It's a poodle... set it on delicate. - Butthead It's a Tao thing, there is nothing TO understand. It's a Zen thing, trying to understand won't help. It's about to hit the fan!

Listen to what experts say can't be done. Then do it. Listen with the breath. - Chuang Tzu Live life like there's no yesterday. Living life on the edge of insanity. Locked my coathanger in the car.

Microsoft: putting the "backward" into "backward compatible." Militant Evangelical Taoists: Send money, but not to us! Minimum wage for politicians. Moe! Larry! The cheese! Moe! Larry! The cheese! Mommy! The Ascended Masters are TEASING me again! Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. - H.G. Wells More fun than picking your nose with a hot-dog tong. Most people don't look dumb till they start talkin'. Most people would rather die than think. Many do. - Russell Mr. Custer? Can I be excused for the rest of the afternoon? Muddling in the puddle of my stream of consciousness... Must go... some Jehovah's Witnesses need shouting at. My HMO assigned me to Dr. Kevorkian. My inner child is a sick little bastard.

Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional. Paul Lynde to block... People will believe anything if you whisper it. Permit someone to make you angry, and they conquer you. PHENOMINAL COSMIC POWERS... itty-bitty tagline space. Philosophy is to the real world as masturbation is to sex. Philosophy that can be put in a nutshell belongs there. Philosophy: A route leading from nowhere to nothing. Pie Iesu Domine... dona eis requiem... Plan to throw one away. You will anyhow. Please God, could I just have my rib back instead?

So many Nymphs, so little time. - Pan Some days it's not worth chewing through the restraints. Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill.

Take off from thyself the wrappings of limitations. Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. - Euripides Taxation WITH representation isn't so hot, either. Thank you for not being perky. That makes *two* people I know with a dog named Gabby. That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest. That which does not kill me had better make sure I don't get up. That without substance can enter where there is no room. The annoying thing about organized religion is that it isn't. The answer is ashdkjhasdhgsaghjadgasdsad. The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms. The best armor is to keep out of range. The best things in life aren't things. The best way to get praise is to die.

The good news is that the bad news was wrong. The graveyards are full of indispensable men. - Napoleon The greatest joy in life is doing what people say you cannot. The greatest man in history was the poorest. The hands that help are holier than the lips that pray. The key is to give them something they're not expecting.

The more you know, the less you understand - Lao Tzu The only argument against the wind is to put on a coat. The only imperfect thing in nature is the human race. The only time we'll disagree is when you're wrong. The only tool diplomacy has is language. The only victory over love is flight. - Napoleon The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal. The peacemaker is never in the way. The Philosophy Shop - Your source for discounted ideas The problem isn't ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge. The proof of gold is fire. - Ben Franklin The quest for enlightenment is dangerous to the caterpillar. The real in us is silent; the acquired is talkative. - Gibran The reverse side also has a reverse side. - Japanese proverb The sacred lies in the ordinary.

The unexamined life is not worth living. - Socrates The universe looks smooth, if you stand back far enough. The waitress drew a smiley face on my check. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete - Lao Tzu The way that is spoken of is not the enlightened way. The wise man reads books and life itself. - Lin Yutang The words of the prophets are written in the tagline files. The words were out before I had the chance to stop them. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. - Twain Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?" There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. There are some remedies worse than the disease. There is a tiny plant here, murmuring "water, water". There is an absolute truth, but language fails miserably. There is no joy without affliction. There is no need to seek truth; only stop having views. There's a fine line between wise and weird. There's intelligent life on earth, but I'm just visiting. There's no recession. I just LIKE being underemployed! They always find me anyway. They told me I was gullible... and I believed them. Thieves demand your money or your life; women want both. Things are more like they used to be than they are now. Think hard now! Which one is Shinola? This beats a waltz with a wet ferret in a fusebox. This incarnation has been my most gruelling. - Dalai Lama This is God. STOP! This isn't Hell, but you can see it from here. This message is from a real cunning linguist! This tagline vibrates if you rub it the right way. Those easily offended should be frequently offended. Those who want the fewest things are closest to the gods. Three out of five people aren't the other two. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Time is not a line, but a series of now-points. To a man with an empty stomach, food is God. - Gandhi To attract a vegetarian, make a noise like a wounded vegetable. To be, and not to be - Zen Shakespeare To believe possibilities is not faith, but philosophy.

