The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
Tiller \Till"er\, n. [AS. telgor a small branch. Cf. Till to
cultivate.]
1. (Bot.)
(a) A shoot of a plant, springing from the root or bottom
of the original stalk; a sucker.
(b) A sprout or young tree that springs from a root or
stump.
[1913 Webster]
So is the Tillerman a tree-man? A root-man? A shoot-man?
Growing straight out of the ground? He looks pretty grounded but he can still tap his foot. He's not completely embedded.
I don't KNOW!!
(ready to give up)
LOL

The root of the tree quite obviously goes under the table. The possibility of the tillerman actually being a tiller is hidden by the full length table clothe. No Berna, I don't see any geese but there might be some under the table |

No Berna, I don't see any geese but there might be some under the table You're not serious.  I looked up tiller and saw that definition and thought it might have some relation to the tree, but then figured that is just ridiculous. The root doesn't go under the table, it goes behind the corner of the table. You can see his feet out the other side. He's definitely not part of a tree. Goodness, lol. Is there anything else to the 'pun' I'm missing? -John... |

Golly John,

Wow... so a tillerman is someone growing out of a tree.
Cool. That IS a neat pun, but more so if the term is widely known, I guess!
Now here's another hint on mine:
Think about where he's sitting. (I had never realized it before.) Have I put you on the right "track"? (hint, hint)
He's on.....

Some of us(or should I say ME) just don't understand some of the down under humor... We all see things a little different from one an other and that makes life more interesting...

This way to the answer: The image is missing Bernadette. yeah, I got rid of it. It is a wild goose chase and so was the picture. It is W.Va humour; not funny to me, you know, much like the Emperor's New Clothes: he just ain't wearin' any.  Carry on. |

(I had never realized it before.) Have I put you on the right "track"? (hint, hint) He's on..... the road to find out. Yeah, I noticed that too when I was trying to figure out Michael's, but I didn't think that would be it. I also noticed there a 'children playing' and a storm where someone might 'die tonight' heh heh. All a bit of a 'wild world' I guess, and Tea For The Tillerman talks about steak for the son, so with the kids in the picture that would be 'father and son'. Plus they're in the country, 'miles from nowhere'. I think you can read anything out of it that you want to. -John... |

thst's what I liked about the album cover... You can work all his songs into the album cover... Sad Lisa is the hard headed women who makes the rains come... The lightning is white as is the table clothe... And the boy in the tree has bluish eyes that are wise, perhaps he is the drumer and he know's that he has to get away... and it goes on and on with the album...

I’ve only just looked at this thread & I enjoyed it. The cover held in my hand being anxiously scrutinized. I must say I felt like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black dog that wasn’t there to begin with, then, all was revealed! Well done Lucy. Linda PS I like the way you think Michael. |
