I am sorry for being confusing about what the "obviously" was supposed to imply. I meant from the physical description, if you visualize the object in your head, the object is pretty obviously a lampshade. From there is is a pretty reasonable guess to say that this lampshade represents an attempt by EY to hang a lampshade on something. Of course, it is not so obvious what is being lampshaded.

I dunno about yours, but my lampshades don't usually spin, particularly not with a "vroop".

Right, EY just threw that in to make it harder to guess.
