demosthenes' Profile

 

About this Member

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable. Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table. David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel, and Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was twice as sloshed as Schlegel. There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raising of the wrist. Socrates himself was permanently pissed. John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, on half a pint of shandy was particularly ill. Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a cask of brandy every day. Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle etc. Can't remember the rest - sorry.
