Are YOU Going to Scarborough Fair?

 

 

Pascal went to the county fair with the Buddha & Descartes and they came upon a Lucky Dog vendor, whereupon Pascal asked the others if they'd like a hotdog. Descartes replied:"I don't think so," and immediately disappeared. The Buddha said: "Make me one with everything," and also disappeared. This is not what Pascal would've wagered.


Disappointed at the loss of his companions, as the seasons passed and Louisiana's Fall Festivals returned with the autumnal equinox, Pascal sent out invitations to everyone he knew, inquiring after their interest in going to Scarborough Fair. As fast as pigeons can fly, responses came in from across the globe, verily, verily faster than even Facebook or Twitter operate on occasion.


Pavlov said he was drooling at the thought.

Einstein thought it would be relatively easy to attend.

Volta was positively electrified.

Ampere was worried he wasn't up on current research.

Ohm resisted the idea at first.


Pierre and Marie Curie were radiating enthusiasm.

Boyle said he was under too much pressure.

Edison thought it would be an illuminating experience.

Watt reckoned it would be a good way to let off steam.

Stephenson thought the whole idea was loco.


Heisenberg was uncertain if he could make it.

Hertz said he planned the future to attend with greater frequency.

Hawking said he'd try to string enough time together to make a space in his schedule.

Schrodinger had to take his cat to the vet, or did he?

Frank Davis from WWL replied: That's Naturally N'Awlins!


Glenn Beck: You talking 'bout Joe Scarborough?

Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, O'Reilly & other Faux News Allstars started a chain-passenger-pigeon message calling for a boycott of this obvious left-wing conspiracy. After millions of round-trips from Dixieland to the Governor's mansion in Alaska, the Passenger Pigeon became extinct, even as the neanderthinks still thrive.


Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, Nancy Pelosi, the New York Times & Washington Post RSVP'd regrets, lamenting and editorializing the growing disparity between those who had access to Lucky Dogs and those who subsisted, instead, on parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (and possibly cannabis).


Bill Maher, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris all had a schedule conflict because they would be going back to school to take Philosophy for Dummies, where they would learn the difference between science and scientism, reason and rationalism, logic and positivism, a descriptive empirical inquiry and an interpretive social imaginary, cosmological speculations and axiological aspirations, and the descriptive/normative and the interpretive/evaluative stances toward reality.

Simon asked: Are you goin to scarborough fair? Remember me to one who lives there.

Garfunkel replied: Tell her to find me an acre of land, Between the salt water and the sea strand.

Kevin Beck: Coffee?!? You can sleep all you want when you're dead!!!
