Postclassical Era Puns

Hi, theatre community! I'm doing a school project on the postclassical era and wondered if any of you knew any musical, big or small, that takes place during this time (basically 600-1450 CE). Thank you!

Cities such as Lamanai, Zaculeu, Coba, Chichen Itza, and others existed from the Classic period to the Postclassic, presumably preserving elements of Classic culture. Did they express any form of monumental inscriptions like the Classic Maya, or would writing have been mostly relegated to codices?

As an additional question, would the Long Count have only survived in codex form (if it did at all -- it's been difficult to find an in-depth history of the system online)?

There are quite a few issues with this new mode, and they make it quite frustrating to play

1. after a barbarian camp is cleared the progress bar can remain on screen for the rest of the game. While this is a minor nuisance, it is still possible to interact with the bar and for example a hire units from the barbarians. And please ignore the warrior monks, I built the wonder that gives them late in the game.

2. barbarians appeared to stop spawning after the classical age. In another post someone postulated that this happens as soon as the first camp converts to a city state. I can now say with certainty that this is not the case as a camp spawned after Ayutthaya formed from a camp in my game. Interestingly this was probably already in the medieval or Renaissance era. It is definitely rare for a camp to appear in the late game.

3. in a different game I had Kandy form from a camp near my territory, only for Dido to come across the ocean, conquer and then raze the city - it was that ring northwest of Kitu Kara. Then, at least 100 turns later, Kandy showed up in the list of city states again, but the only thing I could find when searching for it was the lone warrior right outside my territory. I could also send envoys to the city state, I did not try to declare war and kill the warrior. As you can see from the map I already had launched my earth satellite, so it wasn't hidden in the fog anywhere.

The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.

Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.

The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:

"What's sarong with that?"

I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).

His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.

--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)

--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.

I would have a daughter

But Bill kept the Windows

True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."

I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"

He responds, "it's dead grass."

I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"

.

.

.

He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.

You officially hit rock bottom

And then you will all be sorry.

No it doesn't.

Now it’s syncing.

He replied, "Well, stop going to those places then!"

She said how do you know he was headed to work?

I will find you. You have my Word.

“thank you for your cervix.”

...sails are going through the roof.

Made me smile

Mods said I'm a cereal reposter...

A taxi

But now I stand corrected.

Wait. Sorry, wrong sub.

Wookie mistake.

Theoretical Fizz-ics

Because you can’t ‘C’ in the dark

I said, “That makes two of us.”

so I had to ground him.

He's doing better currently.

And conducting himself properly.

An assassin

Me: Can we change the subject?

My wife: Okay. More chores around the house need to be done by you.

Who buys gummy worms hoping they’d taste as close to real worms as possible?
