hchung (Henry E Chung):
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
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was pemanently pissed!
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
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!
-- Monty Python's Flying Circus

jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
"Good morning, Eeyore," said Pooh.
"Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it //is// a good
morning," he said. "Which I doubt," said he.
"Why, what's the matter?"
"Nothing, Pooh Bear, nothing. We can't all, and some of us don't. That's
all there is to it."
"Can't all //what//?" said Pooh, rubbing his nose.
"Gaiety. Song-and-dance. Here we go round the mulberry bush."
"Oh!" said Pooh. He thought for a long time, and then asked, "What mulberry
bush is that?"
"Bon-hommy," went on Eeyore gloomily. "French word meaning bonhommy," he
explained. "I'm not complaining, but There It Is."
--from _Winnie-the-Pooh_, "Eeyore Has a Birthday", by A. A. Milne

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
Everything you always wanted to know about Arab attitudes toward
Israel, but were afraid to ask....
(Soon to come -- quotes from this year. But I'm building up to it.)
Part 16:
``... there is a minimal Palestinian national position. This
minimum is the rejection of any recognition of the Zionist entity ...
our rejection of any settlement based on the continued existence of
this foreign entity.''
- PFLP leader Dr. George Habash, //Al-Bayrad// (Beirut), February 4,
- 1975

jtidwell (Jenifer P. Tidwell):
There I am in younger days, stargazing
Painting picture perfect maps
Of how my life and love would be
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
My compass, faith in love's perfection
I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen
And all our friends we thought were so together
Have left each other one by one in search of fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
To the slim chance of love's recovery
