I feel stupid asking this, but I have a dumb question....

[johnnie]

What is the purpose of life? I mean...why are we here?
:shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

1. To do the hokey pokey, Cause that's what it's all about!

[LeftCoast]

3. "What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about?"

Saw that on a bumper sticker once...I still think it's funny.

[JimmyJazz]

6. I'm not talking to you - you didn't post in my

"dare or dare" thread - what is ya, a weenie or sumpin'? :7

[LeftCoast]

10. I'm a big chicken

*Bwok!*

[TXlib]

2. We are the consciousness of the Universe

It is our duty to learn as much about it as we can.

[Renew Deal]

4. Sex threads

[skygazer]

5. Apparently for me, it's to sit here all day posting on DU

I got up early this morning thinking I would get a lot of stuff done and I am still sitting here, posting nonsense. :wtf:

[johnnie]

8. That's funny

I came to work early this morning and they are expecting me to get a lot of stuff done also. And here I am asking stupid questions.

[ET Awful]

7. The ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything is . . . . .

[ET Awful]

16. If I ever meet myself,

I'll hit myself so hard I won't know what hit me - Zaphod Beeblebrox :)

[Richardo]

9. You are a fluke of the universe...

You have no right to be here.....

Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.

Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.

Rotate your tires.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be turkeys.

Know what to kiss.....and when!

Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that THREE.........do.

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer main-te-nance.

Chorus:
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Remember the Pueblo.

Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mu-ti-late.

Know yourself.
If you need help, call the FBI.

Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you.
That lemon on your left, for instance.

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.

Fall not in love therefore;
It will stick to your face.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth:
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time
Get in your lunch.

Hire people with hooks.

For a good time call 606-4311;
Ask for "Ken."

Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

Chorus:
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive him to be---
Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.

With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate.
GIVE UP!

Reprise:
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back. :7

I was in high school then, and all the girls had those sickening "Desiderata" posters on their bedroom walls. "Deteriorata" was the perfect antidote. :-)
