Also, Cain, Who/What is IOZ?

This is awesome.

[Junkenstein]

Bill Hicks
Richard Pryor
Dante Alighieri
Genghis Khan
Dimebag Darrell

Between them I'm pretty sure I've got everything covered.

[Phox]

Hmm.  I will have to consider this.

Machiavelli
Quirrell from HPMoR
Nietzsche
Kierkegaard
IOZ
Voltaire
Hannibal

Mostly, this leads me to doing things which make me giggle inappropriately when I think about them.

IOZ almost made it onto my cabinet. Probably the reason he didn't is because he's so damn inscrutable at times.

I have been considering putting CokeTalk on there as well, but it's interesting enough having Homer on there...he's kinda like cross between a college frat philosophy student and a blind blues pianist.

I love Coquette. Love.

Virgil...  Because Homer can also be a bore and someone had the gall to mention Dante.

[Junkenstein]

Why not Dante? When considering punishments or rewards you need someone around who can get creative.

[Oysters Rockefeller]

^ Fair point.


I mean, he put the pope in Hell.

Not to counter your lead, it was just a matter of precedence I was considering for the passage of things down here.  Of course, I don't believe the company is really worth complaining about?

[Junkenstein]

I'll admit I'm not going to get any points for creative thinking with Dante, but the company is exceptional. Khan and Dante make a formidable pair of bastards when they're angry at someone.

And it's more like 6 popes IIRC. The "Inferno" is pretty much a poetic list of fuckers who should be tortured indefinitely for these wrongs.

I never finished it. It was way too hard.

I may have also focused a little too much on the Inferno.... Oh, well...

Ben Franklin -- Thanks, Phosphatidylserine, Although I have to read more of his stuff...I mean I've been meaning to read the Poor Richard's Almanac for quite some time now. Like, um, the sixth grade?

Be careful what you wish for. The project to edit these and provide footnotes has been going on since the early 50s, and they are projected to finish in about ten years. Franklin also kept all of his shopping lists (which are not being edited, thankfully, though some are referenced in footnotes when applicable)

[Bu🤠ns]

OOhhh Thanks, mate!
