dlh:
brother catdoc, got any more of those carrot
growing stories? Seems as if this cruel mom
told her adolescent son that his carrot would
not grow, LOL
catdoc:
Not just his mom, dlh
dlh:
ah, his dad and sister too. I bet he showed
them. His name, when he grew up, was Johnny
Holmes [John Holmes was a porn thespian, famous
for his 14 inch, erm, acting ability.]
catdoc:
brother. [quotes a lyric from the Carrot Seed
Song] "And his big brother said "nyaah nyahh
it won't come up, nyaah nyahh it won't up come,
I told you so, I told you so, your carrot won't
come up".
dlh:
catdoc, how did you find that site?
catdoc:
I had that record when I was a kid - singing
the story to my girlfriend to make her laugh,
then thought I'd see if it could actually be
proven to exist, and wasn't just some fevered
dream
dlh:
Freud would have loved that story
dlh:
sounds like a great pick up line catdoc.
catdoc:
you figure girls are going to go for a guy who
says "Mothers know a lot of things, little boys
can't know - and mother knows your carrot seed
might never, never grow"?
dlh:
lol, well, maybe not
dlh:
too bad a little mp3 [downloadable music] file
did not exist at that site that you could click
on and listen to that little perv song
catdoc:
Maybe it's on Napster? I don't know - I don't
think my parents still have the record, but
who knows what's in that basement
catdoc:
I think maybe I should go down to the local
comedy club on "professional's night" - I think
the Carrot Seed Song alone would make me famous
eadon-com:
I came in half way through your carrot conversation.
sounded like an interesting carrot conversation.
dlh:
eadon, did you not see the carrot song site?
eadon-com:
no dlh, please pray do tell me the url
dlh:
catdoc has it
eadon-com:
catdoc please pray do tell me the url
catdoc:
http://www.ksu.edu/english/nelp/purple/miscellaneous/carrot_seed_song.html
dlh:
be sure to read the words of the song eadon
catdoc:
read only the words - the rest is just blether
dlh:
there is a carrot seed site with FAQ, LOL
catdoc:
Just think, dlh, eadon is having little revelation,
at this very moment. It's kind of thrilling
dlh:
moms sure know how to hurt a little tyke growing
up there catdoc
catdoc:
"Oh, I get it .... sometimes ... your carrot
just doesn't grow. Well, gee that sure takes
a load off".
dlh:
I would rather hear my dog died than to hear
my carrot would not grow as a young man
eadon-com:
[having just read the Carrot Seed Site] quite
remarkable
catdoc:
Women all need to learn that song, and instead
of saying "No, that's ok, really ... I don't
mind", they could sing "Mothers know a lot of
things ... .". Or "nyaah nyaah it won't come
up", according to mood.
eadon-com:
"Your carrot won't come up" lol
eadon-com:
so what does it all mean? [asks with irony]
dlh:
yeah, that little sister or brother was particularly
nasty
dlh:
I loved the illustrations that went with the
record too
eadon-com:
most song lyrics don't read too well. The Carrot
Seed Song is a noble exception
catdoc:
You'd love the song, dlh. It has sound effects,
of weeds being pulled, and water being piddled.
dlh:
I have seen many things nyaaaaa nyaaaaaaad in
my life, but never my carrot, sigh, LOL
catdoc:
lucky - I doubt you'd get over it'
dlh:
woah catdoc, LOL
dlh:
the weed pulling and watering all have important
significance. It is a repressed urge after reading
Deuteronomy 25 [Old Testament] Psychologists
call it "transference"
catdoc:
It just means, don't be disappointed if your
carrot doesn't grow, eadon.
catdoc:
Actually, it's sort of a smarmy version of the
rubber tree plant song
catdoc:
with weird 50's Freudian overtones
dlh:
what is the rubber tree plant song like?
eadon-com:
Oh thanks catdoc, I was expecting nothing more
;)
eadon-com:
In my quest for the carrot song I uncovered
another carrot song!
eadon-com:
hey guys this other carrot song is a masterpiece
too!
dlh:
lol eadon, what is its site?
eadon-com:
http://www.ksu.edu/english/nelp/purple/miscellaneous/carrot_seed_song.html
[opens in a new window]
catdoc:
You know - ants can't move rubber tree plants?
