Last week I stumbled on a local ripoff of GE College Bowl, but this was for high school kids in Raleigh. The question asked the kids to ID an existentialist writer (can’t remember the exact question). One of the contestants quickly hit her buzzer and said, “Albert Camus,” pronouncing it correctly as cam-OOO. The stupid emcee looked off camera to the judges, then looked at the girl and said, “I’m sorry, that’s Albert CAY-mus”. I shit you not. And they never gave her team credity.
“Happyness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth.”
Gotta remember that one.
Remembering it is not important. What is important is your decision to try. Simply perservere, Beck.
Chang chang
Chang-ity chang shoo-bop
That’s the way it should be.
Man, that Camus, he could write some, huh?
Do you have a least favorite movie musical/lubricant/cooking byproduct?
South Pacific
A Camus story.
