Vodka and Philosophy

Who we are: Armchair philosophers interested in getting to the bottom of life's most intriguing questions and bottles.

Who we are not: People who go around quoting Kant and Hegel, Plato and Wittgenstein (Nietzsche's okay though).

Our purpose: Purpose? We haven't figured that out yet. Why the hell else would we be doing this?

Who should join: Join if you feel so called. Who are we to steer your fate?

Miscellanea: We meet in bars, living rooms, beside railroad tracks and overpasses; rooftops, alleyways, gardens and gutters; we meet because we must meet, whenever, wherever the spirit shall inspire us. We meet as the vodka flows, from gleaming bar backs to bootleg flasks. We drink ours neat, on the rocks, both shaken and stirred, with grapefruit juice, with lime, with Pepto Bismal and a well-earned headache the next day. And we drink because we think; we think to drink, we drink to think.

O to drink the mystic deliria deeper than any other man!
(Whitman)

Get drunk and stay that way.
On what?
On wine, poetry, virtue, whatever.
But get drunk.
(Baudelaire)

"Ahhh - the possibilities . . . Nothing like this in the Philadelphia area! Have to dust off my NJ Transit schedule. Actually, I've been known to travel to NYC fairly frequently. Truly enjoyed the description on your home page."

"To paraphrase Housman: "Vodka does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to men." Though for this occasion I'll add: "But if you put them both together, you will create the strongest tether.""

"I have an idea: how much of what you actually think is your own independent thoughts, versus how you were shaped by family and society? Feel free to modify it....see you guys tomorrow! I am bringing my S.O. as well."
