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
Very basic mug but does the trick!
The mug is a gift for our Fantasy Football league winner…or loser. I'm not sure yet; it's a bit of a spoof that will be disclosed on Thanksgiving.
This will be the perfect gift this winter! It even came in a nice little box. The mug seems to be of good quality. It was a bit pricy, got to be honest, but it’ll be very well received.
Would have like the entire cup with purple color. Not just the part with the slogan. It's a nice cup!
It was fantastic very good quality.
The printing, the Word and it's definition -- were not quite what I expected. And the same word definition ordered on two different mugs, and yet each was described / defined differently.
This was easy to order although I wish the preview pics showed the next on both sides once you finish customizing. But I appreciated that if the text doesn't fit they email you and ask what you want it to say. Came out great and I can't wait to give it as a gift
Sent to a friend. He loved it!
Well printed, the mug's ceramic is of good quality, I'm not sure what else I can add. I am surprised it could be printed and shipped so quickly based on my earlier experience printing/kiln-firing/baking this kind of product. Well done.
Funny cup that my girl absolutely loved!
my partner thought it was very silly
I’m excited to have gotten it. I’m going to give it to a man at my church that volunteers this time and won’t stop working! So the inscription is perfect for him.
Easy to order and customize. Very tough, solid, and well-made. Nice and hefty in the hand.
Looked great and delivered fast.
urban dictionary is my personal lifeline to the divine, thank you for selling me a $35 coffee cup that I gave to friend, bought another and gave that another friend. Likely asking, rather in need of, a six or more discount code, for six or more gifts to friends! Xoxo
Perfect way to start my day!
The mug looks great and hasn't faded after multiple runs through the dishwasher. It microwaves well, and the text is sufficiently unruly.
The mug arrived very packed and on time. I love how well crafted the coffee mug is. I plan on ordering other merch from URBAN Dictionary soon. Thanks.
fantastic, personal gift to share with anyone!
Exactly as I ordered it. Shipping was perfect, got updates, accurate date of delivery, and no damage. This is a gift for my little brother.
