Well, it's less philosophy and more a discussion on the nature of the human condition, but that doesn't really make it any better.

Also, seminal?

Roughly means "very important."

I've never read Kafka, myself, save for one excerpt from The Trial.

Well since the thread's a bit listless, how about another topic.

What Monty Python and the Holy Grail characters would everypony be? I'm surprised we never covered that before.

King Arthur - Twilight
Patsy - Spike
Sir Bedivere - Applejack
Sir Lancelot - Rainbow Dash
Sir Galahad - Rarity
Sir Robin - Fluttershy
French Knights - Pinkie Pie
God - Celestia
Sir Not Appearing - Luna
Tim the Enchanter - Trixie
Knights Who Say Ni - Diamond Dogs

Life of Brian is better.

You're trying to make me read philosophy now, Story?

I mentioned it becasue you said you liked slow painful transformations.

@Pannic I don't think I laughed once at Life Of Brian

Last night my dog somehow found away into a tiny crawlspace between two fences to give birth to (a? some?) puppies. I have no idea how I'm going to get back there to try and get the puppy out, but I really need too, it gets up to 90 degrees right now during the day and will soon be hitting the 100s. Here goes...

@Story well it isn't particularly slow or painful. I got the impression that he just woke up like that one day.

And it has a downer ending... wonderful

Least it hasn't been quoted to death.

#224286 Japanese Teeth Thu, 14th Jun '12 5:03:09 PM from Meinong's jungle

Life of Brian is good, but Holy Grail is more memorable. And I see the Diamond dogs as the three heads of that giant dude.

Anyway, off to get a haircut and then choir.

Yes but he does get worse over time.

@Bluespade Can you remove the fences?

Everything's been done. Everything has a meaning. However your life at best is to serve as a building block for others.

I always disliked the ending of Holy Grail. Felt like a cop out (I'm aware that it was due to budget restraints, doesn't excuse it)

A cop out? That's literally what it was!

I think the Knights Who Say Ni are more fitting, especially with the whole being defeated by talking thing.

Holy Grail suffers from a nasty case of Seinfeld Is Unfunny.

I really don't like sudden endings like that one.

It disgusted me.

I still find parts of Holy Grail funny. but there's lots of it that just goes on and on.

Like the peasants talking about systems of government

@crow Agreed

I think I was lucky enough to not have the wohle thing ruined before I saw it the first time.

I prefer The Meaning of Life

Gully Foyle is my name, and Terra is my nation. Deep space is my dwelling place, and death's my destination.

Can you remove the fences?

Well yeah. But that would have the somewhat unfortunate side effect of losing the fences.

@Drenius Yay, I loved that one too

Me too. Twenty minutes of blank screen is just boring. And come on, the peasents was the best part!
