Topic: My Problem With Frosty | |
---|---|
The other day, I had a discussion with someone I know, about the line in the song "Frosty the Snowman," where it says something about he "was alive as he could be." The two of us decided that this was some sort of tautology and is basically useless for determining anything about the biological status of said snowman. Because if you think about it, everything and everyone is pretty much as alive as it can be. Look at a pair of shoes. They're as alive as they're ever going to get, which is to say not at all, unless there's some bizarre alterations made to the laws of physics, which, as I understand them, aren't due to change until sometime next August. Even if you try to look at this from the standpoint of the "Schrodinger's Cat" model of quantum mechanics, it still makes no sense. Sure, the snowman would exist in all possible states until an external observer showed up, thereby forcing a selection of states, either alive or dead; but since someone obviously wrote a song about him, the existence of observers is clearly indicated. I'm thinking people should put more thought into this stuff. |

Could be the fact that his eyes were lumps of coal....or the fact that he had no problem going out in public with no pants on.
Women tend to frown on that last one. |

Very seldom will a character of such greatness wear pants...ask Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny or even Fred Flintstone. All have found an understanding significant others. So it is not the pantless factor. In fact, I wouldn't trust the characters that DO wear pants. What are they hiding? |

He is only equipt with what a kid gives him and only has a short time each year Well, there's a "truth in advertising" issue here. I don't think he's a snowman at all. I think he's just PRETENDING to be a snowman. And "Frosty the Deformed Albino Who Sweats a Lot" might not make for such a great song title. |
