Join in the fun and Go Absurd!

Opening Absurdity

No one ever says:
“I did it because it was the wrong thing to do”

“How does dark chocolate pass through the veins?”
No one ever asks

Quote of the Day

“Absurdity is one of the most human things about us: a manifestation of our most advanced and interesting characteristics.” (Thomas Nagel)

A Wise and Foolish Saying That May Have Been Said?

A man of mirth is a man of worth

A Sometimes Cruel and Absurd World…

An Italian man has accidentally shot and fatally wounded his father while hunting wild boar in southern Italy

The Meaning of Life?

Goat Cheese and Avocado

Yet More Absurdity…

Banish the thoughts of a turd with a turd while eating activated whey and curds

“Are you getting circumcised today?” said the old man to the older man while eating his red shoes

Said No One, Probably Ever….

“Today I’m going to shave off my bored head”

A Statistic That Probably Never Was or Will Ever Be…

46% of people in Europe eat breakfast with their eyes closed

From The Great Woman Leonora Carrington

You may not believe in magic but something very strange is happening at this very moment. Your head has dissolved into thin air and I can see the rhododendrons through your stomach. It's not that you are dead or anything dramatic like that, it is simply that you are fading away and I can't even remember your name.

(From the Book, The Hearing Trumpet)


“The last thing I want to say before I go is, I have a nice vagina”

Absurd, but do not try this…

Flying to Germany (or anywhere) with 30 kilograms of clothes that you are going to donate to a German charity. You could have donated these same clothes to a local charity and not flown anywhere. Or you could have flown to Germany, bought new or used clothes, and then donated them to charity. But instead you spend $2000 on flights and accommodation just to experience what it is like to give to a foreign charity in person.

A Sign You Will Probably Never See…


NOT
WORTH
IT


Remember

Absurd responsibly. The Buddhist no harm principle applies here. Do not harm yourself or others when going absurd. (Maybe what I have just written is absurd?)
