What does the man represent?

Post by Guest » Fri Oct 10, 2003 10:17 am

Is the man an idol of a tribal society? or is it a symbol of post-adolesent angst? Is it different for each person? whats the man to you? anyone out there worship the man?

Is he named Stan? Will the hierphonic preistess promote his plan? Does he store his toe jam in a can? Will you drive if he bends over? Will he seek solace in a can? Tell the waiter I'd like to renegogiate this flan. I for one am not a fan.

You're right. I want no truck with any vengeful and angry gods.

I prefer, "Let's drink margaritas until we giggle" gods.
