In this wide random world full of stuff and stimuli, there's some things that just go together in your mind. Oh, you know it to be true -- is it that rubber-rainboot yellow that goes with the sound of rain? How about the smell of your grandma's house, which is the smell of peace of mind? Or the sound of seagulls, forever linked to that one special memory, the day when you -- ? No, no need to tell me. I can tell you know what I mean now.
They're not always quite so profound -- but like a good double feature, your brain will sometimes draw a line between two things in life and say to you, Here, look. Like the Sesame Street Martians and the Warner Brothers' Gophers. Both are pairs of tiny, unworldly little creatures in an us-against-the-world pairing -- one never without the other. This double duo exemplifies a common theme that has no name but now, thanks to one conscientious blogger, has a fan pic.
What "goes together" for you?
What "goes together" for you?
Mine is the smell of grapefruit and sunrises. Or the feel of a soft, warm blanket and the aurora.
ReplyDeleteI have a whole list of songs that can jerk me right back into a memory. And I love it when that happens. same with smells.
ReplyDeleteSesame Street has Martians? They must be a recent innovation occurring in the past few decades since I last saw the show. It looks a bit goofy and confused to me. What else goes together - a butt plug and a nipple clamp?
ReplyDeleteUm, maybe -- but even if they do, I wouldn't recommend them for a Sesame Street bit.
DeleteAren't these the Mah-nah Mah-nah martians? Haha - great drawing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat goes together for me? In relation to childhood, I'd say Pop-Tarts and cartoons. Somebody was making some in the work kitchenette the other day, and I wanted to plop down and watch 3 hours of Josie and the Pussycats.
I think these are the ones you're thinking of...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKULi72yUko
DeleteI would onomotopaeize these as the yupyupyupyupyup guys...or conversely, the nopenopenopenope guys, I guess! :) This one's always been my favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhKhGyUnc2E
I ALWAYS want to watch cartoons instead of work...guess that's pretty apparent by the fanart, though, huh? :P
Guacamole and more guacamole!
ReplyDeleteAnd if you've got a margarita, I wouldn't mind a glass...
