The Fruit Formerly Known As Apple.

P1130617



AND: As Meade points out in the comments, the image from the Super Bowl is more apt:

Prince

Something about the directionality of the phallic extension.

At the Super Bowl (of fruit formerly known as apple).

If you're starting to post pictures of amusing fruits and vegetables, be prepared to start tagging things NSFW pretty quickly.

There will be photos of oddly shaped potatoes and eggplants and carrots in your email forever.

In Althouse's 12/9 post ""In place of the WWII aviator who narrated the book, the film’s hero is a little girl in a headband, plagued by her math homework in the modern day." I commented:

"
The musical artist Prince, who stands 5 feet, 2 inches tall, while the height for the average American male is approximately 5 feet, 10 inches. Despite this, Prince also changed his name for a period of time. From Wiki:

"1993 also marked the year in which Prince changed his stage name to the Love Symbol (see left), which was explained as a combination of the symbols for male (♂) and female (♀).[66] In order to use the symbol in print media, Warner Bros. had to organize a mass mailing of floppy disks with a custom font.[70] Because the symbol had no stated pronunciation, he was often referred to as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince", TAFKAP, and "The Artist"."

So.

"The Book Formerly Known as The Little Prince."

It is obvious that I planted the subliminal seed that causes Althouse to see 'The Symbol' in the apple. There can be no other answer: I have that kind of power. Thus this should have a "Laslo Spatula" tag.

I am Laslo.

The Prince icon says: Trumpet your inner trans!

My first thought seeing the image on the apple was "Tinkerbell."

Do you find that uplifting?

I happen to know the woman who designed that symbol for Prince. She worked for Paisley Park at a time when Prince was in trouble with the IRS.

Or... a baby's arm holding an apple!

"What do you want from life?"

That reminds me of a joke about a young man, a whorehouse a tree and a squirrel. You don't suppose the young man was Prince....

Anyway, I came here to use your Amazon portal for important stuff, and more time wasting...

I was at a Superbowl Party when Chicago played Indy and Prince did the halftime show. When the phallic shadow images came up on the screen, I pointed out to everyone exactly what Prince was doing. He started stroking the guitar during the Purple Rain solo. I said, "Look at this guy. He's masturbating in front of the whole world".

My friends thought I was the one that was nuts and reading to much in to it.

As they say... when you're the smartest guy in the room, you're in the wrong room.

Head slap!

I've seen that apple photo a zillion times today and just got it. I was wondering why Althouse posted it.

Oh well. I enjoyed the other posts.

What the hell is that, a brown paper bag, a giant pile of poo, or Richard Dreyfus's mashed potatoes from Close Encounters of the Third Kind?
