"...but to be fair and charitable to the compatibilists...which I'm not really that inclined to do..."

"Break my contract with the sovereign? NO WAY! ..now I gotta change my pants."

"The next time you're out with your boyfriend or girlfriend and feeling frisky, just remember...SHEEN."

"I like my music to be like a sledgehammer - corrosive and delivering mass force trauma."

"What if you cried out to God on your death bed, but God finally died of old age? He was like...20 billion and seven, and that's just as old as he gets."

Howdy folks! It is with eager grabbing motions that I accept the torch from our dear friend Will, who graduates this Spring and has taken all the Wyma required for a college degree. The site won't change much, I'll just be in charge of keeping track of, and posting quotes, -isms, and the like. Let me know if you've written down something that I missed.

Yours ever so truly,
Lars Katz Gaarde.


Now without further ado, here are some great ones from the first few days of class:

"We're so chalk full of tasty philosophical goodness."

"Either that's real philosophical spirit or real masochism."

"...and for those of you who haven't had a class with me before - yes, this is my handwriting."

"Getting to this classroom is like walking through someone's bedroom to get to their bathroom." - on History of Modern Philosophy being held in the basement of Alder Hall.

"People say Descartes is the father of modern philosophy. I think the father of modern philosophy is more like Sir William of Ockham, who knocked up medieval philosophy. Descartes is more like the first born."

Edit: I expect you guys to treat Lars as if he were me. That means you send him your quotations, and all that sort of crap. I'll still maintain my status as an admin, so if you have any complaints or difficulties, let me know.
