I guess I don’t see the huge significance of that?? If it’s the devil or antichrist, it’s not Mary’s baby, and “Rosemary’s baby” doesn’t imply an opposite…??
…and you shouldn’t have mentioned it, because now I have to rebut you. 
All those things happened because Kris was the real deal. You think all that stuff would have lined up so nicely if Kris was just some potty old dodger from the old-age home? 
Yes, he’s a nice old man who knows how to read the real estate section of the paper. I don’t understand why you think it’s any sort of coup de grace. The house wasn’t free or anything. You think on any given weekend you couldn’t find at least one house for sale in the greater metro New York area with a swing in the back?

A house that looked exactly like the one in the picture that Susan had been wishing for?
I’ve seen the Infiniti car logo for years, but only a few months ago did my feeble brain cells finally grasp that it’s a road going off to infinity . . .
I meant to ask about this when it was mentioned in another thread. I thought the thing was the “rose” part as meaning “Mary’s baby arose” but it still doesn’t make much sense to me. Please 'splain to my dense self:confused:
I just thought she meant that it was a play on Mary. Mary, Rosemary. If there’s something more to it, then I’m also dense.
Considering the fact that he had no way to get to the house, yes. Kris didn’t drive, and he was only available to get there the night after the trial, when there was no one available to drive him (the characters were all with family).
Since he left his cane – it’s too much a coincidence otherwise – he had to physically be in the house. Kris did not have a car – it was specifically mentioned he took a train into the city before he moved in with Fred.
Further, Kris wanted to make sure Susan and Doris believed in him. He did not fully get that confirmation until Christmas morning, when Doris said* “I was wrong when I told you that, Susie. You must believe in Mr. Kringle and keep right on doing it. You must have faith in him.” His wanted Susan to believe in make believe and miracles; Susan did not until then. If he had gone to the house on Christmas Eve (even though logistically impossible), he would have given her the house without her believing in Santa.
*Her note on Susan’s letter was “I believe in you,” not “I believe in Santa.” Major difference.
I’ve owned Subarus for years…and only recently found out that “Subaru” is Japanese for Pleiades, hence the logo.
I was just now at the gym on the treadmill, watching a re-run of “Will & Grace” when it suddenly struck me that the names of the two characters (and the series) is an ironic twist:
The character Eric McCormack plays is smart, successful, handsome, but a big pushover. He always knuckles under to Grace and Jack, objecting to their many outrageous demands on him but constantly doing what they want him to do. He’s intimidated by his mother, and must often be coaxed into standing up for himself. He has no WILLpower.
The character Debra Messing plays is a sexy, but extremely neurotic red-head, prone to shrill outbursts. She has no qualms about making huge public spectacle of herself on a routine basis. She is severely lacking in social GRACE.
Will & Grace. Or rather “weak-willed & graceless.” Heh.
I still don’t get what Daddypants is talking about re: the A in Audi A4, etc. Can someone explain?!?
And “Mitsubishi” is Japanese for “three diamonds,” hence its logo.
It’s also a stylized figure-eight infinity symbol. But maybe you got that part.
I’d like to go ahead and put in a request that the Miracle on 34th Street issue be taken to its own thread where it can get the breathing room it needs.
Not about a work of art, but I’d been reading posts by the SDMB’s own Ellis Dee for at least four years before I realized (upon hearing the name spoken) that “Ellis Dee” = LSD.
I didn’t either till just now. Doh.
:smack: Um, no, I didn’t. Over the years, every now and then when seeing the logo, the thought would flit across my mind as to why a car named “Infiniti” had a stylized “A” in a circle for it’s logo . . .
But in defense of my brain cells, I had no trouble spotting the arrow in the Fed Ex logo.
Oh, c’mon. “Making love in the green grass, *behind *the stadium with you…” You don’t have to be Fellini to get the symbolism.
OK. I knew who General Lee was. I knew what the Confederate flag looked like but…
I watched most of the Dukes of Hazzard before putting 2 and 2 together.I
Backfield in motion…?
I’ve posted this one before, but it took many years of listening and not hearing before I realized Scarborough Fair is about impossible demands:
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
Without no seams nor needlework
