I too have a collection of great philosophers. You all know them. They include, but are not limited too, Shaggy (from Scooby Doo), Otis (from the Andy Griffith show), Floyd (Lawson) the barber (from the andy griffith show) and most definitely Seashell.
Why you ask those four? Well, Shaggy had many great philosophical ideas, but the best was his relating of life and the everyday shennanigans to food. I too can relate to that. Otis, well come on, this guy knew everything. When he got wasted, he still let himself into his jail cell. Otis wasn't a dummy. You never saw him drink and drive. Andy nor Barney ever had to give him a DWI. Floyd the barber is an easy one. Floyd could answer any of the worlds questions with a zippy one liner. His ideas were so profound, Andy, Barney nor Goober ever realized they were getting a crappy haircut. Oh yeah, and he was seeing Clara the phone operator on the side...yeah, it was happening!
That brings me to Seashell. She (being the only women in the list) is probably the most profound member of my selections. I quote her when she said "I miss playing soccer. In fact, I miss doing anything that requires physical activiy, although I guess you could call marching physical, but for the sake of argument we won't."
or my other favorite quote: "Your Face..."
These two, dare I say, insights into life, will keep me pondering my own existence for many minutes to come. Yes, Seashell, I will be 40 in 5 years, and you will be reaching your mid-20's. That's the pre-cursor for OLD LADY! HA!
I also must say I like Descartes also, he makes a great mustard! Or was that his car in "Back to the Future?" I can never get that straight...
