What I found most...An intriguing post, I must say. What I found most puzzle--and felt warranted a little more research--was the sofa. So, in the spirit of past students I've taught, I went on my 1-minute Google (insert ad here) search. <br /><br />Look at the treasure I found: http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-personality-sofa-the-hyde<br /><br />Yes, there is a split-personality sofa: the Hyde sofa, inspired by Stevenson's novella. Now what we know is that The Edge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Edge) bought a sofa. On the surface, a rather mundane and not terribly noteworthy event in one's life, aside from the fact that it has been noted in this blog. But do we really know WHAT kind of sofa The Edge bought? Is he harboring, or harbouring (as RL Stevenson would have put it), a secret? Perhaps a Hyde sofa sits in a basement lab, hooked to a still, pumping fluid into The Edge's veins prior to his werewolfian transformation into a bowling god...or monster (http://www.godsandmonsters.net/). It may be beer; it may be vodka, cream and coffee liqueur; it may be some concoction inspired by any number of Looney Tunes cartoons. Who knows?<br /><br />Yes, who knows. The Shadow knows. And "show[ing] its own complexity with the alternation of light and shadow," I think WE would know, too. But the sofa can't talk. Or maybe it can, but it remains that deep, dark, mysterious secret. What we do know are the Angry Strikes. And then The Edge completely losing it in the last game. (That's a good thing, right?) What more proof does one need? <br /><br />So Third Railers, in the words of Stephen King, RUN--don't walk--to your nearest furniture store and get the Split Personality Sofa! You may at first feel like you are at the crossroads making a pact with the Devil, but soon you will find yourself lighting up every alley in America. Your game will be creative, inspired, and 200+. And you, too, will be making little hops of joy and transferring mojo, like Erin. I mean, Erin MUST have a sofa too, right?Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340007635933804881noreply@blogger.com
