  • Lets make up a story using the power of dice! Who can come up with the worst best story with the images the dice provide?....what story would you have done? What is your favourite type of sock? All random questions aren't they, but yet you are still reading this, just a CZcams description box, nothing more, nothing less, but yet we've got your attention now haven't we, so, um, yeah, enjoy the video....

      It's been fun to see how it evolved from two men meeting at a CZcams convention with only their relative age in common, leaving them apart from the young crowd, thus forming a bond that led to them collaborating with their CZcams channels as both were relevant to food in very different ways that somehow complemented each other. This led to a series, which led to a channel, which led to me making this pointless comment at 3AM. Hooray.

    An analysis of Eli's story:
    The woman is alone and wants a child. The bananas are phallic but useless, reminding her that she has no way of having a child. The man arrives and she thinks that he is a child, desperate as she is to be a mother. She offers him all she has (her bananas) and he cries, maybe out of gratitude or pity, and a flower grew. That flower represents the child that was born of their exchange. The end.

    • @vissenekku
      @vissenekku Před 3 lety +10

      I believe the flower in that moment is signifying fertility of this man. But it grows from his tears, showing that his fertility does not bring happiness. This implies that they would have a child.
      But obviously enough, this is something she has been longing for. She lives in a lighthouse full of bananas, which is pretty on the nose. But considering the audience, it needs to be a bit on the nose.
