"Papa -- what is the purpose of always having a new generation?"
"To make the old one sick enough to throw up."
The Latest Thought was Entitled:
"When alone -- I find myself in the-company-of-scholars."
Tip: Being young doesn't help if you're already dead.
Question: Would the "smartest man in the world" be very popular?
Another "Thinker's Law":
A thinker thinks about a lot of things.
And on Happy City's Day, one city got so happy and carried-away that it cried out, in greeting a local thinker: "Why you old childish twit you!" And they slapped each other on the back, and both had a real good laugh.
The final song the band played that night was:
To think, and to know that you think, is to live on the cutting-edge;
and to live on the cutting-edge is to forever live in the middle of sun-rise.
Neurons will tell you anything!
-- because they can never "back-it-up"--
Hormones will tell you anything! --
because they don't have to!
On a higher plane, independent thinkers are the original, the ultimate,
the supreme, and the final-word in "bull-headedness"!
(Remember, I said on a "higher plane"!)
As he struggled to free himself from the neural vines of the city and to think afresh, one man pondered: "If I call one-thing something-else, then what can I call something-else the next time I see it!?" That is the kind of question only a thinker could love. "I say sir, would you like to move in a little closer, and pose with your family for this shot!? Oh, I beg your pardon, I didn't immediately recognize you as a thinker and thus having no 'family,' with whom to publicly pose." Neurons, neurons, who's got the neurons!? “Honey, did you bring the mayonnaise and corkscrew!? Now you kids calm down and stop that!”
From the "Perceptual, Proboscis Parade":
To a thinker -- everything in the city smells suspiciously similar.
Info Systems Update For The Super-Literate:
To a thinker, the "condensed edition" is the only edition.
All right now back to Definitions: City Complexity:
City simplicity -- dragged out. A thinker not only "covers-all-bases," but won't even play if he didn't get to bring his own bases with him.
The "Live-Ball" Rule: If it ain't funny -- don't laugh at it; if it ain't funny, it ain't alive and in-play.
Nutritional News:
If you let your mind
Feed in town,
Graveyard scraps will
Bring you down.
