Dearest Friends. Over the course of our friendship you will no doubt you have noticed some of the fruitful questions which I like to bring out now and again. While comical and innocent in their natures, I have recently realized that questions like "who are you wearing?", "soo who does everyone like?" , and "what are your ideal spitting conditions?" hold infinite potential. If slightly adjusted every now and again, such questioning can result in a riveting dialogue on par with those of Plato, Xenophon, and the like. Thus, I have taken to creating a list of new questions every month in hopes of stirring up fine conversation. Also, in an unrelated note, I have a lot of time on my hands and am rather bored at the moment.
February's questions are:
1) What literary/philosophical giant would you be most likely to spit game at and how would you spit?
'Spitting on a literary/philosophical giant' is grounded in discovering one's philosophical and literary tastes. For example, spittin' in the face' of say, Frederick Douglass, shows ones interest in the social and political climate surrounding early American slavery, a desire to understand the human spirit, and a strong delight in the hands of a dark dark and oh so tempting Nubian prince.
2) If St. Thomas Aquinas, Walt Whitman, and Paps got into a cage match who would win?
Aquinas was an absolute genius but a little rotund, Walt Whitman have may been a bit of a fairy, and Paps is dangerous when it comes to baking biscuits.
3) Why do you think it was that I was quoted "Seascape, Soul-scape: Moby Dick," the final project of UD's own late Dr. Eugene C. Curtsinger. Was it because I am: a) awesome, b) really really ridiculously good looking, c) just that insightful, or d) create your own answer because I haven't figured it out yet!
and finally!
4) If you were Jewish and had to abstain from all forms of pork, would you still hang out with Anne?
Anne is a hog. Most often she hogs herself. Occasionally others hog her. Regardless, bacon is pretty amazing and addicting.
And there you have it. Should you like to post an answer to this question, or any other one, you can simply post your results on my newly created gmail blogger: Shadows from the Cave (http://shadowsfromthecave.blogspot.com). As a side note, this isn't really a blog where I will post anything else but a month's questions. Also, I do not mean to supplant Peter's blog A Draught of Vintage which all of you should really be spending your time on. No, this is a fun forum, meant to be above all silly, witty, non-academic, and open to anyone who might call themselves our friends. Cheers!
Yours truly,
Joshua Mahan
