Rest well!
Score? |

| May-28-07 | | whiteshark: <spider/Spinne> JFQ
Are you looking for meaningless catchwords or are you really interested in the meaning of Nietsche's thoughts ? |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Niels, Eyal> Eerie... It's almost as if <English> and <Dutch> were <Germanic> languages or something... |
|
| May-28-07 | | achieve: YES! Good to rest

| | jessicafischerqueen: <feared predator>
Extremely interested in <N's> thought, particularly in <Antichrist> (I agree mainly with his attack on relgiosity, and Judaism/Christianity in particular as "civilization sapping.") Plus in <Geneology of Morals>, I find his ideas very challenging. Viz, the "blond beast" who shall be forgiven "rape, torture, arson and murder" as if these acts were the "pranks of a schoolboy" provided they are in the service of civilization building. I am extremley interested in <Nietszche, Kierkegaard, and Kant> in particular and the many intersections, antagonisms, and even common ground among these three. Last gasp of <Idealist> philosophy in the West until the rise of <positivism analytic philosophy and such>. Which I also appreciate, particularly in the case of <Bertrand Russell>. Feel free to egage me in any philosophical ideas you like, you'll find an eager and receptive interlocuter in me. Jessfish |

Heh. My younger sister learned German in High School, and took to referring to me as "Herr Hunt" and then giggling. Wheee
<klootzak> lol sounds like <nutsack>, if you know that idiom (it's naughty) |

| May-28-07 | | WBP: <Anyone else know any "classic" or "literary" insult-artists of note> Robert Frost on Wallace Stevens: "a bric-a-brac poet." Wallace Stevens on Robert Frost: "His work is full (or said to be full) of humanity." Hemingway on Faulkner (paraphrase) "He's the second best living American writer" Schopenhauer on the Christian theology and its God: "There is finally the further fact that the God who prescribes forbearance and forgiveness of every sin, even to the point of loving one's enemy, fails to practise ir himself, but does rather the opposite: since a punishment which is introduced at the end of things, when all is over and done with for ever, can be intended neither to improve nor dter; it is nothing but revenge. Thus regarged, it seems that the entire race is in fact definitely intended and expressly created for eternal torment and damnation." |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Bill> outstanding insults there, from the <picayune to the profound>. LOL you know the story of <Faulkner> hating to give interviews and with good reason. When asked to rank the top five American writers he put himself ahead of <Hem> and called him a <dog>, which engraged the latter. In the context of <F's> statement, however, <F> was using the word "dog" in a very specific sense, not to denigrate <hem> ad hominem. Or <ad canem>, for that matter. |
|
| May-28-07 | | achieve: <<klootzak> lol sounds like <nutsack>, if you know that idiom (it's naughty)> 10/10 !!!
Herr Hunt probably should be Herr "Hund".

| | jessicafischerqueen: "nighty night" <Niels> thanks for coming by as always!! It's funny eh? you and I are only awake at the same time two hours each day- just before I go to bed and just before you go to bed. Does this mean we sleep 16 hours each?
Jess of the "confused by time zones" |
|
| May-28-07 | | achieve: G'♘ All !!

|
May-28-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: Well for a woman to be called <Mr. Dog> by her own lil sis, I mean really. Just because I prefer blue jeans to dresses and eat my dinner real fast?? Still do as a matter of fact.
He.
Fraulein Hund here! |

|
| May-28-07 | | achieve: <Does this mean we sleep 16 hours each?> We probably do some other stuff as well.. Actually I'm gonna walk my wiener doggy now and then hit the sac. |
|
| May-28-07 | | WBP: Schopenhauer on Hegel (whom he despised, as did Kierkegaard [who in turn, was somewhat fascinated by Schopenhauer]): "Ponderous and witless...But the greatest effrontery in serving up sheer nonsense, in scrabbling together senesless and maddening webs of words, such as had previously been heard only in madhouses, finally appeared in Hegel...a lasting monument to German stupidity...a repulsive and dull charleton and an uparalleled scribbler of nonsense.." etc! (Many more I could cite). <Or <ad canem>, for that matter> Heh. Yeah, <Hem> sure knew how to pick his fights, as when he decked the 67 year old Wallace Stevens. |
|
| May-28-07 | | Eyal: <(musical) insults> Rossini: Wagner has wonderful moments, and dreadful quarters of an hour. Mark Twain: Wagner’s music is better than it sounds. |
|
| May-28-07 | | achieve: And when I wake up at least 160 pages!! ;-))
Gute Nacht, Freunde.. |

| May-28-07 | | WBP: <<(musical) insults>> Richard Strauss on himself: Strauss was conducting a performance of his own Der Rosenkavalier. Just as the last act began, he whispered to the first violin: "This is very long, don't you think?" "But Maestro," the violinist replied, "YOU composed it!" "Yes," said Strauss, "But I never thought I'd have to conduct it." (BTW, Strauss's Elektra is my very favorite opera).
During the First World War, Ezra Pound walked past a booth selling War Bonds. The women selling them cried out to him, "Sir, don't you want to help save Western Civilization?" To which Pound replied, "Madam, I AM Western Civilization." |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Laughing my head off here <Bill> those are Gems. Seems we have something else in common besides <sasquatch>. Love the <Strauss> and <gooo Ezra>! You are a secret collector of famous insults!! |
|

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Eyal> the <Twain> has me in stitches. can hardly type thank you thank you thank you...
He's my favorite funny guy of all time.
You'll notice that my second grovel to <Plato> was cribbed from Twain's hilariously braggardly account of his own birth! |
|
| May-28-07 | | princeofdragons: Please visit <CM>'s forum for your confusion that I am the same person as <CM> and also what puzzles I'm suppose to solve. Thank you!

| May-28-07 | | WBP: Oscar Wilde, from one of his plays: He doesn't have an enemy in the world. And none of his frinds like him, either." <Jess> Great hearing you like Strauss. He was something of an idiot (Toscannini: "I take my hat off to Strauss the composer, and put it back on again to Strauss the man), but his music is, to me, often quite wonderful. (Susan Sontag listened constantly to Elektra when she was writing Against Interpretation and other early works. And Cynthia Ozik once said in an interview that at one point in her life she listened "over and over" to Death and Transfiguration). |
