The Quest for Depth

Or, How to Make a Homemade Submarine.

Quote:

"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

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.

Remember her well...always had the ability to make a young uns 'periscope' rise

I've pixelated the shot to save yer blushes

You weren't that collector were you?

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.

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....

WTF? I'm into subs because I wanted to make out with a woman old enough to be my grandmother?

Neal this is getting too weird.
