We interrupt this program for a message from René Descartes

[SoxFan]

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Lounging.

1. And to think he said that 200+ years ago.

[Swede]

2. Don't put a horses ass before Descartes.

:shrug:

[gmoney]

3. a drunken fart who was very rarely stable...

[Catshrink]

4. Glenn Beck thinks he has Descartes blanc

to make stuff up.

[quakerboy]

5. The first useful thing he's had to put forth so far

I did not care for him in philosophy courses. And my first prof had a hardon for him. Which lead to bad grades when I proposed that there were better thought processes to follow than his. Moved to a different adjunct who actually encouraged thinking, and everything started working again.

6. René Descartes was a drunken fart.

"I drink, therefore I am."

[Catshrink]

7. And Immanuel Kant was an old piss ant.

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
and Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

I sang this song for my wife on our first date. I also sang the wonderful "Let The Eagle Soar" when we saw a bald eagle while we were walking around the Indianapolis zoo.

I'm quite the romantic, eh?

[Catshrink]

10. And you're still married?

Your wife must be a saint.

[Blue-Jay]

11. Yeah, I still can't believe it.

If she's not quite a saint, she should at least be in the bullpen.

9. This is very weird...

I was on Yahoo Messenger with family this morning and at the bottom of the screen where they put little ads, I saw something about Immanuel Kant. The only time I've ever typed Immanuel Kant was here last night. So does Yahoo have a tracking program or something? I need to run Spybot again.
