A Lamp for an Honest Man




Have you ever closed the door to your bedroom, while you stood outside it? The lights on within, coming from out the door's bottom cracks- have you seen what traipses of ourselves we leave as sights for others?

My apple-polly-logdies to daddy for yet again hijacking the senate.

And to him: no harm done. Jobs are another iteration of eve's apple- to be eaten at our own expense-- So sayeth he of no employ or prospect.

Now, on this fair Sunday morning of senate, I harassed all you, my fellow senators and friends, here in these wee-hours of morning to discuss one thing: Diogenes the Cynic or Diogenes of Sinope as some know him.

But I will not type another word about him, you can wikipedia him as can I- the rest is left for mouths and mornings and coffees and sunshine converse.


Out Out! You Abstract Mind! Give me practical, give me sense!

And so be it:


Here is an MSPaint mock-up of my latest invention. Pragmatic in the utmost.
Many worry in these Massachusetts winters, about roofs collapsing under duress of snow weight. And while poor options exist for snow removal-- I have here a theoretical prototype which solves all complications. Consisting of four poles-board-ropes and pulley system, this model will remove the dangers of chaos and endangerment from any roof-snow clean up process. One rope pulls the board-runned by the four poles- down, dragging snow along with
& two adjacent side ropes return the board to its primed snow removal position.
I drew these plans over salad after dinner.

In the words of albert einstein:
Self, you've got to stop masturbating before noontime-- it drags down the rest of the day.



I hope your morning is as stupid as this post is.

Amen.

  1. Diogenes is truly a Socrates gone mad.
    "Other dogs bite only their enemies, whereas I bite also my friends in order to save them." This sentiment is of great relevance here on the senate floor as I hope we bite each other with the same motivation.

    I too stand outside my bedroom door playing out the shadows I create and can only imagine what its like to see my artisan life trapeze act. But as for the "practical" roof snow removal plans/design I can only stand dizzy from the raw stupidity it shows. I would also like to note that you spent far more time with the MSpaint plans for the rubber-glove&vacuum dick sucking machine you posted all that time ago.

    Either way I enjoyed you palate cleansing post and would like to second the Einstein quote.

  2. Transmission from Senator. Stop.
    Nero! I remembered today one other aspect of Diogenes that was significant at the time but now seems quaint: his actions considering "custom"

    "The coinage of custom must be eradicated."

  3. It took but one line on the page to see the value of Diogenes to the Senate, and to Senator.

    "Diogenes was one of the few men to ever publicly mock Alexander the Great and live."

    Here on Senate we mock the Alexander the Greats and intellectually insult the Platos with each post. It may not be intentional, but perhaps is in our often, less then apt analysis of matters far beyond the reaches of our minds arrogantly stuffed with our own egos yet hungry for meaningful exchange.

    Plato was a skinny nerd in an over-sized toga and Alexander was a momma's boy who couldn't get out of a man's rectum long enough to conquer Eastern Asia.

  5. When Diogenes noticed a prostitute's son throwing rocks at crowd, Diogenes said to him "Careful, son. Don't hit your father."
