Some Random Thoughts
(therefore I am... randomly)
 

 

  
Another stolen joke (I really don't remember from whom or where): The French philosopher René Descartes walks into a bar. A young man walks up to him, puts his arm around him and says "Hey gorgeous, can I buy you a drink?" Descartes says "I think not," and abruptly vanishes in thin air.....
(oh, go look up Cogito ergo sum if you don't get it.... then try Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum -- "I think I think, therefore I think I am")

Speaking in Tunes: On the show "Whose Line is it, anyway?" they have one skit where they have to team up and hold conversations entirely using song titles. My hat goes off to anyone who can do improvisation. I can't even make this stuff up as fast as I type (which isn't all that fast, between you and me). But, let's give it a try....

Man, getting into taxicab: "Take me to the river" (Talking Heads)
Cabbie: "Lonely Night?" (The Captain & Tennille, of all things!)
Man: "Sloppy Drunk" (John Lee Williamson, some good "whiskey blues")
Cabbie: "Same Ol' Situation" (Motley Crue)
Man: "Have You Never Been Mellow?" (Olivia Newton John, yeah, I know, right up there with The Captain & Tennille)
Cabbie: "Cry to Me" (Solomon Burke)
Man: "Are You Goin' My Way? [or not?]" (Lenny Kravitz)
Cabbie: "I've been loving you too long" (Otis Redding)
Man: "[hey you] Get Off of My Cloud" (Rolling Stones)
Cabbie: "[Sigh] Good Lovin' Gone Bad" (Bad Company)
Cabbie: "Everybody loves me but you" (Brenda Lee)
Man: "[OK], Let me off uptown" (Anita O'Day)
 

Well, hmm, that was maybe a little too weird. Proves I don't edit these things, doesn't it? Probably would have been funny in front of a studio audience..... or if I actually knew half of the songs. Some other time I'll show a conversation among characters from multiple cartoons and TV shows.....

 

Therefore I am:

Bibo ergo sum: I drink, therefore I am (yup, saw that one written on a wall )

Lego ergo sum: I build, therefore I am (well, probably close to it)

Scribo ergo sum: I write, therefore I am (not bad) - in my case it is more like Cogito scribo ergo cogito sum (I think I write, therefore I think I am)

Codito ergo sum:  I code, therefore I am (Ancient Geek philosophy, I guess).

Canto ergo sum: I sing therefore I am.

Veho ergo sum: I drive, therefore I am

Consulto ergo sum: I consult, therefore I am

Amo ergo sum: I love, therefore I am. Awwwww.
