Nein Quarterly Update


THE ABSURD TIMES

What better proof the we live in absurd times when Nein makes more sense than all public figures put together? 
When did the public figures get together?

I am mellow lately.  A couple weeks ago, a little old African-American lady, dressed in her Sunday best, said "I'd like to share with you the most important day that ever existed.  I looked at her and smiled.  She then handed me a smallish drawing of some guy who looked like Fabio but had the name "Jesus" written under it.

I simply thanked her for thinking about me, said "You really didn't have to," and closed the door.  She?  Aint I sweet?

The thinking man's aphorisms (you assed for him):



Tweets

    Yet another crisis of overproduction.

  2. DAAD North America @DAADnewyork4m

    One word floating around the Twitterverse today is "Backpfeifengesicht" - Ah, German...a word for everything!

  9. Nein. @NeinQuarterly22m

    Maybe God isn't dead. Maybe he just changed avatars.

    It'd be interesting if the Thomas who did all the doubting also did all the peeping.

  14. Nein. @NeinQuarterly35m

    If only society's ills were as fleeting as its activist avatars.

  15. Nein. @NeinQuarterly37m

    I regret to inform you that your temporary activist avatar is unlikely to have any lasting effect.

  16. Nein. @NeinQuarterly40m

    I like to praxis on your theory.

    Carlin was not a comedian, he was a philosopher with a good sense of humour.

    I'm just here to test your faith.

    Easter is when religion goes from scrambled to hard-boiled.

  29. Nein. @NeinQuarterly1h

    I wonder if these jelly beans are supposed to taste like crucifixion.

  30. Nein. @NeinQuarterly1h

    Nietzsche taught us that the good news is also the bad news.

  34. Nein. @NeinQuarterly1h

    Good news: Samuel Beckett says spring will be arriving soon!

  35. Nein. @NeinQuarterly1h

    This year the rite of spring has been to remain silent.

  36. Nein. @NeinQuarterly1h

    The Herzog-hobbyist loves him for the vast. The connoisseur, for the empty.

  37. Nein. @NeinQuarterly1h

    The best discussions of art are silent.

  38. Science Friday @scifri2h

    Cormac McCarthy, Lawrence Krauss, and Werner Herzog discuss science as inspiration for art

  39. Nein. @NeinQuarterly1h

    You know, , my art often inspires silence. Starting to wonder if I'm doing it right.

  40. Matthew Eric Brown @meb_19761h

    ": Cormac McCarthy, Lawrence Krauss, and Werner Herzog discuss science as inspiration for art "

  41. Mlle. Dolorology @nymphetress2h

    Covet me maybe.

  42. Nein. @NeinQuarterly2h

    I coveted my neighbor's wife. And it was good.

  43. Nein. @NeinQuarterly2h

    Maybe today's the day you finally break down and covet your neighbor's ox.

  44. Rick again @Rickagain2h

    Can I sacrifice my neighbor? Please please please?!!

  45. Nein. @NeinQuarterly2h

    Ah, spring, when my Attention Deficit Disorder is in full bloom.

  48. Nein. @NeinQuarterly2h

    Maybe it's not spring fever. Maybe it's alienation.

  49. Nein. @NeinQuarterly3h

    Ask your doctor if bourgeois morality is right for you. I did.

  50. Nein. @NeinQuarterly3h

    Ah, spring, when self-hating bourgeois envy of the bohemian libertine turns green again.

  51. Nein. @NeinQuarterly3h

    You, me, spring, a workers' paradise.

  52. Nein. @NeinQuarterly3h

    Ah, spring, when the typos start returning.

  53. Nein. @NeinQuarterly3h

    If tweeting is your therapy, please don't tell me about your disorder.

  54. Annie Brookstone @AnnieBrookstone3h

    If it's any consolation, your tweeting wastes my employer's time.

  55. Nein. @NeinQuarterly3h

    The days get longer in the spring. Your therapy sessions don't.

  56. Nein. @NeinQuarterly3h

    I need an office job so that my tweeting wastes my employer's time, not my own.

  57. Nein. @NeinQuarterly3h

    Why, yes, German words do start getting longer in the spring, but that wouldn't explain it the rest of the year.

  58. Nein. @NeinQuarterly3h

    Workers of the world, you have nothing to lose but your gloves and scarf.
