Lions and tigers and bears oh my

Mar 08, 2004 20:26


I realized just now how important stuffed animals seem to be in my and my friends' lives. Take Katy's teddy, she loves that bear to death, Mandy makes him say things all the time and its just wonderful. Another one of my friends after having a rather disappointing argument with her boyfriend exclaimed that she would much rather have a giant stuffed bear than an apology. And from that came the un-named std dog. I saw the movie secondhand lion the other day, which i think i am in love with, that and big fish. Its this over cast of emotions that seem to best be expressed through nonhuman symbols. What does Winchester mean to me? My parents gave him to me, and he is soft and a wonderful teddy bear. What does Gina's giant lion mean? Or the std Dog? How does getting a pet lion make a little boys life better? What does a story of a big fish do to a man's life, mind and reputation? All I know is that if you drive along Bethel Road in Columbus and see a Lion, don't try calling the Zoo because all they will say is "Please stop calling, we have all our lions!"

Oh and PS- How I wish that archaeology was just one big show on the science channel, then I wouldn't have a test in it tomorrow that I haven't even begun to look at the material for. Oh how I love thee, science channel.
