The Birds and The Bees Pt2: Don't Worry Bee Happy

I had wanted to write this follow-up sooner, but I had to take a much-needed detour first. I found myself in Virginia for a recital put on by Melissa's dance school that explicitly incorporated the death/rebirth symbolism of the Easter/Spring period. Then we came back to NYC on a bus out of Newport News, VA. The address of the bus station? 317 of course.

We ended Part One of this series by touching on the Vonnegut book "The Sirens of Titan," which centers around the town of Newport, Rhode Island. Written in 1959, the book has a BlueBeam event, a man who is scattered across time and space gaining all sorts of knowledge and power who then builds a city on Mars. I'd be surprised if Alan Moore didn't lift 85% of the plot from this book for his "Watchmen," but maybe not all that surprised. At it's core, this sci-fi theme seems to be an attempt at explaining the ego-death experience. That is a universal challenge and where most of the symbols we look at lead us.

We have been looking at the repeated death/rebirth symbols for the last few months. But, we cannot have rebirth, let alone first-life, without "the birds and the bees." The public sex ritual of Tiger Woods and all he represents never disappoints to give us symbolic fodder and we can always count on the Nazi-antics of Drudge to spell it out for us:

Note the name Boehner (Boner), combining the political with the sex Wood, who now cannot perform (castrated like Osiris?) and leading us to the White House. All in 2010, the year of the Tiger, the year we make contact.

And, in case you missed this update to Pt1: Jesus wants to go to Venus,

it seems Jesus, the solar-powered SUN of God, really does want to go to Venus.

Now we have bees connected to space travel again. For actual space bees, let's take a peek at the Futurama episode "The Sting."

It opens with the robot Bender playing golf like our Tiger Woods on, what else, the 17th hole.

Bender then dons a bee costume for the trip to the space hive, where our cast enters a hexagon gateway.

Note the double B telling you to "Be the B" and the sexual overtones of the advertisement next to the episode. "Be the Boss, control your Staff!"

Here we see Fry killed by the sting of another Killer Bee, starting off our death/rebirth ritual.

Outside his funeral, this DNA-bearing spaceship-truck flies past, hinting at rebirth.

Later, Leela eats hallucinogenic honey and imagines that Fry is reborn out of the combo of DNA and Honey. We had already looked at the historical connections between honey and hallucinogens in the post Circumpunct Breakfast: Masonically Delicious! - see Terence McKenna and others for more on this.

She then imagines that the Jesus-resonating, reborn Fry takes her to his favorite planet, Venus.

In Leela's next hallucination, the cast of the show does a song and dance number singing "Don't worry, BEE happy," a variation on Bobby McFerrin's "Don't worry, Be Happy." While singing and dancing, they all die after being stung by bees - sorta like that Lady Gaga video. Nice disco-ball hexagons too.

Follow me on a tangent to look at the original Bobby McFerrin song, especially since his initials reunite the B & M that we have noticed again and again with the honey meme.

Notice the video set is two illuminated pillars beside an entrance to a smoke tunnel. It also has a holy trinity dancing in front of it, made up of Bobby McFerrin, Robin Williams (resonating Jake Kotze's favorite bird), and Bill Irwin (who we'll look at in a minute).

The video also gives us this shot of a financial meltdown (something we've seen a lot of in the the markets lately). I include this because in "Sirens of Titan" there is a stock market crash that the US President decides to stimulate his way out of with a new era of space travel. If you're living in the US in the year 2010, this may sound like a familiar scenario. Interesting.

Also noteworthy in "Sirens of Titan," is a spaceship called "The Whale." As I I had been looking at the fact that bees are perfect symbols for death/rebirth - bees have stingers and die after using them, they are potentially deadly themselves (see Killer Bees), but also are responsible for much life on this planet by pollinating the world's plantlife - I began seeing Bees and Whales as symbolically interchangeable, since there are Sperm Whales and Killer Whales. We also have "the belly of the whale" as a dark night of the soul or ego-death experience. So, when the spaceship called "The Whale" popped up in this book, I took notice.

This theory was validated when, in the Radio8Ball show that synced so strongly in Part One, Twig Palace sings her song "Little Finger." She sings a line that reminds us of Lucky's four magic charms and Elton John's Levon, "Let's blow up big balloons and send them soaring into outer space." The next verse has the people reincarnated as Bumble Bees. In the verse after that she sings, "If our honey lives don't suit us, let's be killer whales instead."

