I don't think my knowing whether or not Kierkegaard had a big dick is going to impress him. Make him think I'm a pervert, maybe...

Kierkegaard is the antithesis of The Breakfast Club.

In "The Concept of Anxiety", Kierkegaard lays the foundation for Notre Dame's 2009 National Championship. A premise repugnant to the NDOM realms of thought.

In "Philosophical Fragments", Kierkegaard delves deep into the paradoxes of the Tenutan Gambit. Neither logic nor reason can reconcile the 3-4 in a 4-3 base.

Neither logic nor reason can reconcile the fact that I am engaged to a legit 9 on a scale of 10 when she is way the hell out of my league. Oh. And she's learning sports. Getting closer to 10.

I like female perverts.

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard had a big Danish dick. I learned that in philosophy class.

Kierkegaard was born in Copenhagen. I am a big Copenhagen man, myself. Never really liked Skoal. Since getting married, my Copenhagen usage has decreased quite a bit, so I just eat more bacon.

Kierkegaard argued "subjectivity is truth" and "truth is subjectivity". However, I believe that bacon is truth.

some of his ideas included the use of your impending death as a motivation to live your life passionately, as well the concept of meaning being subjective to each individual.

I've done some research on wikipedia and some other websites, and it has given me a good general idea of what his philosophy was.

Now I just need some ideas on how to con him into taking me out so we can discuss it at length. I've already tossed out chloroform as I want him to actually be conscious for the discussion...

Do you really think a quick read of some websites is going to prepare you to "impress" someone with even rudimentary knowledge of the topic?

You don't want to get into discussion unless you're prepared. Rather than "discuss" ask him as someone well versed in Kierkegaard to explain ... and hit him with post #5, #6, or #7 in an intimidating voice, like everyone should know those.

While he stands there speechless, smile graciously, and walk away muttering softly, "You may have read Kierkegaard but you obviously don't understand him."

Actually I've thrown out the plan where I impress him. I figure I'll let him impress ME with his knowledge about Kierkegaard, but I don't want to go into it without knowing at least the basics about the topics of Kierkegaard's theories/philosophies. Plus, this way I'll have some questions prepared that he can answer :)

Let him talk. Women have been getting men to hang themselves through the millenia with "That's interesting. Tell me more." Let him roll then ask a question like the ones below. Ask him a straight philosophy question and he should be able to reguritate a pat answer. Ask him about one of Kierkegaard's works and some movie and you broken his preparedness. Watch his wheels spin. And if he can fathom the question, nod your head in agreement to his answer and say, "Exactly". Then hit him with another one.

Have fun.

Or you could just go with the "Is there a mirror in your pocket?" line. Works every time.

He taught a seminar while in college on Kierkegaard's works. I'm pretty sure if I asked him a generic question about Kierkegaard that he wouldn't go reeling into oblivion.

Also, I'm thinking the mirror line will have to work into our conversation somewhere ;)

That would work way better especially if you ask good questions. Then he will think ur a really smart cute girl. Thats all you need. Your money after that.

So what was the outcome?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Well, I haven't really had a chance to talk to him - the problem is that he and I have the same position at work - so days that he works, I have off, and vice versa. So we don't really overlap. And the only time we've hung together outside of work was at this big going away party for Andi (the girl who used to share the same position at me, who he is taking over for) at the bowling alley. But there were so many people there we didn't get a chance to have a one-on-one discussion.

However, I'm going to HAVE to marry him now because last night he had on a T-shirt that had a picture of the actual painters: Michaelangelo, Donatello, Raphael and Leonardo, wearing their respective TMNT eye band colors. No one else got it but me. I think we were made for each other.

Did you at least comment on the shirt? Thats a convo starter right there
