New Kids on the Ice

[brigdh]

OMG AM LEAVING FOR SYRIA IN LESS THAN TEN DAYS SO NOT READY.

In other news, today was the last day of one of my classes, and therefore everyone was giving presentations covering their projects. One girl, describing the Stone Age Venus figurines (things like the Venus of Willendorf), mentioned a couple possible theories for their purpose, including "Paleolithic erotica". And then she went on to describe her project.

But before the next speaker started, while we were waiting for the next presentation to load, one of my friends muttered, "Paleolithic erotica."

So I said, "Oh, baby." As you do.

She said, "Are you talking about the theory that they're giving birth?"

"No," I explained. "I am singing to the figurines." And I did. "Oh, baby, baby. You get me hot."

"Paleolithic boybands!"

I had to add to that. "New Kids on the Ice. With their hit single: Oh, baby, your pendulous breasts are so fine / I think about them when I am hunting reindeer."

And then I realized everyone was laughing at me, including the professor, and so I had to stop.

OMG SYRIA.

Today is the day for things of beauty on my flist, apparently. In other word, I am endlessly amused.

"New Kids on the Ice. With their hit single: Oh, baby, your pendulous breasts are so fine / I think about them when I am hunting reindeer."

I love it! It reminds me of the songs my friend and I would make up in astronomy class.

Hee! Glad to please.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee!

I'm excited to go, I just wish it was not next week, yanno? But I'm jealous of India! Take lots of photos.

Metaquote away!

You are awesome. Hee.

Lol. I had to cover the "Venus" earlier this semester, but we were not allowed to call it that, because they really weren't sure what it was for and apparently "Venus" was too closely associated with the goddess Venus.

I would like to mention that you made my day. I was reduced into a puddle of giggles. YOU WIN!

Sweet! What site are you digging at?

Well, you know. They had to reproduce, and there was no internet for porn, and that poor guys, freezing their arses off hunting reindeers... Absolutely natural. And Venuses had to got a great voices, what with chests like that, Arethas Franklin of that age, crooning sexily while gutting said reindeer. xD

That post easily rules my flist, thank you:D *still giggling*

Oh, and have a great time in Syria!

OMG Syria! \o/

And I bet New Kids on the Ice would be the next big thing. :D

It brings new meaning to the title "We Didn't Start the Fire".

Hahaha! Amazing!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee. I'm so pleased!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hahaha!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

OMG! I really need to post about it in more detail.

They so would!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Umm el-Marra (http://www.jhu.edu/neareast/uem/). I really need to post more about that, heh.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Oh, that's perfect.

And thank you! I need to post more about that.

Yeah, the story of the Venus term is long and complicated, but it's the one that most people (especially those who have not taken archaeology classes!) will recognize.

P.S> Oh my god, I would almost think you were in the class I TA'd this semester, because we seriously spent three weeks on the freaking origin of the term Venus and I am so sick of it.

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

Lol. No way, we spent about 30 seconds on that and went on to other things which I can't remember because it was chapter one. Probably the cave paintings and stuff.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

And Syria eeeee!

My art history prof was fond of using his lazer pointer to circle the breasts of female images while he said things like, "Note the large pendulous breasts."

Except he was really old, and kind of had a lisp, so the girl who sat next to me and I would laugh really hard in the back.

He also had bought a pocket-sized replica of the Venus of Willendorf which he apparently carried around in his pocket. Go figure.

So what did they call it, since apparently following the naming chosen by the rest of the scientific community wasn't a good idea? The Big-Tittied Chick of Willendorf?

[chaoswolf1982.livejournal.com]

Why'd he do it? Because "large pendulous breasts" is just damn fun to say.

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

Just the Woman of Willendorf I believe.