After making this connection, I saw an ad on the subway for a show called Whale Wars. If you have any doubt that the double "W" is an upside-down double "M," note that the station "AniMal Planet" has a highlighted "M" in the logo. The tagline on the advert and the synopsis on the animal planet website both read: "Whale Wars: It's not about whales. It's about 42 crazy die-hards with a mission."

So there's our ever-present 42 and this DVD case reminds us again that it's all about death and rebirth:

Oh, and my symbol junkies will love the logo of the "conservation society" those 42 people operate. Check it out:

Since Whales are Bees, and we're going with the "birds and the bees" theme, I next thought of the Tom Waits song, "Fish and Bird." Here are some of the lyrics:

Of a world that was so far away
And a song that we'd never heard
A song of a little bird
That fell in love with a whale

He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean'
And she said to him
'You never can live in the sky'
But the ocean is filled with tears
And the sea turns into a mirror
There's a whale in the moon when it's clear
And a bird on the tide

So, after all this, I saw a birdcage in the "Don't Worry, Be Happy" video, and said to myself, "Okay, there's our bird, where's the fish?" Well, I wasn't disappointed. As if summoned, a fishbowl falls out of the sky and Bill Irwin catches it, then places it next to the bird, where it belongs.

Wiki tells us that our third member of the Holy Trinity, Bill Irwin, has had a fascinating career. With roles in The Regard of Flight, Fool Moon, Waiting for Godot (alongside Steve Martin and Robin Williams), The Goat or Who is Sylvia?, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, My Blue Heaven, Lady in the Water, Across the Universe, Northern Exposure as "The Flying Man," 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Bye Bye Birdie. He is most known for his clown work, since graduating Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College in 1974.

Yep, that Ringling Brothers. The one we were just looking at in "Bread and Circuses." You know, the one with the OZ Stargate on their site.

Remember, we had just looked at Ringling again, alongside Elton John (the guy who has an album called Goodbye Yellow Brick Road) in Part One of this series.

If you want more on the Circus and Space travel connection, see The Secret Sun here and here.

Oh hey, don't let me forget this headline. It's graduation season and high profile douche, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, spoke at a commencement ceremony telling kids, "Don't Worry, Be Happy." So now you know everything is going to be fine.

While I've still got you on a tangent or twelve, let's look at the other ad that popped up on the Futurama site. It's for something called Earth Eternal, with a logo that is obviously two E's back to back, but which creates something else all together.

It may be a nod to our 2010, year of the Tiger. In many artistic representations of the year of the tiger, the tiger is drawn with a "Wang" on his forehead, over its third-eye. It is the Chinese character for "King" and often appears on real-life tigers as shown in this picture from the zooschool site.

While in Virginia with a bunch of dancers, we watched this incredible tap routine from The Nicholas Brothers.

Wiki tells us that Fayard Nicholas "was a member of the Baha'i Faith since 1967." The Baga'i "ringstone" symbol should now look familiar to us, as it is the spitting image of the Wang and the back-to-back E.

I'm reminded that Bees communicate through dance as I watch these guys dance on a set with a now-familiar stargate design.

I know what you're asking yourself. Why does it always come back to 2001/2010 and Stargates and all that? Well, let's finish that Futurama episode, shall we?

Leela decides to find Fry's coffin, assuming it to be empty, to prove that he's still alive. When she gets to it, the classic music starts, and the coffin is shown to be a black monolith from the 2001/2010 films.

She opens it and finds a surprise...

The coffin contains non-other than a stargate:

Hitting us over the head with death-as-stargate symbolism.

But, if you think that's the end of it, you're going to be as surprised as I was.

To be continued...

The Birds and The Bees Pt1: Jesus wants to go to Venus

Let me tell you 'bout the Birds and the Bees

And the Flowers and the Trees

And the Moon, up above

And a thing called Love

May 4th started a blitz of wild syncs for me, and since that day is known in Japan as Midori No Hi, or "Greenery Day" (part of "Golden Week"), that seems par for the course. If you've been reading this blog, you know that Osiris, the Green Man, has been calling out to me for a while. So, on another Green Day, he told me to take another look at that box of Lucky Charms.

