Veronique <veroniqueunique@yahoo.com> writes: [to George_Kleist] > Aside from blonde wig, Y chromosome, and complete lack of sheep,... Sheep? What's up with this thing women have with whimsical personal themes? These motifs usually involve animals, but sometimes flowers and vegetables. I first started noticing this phenomenon about ten years ago, when a couple of users in the building I supported named their workstations "zebra" and "dalmatian." In both cases, their offices were packed with cutesy, appropriately-themed knicknacks: statuettes, posters, that sort of thing. A friend of mine is hung up on eggplants. Just as you refer to your abode as Chez Sheep, she calls hers Chateau Abergine. I went to a party at her apartment one time, and her front door was marked for the occasion with an actual eggplant hanging by a string. (I thought it was intended as a knocker, so I lifted it and let it drop. It made a soft "thud" which no one inside heard, so I ended up knocking in the conventional manner. Oh, well...) Is this unique to American women, or is it a universal female thing? Geoff -- "That's right; spelling isn't important. Neither is grammar, or clarity of speech.

It probably derives from the same urge that impels women to put stuffed toy animals in their cars. Geoff -- "That's right; spelling isn't important. Neither is grammar, or clarity of speech.

I dunno about other women's avatars, but in my case the sheep thing is an extended practical joke (explained at one point in ascf). The problem with being perceived as collecting *anyting* is that eventually "anything" comes to dominate one's life, especially if one has been unfortunately enough to be identified with easy kitsch (pigs and chickens pop right to mind.) Surely you also understand the difficulty of explaining my response to ol' George; I suppose I could have said, "Aside from the blonde wig, Y chromosome, brow ridges, Adam's apple, and rather large hands..." but it wouldn't have been nearly so amusing.

Of course. I'd been meaning to bring up the "personal avatar"[*] thing for some time. Your post was simply the one I chose to use as a springboard.

You're referring, of course, to the "stuffed white toy dog inside the rear window" thing. That's an ethnically-identifiable subset of the larger phenomenon. (You might've noticed that Orientals also tend to have boxes of Kleenex in the same location.) But I've seen cars with plush-toy animals ensconced on the back seat, atop the dash, etc. A friend of mine used to have a small plush-toy animal of some sort zip-tied to the roll cage of his race car. It's name was "God." This allowed him to tell people that "God is my copilot." (Racing people are weird.) > Ah, how I miss driving in Milpitas.

Well, as a matter of fact, more women than men *do* name their cars. I think it derives from the same instinct that impels them to "cute up" their vehicles with stuffed toy animals: an emotional need to anthropo- morphize them which arises out of a vague discomfort with inanimate machines. It's the nurturing instinct at base, I suppose. So why would anyone name a VW Beetle "Batray?"

Dunno. When I was working on our cars. I'd sometimes give them names of the moment. Names like BASTARD and PIECE OF SHIT. This was usually when I was working on them and things weren't going well. This happened most often while living in The Mountains, 20 minutes from the nearest (poor) parts store, when it was cold and wet and I was under the car, in the mud and greasy water dripping in my eyes. Seldom when we lived in The Pit. -- "Who we are and who we become depends, in part, on whom we love." -- "A General Theory Of Love" Thanks, Mom ______________________________________________________________ Glen Appleby glena@armory.com <HTTP://www.armory.com/~glena/>

See, we were in Monterey, and had just been petting the batrays in the touchtank earlier that day, and I mentioned to her stepgrandmother who'd been putting us up that I was looking for a Karmann Ghia or Beetle, and she was taking care of a little old man who'd had a stroke and lost his short-term memory and couldn't drive and had a Bug that had been sitting for four years, and we went to look at it and the rounded nose of Beetles is not unreminiscent of the rounded nose of Batrays and so...

Yeah, but when Glen took the l-o-n-g way into town, passing various telephone booths and clinics and fire stations, hoping Kathy would bleed out on the floorboards of the Van o' Death, she didn't.
