Tubes

From The Extended Group

(Redirected from Tube)

Tubes are a recurring motif in group life, often manifesting themselves in the most unlikely of situations.

Tube Caricature

This is technique often relied on by Jeremy in depicting Drawing Game artwork. By his own admission, Jeremy cannot draw perspective, so he had developed a style similar to that of pre-Renaissance artists, which implies but does not directly depict distance between figures. Perhaps the most famous example of this is his depiction of people as cylindrical tubes, which while in part conveying the implied perspective, greatly contributes to the Jeremy factor, known for inalterably skewing prompts traveling through the Drawing Game cycle.

Tube at the Park

Another renowned instance of tubing occurred in the discovery of a large plasticine tunnel suspended about four feet high in the playground at the Park by Terry's.

Activities in and around the tube include:

  • Cramming as many people inside as possible
  • Trying to walk across it
  • Putting one's arms and legs through the many window holes so that it looks like an anthropomorphized tube
  • Discussing recent events
  • Homoeroticism

Form of Musical Expression

During the short but painful era in which Jeremy and Kevin would listen to nothing but the Weezer Demos CD on their commute to the UW, Kevin remarked how many of the demos began with what could only be described as a howling tube. This marked the beginning of a longstanding hatred towards the Weezer Demos CD.
