Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
and Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed. :beer:
:toast:

1. Is your name not Bruce, then?
Gonna cause a bit of confusion.

Perhaps we could ask the Padre for a prayer.

2. This here's the wattle
The emblem of our land
You can stick it in a bottle
You can hold it in your hand
AMEN

4. It's a Monty Python song, I cannot take credit
My SO was going to send it to her professor in lieu of a written paper on the philosophy of education, but I talked her out of it, thank god.

5. That's what I meant, the song
Schopenhauer should be in the fourth line.

6. Hmmmm...the version I downloaded doesn't have Schopenhauer
I was hoping to buy Live at the Hollywood Bowl, but there's not a DVD as yet.

7. Schopenhauer and Hegel
is the fourth line in the version I have (a 7 inch two record set I bought 30 years ago with printed lyrics).
