EBeaatch, I do love your weird-ass GIF's. You're a dog lover no doubt.

Weird as me, different flavor.

Bet you a dollar it originated in cartoons. Further bet it was Disney, or Warner brothers. Probably in WW2. Any takers?

Old West, and schoolhouses. Men's room / women's room.

The only reference I can find to the practice is in Eric Sloane’s The Little Red Schoolhouse: A Sketchbook of Early American Education. Discussing 18th- and 19th-century schoolhouses, Eric writes: “The woodshed was often a lean-to attached to the schoolhouse, but the most accepted arrangement was to place it between the schoolhouse and the privy, with a fence separating the boys’ entrance from the girls’. The ancient designation of privy doors was to saw into them a sun (for boys’ toilet) and a moon (for girls’ toilet).” Eric has supplied a sketch of both versions, showing the familiar crescent moon for the girls and a radiant sun for the boys.

By way of corroboration, I note here in my manual of semiotics that the moon “is usually represented as the feminine power, the Mother Goddess, Queen of Heaven, with the sun as the masculine.” Isn’t that just great? All this time you thought you were in there just doing your business and now it turns out you were participating in a pagan ritual.

From a 1972 book. An era of pagan interpretation of everything! Possibly hippie scholarship, more wishful thinking than research.

Could be so. I'll bet it's just as likely Tom & Jerry. Which could be from remembered school days in the 19th century, yes, or just a joke.

I actually found a few references to gender/Gaia, from different sources, when I did a duckduckgo search for "outhouse door moon". Seems to make sense to me, especially since it was still fairly common in those days to be a non-reader, so "MEN" and "WOMEN" on the doors wouldn't do much good for the common folk.

Non-readers could still count the letters to tell the difference, even non readers can usually count.
(unless the doors read "guys",&"gals")

Fer chrissakes; if you have an explosive case of Montezuma's Revenge, are you really going to stop and count letters on a sh*thouse door? For that matter, are you going to look closely at whether it has a crescent moon, a sun or Uranus carved in the door?

I sometimes think that an internet forum could complicate a peanut butter sandwich.

Smooth peanut butter is better than snake oil on soft bread.

From Killboy's website- the 3 wheeler demo and commentary are great, but he's really found some fun things to do as a photographer...

Gentlemen, he said,
I don't need your organization,
I've shined your shoes,
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards,
but Eden is burning,
either get ready for elimination,
or else your hearts must have the courage,
for the Changing of the Guard

Surely I've heard this song, but the lyrics I've never had set in my mind. One, two of the few things I do well is read and write.
Maybe ride.

Thanks, John.

"Sixteen years
Sixteen banners united over the field
Where the good shepherd grieves
Desperate men, desperate women divided
Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves

Fortune calls
I stepped forth from the shadows to the marketplace
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born
On midsummer's eve, near the tower

The cold-blooded moon
The captain waits above the celebration
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Whose ebony face is beyond communication
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid

They shaved her head
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo
A messenger arrived with a black nightingale
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil

I stumbled to my feet
I rode past destruction in the ditches
With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you

The palace of mirrors
Where dog soldiers are reflected
The endless road and the wailing of chimes
The empty rooms where her memory is protected
Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times

She wakes him up
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks

Gentlemen, he said
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning, either getting ready for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards

Peace will come
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Between the King and the Queen of Swords"


Bob Dylan

I've noticed that those who copy lyrics on the interwebzzzzz like to add/subtract JUST enough letters or words to avoid being sued.
I guggled ; ) the Snippet, ended up with a result. Might not be the author's exact original lyrics...

Heck, if they can Autotune a terrier's bark into a song, anything's possible... sadly.

"are you really going to stop and count letters on a sh*thouse door?"

I'll remind you the title of the thread is " Just Because"

Sheesh Crusty, you need to heal up & get back on two wheels soon. You're too good natured a fella to to be that cantankerous. I look forward to seeing you at HC.

Also, your'e absolutely right. If there was a peanut butter sandwich thread, it would indeed be, "complicated".

My friend Kyle and his boys...



Skip to 8:00 and you'll hear one that's familiar.

These boys ROCK it. Note the trade-off around 9:45 : ) They're also on harlemrivernoise.com. If you catch wind they're going to be near you...go see them, and tell Kyle that Joe from PegLeg says hi!

Spent all day yesterday binge watching the whole season of Nightflyers. amazing
Shades of 2001 and Aliens, quite a few plot twists and surprises.
Bummed but not surprised it only made one season...

Back to reality, got home tonight just before 9pm
