lapsedmodernistwell, I woke up with the following page-from-a-book in my head, courtesy of Morpheus.
And I mean, it really seemed like a paragraph from a book, on a page, on paper, in my head. Half-adream, I thought, is this Tolkien? Then--no, there is no nudity in Tolkien,
anyway, it went like this:
Two hundred men were stripped of their clothes and sent out onto the road. But luck was with them, as they encountered a parade of dames, all clad in dresses made entirely out of silver coins. As the men tried to cover their shame, the dames laughed at them, merrily, then took pity of them and gave them some silver coins from their dresses. Then they all got married and lived happily ever after.
What does that mean?
I asked![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
theophile what he thinks that means, and he said "it means that you are a spaz."
any alternative interpretations?
Also, my vegetarian and vegan lj friends, what do you think about a TOFURDUCKEN? you could employ tofu, seitan, and tempeh...

Date: 2006-11-28 12:01 pm (UTC)The weirdest thing about it is that there's no way for the story to really continue (you have an ending line) and there's not too much that could go at the front - in order for that to be an ending to something it has to be rather short, since the men meet and marry their mates all in the same paragraphs. It's sort of a pocket fairy-tale.
