Woodsroad - Great quote from Dennis Hopper, referring to Colonel Kurtz, in Apocalypse Now.

 

[mso489]

"Mista Kurtz, he dead." From Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness," on which "Apocalypse Now" is based.

In AN, Marlon Brando played the Kurtz character.

Without getting into a heavy philosophical debate

"Dog that SHITS fast, Don't Shit long"...

I guess I am a simple man as well, I smoke what tastes good and could care less what is in it. if it is sprinkled in fairy dust, I am good with that also.

StarCat,

where art thou brother?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I think Starcat scattered back into orbit after the Peterson debacle that led to posts of epic silliness and people getting their panties in wads of equal proportions.

 

[drwatson]

Oh just a bump for nostalgia!

Eeek! A starcat thread. Look away, look away!

Eeek! A starcat thread. Look away, look away!

It could be worse... might have been a Haja post! :rofl:

This is classic Starcat alright. In fact upon reading this OP again, I'm surprised it didn't result in an even greater forum meltdown than the infamous deleted thread.

This SC posting was coherent. The Peterson one was something else altogether.

Okay, that's enough tomfuckery for one night.

 

[aldecaker]

Starcat's real name was Tom? I did not know that.

All artifice is an attempt to mimick something from creation

The idea of creation, is, in itself, an artifice. So, everything built on that premise is shit. I am not taking near enough drugs, nor the right kind, to enjoy this mindfuckery. Mayfair out! Fire bad!

Whoa, this place used to be a transcendentalist? Trippy, I dabbled in my less discriminating youth. Getting existential and discussing metaphysics is fun but lets be real, the universe doesn't exist, there's nothing but numbers radiating out from and being consumed back into the supreme nothing. That's where the phrase "when your number is up" came from. It's the same thing with time too, time and space are interchangeable, I time travel everywhere. Or maybe time and space are inverted, the universe is a doughnut and time is three dimensional? Orrrr..

That is true, just don't bring up lighters. :mrgreen:

Dude...that's almost exactly right...you've just about got it all figured out...

Can't just give it away, I'm allowed close enough to plant seeds though....
