in an allusion, what do we want for christmas?
JohnGot a new poll up here at Sticks — and you best be quick to vote, because those shopping days are counting down to a precious few! What does Tampa Bay want for Christmas?!
Loading ...Before you jump ahead and vote for OTHER because you got no clue why we’d suggest a train set, a fruitcake and a new baseball glove as gifts — these responses are all allusions to other things.
A train set, of course, is alluding to mass transit and rail. A gift card? A stronger economy. Fruitcake with less nuts? Well, seeing fruitcake is a tough holiday treat to swallow as is — we’re talking about government there. “Less nuts” should seem obvious.
Lego blocks? Development. A new hockey stick? Anyone paying attention to the Tampa Bay Lightning’s woes this season will understand the reference. And baseball MITT? Something that surrounds the ball itself — we’re talking stadium…
Of course, there are other allusions for local wants and needs out there that we can’t even begin to imagine — thus the OTHER selection. We’d love to hear your ideas in comments.
