Remember remember...

Remember remember the fifth of November

Gunpowder, treason and plot.

I see no reason why gunpowder, treason

Should ever be forgot...

Remember remember the sixth of November

Late trains and theatre not.

I see no reason why Thai flavored seasons

Should ever be forgot...

My impossibly brilliant invention

This, my friends, is truly smkrworthy, if I do say so myself. The idea came, roundabout, from a conversation between two of my friends (posted on Peace Outside yesIamtoolazytogiveitaproperlink). Basically, Liz was comparing Thomas Aquinus to the smell of apple cider (nice and soothing), and I started calling it "Applequinus". Suddenly I had an idea for a line of drinks (or perhaps ice cream flavors?) based on the names of famous philosophers. Ergo:

Applequinus

Cocamus

Espresserasmus

Vamilla

Butterscotchrates

Pico della Melondola

Macchiatavelli


And my two favorites:

Pearistotle

Hazelnietzsche

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

God, I REALLY love those last two. A LOT.

Also, Butterscotchrates and Cocamus were Liz's brilliant contributions.

And I am not sure about a few, some may need tweaking (Vamilla, for example. Would it be better as Caramill? I think maybe so.) I still need to find flavors for some of the more difficult ones - Plato, Epicurus, Boethius, Weil, Rousseau, Locke, and so on. Please give me suggestions, neh?
