Mickey,
Would 'Two words 3 & 7 related in a colourful way to a once Irish immigrant part of Toronto' be a good crossword clue, or a red herring? Or have I blotted my copybook?

Since the theme is Rorschach we don't have to guess what it is. We reveale the murkier corners of our murkey minds. I see a monstrous spider waiting to pounce and devour me.

I thought I was posing a problem but PeterW's letter has my head spinning. The Ward? Agnes St.? Dundas St.? St Patrick St.? Spadina Ave.? Kensington Ave.? St. Dennis Sq.? The Distillery? Aha! 7-3= FourWard. Nope.  ?? I am completely baffled. It must be some kind of code. Perhaps its my lack of Gaelic. He must know something about Toronto that I don't. I'm ashamed. I will probably be awake all night trying to decipher it. Mickey |

I didn't respond because it was obviously something suggestive and perverted. In fact, if I look through my 20mm lens backwards, everything I see is suggestive and perverted.
The whole world is suggestive and perverted.
Oops. Forgot to take my meds.

Thank you Gene.
Wayne,
When I took the picture and when I posted it I didn't see anything suggestive or perverted. I was totally innocent.
Then I started noticing its resemblance to the walls at Angkor Wat.
Do you suppose the ancient Cambodians liked cole slaw?

It immediately reminded my on my youth (in the late sixties and early seventies).
When my Grandma prepared Sauerkraut a guy had been hired that got a huge
board with two blades of a knife. The cabbage had been cut into two halves,
and these were moved back and forth on the board and over the blades in order
to get these slices.
Apparently it did not pay to have such an apparatus at home for a exclusive use.
Btw, that guy came with a tiny moped - the board was considerably longer.
Best regards
Peter

Peter S.
What you are describing sounds like the original of the grossly overpriced though useful kitchen utensil that the French, whose minds are always on food, call a mandoline or mandolin. It is really a horizontal, double bladed, guillotine.
My mother played a mandolin and I don't ever recall her slicing or shredding cabbage with it. Although she could cut quite a rug.
Nor do I ever recall seeing the French mandolin(e) strummed in a string orchestra.
Just a slice of history from the observations of an idle mind.

Micky, a Rorschach image isn't sinister in itself, it's neutral. The viewer's subconscious transforms the experience into something sinister and then your tongue gives you away.

First thing that came to my mind was "slices of red cabbage". I guess I can stay out of the nut coat for another year.
