Sarky, In my orifice please.

Not really my friend. Just ponder about what I have to say.

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 07:50PM

Whats that then?

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 07:53PM

Take the designation (as we have discussed) "door". In every day life, we know the word as it is associated with it's function.

But imagine the word has no meaning. It is merely a projection of our own perceptions. What if door means something else to someone else? What if we see different colours to the word red?

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 07:54PM

So, we see different things for the same word? How? When you point at a door and say "door", I know what you mean.

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 07:56PM

Perhaps....Or maybe you just hear what you perceive it to mean.

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 07:56PM

Hmmm....Thats an interesting concept.

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 07:57PM

But thats not all.

Dizzyblabla · 01-09-2005 07:57PM

are you talking to yourself?

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 07:57PM

Oh? Please continue.

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 07:59PM

The word door was made by our perceptions, right?

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:00PM

Indeed.

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:00PM

But our perceptions can betray us, if we find differnt meanings for the same word, correct?

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:01PM

YYyyyyyes....

BEAT · 01-09-2005 08:02PM

no no not yet...Ill have my go when ur all beddies bye

muah ha ha ha ha ha

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:03PM

So, if our perceptions can't be trusted.....there is no door. It is just a creation of our consciousness. It does not exist because our perceptions don't exist. The world does not exist. We do not exist.....

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:04PM

Woah......deep man.

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:05PM

Not really cause I'm an absolute muppet, and not to be trusted.

.....BEAT!!!!!! You ruined me! I thought I had it all this time! The penguin page is lost!

You, my dear lady, need to realise the difference between spam and artistic mysticism.

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:07PM

We are about a hundred posts from statistic immortality!

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:08PM

Ah, I'm reminded of a WB Yeats poem.....

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:08PM

I hate his poetry!

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:09PM

As do I.

"I will arise and go now BLAH BLAH BLAH"

He never arose OR went anywhere!

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:09PM

Anyway, which one was it?

Le Rack · 01-09-2005 08:10PM

funky I thinkyou need a new and improved hobby... Also I'm not fond of Yeats either, he's just a grumpy old sod giving out cuz he couldn't get any!

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:10PM

Sailing to Byzantium.

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:10PM

Ah yes. The "tattered coat upon a stick"

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:12PM

I mean, why would you want to be an immortal piece of gold fashioned in the image of a bird? You'd be melted down and used yo plate a watch for argos or something.

BLEEDIN RAHBBIH!

airetam_storm · 01-09-2005 08:12PM

Actually it was Lake isle Inisfree :rolleyes:

funky penguin · 01-09-2005 08:14PM

Yes I know. But The poem I was originally thinking of was Byzantium. The inisfree quote was just for show.

Sarky, In my orifice please.
