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?

Added: Marxmallow. Another fabulous one from Liz.
Also perhaps Locke-té? Lockté? What's the least retarded spelling? I am also fiddling with Rousseauberry...
HOLY CRAP that is absolutely genious!!
I want to go to a coffee shop that sells ice-creams named like that.
That would be a cool coffee shop.
You win the award of the month.
Yes, I can totally see philosophy in a coffee-shop setting.
Oh, and YAY SOMEBODY CARES THAT I POSTED! Plus I am glad that you think it's as awesome as I do. I was beginning to worry since nobody seemed to care.
Yay! Award! What is it?
In the words of Widgster, this is facking awesome!
Oh, and I was thinking of something along the lines of Epicurilyptus -- or something. (Curilyptus really sounds much better, but doesn't get across the name too well)
Or how about Passionfreud? Kantconut?
Also, you could toy with Weildberry as well.
Then there's Descarte and Lecan, who I can't think of anything for.
Haha! Someone ought to inform Ande that we're working on the beginnings of that Italian cafe shop!
((also, I have to attribute Widge; I can't steall all the credit :P))
Ande is not uninformed. Ande is simply dealing with the craziness of life with upcoming finals and trip. Besides, I don't really know many philosopher's outside of the household names. But trust me, I will steal the names when I open my gelato shop.
I actually posted earlier this week but for some reason it is only visible when you go to post another comment and not in the normal place. Here is the original, much maligned comment.

Who is Cocamus?
Cocoa + Camus. (Camus wrote The Plague) one of our first, so it's not as good as some of the others. I think Liz suggested Kantconut too!
And just keep in mind that Weil is pronounced "vay"
I think anything eucalyptus flavored would be gross, although the name is good...
Passionfreud = AWESOME.
