Stone
"The stone" is a reoccurring theme within much of Pink Floyd's music. It's a touching concept to me that I think we all can relate to and I would like to offer my understanding of the meaning behind it. From Richard Wright's composition on Ummagumma, the name Sysyphus referred to a Greek king whos "punished for his deceitfulness by being compelled to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this action forever." The spelling is different on the Wikipedia in comparison to the album (spelled sisyphus on Wiki) but I conclude it is the same meaning. It is ever prevalent in their songs on multiple albums and in similar contexts. The phrase, or reference to "the stone" is the heaviest on Animals (which is the heaviest album of theirs IMO) but appears as early as More (which is heavy in itself at times). I like to think that throughout Floyd's history they have always expressed a struggle or burden, but they just keep rolling the boulder up the hill. "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way." Of course there are less positive and more positive outlooks depending on the context of the use. "Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home" is a little more warm and hopeful than "Who was found dead on the phone. Who was dragged down by the stone."
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Nice cup! Seems to be a quality piece.
EVERY mug I have ordered online through Urban Dictionary has exceeded my expectations! Each (5) is of a very high quality: Clear/Clean printing (ink, color, sharpness, clarity), and Outstanding craftsmanship ("feels" good to hold, and you can tell it "ain't made cheap"). Your company should be proud, indeed.
The Urban Dictionary is a unique place to find anecdotal memories on all sorts of stuff. Their ongoing communication once your order is placed is excellent. I have put in a significant number of orders recently, and the communication regarding my order status is excellent. I have had one order misplaced in transit. They have contacted me to say that they will get back to me, but to this point, they have not. So, that's a bit of a caveat in my rating. Overall, I would rate their products and customer service as good. I would not hesitate to deal with them in the future. Fill Your Boots with Whatever You Want to Order. Nice job, "Urban Dictionary."
It is special to have a mug that has to do with my dad who invented a word when we were growing up. He passed away last year. Drinking from this mug is like spending time with him.
My brother Tom became an uncle & urban dictionary created a wonderful uncle Tom mug…
I loved it! Excellent quality!
It’s great to be able to create your own mug.
Great cup. Thanks for personalizing the message
Cool
I ordered 4 of your mugs -- and have received 3; hopefully, the 4th is on its way! So far, I've received "fame," "620," and "$" ... only needing "hulo." ...It might be a matter of me being patient, that the 4th mug is on its way. However, the 3 received SO far are all EXCEPTIONAL, in every way!!! Mark Moilanen
