The Return Of Rothkoid

Are you sure that all you sheepdrone people just don't want to be a cattledrome instead?

12:03 / 22.07.02

I want to be a hippodrome.

'As a working property, combined with the Sheep and Cattledrome "Theatre of the Land", a holiday at Rossmore Park offers you the ultimate farm holiday resort experience.'

You know, I got this close to trying to make a case for the Wisconsin Dells having that beat, but then I remembered I don't even give a shit.

"Pfffah. Writing? Writey stuff? How poncey. Writing is just a way of making people feel inferior, you intellectual elitist, you. Also writing leads to reading and reading makes people have strange bad ideas. Why read anyway? We have digital television now! Put down that book and join me in the Sheepdrone TV lounge. We can have our ration of Sheepdrone Mash dropped from the big pipes in the ceiling. Lovely Sheepdrone Mash in front of the nice big telly. Mmmmmm...."

You are Roger Scruton and I claim my five pounds!

I want to be a brickie when I grow up. My father-in-law is making 500 quid a week (take-home) building walls. Bastard! And he won't be short of work for a long time cos there aren't enough young'uns going into the business (he's 69) and council commitments to house building = plenty of demand. Same with plumbing. Hard work, but practical, which means real job satisfaction.

I say jack in those Uni courses and enrol on a City and Guilds.

Too right - where did my philosophy degree get me?

I'd argue that I derive a lot of job satisfaction and enjoyment, [as opposed to hard cash] if it weren't for the fact that I'll be unemployed in 14 days time. On the plus side, I'll soon be able to spend a lot of time thinking.

No, sorry, wanking. I meant wanking.

Yeah, Philosophy degrees suck. Three-and-a-half years I spent debating the nature of reality and thought, and now what am I doing? Hanging out with a bunch of imaginary people inside a computer somewhere.

Nah, fuck it. I'm gonna be an anteater.