To lead the people, walk behind them. - Lao Tzu To learn more about paranoids, follow them around! To live is to risk dying. To live long, it is necessary to live slowly. - Cicero To make the gods laugh, tell them your plans. To not know is bad; to wish to not know is worse. To not understand a man's purpose does not make HIM confused. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill. To suppress a truth is to give it a force beyond endurance. To teach is to learn twice. To the Caliph I am dirt, but to dirt, I am Caliph. To tolerate everything is to teach nothing. Today the sun, tonight the MOON! WHEN WILL IT END? Today's heathen-burning is brought to you by the Holy Church! Tomorrow the sun comes up in the west. Total Spiritual Enlightenment helps me score with the babes. True greatness knows gentleness. Truth is a clap of the hands. Try not. Do, or do not. There is no "try." Two monologues do not make a dialogue. Uhh... we're, like, closed or something. Go away. Ultimately, good will triumph over evil, cuz good is cute. Unbreakable toys are useful for breaking other toys. Using birdseed, get pigeons to spell out nasty words. Vehemence is no guarantee of truth. - Isaac Asimov Veteran, Bermuda Triangle Exploration Team: 1999-1955 Vidi, vici, veni - I saw, I conquered, I came. Virginia is for lovers, but Pennsylvania has Intercourse. Vitrum edere possum; mihi non nocet. Wasting time is an important part of living. Watch out... the paranoids are after you. We all come from Tao and to Tao we shall return. We are here to ridicule reality. Where is it? We can't help him, nurse; he has on dirty underwear. We cannot be both innocent and silent witnesses.

We do not recognize our souls until they are in pain. - Crow We have enough youth; how about a fountain of SMART? We must all make sacrifices. You may be next. We need not think alike to love alike. We'll make him listen to whiny protest songs from the sixties. We're lost, but we're making good time. Wear audacious underwear under the most solemn business attire. Welcome to the Future! It's just starting now... Well, gotta go clean the blood off my clown suit... Went outside yesterday. It was very big. Went back in. What are the instructions doing in the trash?? What fuggin Indians?! - Custer What happens if you touch these two wires togeth What I lack in restraint, I make up for in remorse. What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today!

When you deal with the insane, always pretend you're sane. When you seek it, you cannot find it. - Zen proverb Where was Mrs. Robinson when I was a teenager? Where will YOU be when your laxative starts working? Where you've been means much less than where you're going. Wherever you live is your temple if you treat it like one. Why attack God? He may be as sad about us as we are. Why buy cologne when you can wipe a magazine on you? Why is the universe here? Where else would it be? Will cure virgins for food. Wisdom consists of knowing when to avoid perfection. With friends like these, who needs hallucinations? Woman is a two-edged sword... driven through your skull. Women may not hit harder, but they may hit lower. Women take to good-hearted men. Also from. Women? Equality? Good, I hate holding doors! Worrying is praying for what you don't want Yes, God has a sense of humor. No, I don't understand it. You are approaching Tao. Continue, but don't look for it. You can never become happy.

My sundial is slow. You will be told about it tomorrow. Go home and prepare. You'll never see me quoted in a tag - David Carlson You're all insane and trying to steal my magic bag! You're being followed; cut out the hanky-panky for a few days. You've been a bad girl. Now go to my room. You, you, and you - panic. The rest of you, come with me. Your analyst has you confused with another patient. Your boss is thinking about you. Your daily life is your temple and your religion. - Gibran Your ex just called... she's with the IRS now. Your god died for your sins? What did you do? Your proctologist called; your head is ready. Zeal without knowledge is fire without light.
