GO ABSURD 41


Sponsor’s Message

This is a sponsor’s message that no one will probably ever read! Yay! Go Absurd!

Opening Absurdity

I’m an oldborn – freshly delivered 85 years ago
and
How a tiger frees its mouth from an orgasm is no one’s guess

Quote of the Day

“If there are men whose absurd side has never been revealed, it is because no one has looked for it properly” (La Rochefoucauld)

An Absurd World…

A German couple are suing a cruise liner after being kicked off a cruise ship in Barbados for allegedly engaging in excessively loud ‘love-making’

A Saying That Will Probably Never Be Said

To count for anything, it has to count for something; to count for something, it has to count for anything
(both count for nothing)

Book Title You Will Probably Never See…

How to Become a German Porn Star in Mandarin

Something to Wear
Road Party Pale Pink T-Shirt Front

A Nonsense Question…

Do people count people?

Things You Will Probably Never Hear In 2019…

“So when do they expect this statue of liberty thing to be constructed by? I hear Frederic and Gustave are making something special that will be admired many years from now… Anyway, where’s my carriage?”

The Meaning of Life?

Eat, Drink, Survive

Said No One, Probably Ever….

“Why do humans have ears when a pair of microphone speakers would have been perfectly adequate?”

A Statistic That Probably Never Was or Will Ever Be…

30% of people worldwide gargle apple cider vinegar while staring at an ant on a tree wide eyed

From The Great Man Emil Cioran

“Everything is possible, and yet nothing is. All is permitted, and yet again, nothing. No matter which way we go, it is no better than any other. It is all the same whether you achieve something or not, have faith or not, just as it is all the same whether you cry or remain silent. There is an explanation for everything, and yet there is none. Everything is both real and unreal, normal and absurd, splendid and insipid. There is nothing worth more than anything else, nor any idea better than any other. Why grow sad from one’s sadness and delight in one’s joy? What does it matter whether our tears come from pleasure or pain? Love your unhappiness and hate your happiness, mix everything up, scramble it all! Be a snowflake dancing in the air, a flower floating downstream! Have courage when you don’t need to, and be a coward when you must be brave! Who knows? You may still be a winner! And if you lose, does it really matter? Is there anything to win in this world? All gain is a loss, and all loss is a gain. Why always expect a definite stance, clear ideas, meaningful words? I feel as if I should spout fire in response to all the questions which were ever put, or not put, to me.”

(From the book, On the Heights of Despair)


“Johnny, Johnny, yes papa, eating seaweed? No papa. Then, why were you born with a mouth?”

Modern Wank

“You need to make yourself more employable”

Go Absurd! Exercise:

Walk into a cat shelter and ask, with concern and tension in your voice, “who let the dogs out?”

A Sign You Will Probably Never See…


LOVE
MAKE
HATE

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?)
