Comments on How I’m Spending Your Summer Vacation by Scott Miller

Good questions.

That semen info does support what tantrics have always said about the stuff. If a man "holds his seed," then, does it help with his depression? Or does it not work like that?

@ CK MacLeod:
One of my favorite covers ever.

I think this proves Hegel's point about ideas driving history. You'll notice how many times since I created my avatar that the idea of me as an excreting being has driven topics of discussion.

@ CK MacLeod:
Since the Universe went to so much trouble to give me no other options, it would be sad if I still somehow managed not to gain any wisdom. I liked your spoiler point.

@ miguel cervantes:
The old book is a collage of yoga insights and stories--some of them yogic science fiction. Because CK is superstitious he probably would prefer I not get into what the new book is. But here goes:
It's meant to help people know what yoga is today. It's not a "how to do yoga" book; it's a "now we can know what yoga is" book.

@ fuster:
Yes, a very good gag. Someone should make a movie based on Plimpton's life. They made one about the Paper Lion, but one about his whole life would be cool.

@ fuster:
If it weren't for the internet...well...if it weren't for the internet this blog wouldn't exist in the first place...but anyway...you could have strung me along with the Sidd Finch thing because I never heard of him. Thanks to internet access, I schooled myself about the Plimpton gag. George Plimpton was really amazing guy. Funny that he shortened Siddhartha to Sidd.

You can download it for free from the website. When CK an I get going with mailing the new book, it'll probably be easy for us to mail the old one too, so at some point, if you're interested we can send you a hard copy. Free for blog brothers.

@ CK MacLeod:
No, it's there. Maybe it didn't make it through the links. Too bad. I thought Miggs would appreciate the Om ship.

One of the things I really appreciate about the Red Hot Chili Peppers is that they always subverted shit like photos. In almost every photo they make a stupid face. Doing it sometimes like the Beatles did was cute or childish, doing it all the time for 30 years is a statement and they even spoke about it as a rebellion against having to take serious photos.

I sympathize in respect to the photo thing. CK's seen it already, but here's the link to my old yoga book so you can see what I did with my own image and then click on the excerpt for what I wrote about the photo taken of me for yoga advertisement.

Ugh. Seriously painful, but funny at this point.