Let's remember that Osiris was dismembered, put back together without his penis, and was given a new golden phallus by the moon goddess (all of which is covered in the Mystery of the Wandering Member post). I had already connected Lucky to Osiris, since they are both green men, but look closely at the image of him. He has now gained the power of teleporting and is dematerializing from the bottom up. In place of his vanishing member is an erect moon.

It seems someone wants us to talk about sex, or the birds and the bees, as it were. So let's get to it.

The night of May 4th I went out with some friends, met a guy who I told that he reminded me of Agent DB Cooper from Twin Peaks, and, as we were leaving, one of the girls realized that she couldn't find one of her shoes. I reached under the couch she was sitting on and cut my pinky finger on a shard of broken glass - something that seemed insignificant at the time. I went home that night and had a dream about a yellow hummingbird that I apparently kept as a pet in my apartment. I turned my attention away from the yellow hummingbird and spotted a much smaller and much stranger creature: A mix of a bee and hummingbird, wearing a tiny little flowing dress. It was struggling to fly and I was trying to teach it how. It was unable and seemed perhaps sick or dying.

I woke up the next day, not completely surprised by the dream. I've been writing about honey and bees for a few months now, after all. But, something made me go to my computer, almost instantly upon waking, and look at the sync whole blog. I guess I knew what was waiting there: A post about dying bees from a guy using the name HummingWolf (wolf=flow). There's even a quote from Agent DB Cooper at the top of the freaking blog!

His post was in response to this video where they're talking about the reoccurrence of the letters DB, the 2001/2010 movies, dead bees, blood flow, pinky fingers, they sing a song called "Little Finger" with lyrics about bees, and they speak to Seth Green!

Okay, watch this:

The Radio8Ball Show With Seth Green & Twig Palace - 03/21/2010 from The Radio8Ball Show on Vimeo.

Seth Green is another green man , his very name is a combination of the Green man and Set/Seth, his dark half. Remember, it is Set who kills and dismembers his brother Osiris.

Then there's all the craziness with the little finger.

And the blog post even included a Dali painting with a tiger that Melissa pointed out was very similar to the tiger in the circus poster we examined in connection to Osiris, assassination, and Jake Kotze's 9/11 stargate. Note the Obelisk on the elephant's back and the threatening rifle.

But wait, there's more. If you've been following along as we find the constant pairing of the letter "M" or the double "M" with the Bee or "B" syncs, then you may have laughed as loudly as I did when the big story broke this week. In what is being called a "Fat Finger" incident, a huge fluctuation in the stock market is being blamed on someone typing "B" for billion instead of "M" for million.

But, if you take those into numerology, B=2 and M=4, so we go right back to the 42 of Jupiter to go with the Jupiter finger (or the "fat finger") that the SyncWhole boys are all up on.

If you'll allow me to continue on this tangent, the computer error with the B&M made me jump to IBM in my mind. (Read about IBM's connection to the Nazis if you don't already know about their disgusting past).

Paul Rand (not to be confused with Ron Paul's son, Rand Paul) designed the IBM logo in 1972. Then, in 1981 he made this redesign incorporating the Bee:

Paul Rand also designed the UPS logo which I keep seeing a variation of on subway ads for "The King of Queens" reruns. Apparently the main character in the show works for "IPS," a not-too-subtle hat-tip to UPS. But.... according to Wiki, the sitcom cast lives at 3121 Aberdeen Street. Now, Aberdeen is a place is Scotland, so we've got a Masonic nod there. But what about that number?

3121=CABA

That looks to me like Kabba, the very same sacred cube that Kotze posits is the center of the stargate rituals.

More stargates? Yup. Remember our teleporting Green Man from the cereal box? Isn't one of his 'four charms needed to grant him the power of teleportation' a horseshoe? Well, Chris Knowles laid out the idea of the horseshoe as a symbol of a wormhole or stargate.

Now, take this a step further, and remember that the double "M" is 44.

More factoids from Wiki: The last episode of "King of Queens" ran 44 minutes, was filmed on the Ides of March, features the adoption of a child named Ming-Mei, and...