eadon-com:
That song is profound. I realise now that carrots
are symbolic of Satan's temptations. Notice
also how both carrot songs concern mothers
catdoc:
yeah, there's a little something there, with
mom saying about the magic powers of carrots,
and him lasting all night
dlh:
dang, the [downloaded] song was buffering but
not playing, LOL
dlh:
now we know the forbidden "fruit" was Adam's
carrot eh?
catdoc:
what song, dlh - the kids one, or the grownups
one
dlh:
the one you told me of eadon
dlh:
carrots help you "see" at night eh?
dlh:
the mystical inward carrot
catdoc:
It's playing for me ...
catdoc:
piano intro
eadon-com:
I think you are on to something with Adam's
"fruit" there dlh. Perhaps the Apple was a mistranslation
from the Ancient Hebrew for carrot
dlh:
lol eadon
dlh:
be careful of that site too, it is titled Grandma's
"Back Door" lyrics. lol
eadon-com:
rofl
catdoc:
I bet this guy heard the other carrot song when
he was a kid. Maybe forgot. But it was back
there in his subconscious, telling him that
if he watered it, and pulled the weeds ...
Dudge:
listening to the carrot song now (eadon's)
dlh:
ah, it is playing now, quite peaceful
Dudge:
what was the other?
dlh:
it is good to listen to peaceful songs once
you know your carrot is not growing
eadon-com:
There is something disturbing about that picture
on the cover of the children's carrot song
catdoc:
The big carrot on the wheelbarrow?
eadon-com:
yes
dlh:
rofl eadon
catdoc:
I have seldom needed auxiliary mechanical aids
for my enormous carrot.
eadon-com:
Well his carrot had obviously come up
dlh:
roflmao [roflmao in an acronym for rolling on
floor laughing my ass off] catdoc
dlh:
I have never had such a good laugh
catdoc:
I don't have Napster loaded up any more - can
someone check and see if the Carrot Song exists
out there? It's a long shot, but you never know.
dlh:
the carrot song taps into a man's deep inner
psyche for sure
Dudge:
It's not on the server I'm on, catdoc.
Dudge:
But that doesn't mean it won't be there if you
log on, or if I log on again.
eadon-com:
Dudge's carrot won't come up :)
dlh:
lol
dlh:
my wife tells me I am wheezing I am laughing
so hard
Dudge:
got asthma, dlh?
catdoc:
it's good for you, dlh.
Dudge:
Very witty, eadon.
eadon-com:
>genuflects to Dudge<
dlh:
didn't think so Dudge, at least until I saw
the Freudian significance behind eadon's and
catdoc' s interpretation of the wheel barrow
pic
dlh:
I wonder what Carl Jung would think of that
song and pic. Or, would have thought
catdoc:
I think Jung would have all bored and grown-up.
It's too Freudian, and it would have bugged
him.
dlh:
I bet there is a comparable song concerned moms
sing to their young daughters
catdoc:
Jung didn't have the greatest sense of humour
in the world
eadon-com:
Perhaps Jung's carrot wouldn't come up
dlh:
lol eadon [LastKnight arrives]
dlh:
brother LastKnight is a big carrot man, I will
show him the site-----------
LastKnight:
carrot? lol
dlh:
http://www.ksu.edu/english/nelp/purple/miscellaneous/carrot_seed_song.html
dlh:
check out that site LastKnight
dlh:
a mom told a young man his carrot was not going
to grow
dlh:
and the young man's sibling threw in his/her
two cents worth too
Dudge:
Is it just me, or does anyone else see all of
these "carrot" references as a bit shallow?
eadon-com:
You should plant your carrot deeper Dudge
dlh:
lol eadon
Membrane:
wow dlh
Membrane:
know what?
Membrane:
there's an interesting story behind that book.
dlh:
the carrot book Membrane?
Membrane:
When I first came to the U.S., my aunt started
teaching me English. I was 5 years old. "The
Carrot Seed Book" was the first English book
I had ever read!!!
eadon-com:
gosh
dlh:
really Membrane?
Membrane:
Yep.
dlh:
amazing
Membrane:
I remember aunt going to fridge pointing and
saying........ cccccaaaaaaaaarrrrrooooottttttt.
dlh:
lol
eadon-com:
Membrane, did your carrot come up?
Membrane:
I got a carrot bigger than all of yours.
