I didn't get the appeal at the time, and strongly disliked that cup, because one night, when I was wandering around in the dark, scared, with a flashlight, its shadow projected onto the rocking chair in the living room and gave the illusion of a man sitting in the rocking chair, only there wasn't a man and it terrified me and oh by the way I was a complete and utter chicken  when I was younger.
