He wants his tapes and pamphlets back.
Borges, from Selected Poems
Closing the heavy volume of Montaigne,
The tall New Englander goes out
Into an evening which exalts the fields.
It is a pleasure worth no less than reading.
He walks toward the final sloping of the sun,
Toward the landscape’s gilded edge;
He moves through darkening fields as he moves now
Through the memory of the one who writes this down.
He thinks: I have read the essential books
And written others which oblivion
Will not efface. I have been allowed
That which is given mortal man to know.
The whole continent knows my name.
I have not lived. I want to be someone else.
Allen Ginsberg : “Jack Kerouac the last time he visited my apartment 704 East 5th Street, N.Y.C. …”
he looked by then like his late father, red-faced corpulent W.C. Fields shuddering with mortal horror
“A komusō (虚無僧) was a Japanese mendicant monastic of the Fuke school of Zen Buddhism, during the Edo period. Komusō were characterized by the straw basket worn on the head, manifesting the absence of specific ego. They are also known for playing solo pieces on the shakuhachi (a Japanese bamboo flute).”

Questions Rejected from Quora: “Too Trivial”
OK, you tell me what’s more important than knowing whether people would be offended if I ate this? In fact, that might be the very first interrogative human thought.
Typical genius stuff from Rob Baedeker.
Hate that guy.

Don’t touch anything in Adam’s bathroom—he’s super fobile.
Jason Permenter did some digging into my past and discovered some, well, connections that maybe I should have clarified before talking about Supercuts publicly.
Jason threatened to release this photograph if I did not provide him with a Supercuts SuperCoupon, good for 15% off haircuts for life* at any participating franchise. If you know me, you know that I cannot stand for this kind of extortion.
So I’m going public with this photograph myself. Yes, I have been on their payroll for 11 years. Yes, Paul Finkelstein (CEO of parent company Regis Corp) and I regularly go marlin fishing. Yes, my other car is a Supercuts Mobile ShearStation.
I apologize to those I’ve disappointed with what they’ll surely term a viral “stunt.” I simply want you to know that, as a brand trying to cut through the clutter in today’s social media landscape, we did something we thought would generate some “buzz,” without perhaps thinking through the ethical implications.
I am sorry.
What.
