Fortune philosophy

[vvvexation]

Every time I get an interesting fortune-cookie fortune, I feel like I should hang on to it, but there's no real point in doing that unless I set aside a place to keep them all so I don't lose them, and I can't think of a suitable place because really, what's a good place to keep things that small? Besides, I'm trying to cut down on my pack-rat tendencies and stop hanging on to random objects. So I end up just throwing them away. But now, thanks to the magic of LiveJournal, I can keep them in memory without having to stash away the actual pieces of paper. (Of course, I technically could've done that from the moment I first bought a computer, but I'm just so much more motivated to write down silly things when I can inflict them on a bunch of my friends (and a few random lurkers--hi, lurkers!) at the same time.)

(Incidentally, I think that may have been the first time I've ever used parentheses within parentheses. I feel so...naughty.)

Anyway, tonight I ate at a place I can't remember the name of, but I think I'll want to go back if I'm ever in that part of town again. I didn't think much of the service, but the portions were large and they served most excellent sesame balls along with the fortune cookies. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. And the fortune that prompted this entire post was: Reasonable people endure. Passionate people live in bed.

Sounds good to me.

naughty?!? Nesting parentheticals rule!

No, no, I don't miss LISP at all, why do you ask?

It's always hard, the first time, to multiply parenthesize your own writing; you need to get up the will to, well... brace yourself.

So emiently reasonble people who are also passionate endure in bed?

Our fortune cookie game goes even further. Therefore,

Reasonable people endure. Passionate people live in bed with Bob Dole.

If that's not a good ad for Viagra, I don't know what is.
