'I'm always looking for the Hows and the Whys and the Whats,' said Muskrat, 'That is why I speak as I do. You've heard of Muskrat's Much-in-Little, of course?'
Fascinating. I looked at that and saw a crocodile looking at me. Then I saw what I would take to be the more obvious representation. It's fascinating. I could live with that which rather surprises me because I've always rather eschewed such ornamentation.
One of the disadvantages of not being able to hold images in my head is that I can't actually recall your front door because I didn't commit it to words.
I trust that rhymeswithplague will withdraw that comment. I see nothing 'dirty' in the female figure - quite the opposite. I thought it was so obvious that it just didn't need saying.
And, for the record, my mind is as pure as the driven slush.
Hm. I obviously didn't read GB's comment properly.
For 17 years I've lived in this house. In that time I've had a lot of opportunity to gaze at this door and the other four matching ones. Most of the time I've seen them as a vaguely organic, plant, possibly floral form. Sometimes I saw a ballerina. But I had a SKYPE the other day with my tutor and he could see the lounge door behind me, and remarked upon the 'female form' he could see. We definitely could have anther post here on 'perception' from a different point of view. Or maybe that's what GBS was talking about.
To kick it off, here's my take: Women need to gather the ripe berries and identify the leaf shapes so they don't poison the village by getting the wrong ones, so they are predisposed to see the plant forms. Men are predisposed to see the women shapes especially the ones with narrow waists and wide hips.

ReplyDeleteI have no idea what GB means by "the obvious representation"...I saw Daffy Duck (or at least a duck) looking straight at me.
ReplyDeleteI presume GB has a dirty mind. :)
Now I see a duck-billed platypus.

Men also see ducks and crocodiles because they must hunt ducks for food, and protect their families from crocodile shapes.
ReplyDeleteI guess you can eat platypusses (platypi?) too.
