What is the meaning of life ?
Self replicate indefinitely... sneeze orgasmically upon the breaths of touching flesh ..... dream impossible dreams and sailing towards unreachable shores.



or eating pig fat that curdles in our veins while falling into a TV screen

1. Life is good.
That's it, folks.

Eat good food. Love a lot.

3. There is no meaning, really.
We are born. We pay taxes for the Republicans to spend on bombs, biological warfare, chemical warfare, their rich buddies, and guns, then we die.

In the meantime, if we are incredibly lucky, we get drunk, high, loaded, laid, eat some good meals and make a few good friends along the way.

My best estimate:
If you absolutely must find some meaning to it all, look in the second paragraph, not the first.

And if you must have something to believe in, in life, believe in yourself. There are no heroes. The next best thing is being you. That will usually suffice.

:hug:

4. Here it is
"O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from Heaven's yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about."
-- by "William Shakespeare"

Yes, the Hokey-Pokey is what it is all about.

(via Jose Diablo)

11. Life is what you make of it.
Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 05:55 PM by bigwillq
There will be good days and bad. There will be things you cannot control.

But there are a lot of things you can control. If you make the best of the things you can control, life will be good!

20. Hot women and cold beer.
Or hot men and cold beer, if that's more appropriate.


If you have hot beer and cold men/women, you're doing it wrong.

:P

26. And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make
... or was it "And the three men I admire most, the father, son, and the Holy Ghost, they took the last train to the coast, the day the music died"? I know one of those two is the meaning of life, and I can never keep it straight.
