Go Absurd 76 - Give Up Your (Don't) Day Job


Quote of the Day

“We are all of us in error, the humourists excepted. They alone have discerned, as though in jest, the inanity of all that is serious and even of all that is frivolous.” (E.M. Cioran)

Sponsor’s Message

“Overrated”
“Waste of Space”
“Pointless”
Are just some of the things that have been whispered to the Sponsor who isn’t a Sponsor

Another Excuse For A Quote…

“A cup of coffee, a bit of tobacco whose aroma passes through me when I smoke it, my eyes half shut in a half-dark room – this, and my dreams, are all I want from life.” (Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet)

Doth Cum Often?

A Possibly Wise, Possibly Foolish Question…

If there was no ocean, would there be an ocean?

The Meaning of Life?

Not found in words 

Said No One, Probably Ever….

“Nice bucket you have for a head. You even have polka dots for a brain and eels for your ears.”

A Statistic That Probably Never Was or Will Ever Be…

98.9999% of people globally last night wet their pants

From The Great Man Charles Bukowski

But what was fair? Had there ever been any fair time for the little guy? All that shit they were fed about democracy and opportunity was just to keep them from burning down the palace. Sure, once in a while a guy climbed out of the rubble and made it. But for each one of them there were hundreds of thousands down on skid row or in jail or in the mad houses, or suicided or drugged or drunk. And many more working pitiful low-paying jobs, throwing away their years for the merest subsistence.

Slavery had not been eliminated, it had only been expanded to include nine-tenths of the population.
(From his short story, Action. Book, Septuagenarian Stew)


“Well, I saw that coming!”

Go Absurd! Exercise:

While watching a tennis match exclaim loudly,
“That’s interesting saxophones they’re holding there!”

A Sign You Will Probably Never See…

IT
IS
COMING
CUMMING

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?)