The episode ends with a three-minute montage of scenes from the show's nine seasons to A Million Billion's song Milk & Honey. The final scene shows the words thanks for the ride…

There was another Stargate/Osiris-resonating story this week, as an airport security guard, aged 44 of course, kept walking through the gates of the Orwellian full-image body-scanner and being made fun of for his "small penis." Of course, after he beats the crap out of his co-worker he goes to jail and the poor guy gets his face spread all over the news as 'the dude with the small penis.' The daily mail article on this disaster includes this photo of airport bag-checkers playing with luggage that looks like bees:

I've been writing mostly about honey and honey bees, but I got to thinking - who is the Queen Bee?

We looked at Beyonce taking on the role of a Killer QueenB. Since then I have been thinking about the Queen song "Killer Queen," which is, at least on the surface, about a drag queen (by the way, the night of May 4th I met a guy named Leary who is a drag queen). But, what seemed to make the most sense in looking for a "killer queen" was Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. We've also been looking at all the assassination language floating around. Well, wouldn't you know it, there was a scare on Tuesday where they were afraid that Queen Beatrix might be the target of another assassination attempt while she was at a war memorial service (this of course comes after the Polish president actually was assassinated while on his way to a war memorial service).

Queen Beatrix has made a name for herself as a prominent Bilderburger and owner of Royal Dutch Shell. On Wednesday, the story broke that Shell has been spilling a record amount of oil in Nigeria, specifically in the Niger Delta. Here in the States, we're looking at a huge oil spill in our Delta ever since the wreck of the fascinatingly named "Deepwater Horizon." The combo of the triangular Delta and "Deepwater Horizon" remind me of that Lego Atlantis stargate set we looked at. Even down to the black cloud of the squid's ink.

But let us not forget that we've been looking back at the movie "Kill Bill" - whose main character, played by Uma Thurman, goes unnamed until the end of the second film, when it is revealed to be Beatrix. I decided to pursue this and do some research into Uma's career and background.

Uma dressed as a yellow and black Killer Bee in Kill Bill

It turns out her mom's first husband was LSD pioneer Timothy Leary, and the two were introduced to each other by Salvador Dali - that's when I know I'm on to something here. Her father is a professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies and named her after a Hindu goddess. "Uma" is another name for the goddess Parvati ("daughter of the mountains"), a wife of Shiva.

There's a statue of Shiva outside of the 17-mile long Large Hadron Collider, which some theorize may be a stargate itself. When I say "some theorize" I mean, like, guys working on it.

A top boffin at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) says that the titanic machine may possibly create or discover previously unimagined scientific phenomena, or "unknown unknowns" - for instance "an extra dimension".

"Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it," said Sergio Bertolucci, who is Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN, briefing reporters including the Reg at CERN HQ earlier this week.

There's also a prayer to Shiva and Parvati at the end of George Harrison's last album, "Brainwashed." It's a fantastic album with songs like P2 Vatican Blues, calling out the P2 Masonic Lodge, The Rising Sun with beautiful lyrics like "Universe at play, inside your DNA, you're a billion years old today," and Looking for My Life, with the lyrics "I'd only hung around Birds and Bees."

George Harrison also owned the production company "Handmade Films" with films such as The Life of Brian (with Jesus, Space Aliens, and Terry Gilliam with a red all-seeing-eye painted on his forehead years and years before he directed Heath Ledger in Dr. Parnassus with a red all-seeing-eye painted on his forehead), Time Bandits (featuring time-traveling midgets), Shanghai Surprise (Madonna's first real acting role), and more under it's belt. Last year they did Planet 51, a film about space aliens that was mentioned in the other Seth Green SyncWhole blog post.

George Harrison, no stranger to Indian tradition, had a song years ago called Maya Love. Well, Uma Thurman, herself named after a goddess, has a daughter named Maya Ray Thurman-Hawke and played a character named Maya in Duke of Groove. There's also another Maya that I know of. Maya the Bee.

Uma also has a son named Levon.

I've been trying to get upstate to see Levon Helm, former member of The Band. They held a concert called "Rock of Ages" in which they ceremoniously played the song "Genetic Method" at midnight between New Year's Eve and the New Year.

"Rock of Ages" takes its name from two old hymns. The Hebrew hymn has the line "They breached the walls of my towers and they defiled all the oils." Where the Christian version has the lines "While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eye-strings break in death."

"Quantum: Rock of Ages" is also the name of a comic book some friends of mine have been doing for a while. It's about time-travel and the interconnectivity of multiple-dimensional existance.

