Or, How to Make a Homemade Submarine. (http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/the-quest-for-depth/Content?oid=2983766)
"Nine-year-old boys are starting to contend with a lot of things about the adult world that they don't yet understand. Nine-year-olds start to become engrossed in designing and completing mazes, in making and solving puzzles, in figuring out how things work. And sure, there's usually a connection there to figuring out how sexuality works. Now, 9-year-olds can't have sex, so you think about plunging a submarine into the depths instead. It's a way of safely exploring the question 'Now how does this thing work?'"
I thought to myself, hmmm... I became interested in subs when I was around 8 or 9... but the most sex that I could conceive of then was a friendly hug from Barbara Eden.

I think he was dreaming of more the Jeannie :haha:
Anyhow what a bizzare article, talk about all over the map and such strange inferences and conclusions.
Still interesting to read.

But there's a direct connection here. Barbara Eden was also in the original movie of Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea.

Yes, Barbara Eden. Many a small lads dream as they watched I Dream of Genie.

...and if you think about it, the bottle she lived in was much like a submarine; cramped, cosy, secure, safe, and far away from the rest of the world. :hmmm:
What we all really want is to be sequestered away with a beautiful woman, one who will grant any wish, with nothing more than a blink. And how many of us struggled with the barely suppressed amazement that Major Nelson was such an indifferent dope to her? I wanted to slap him around and say, "Wake up, knucklehead! This is better than being an astronaut!"
You know, this could be a real significant psychological find--a generation of men who became interested in submarines from watching I Dream of Jeannie. Jeannie Syndrome: Our interest in submarines stems from the subconscious desire to plunge into the depths of wish-fulfillment....:06:

Back in the day when I was a wee lad....Barbara Eden was not a grandmother. :D She was so round, so firm, so fully packed. This was Barbara Eden as I remember her.

Yeah, amazingly enough, 40 years ago when I was a youngster, Miss Eden was 40 years younger too. :O:
But you guys are still missing the main point; it's not her looks that was really critical, it was her attitude--do anything, try to please, cute, charming...that's was her allure. I have spent 30 years searching for a woman who will call me "Master" and mean it. :shucks:

Hmmm. I wonder if my boyhood crush on Dawn Wells of Gilligan's Island fame is why I keep running my subs aground on uncharted isles in SH4. :hmmm: I can't Skip-her!

Idaho mug shots after pleading guilty in February 2008 to one count of reckless driving. Wells, 69, was arrested in October after cops allegedly observed her car swerving and speeding up and slowing down repeatedly. A search of her vehicle revealed two small cases used to store marijuana as well as four half-smoked jointshttp://www.thesmokinggun.com/mugshots/dawnwellsmug1.html

Not bad for a 69 year old woman! Too bad about the drug problem, though :(

You know, sometimes, a submarine is just a submarine.:|\\
But then again a group of us did call our boat the USS Canfucme, and referred to it as a big black...dildo:o
