Waxing Philisophical
Why did we call the chapter "Scooter My Daisy Heads"?
There were several reasons, the first of which is that we were reaching a dead line for submitting our new chapter paperwork and had to pick from a number of ludicrous names we had come up with. The chooseing came down to two names and the runner up was "Devil Bunnies". The two choices were derived from the fact that we were going to have a combination Changling/Sabbat chapter and so wanted something which conveyed those yin yang aspects of our personalities. We were going to quench our thirst for blood and carnage with the Sabbat game while exploring our inner beings and strive for enlightment while playing Changling. As of right now however there is no Sabbat game so we are all beating each other over the head with inner peace...(But I digress)...So...we choose Scooter My Daisy Heads as our chapter name because it conveyed more of the meaning behind the chapter, it created more glamour when it was uttered and the changelings within us all were drawn to that. Not to mention the profound significance you can find in those words when you critically analyse them.
The "Scooter" as a mode of transportaion signifies a journey. As a less than proper mode of travel however it adds a flippent and transient quality to that journey. The "Daisy" obviously a flower, and quite common, reminds us that while we move through each day on this evenescent journey we need to stop and smell the flowers. Usually the flowers are depicted as roses, however in this case in keeping with the simplicity of the idea and the natural beauty of our path the daisy is more appropriate. "Head" the word alone can be very enigmatic or possibly phallic depending on your personal point of view, of which we have both. When applied to the concept of the journey it reflects the cognative nature of the path we travel down. It is a metaphor for everything we must learn to complete the journey and everything we must forget for begin it. Finally we come to the central theme of this tirade and examine the word "My". It denotes ownership. Our journey through the chapter itself and the game which is played within it is a personal one. One which can only be experienced on an individual level. Though each of us will have assistance from our fellows in making our journies each path traveled is a solitary one, and its didactic nature can not simply be explained to another, the path must be walked. Because the reasons each of us choose to walk this path and the reasons which bring us to it are different we must ultimately tred alone greeting each other on the rare occasions that our paths do cross.
But Really: we saw the Sprint commercial and laughed ourselves stupid, then after a brief attempt to transform the name into something of our own (like "Dirtbike Your Lily Butt") we decided to go with the original.