Levon is also the name of an Elton John song (so named for The Band's Levon Helm) off the album "Madman Across The Water." Ponder some of these lyrics:

Levon wears his war wound like a crown

He calls his child Jesus

'Cause he likes the name

...

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town

His family business thrives

Jesus blows up balloons all day

Sits on the porch swing watching them fly

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus

Leaving Levon far behind

Take a balloon and go sailing

While Levon, Levon slowly dies

The father of little Maya and Levon is Ethan Hawke. Making Levon Thurman-Hawke another bird resonator, like the dead Osiris' bird-faced son with his flying disc, and sorta like the now-forgotten Balloon Boy, whose name was Falcon, and who was supposed to have flown away from his father in an interplanetary balloon.

That reminds me, I was visited by a bunch of balloons the other day. About 5 of them had become tangled up in my clothes line and I had to set them free.

Perhaps, since the Balloon is another one of Lucky's four teleportation ingredients, I should have held on to them.

Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke met on the set of the DNA thriller Gattaca. Uma plays a character named Cassini. Ethan plays a character named Vincent Freeman. Freeman is a bit of a masonic nod in itself, as you are supposed to be a "Free Man" to become a Mason. However, it gets more interesting in that the actors who play Vincent Freeman in the flashbacks are Chad Christ in the teenage scenes and Mason Gamble in the boyhood scenes.

And the whole point of Vincent Freeman's struggle throughout the film? Well, he wants to get on a spaceship to a moon of Saturn. The moon named Titan to be exact.

Considering I am currently reading Kurt Vonnegut's "Sirens of Titan," a book with characters named "Bee" and "Chrono" who end up on the moon of Titan....I think we're gonna need a part 2.

To be continued...

PS: I hit "publish" and saw that it was exactly 3:17AM

3/17 is the date of Osiris' death.

UPDATE:

Amazing. Look at these two headlines that just overlapped on Drudge:

It seems Jesus, the solar-powered SUN of God, really does want to go to Venus.

BP: Ill Wind or Gateway to Atlantis? (UPDATES)

Back on April 12th, I did a post about all the mixed signals found at my local Target. I connected Masonic tracing boards on cereal boxes (which started my honey obsession) to the Norway Spiral and found myself on a tangent about the Lego Atlantis playset (click on "April 12th, I did a post" for all the photos of that set). Eight days later the BP oil spill starts and a whole new can of worms is opened.

When, on day 42 of the BP spill, the guatemalan sink hole opened, the boys at the SyncWhole blog connected it to 3-d and the K2 stargate. I was instantly reminded of a page from the Lego Club Magazine (May-June 2010 issue) that arrived at our home a few weeks after I wrote about the Atlantis playset and a few weeks before the 3-d sink hole. It's a 3-d page devoted to the Atlantis gateway!

Note the trident-bearing "RedMan" in the upper left corner

The captions tell of the gateway being discovered and opened on May 1st - also known as MayDay (birth of the Illuminati and onset of the Beltane Fire Festival). The timestamp on the discovery is 10:34 (an anagram of Pi) and the last timestamp, marking the arrival of the "giant guardian squid," is 11:02 (which is an 11:11 or K2). Cartoon Network premiered the Lego Atlantis movie on January 15th - the same day as the solar eclipse.

The eclipse looks a lot like the SyncWhole study of the StarCup

where Tommy says "syncs are my new legos"

Today Drudge features this photo of 2010 Tiger Woods kissing his cup over the word "star" (with "love child" making the 2010 "star child") and the number 17.

The cover to that issue of the Lego Club Magazine features the "Dagger of Time" from Prince of Persia (see Birds and Bees Pt 5 for more on how this connects to Time Travel and Stargates). The magazine also has a comicbook inset selling some "Lego Universe" video game. The comic takes place aboard a crashing space shuttle when suddenly:

Ala our Watchmen ego-death study:

"The LIGHT is taking me to pieces"

Did I mention Venus, our light-bearer, was present for the January eclipse?

So what's happening to cause all that light on the space shuttle? Oh, just the opening of a StarGate, that's all.

Just noticed, the symbol on the space suit could be two Ks back to back (K2 = 1111)

and this Max character wears an M.

M=4 -> 4=1111. His name, Max is M(4)A(1)X(6). 4+1+6=11.

