Name That Tune meme! (sans iPod!)

I don't have an iPod, but I did this anyway! The process involved generating random numbers with an Excel spreadsheet ... .

Like everyone else, I skipped things that weren't in English.

Because Everything Reminds Me of Saiyuki: The Rosh Hashana Edition

So at the morning Torah service, the Rabbi was talking about the story of Hagar and Ishmael being sent off into the desert by Abraham on Sarah's say-so. And he was discussing the fact that when Sarah talks, she never calls either Hagar or Ishmael by their names: it's "that woman" and "her son."

Which, of course, reminds me of Hakkai's telling observation, in Reload, that Hazel never calls any of the youkai/part youkai members of the ikkou by their names.

Because, as Rabbi said (direct quote), "It's much easier to demonize someone that way."

(Of course, that's also how Gojyo's stepmother always refers to Gojyo's real mother in the flashbacks: "That woman!")
