Dallas Cowboys - The men symbolize the mirrors of a solar tower. The yellow thing is the sun. The funny thing about Australian/American solar tower technology is that the unit on the top of the tower gets as hot as the sun. Please see picture on right.
Philadelphia Eagles - Sort of a simplified form of the word "Eagle". There is a paired element in the actual word for eagle which has been removed, reflecting Phila management's 2007 quarterback decisioning.>
New York Giants - In trying to think about how high Gothamites are, in general, it doesn't really pay to spend time wondering about it. It will suffice to merely note that they are high on life, and to then move on. And by Gothamites I mean Superman, Batman, Blue Man Group, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John and Suzyn at WCBS, et cetera. The thing about this one is that the major right-hand element is the "NAI" in "Nigeria", which resembles "NYG" phonetically. And, one could picture it as a very happy person riding a bicycle with both legs out to the side, meaning a kind of happiness that might be de rigeur in both Gotham and in Lagos. SW Nigeria is a very Yoruba place, and one can sense the tension between Yoruba happiness and Yoruba grittiness in the career of Wanda Sykes, to name one person. Unfortunately this is as far as my African Studies scholarship can currently take me. This word looks like a normal Chinese word.
Washington Redskins - A commentary on Hollywood's strange effect on US politics, including elections. The weakest offering on this page so far. This word is from the dictionary, unlike most of the words on this blog, which have the status of words like "Panasonic", "Dischord", "Dorito", "Aqua Velva", "Blackalicious", "Krunk" and the like. Actually, "Krunk" is now in the dictionary. At any rate, the word here is "Woman", and I am specifically thinking of Washington's lack of involvement in the ongoing affairs of the country of Myanmar, which involvement should be a priority as Britain has had a very difficult time speaking sanguinely to this nation, of which it is the primary agent to the West, especially in regards to the career of Aung San Kyuu Kyi, a Londoner/Myanmarese who has not benefited from Britain's inability to bring Myanmar into the modern diplomatic world. Phew. For the fast track on what this word "really means" picture the horizontal element as a tabletop, think of a man's lap on the left and a woman's arm on the right and think of Jethro Tull's immortal line from "Locomotive Breath": "...and the all-time winner's..got him by the balls...". Can you see it? Can you? Chinese is so amazing. I suppose if this team was going somewhere it would behoove me to talk more about the onfield talent, but as it is, one shouldn't miss an opportunity to move the Chinese Curriculum along. My original concept for WAS was "OLD MAN TAKE A LOOK AT MY LIFE".
