Title: Candide in America
Subtitle: “All is for the best… in the best of all possible tax brackets.”

[EXT. SUBURBAN STRIP MALL – FLORIDA – DAY]

CANDIDE, wide-eyed and ever-optimistic, now wears a red Make America Great Again hat slightly askew. He’s holding a Chick-fil-A milkshake in one hand and a dog-eared copy of The Art of the Deal in the…[Read more]

Thanks Strega, Unseen gave me the idea and this eternal waiting for a remote server to reboot allowed me the time……and there it is as I pen these words….back as a mirror image of itself from 90 minutes ago….its present state identical to its past…….and me with a little less gray matter and a lot more gray hair…….:-)

Title: W.L. Craig and the Cosmological Flatulence
Subtitle: “Yes, it began to exist… but that doesn’t mean it was mine.”

[INT. UNIVERSITY DEBATE STAGE – NIGHT]

The room is hushed. WILLIAM LANE CRAIG sits onstage beside a noted atheist philosopher. Midway through a point about the Kalam Cosmological Argument, a loud, unmistakable FART echoes ac…[Read more]

Title: Jordan Peterson and the Stopped Clock
Subtitle: “What do you mean it’s right twice a day?”

[INT. KITCHEN – EARLY MORNING. JORDAN PETERSON stands before a wall clock. It reads 11:37. It has read 11:37 for several days. He is visibly distressed, mug in hand, posture impeccable. There’s a camera crew filming a documentary behind him.]

Title: IKEA: Thus Spoke Flatpack Zarathustra
Subtitle: “God is dead. And so is the Allen key.”

[INT. IKEA – SHOWROOM MAZE – DAY]

FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE wanders the endless labyrinth of display rooms. He wears a thick mustache and the expression of a man who just read his own Yelp reviews. Blue-and-yellow signage hangs above him like the oppress…[Read more]

Title: Simone de Beauvoir Visits the LEGO Aisle
Subtitle: “One is not born a mini-doll, but rather becomes one.”

[INT. TOY STORE – LEGO SECTION – DAY]

Title: Camus and the Claw Machine
Subtitle: “One must imagine Sisyphus… at the arcade.”

[INT. SEASIDE ARCADE – EVENING]

[INT. TOY STORE – MIDDAY]

Bright lights. Aisles of blinking plastic joy. Enter JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, trench coat flapping, cigarette hanging precariously from his lip. He scans the shelves with existential dread. A CHEERFUL TOY STORE ASSISTANT approaches, smiling.

ASSISTANT:
Bonjour! Can I help you find something for your child?

SARTRE (gruff):
I h…[Read more]

[INT. DOMINO’S PIZZA COUNTER – NIGHT]

A weary DOMINO’S TEENAGER in uniform leans over the counter, chewing gum. Enter MARTIN HEIDEGGER, dressed in a long coat and scarf, brow furrowed with cosmic angst. He surveys the menu like it contains the secret to Being.

DOMINO’S TEENAGER:
Hey there! Welcome to Domino’s. What can I get ya?

HEIDEGGER (sl…[Read more]

Imagine the panic and frustration that must cause the remaining members of the regime 🙂 What else do they know about us and how do they know it!!

Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they are watching you!

I am a few Iranian friends here in Ireland. They are ex-Muslims and have not been back to Iran for 24 years. They are hoping that the regime topples soon and are thanking Israel already. I was speaking with my friend in Ukraine today.  He said they are so happy that Israel is actively attacking the Iranian drone manufacturing facilities. They…[Read more]

Sorry Enco…Yes the first video is the one you meant. I had repeated the link for it for the last video, which I have now fixed. So click ‘lost’ again 🙂

Have a great week everyone!

One of my client sites has a 50/50 mix of Filipinos and Europeans. What I note about the Filipinos is that they are laid back even when working hard, which is always and yet they are always smiling and joking.  I brought in some Ube Halaya for someone’s birthday recently. When I told them the name of the shop I got it in (in Dublin) they started…[Read more]

Around 2001 I had a short-term contract where I managed a project for Xerox to install several printers in a large company in Belfast, across 3 sites. My contact on their side was a Unionist who made it very clear to me that he hated people from “the South”. He did not actually say anything directly to me but we both instinctively knew which “tr…[Read more]
