This Month's Guest:
Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche was the self-appointed
philosophical
coroner who pronounced the death of almighty God in 1883. Apparently
God had too many responsibilities and suffered a heart attack
due to all of the stress.
Being such an influentual figure
who had such a "brush with greatness," we decided to
interview Freddie and get his opinion on what God was like and
how things have progressed since then.
I sent our intern overseas to
track him down and get the scoop. Here is the transcript of that
EXCLUSIVE Blind Fools interview:
Interviewer: It's a pleasure to finally get to speak
to you Mr. Nietzsche.
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Don't be shy now. I know it's been a
while since your last interview. No need to be so stiff, go ahead
and speak right up.
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Alrihty then, let's get started with
the interview, shall we?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: What do you think the impact of your,
"God is dead" statement has had on society up until
now?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Do you think that it has had ANY impact?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Hello?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Well, you're not quite the wordsmith
that I was told you were.
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: What do you say to those who call you
just a braggart?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: What's the matter, cat got your tongue?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Oh I get it, you're trying to be the
strong, silent type. Are you flirting with me?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Dude, you are borrrrrrrrrrrrring!
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: You know, if we were on the Blind Date
show, they would be putting up those funny graphics making fun
of you.
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Okay, let's start over. Do you still
believe that Christianity and democracy as moralities for the
"weak herd"?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Do you believe that your life thus far
has fulfilled your own philosophy of living dangerously and thus
rising above the masses?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Are you also developing your natural
capacity for the creative use of passion?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Do you hear me?!
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Hey, wait a minute. Maybe your big ol'
honkin' mustache is blocking the sound waves of your voice from
reaching my ears?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Just nod "yes" or "no"
Mr. Nietzsche.
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Hellllllllllo?! Is anyone home?! (knocking
on head)
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Are you awake?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: You must be because your eyes are open.
Actually, you haven't blinked once since I've been here.
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Are you feeling well? You look a little
pale.
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Interviewer: Well Mr. Nietzsche, I'm going to go
now. It appears you're not in the mood for an interview. Do you
have any last words?
Nietzsche: (no answer)
Thus Spake Friedrich
Nietzsche
Editor's Note: The whole interview
was a bust. It turns out that there was something that I failed
to uncover before setting up the interview.
Nietzsche is dead.
And he can't "will the power"
to get back up.
Obviously I should have found
this out before sending our intern over there to interview him
- my bad.
I will try to employ a bit more
due diligence in future issues.