Now I had looked at the movie "Kick Ass" in relation to the honey meme in an April post. The SyncWhole boys brought it back up in connection to the BP oil spill and butterflies in that same StarCup post. I decided to see when the "Kick Ass" dvd comes out and found this article on Filmonic (posted by a guy named Liam!). Liam's article includes a video of "Hit Girl" (who wears HG on her belt -> H=8 -> 8G -> G8 -> Gate) playing with her (MK-tastic?) butterfly knife. But before you can watch the little girl play with a blade, you have to sit through a commercial with other girls and blades - for Venus razors!

"Kick-Ass" connected to the BP spill, you say? Obama drives the point home, saying in a video interview that he's looking for "Ass to Kick" over the spill. ...Whose script are we looking at here?

But I still have the honey connection in the back of my mind when I think of the "Kick-Ass" movie, so imagine my surprise when I stumble across this ad while looking for a picture of the burning oil.

Let's see, we've got "Whale Wars" which I connected to the honey meme in Birds and Bees Pt2, concluding that whales and bees were interchangeable archetypes. Just noticed, the new season starts on the I-Ching resonating June 4th (6/4).

Then the next ad down is for something called BEEkman boys. I see they are pictured under a boat with a pig - which I think is another validation of my Ark-Ham connection between BatMan and Dr. Parnassus in Birds and Bees Pt4.

Oh, and they apparently have a "goat cam." Whatever that is, I'm sure it'll go over well among the circles that are afraid of the Baphomet hiding under their beds. We can also connect that to the SyncWhole's study of the goat/Puck in connection to BP and the World Cup.

The ad ends with "planet green" and a yellow sunflower. Is this the Green Man's planet? Or should we read that as "planet green sun?" Or are we looking at the dichotomy between Horus' yellow sun and Ra's green sun?

BP's logo is a flowering yellow sun inside a green sun. Horus and Ra?

As real-life crews work on BP's deepwater horizon, let's go back to the lego "deep sea salvage crew" that opened the Lego Atlantis "gateway of the squid" on May 1st. Does this somehow play into the Beltane Fire festival?

Well, the Beltane Fire Festival incorporates the Green Man, the Red Men and the White Women/May Queen.

Here's our trident-bearing Red Man from Atlantis (with Heath-Ledger-in-Parnassus-style head markings). Squid's ink=oil?

And our woman in white? Another double-M of course!

When I passed this paper outside a newsstand I stopped in my tracks. I listen to a lot of the different theories that get bandied about these interwebs. I've learned to be open minded to everything, but to also take a lot of it with a grain of salt. Take the WebBot guys. I really like the idea behind how their system works - it's essentially synchromysticism that focuses only on text and language patterns. But, as to the success of their predictions, it's a lot of hit and miss. One thing I've heard the guy talk about for a long time now is the phrase "Ill Winds." Now, even before I mess with the headline, you can clearly see where it says "Ill Wind" if you just drop off the "sp."

But, I did mess with it, because there may be some interesting connection underneath:

How much of this is synchronicity and how much of it is scripted ritual? Well, I think we can trust in synchronicity to reveal a lot of that for us. But a skeptical eye doesn't hurt either. When Obama appoints Ray Mabus to take charge of the BP spill, you can be sure there's a phony apocalypse script being shoved down your throat. But maybe "they" are just trying to put a veneer of fear on an actual event.

My advice is to trust love to conquer fear. And keep your eyes open for anything.

UPDATE:

Much thanks to StrangEye for pointing this out...

On Drudge, they replaced the 17 under Tiger Woods with a story about Bees!! Ha.

UPDATE:

When flipped, the BP logo leads us back to the Beltane formula.

The Green Man dies (BP flips)

And becomes dq, the White Queen surrounded by Red.

This design site explains how DairyQueen lost much of their trademark look, just to incorporate some Gold and Blue swishes. This from DQ's own press release:

“The traditional logo is the foundation for the new one, a more symmetrical ellipse enhanced with gold and blue curved swishes signifying food and treats. The DQ lettering also has been updated to a font that is more current, adding greater personality.”

As we have seen again and again, the bee motif and cow motif go hand in hand - as they both stem from the ancient hallucinogenic cults. We should not be surprised that though we have been looking for a Queen Bee, we ended up with a Dairy Queen.

...Although, this BP disaster has turned the world's attention away from Queen Bea's oil spill in the Niger Delta.
