A History of Western Philosophy. With Owls. - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

Cactus Pirate Jr. on May 07 '08 at 2:02pm

Haha! Owl puns.

Cactus Pirate Jr. on May 07 '08 at 2:03pm

I love owls. These are really cool.

BaronVonMonkey on May 07 '08 at 2:04pm

Just don't ask why. I have no idea.

Cactus Pirate Jr. on May 07 '08 at 2:05pm

I think the real question is...why not?

blossompossum on May 07 '08 at 2:08pm

I've said it before for other drawings of yours, but this so awesome. It also reminds me that I should knit a beret sometime.

And I just noticed that you made your account on my birthday.

Pathan Nagel on May 07 '08 at 2:13pm

WIN

BaronVonMonkey on May 07 '08 at 2:22pm

merci, mes amis!

Blossom, everybody needs a beret. Preferably combined with a black turtleneck and some round glasses. Look in thy heart and knit.

blossompossum on May 07 '08 at 2:26pm

If I knew how to read patterns, I might. Perhaps I shall do so today. And eventually post pictures.

kirstenlovesdinner on May 07 '08 at 2:27pm

omg gimme Kowl Marx on a poster!

BaronVonMonkey on May 07 '08 at 2:29pm

I find kowl marx unreasonably hilarious

BaronVonMonkey on May 07 '08 at 4:17pm

Subbed it. Sorry.

phones on May 07 '08 at 4:18pm

lol@ massive head for Kowl!

BaronVonMonkey on May 07 '08 at 4:21pm

It was based on his giant fluffy beard

Framble on May 07 '08 at 4:21pm

You're good... really good.

BaronVonMonkey on May 07 '08 at 4:30pm

cheers fram

blossompossum on May 07 '08 at 5:27pm

I am amused by the fact that the introduction and prefaces of the 1969 publication of The Communist Manifesto take up about 80 pages of the 120.

BaronVonMonkey on May 07 '08 at 5:29pm

Yeah, well the actual thing ain't very long, so you've gotta fill up a bit of space somehow!

blossompossum on May 07 '08 at 5:38pm

Yeah, they do. I've sort of forgotten what this guy was writing about in the intro, though; I just remember Hegel was mentioned somewhere in it.

Oh well, at least the cover has a nice colour scheme.

igo2cairo on May 07 '08 at 11:56pm

This is pure genius! I can barely keep up with all your subs these days.

Amazingly, this managed to make it into the "today's top tees" bit of emptees yesterday- must have been a slow day!

Up now for your delectation/derision!

Today's philosophical thought for the day: "Happiness is a virtue, not it's reward" (Spinoza, 1632-1677). Discuss.

the golden spatula on May 14 '08 at 4:47am

Philosophy! I really was into Nietzsche years ago. I started to read "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" but I failed - didn't understand it :/

BaronVonMonkey on May 14 '08 at 4:49am

Just listen to Götterdämmerung instead. It'll tell you all you need to know. Possibly.

the golden spatula on May 14 '08 at 5:03am

yeah I could do that :)

hm! I wanted to write something philosophical about knowledge and truth, but I can't, it's just to damn difficult to translate - lol

BaronVonMonkey on May 14 '08 at 5:11am

I am in the very very early stages of learning German, so if you give me, say, twenty years, I might then be able to listen to your philosophical musings

the golden spatula on May 14 '08 at 5:18am

hahahaha - 20 years??? I'm gonna be an old woman then... I wonder what threadless looks like in 20 years.

what did you learn yet? are you learning it in school?

BaronVonMonkey on May 14 '08 at 6:01am

No, my schoolin' days are over!
I'm trying to teach myself, so that when I become a nomad trekking around Europe, as is my plan in the next couple of years, I'll have English French and German and thus a good chance of being understood in most places.
So far I haven't progressed much beyond "bitte" and "danke"

BaronVonMonkey on May 14 '08 at 6:02am

Threadless in 20 years will be run entirely by robots, for robots. Robobloggers will be complaining about the cliched use of cute humans in designs

the golden spatula on May 14 '08 at 6:10am

hehe - yesterday I realized that I say "bitte" and "danke" really really often - which I think is a good thing.

that's sound like en exciting plan dude! you plan to travel on foot??

BaronVonMonkey on May 14 '08 at 6:27am

Yes! Maybe with some boats. I want to be like Snufkin in the moomins, living a proto-anarchistic travelling life. For a little while, at least

the golden spatula on May 14 '08 at 7:35am

awww the moomins :)))

BaronVonMonkey on May 14 '08 at 7:54am

I love them!

I went to moomin valley in Finland

BaronVonMonkey on May 15 '08 at 4:41am

I now have two very different owl designs in the running

The Phantom of Owl Canyon - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

Today's philosophical thought for the day:
"Ohhhhhh. Great warrior.Wars not make one great" (Jedi Master Yoda, 1980-1983 [new films count not])
Discuss.

BaronVonMonkey on May 15 '08 at 12:00pm

blossompossum on May 15 '08 at 4:39pm

Uh, sometimes non-violence is best? My brain is a bit fried considering that I just sat/ran/threw shotputs and discuses/played guitar for 7 hours, and now it seems I have a gas bubble in my knee which is causing me slight pain.

And I love those 2 subs. A lot.

BaronVonMonkey on May 16 '08 at 12:28pm

Thanks bloss!
Gas bubbly knee sounds painful. But I hope you can rectify it in a non-violent manner, and not go on a Rambo-esque vendetta against your track and field teachers.

Also, let's take a moment to appreciate this owl:

blossompossum on May 16 '08 at 3:51pm

Ahaha, I'm pretty much incapable of violence (although I have given a girl a black eye, but on accident). And my knee feels fine now; I went for a walk.

I've wanted to travel across a continent mainly on foot since I was 10. You see and experience more, that way.

Also, that owl's expression is priceless.

BaronVonMonkey on May 17 '08 at 5:55am

Yep, trekking is the way to go!

Today's philosophical thought for the day:

"What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do." (Bob Dylan, 1941-)

BaronVonMonkey on May 19 '08 at 6:11am

One more day for these wise old owls

And don't forget this kook:

Twoo

BaronVonMonkey on May 20 '08 at 1:33pm

Finishing very soon... or is it? (discuss)

blossompossum on May 20 '08 at 10:45pm

I'm falling asleep... or am I? (discuss)

Damn JAMC always has this effect on me.

Please score this well, voters, or else!

blossompossum on May 21 '08 at 12:51am

... and one more bump before I completely pass out to be awoken 6 hours later by either very loud country music, Quebecois chanson, or jazz (most likely the first).

BaronVonMonkey on May 21 '08 at 3:50am

2.74- much better than I'd've expected for this! Thanks all y'all!

the golden spatula on May 21 '08 at 3:58am

sweeeeet score :)
