An old bit of geekery

[sienamystic]

An AIM conversation held last Feb. Not sure what reminded me of it.

The SienaMystic Players would like to present an exerpt from a new production. We call it "AIM Conversations between Two Art History Geeks." Today's chapter: Stigmata, Pee, and Genitalia.


littlehussy: I had a discussion about pee today, at Penn! An ivy league school! Yeah, that's right, pee!

Sienamystic: What did it entail?

littlehussy: high-borw and low-brow, simultaneously, I Like it!

littlehussy: pee

littlehussy: do I have to elaborate?

Sienamysticc: Well...um...

Sienamystic: no, I suppose not.

littlehussy: we had an awkward moment in our class the other day

Sienamystic: was this pee-related?

littlehussy: one of the boys asked why a medieval print of the wound in Christ's side looked like female genitalia (it was a red mandorla, basically)

littlehussy: and the prof was like, well, uh...

littlehussy: the shape... and the color....

littlehussy: it was embarrassing for him.

Sienamystic: oh, squirm

littlehussy: like dad teaching a lesson

littlehussy: hhahahahha

littlehussy: well, son, when two people love each other very much....

Sienamystic: they get stigmata!

littlehussy: hhahhahaha!

Sienamystic: I think I'm going to hell

littlehussy: pretty much.


I never did get to hear about the pee story.
