I occasionally ask very difficult and very unpleasant questions.

The fact that they are difficult and unpleasant does not make them any less necessary to ask. It just makes you unpopular for asking them.

I'm enough of a nihilist to ask anyway.

A nihilist? Do you have a pet ferret?

did sluggy freelance get a lot more philosophical after it stopped being funny, or is this a reference to something i'm completely not catching?

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

I don't read Sluggy Freelance. It's a reference to the nihilists in The Big Lebowski.

that's what i get for not paying close enough attention when i watch it.

i trust you've read "two gentlemen of lebowski," the shakespeare-flavored retelling?

No, I haven't! I need to check that out.

And yes, nihilism plays a huge part in The Big Lebowski. I heart that movie so much....

it may be hard to track down now that it got popular; i think the author may be trying to restrict access in order to cash in (and while i can't blame him for that, the "information wants to be free" part of me is frustrated by it; i have a complicated interrelationship with intellectual property)
