionally, a similar wheeled vehicle.
Vardo (gypsy wagon): a vardo is a traditional horse-drawn wagon used by English Romani Gypsies.
Victoria: a one-horse carriage with a front-facing bench seat. The body was slung low, in front of the back axle. Driven by a servant.
There are many more than I've listed here, these are just the ones that caught my eye.
#writing horses#driving horses#horse-drawn carts#I've only ever driven a few times#There's a pair of Belgian drafts belonging to a man I know#lovely team#but also so huge#I hope this answered satisfactorily

you know how kids tend to subconsciously adopt the mannerisms of their parents? i wonder how far back that stretches.
do i laugh like my great grandfather, because that's the way my grandma laughed, and my mom copied her?
does the way my dad make comedic sounds when he's driving actually originate with a distant uncle two hundred year ago, who made funny noises in the horse-drawn cart because it made his niece laugh?
i wonder which of my little mannerisms came from ancestors long passed, and i wonder which of mine will echo in family descendants long after i'm gone.
