Friendship Grows with Magic Friends

...Indeed.


I feel like I ought to be puffing a pipe, drinking brandy and discussing the foreign economy .

If you were, I would be huddled in the corner crying.

I've only read articles about Mencken's Social Darwinist tones in his writing, but nothing more, so I'm afraid I'd be of little help.

Dang.

I will be no one's favorite!

You mean I can't pick you as my favorite!?

Isn't that necessitated by my humanity?

Yes!

I assume the brandy will be from a nice large goblet-style glass.
And the setting will be a personal library with oak shelves, a muted red carpet, and 2-3 antique leather chairs.

You forgot about the fireplace, there is always a fireplace. :lookaroun

The image is beautiful.

It's hot here; I didn't think the fireplace was necessary.
Gas lamps, though, might suffice for the same effect.

Hmmm... I suppose that the fireplace could be replaced by gas lamps. But if we axed the fireplace, then there has to be a window concealed by curtains of heavy material.

It's going in my eventual home.
Although I suppose that require money and whatnot.

Have your window, I'm more concerned about a few busts. I'm thinking Shakesphere is too common. Perhaps Hobbes, Franklin, or Voltaire?

I have Homer and Aristotle in my room. You can keep your Hobbes and Voltaire, I want a Bach bust.

 

[WDWSwashbuckler]

Oh, and Washington and John Quincy Adams, because I love them both.

Do you collect busts of everyone you love? :lookaroun

 

[WDWSwashbuckler]

Do you collect busts of everyone you love? :lookaroun

Well, though I prefer the philosophy of Plato to Aristotle's nominalism, I suppose I still do love Aristotle, so the answer is yes.

OT: Should I be prepared to create a new thread or will someone else? :shrug:

I don't want Voltaire; he's not much to talk about.
What about Socrates or Plato?

Oh, and Washington and John Quincy Adams, because I love them both.

I'll take Franklin, FDR, and Warren over Quincy any day.

:lookaroun

No. Just stop talking. Let the morning people worry about it.

Good plan. And on that note, I am off to attempt to fall asleep. Night to all.

:wave: To whoever of the morning people finds the thread first. Love you.

 

[Pongo]

So it WASN'T farewell before?

I suppose this is, then.

 

[WDWSwashbuckler]

I love Plato, but all the busts of Socrates depict him as he was: an ugly old pug-nosed man. Not exactly a noble asset to a private library.
I love "Quincy" for the simple fact that he was such a bad a@@ in developing our foreign and domestic policy before, during and well after his administration. If you ever have the chance and want to be humored, you ought to read about "Quincy", Jackson and the US acquisition of Florida. (The Adams-Onis Treaty)

 

[Pongo]

I think I'd like a bust of myself.

 

[Connor002]

Farewell to what? arms?

It could be a conversation piece.

Isn't acquisition too kind of a word to describe how Jackson invaded and imposed military rule on Florida?

I think I'd like a bust of myself.

We're looking for noble assets.
In case you missed that part.

 

[WDWSwashbuckler]

Nah, I was really referring to the way Adams gleefully cleaned up the mess in the favor of the US.
