Lola:-

It's just a discursive object.

It is popular with football hooligans a few of whom are partially educated.

See you Monday with luck and foresight.

I most certainly resent his blackguard remarks towards The Heir To The Throne Lola!

Let He who is without sin
Cast the first stone !

(The Nazarene)

Should Nicolas Soames MP come across his scurrilous statement the 'oaf' would be hauled from his toasty bed, taken to The Tower and be hung drawn and quartered.

As he richly deserves.

Jack Palance would have plugged him had he been of English descent and been witness to this tantrum.

The scoundrel needs horse-whipping at least.

I demand his apology forthwith ! Could I only lay seige to his domain, it would be pistol's at dawn ! Of that there is no dispute or quarter !

Gosh I miss the sloppy popping sounds that accompany a good drawing and quartering. Saturday afternoons just are not what they used to be.

Mathos,

Do you work at the CPD? Are you Spendi's hoped for representative from the Cambridge Philosophy Department? If so, he'll be delighted.

Dear Lola, we do jump to conclusions! However, your question tells me much. The 'Clown Spendius has such irrational ideas about his philosophic state of genius' He really believes the CPD would be bothering to view his nonsense? And! You dear lady believe I am, an agent from Cambridge?
How deep his influential twaddle has reached into your cranium ! You are in deep need of an electronic jump start!
The whole damn place goes CRAZY TWICE!

And the men all dance on the polka dots.


Sounds like excellent entertainment to me Lola!

"Ole cutie" ? An expression from The Colonies? I must remember those words.

First we take Manhattan
Then we take Berlin !

Sensible approach!

Interesting 'pins' too. Are they actual Lola ?

A quote:-

"The prediliction felt by obsessional neurotics for uncertainty and doubt leads them to turn their thoughts by preference to those subjects upon which all mankind are uncertain and upon which knowledge and judgements must necessarily remain open to doubt."

Sigmund Freud.Collected Papers.Vol 3.Page 363.

Farmerman:-

I concur.

However I think you risk confusing threaders.Schools often use the word "mathematics" in their promotional literature, much like some do "philosophy,when what they actually mean is "sums".This allows their students to believe that they know something of mathematics when they have not even come within touching distance of the subject and know nothing of the matters it considers despite pretences to the contrary.One might consider referring them to Spengler's The Meaning of Numbers but they will probably be too busy lifting up their skirts to grant us all a glimpse of their soft underbellies to grapple with that.

Spendius 'Dear Boy,

Freud, passed away in 1939 I believe. He worked most of his lifetime in various Austrian lunatic/mental asylums, obviously with the 'hysterical nutters!' I rather think you should be more neoteric in your choice of 'icon's.' Expand your visions, you have wriggled in your morass for far too long! Try following Mathos, he will be a real name one day! Study 'The Ego and the Id' if you haven't already done so! I consider his pointer's to be well documented in the current realms of comprehensive
matters. however, 'We need to proceed'

What pointers?To what do they point.Does the point to which they point,if they do point to that point,have a point?What's your point?Have you read the book you mention?If you have kindly tell us the salient points.

According to Jones,who you must be familiar with,
"the clinical evidence points in the opposite direction."(On the "death instinct theory".)Freud himself expressed disappointment with the book.

I feel you ought to have more knowledge of subjects on which you pose as expert.Some of your fellow threaders will chortle otherwise.

"So distantly I turn to view
The shamblings of that motley crew,
Those souls that hate the strength that mine has
Steeled in the school of old Aquinas."

The Holy Office.James Joyce.

"Any movement of appetite within the labyrinth of cognition is a "minotour" which must be slain by the hero artist.Anything which interferes with cognition,whether concupiscence,pride,imprecision or vagueness,is a minotour ready to devour beauty."
Herbert M McLuhan.

Concupiscence eh?Better stick to the tabloids.They exist by flattering you.

Lifting their skirts?

"pins"?

Mathos,

It is not spendius who follows Freud.

Hi Spendius,

How are you lately? I'm back from my travels and have almost caught up on my mail.

I can't understand,
He let go of my hand
An' left me here facing the wall.
I'd sure like t' know
Why he did go,
But I can't get close t' him at all.
Though we laughed through the wild blazing nighttime,
He said he would never forget.
But now mornin's clear,
It's like I ain't here,
He just acts like we never have met.

Mr & Mrs Philosophers,

My! How you two enjoy residing in Eldorado! The skill-less expectorates of Spendicus ( hero of the coffee shop) display ersatz beyond 'man's wildest comprehension.' Which exposes it's head in the fallacious responses to Matho, which in turn are obscured by quotes of the 'dead!' Nihilism being the return I receive and my heart is heavy from the continuity of defeating the upstart. Similar in kind to pugulistic occurences when one encounters a far weaker opponent on whom he takes pity.Not wishing to 'knock him out' the pup is repeatedly tapped to the floor, and has neither the sense or reason to be aware of his nemesis. Whilst Mrs Philosopher having paid 'top wack' for the ringside seat, is ever mindful of the damage being done to her 'loved one' she refuses to tell him to stay down, and merely screams low blow to the adjudicating forces. Alas as he sinks to his knees once more; " will his brain be damaged she enquires?" "Didn't have much of one to start with "
replies The Doc. He opens his eyes and looks at the skies, a vacant look on his face, his lady she sits and cries;
"He said he would never forget .
But now mornings clear,
It's like I ain't here,
He just acts like we never have met."

But now it's come to distances
And both of us must try,
Your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
