Well, this is a rather glum photo of one of my collages, which I believe I named something along the lines of The DayDream. I would now want to name it something more obscure, like TheAncient Philospher's Theorem Realized - which doesn't mean anything but sounds rather impressive. I plan to come up with a whole stock of pretentious, meaningless titles so that when I need to come up with a name for an exhibit, I can just close my eyes and pick one at random. Suggestions?
That set me to thinking about Sherlock Holmes and Watson. I think I remember some wordplay along these lines:
Watson: So it was a stomach ailment all along, Holmes?
Holmes: Alimentary, my dear Watson.
Watson: So that rude young man did it!
Holmes: Rudimentary, my dear Watson.
Watson: So it was heavy metals poisoning that knocked her off!\
Holmes: Elementary, my dear Watson . . .
And so forth. Ah ha! Maybe one title could be Sherlock Holme's Day Dream, with a companion piece, Sherlock Holme's Nightmare.
