GRGR(5): Weissmann & Heidegger: being-towards-death

[s~Z]

well...haven't checked the archives, but seems things have calmed
down...discussion back to things literary and philosophical with just
the right dash of sex and violence to keep us coming back for more...a
bit of tension building as we wait to hear what tattoo and where...since
the Rolling Stones' _Tattoo You_ is the name of an album, but not a
song, we'll stay with things philosophical and let Bruce take us into
the weekend...happy Independence Day all of you liberated
Americans...follow the bouncing shot glass...

BRUCE'S PHILSOPHERS SONG 
Sung by the Pythons 
  
Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant 
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 sloshed as Schlegel 
  
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 
'bout the raising of the wrist 
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed 
  
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will 
after 'alf 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 
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 


Cheers
