So much vulnerability....so little time.......but butter is good.....I'll think about it. Are we ignorant yet?
Now, attribute those cliches, spendius........when you get back from the pub.
Hey-
This is a serious philosophy debate not a courtship ritual.
But beware lads-Lola might be Queen Tease.
I'm too unlearned to attribute those particular gems.I once saw a bumper (fender) sticker on a rust-bucket pick-up truck which read "so many women and so little time".I suppose Lola's is a feminist version of that but as with so much else her's is more discerning and wicked.
I don't have views on butter even though I've seen Last Tango (much over-rated) and read Barnard's explosive strictures on animal fat.
Before the pub I studied existential angst in the Fulham Chelsea confrontation but it only showed itself in snatches.Tonight should afford
a better opportunity with the next round of the Manchester United v Arsenal grudge match.

Actually, I think I might have a reputation already.
Maaaaaaaaaaaybe.
An objective observer might detect a tendency toward prickly.
However, I don't tease with just anyone.....only a select few. No ignoramuses.
But, I must admit flirting with a few Republicans and I know that's borderline ignoramus....but only because they're such masochists and it's so tempting. (Present company excluded.)
Actually, (getting back to the subject) the vulnerable thing had to do with my belief that knowing one's weaknesses increases one's strength. As in the Titanic.......oh, I see I've explained the obvious. Sorry.
And yes, I think bumper sticker is right.........though, I was thinking more along the lines of Oprah. Vile show. Never watch it.
even with the titanic - it's not the size of the ship but rather motion in the ocean
peeing on corner of thread
laughing, very funny, Husker............. but the Titanic sunk due to premature over-evaluation of capacity to withstand the effects of an unexpected ice berg. It's best to be mindfull of potential dangers and to be prepared, don't you think?
Quote:peeing on corner of thread
Ah ha! The appearance of top dog.
Blatham, would you debate with an ignoramus?
never fool with "mother nature"
Never mind him, Husker........he's just showing off.
sniffing...oh, there I am. Farley Mowat pitched his tent smack on a wolf pathway and after drinking a few pots of tea peed a full circle around his tent. The first wolf to come along sniffed the circumference in an orderly fact-retrieval process, then proceded to pee another larger circle around Mowat's..."fine, you're there but come out and you're toast"
Knowledge-attenuated debates...possible?
Aside from singing, more peeing, and groping, what the hell else are pubs for? You can put your ear up against a wood support beam in any old Shropshire beer haus and hear centuries of dead certainties shouting (it sounds like walruses). Put your ear up against a flying buttress at Notre Dame and you don't hear a thing (at best, you'll get a medicinal whiff from the ward where god died). Subjective certainty is one thing. Subjective certainty plus laughter is another thing.
That's not lateral thinking Major.That's whooshing round the ether in a disarray of ectopia not unlike those productions of a cow which manage to avoid being hygienically bottled and stacked up in shops.

Never Cry Wolf was a great read, blatham ... I never did work up a desire to try meadow mole stew though.
Wolves were exterminated here about the same time that philosophers gave up,kicking and screaming,the idea that the sun went round the earth.
spendius.
since when is sniffing considered to be thinking.......lateral or otherwise?
Dr. Spendius
I confess to swooshing, though not to ectopia...any odd bits were hacked off early by the very same wetnurse who tended to Master Denis Thatcher.
And speaking of genera Deni/Denni, I am still in solemn mourning over the passing of _ Potter.
You'd be hearing a lot with the ear not pressed against that buttress... boats, traffic, a constant hum.)

Sniffing can be a useful aid to thinking.Rabelais used sniffing and tasting in his diagnostic rituals and dogs would be lost without the facility.
