42

Did you ever stop and wonder, what the fuck is it all about? Ever look at the moon and then think about it for a second then place the moon in the bigger picture and realise how fucking tiny and miniscule everything is?

I did that once. And it made my head hurt. That’s why I try not to think about that kind of stuff anymore.

How big is the universe? How did we get here? Why are we here? What was here before there was anything here? Where does it all end? Are we actually just an imagination in a snow globe?

Those are the kinds of questions that, if you stop to consider them for too long, turn your brain to mush.

Then again some people have profound insights, almost visionary about this kind of thing. I’ve yet to meet one though. I figure that pretty much any problem can be solved by the consumption of beer and I posit that the world would be a far more tolerable and interesting place if everybody permanently went around with that 5 pint buzz on them. We’d get so much more done (although there’d be far more toilet breaks).

What’s the meaning of life?

It doesn’t matter.

    Man – you sound depressed. Are the skangers getting to you? Is it the road deaths? The corrupt government? Damien Rice? Is it that broken shore-cover on College Green?

    Life eh? I’m the same age as Ben Affleck, Eminem, and fucking Ginger Spice……they have the millions I have a savings account with £15 in it…..I’m as talentless as them, where’s my cash? life? ha!

    not going to be a tolerable or interesting place on fucking friday. reckon more people will be killed friday than any other night due to lack of nice calming beer. cunting catholic church and their stuoid fairytales. luckily i live in blanchardstown which is seemingly awash with beer so should be ok.

    I’ve yet to meet one though

    But you have. Maybe we’ll meet again?

    The problem with finding solutions to problems while under the influence of alcohol is that the following day the topic has long been forgotten and ultimately no one really gives a shit. And the answer only existed for about the same amount of time that it took to say to yourself “I need to go for a piss.”

    One is left at the awful feeling that one was once at the cusp of greatness and one can’t remember what the fuck it was about.

    End result is to try to replicate previous revelationary scenario time and time again and fail miserably with each attempt.

    Ah, the irony. I drink therefore I am. I drink therefore I can’t remember last night.

    There is no meaning of life. The best we can do is be like Homer and try to make the days not hurt until we get to crawl into bed beside the missus. And if we’re not too pissed, give her cause to repeatedly call the name of the deity.

    We are pretty fucking small in the grander scheme of things


    how big is the universe?


    our real size in the universe

    Ah, the old chestnut of Life debate, thingy….

    For the 2nd in about 6 months Ive managed to tear the top of me toenail off playing football…. Fuck sake….

    I mean, I keep them trim, and the boots I wear are quite good.. (in terms of stopping toenail accidents).

    Why me.. for fuck sake….?

  14. Molson 12 Pack says:

    Another mind melter (and I’m pissed & feeling all Philosophical here)is that since Pluto was discovered in 1930 its barely passed 3 months of its orbit around the sun which means its still in the month of March since it was discovered 78 Earth years ago. Also if I was born in 1979 on Pluto I would not be 1 year old until April 2228…………. Fuckin Mental!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arrrrgggghhhhn your fuckin right twenty…another beer please!!

  15. Molson 12 Pack says:

    And just one more to keep you up past midnight. The force of earths Gravity is 9.8 newtons per 1k/g. F=Ma.(where F is the force & a is the acceleration due to gravity) Here on Earth we can still reach a velocity with space shuttles that can take us out of the main gravitational pull of the Earth.
    However black holes have a gravitational force so strong that there is no escape velocity from their pull. How do we know this? Light is the fastest know substances in the universe. Light cannot escape from a black hole, thus there is no escape from a black hole once you cross the event horizon…….Man I’m pissed…….. Bacardi rules!!@!!!!!

    If my Mrs starts crying out Cesc, Cesc in the middle of me performance she’ll get what for, I can tell you.

  19. fatmammycat says:

    Ah the 5 pint buzz. I heart it so. Huzzah, for tomorrow is Gingerday and thus perfectly acceptable to go get that buzz.

  20. Twenty Major says:

    Thank fuck Ron’s is open tomorrow…

  21. Molson you’re very intelligible when pissed.

    My brain hasn’t turned on this morning….

    The only answer regarding the scum in Ireland is too conscript all the little bastards and put them on the firing line they will either learn to respect others or die either way Ireland gets cleaned up.

  24. Scaryduck says:

    This is a serious case of Thinking Too Much.

    My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

  25. Richard says:

    “Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving
    And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
    That’s orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it’s reckoned,
    A sun that is the source of all our power.
    The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
    Are moving at a million miles a day
    In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
    Of the galaxy we call the ‘Milky Way’.

    So remember, when you’re feeling very small and insecure,
    How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
    And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space,
    ‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth.”

  26. Twenty Major says:

    I’m trying, Scary. I really am.

  27. Rosie says:

    buck up, diddums. eat some chocolate.

  28. Twenty Major says:

    Chocolate? Like a Milky way…??

    You did that on purpose.

  29. itchybollix says:

    Stephen Hawking has been working on the “theory of everything” for 20 years. He has been struggling with the fact that matter is so light compared to the 3 other forces.

    2 years ago 2 mathematicians came up with super-string system to explain the theory of everything in dimensions.

    imagine how Hawking feels?

  30. Twenty Major says:

    Stephen Hawking has been working on the “theory of everything” for 20 years.

    And look at the fucking state of him…

  31. Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!

  32. Rosie says:

    [dirty snigger at the Hawking remark]

    i suppose it would have to be a Milky Way. Peanut Moro doesn’t have the same ring to it as Star Bar.

  33. maggot says:

    Hawking – I hate the cunt.
    He thinks he so fucking clever, but he wouldn’t stand a chance against Davros.

  34. Puerile Pish says:

    He is fucking Davros you cunt

  35. Mad Mick says:

    In fairness Twenty he was supposed to die years ago and my hat goes off to the man as he still managed to have an affair whilst wheel chair bound.

    And Molzen – here’s an update – Hawking theorized that some stuff actually does escape Black holes, freakier n freakier.
    http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/06/1419249

  36. maggot says:

    No he’s not – Davros can speak properly.

  37. maggot says:

    he still managed to have an affair whilst wheel chair bound.

    and michael jackson fathered those children – yeah right.

  38. PattheRat says:

    Hawking the cunt came out with that book and basically got the applaud/sympathy of everyone.
    Would his book have been as well received if he wasnt a Spaz?
    I heard he is some bore to bring to a dinner party too.

  39. PattheRat says:

    Twenty maybe your clean cut image and boyish good looks are hampering sales of your masterpiece

  40. maggot says:

    The only answer regarding the scum in Ireland is too conscript all the little bastards and put them on the firing line they will either learn to respect others or die either way Ireland gets cleaned up.

    Stick with the tried and tested method – ship them off abroad to God forsaken holes like the Lebanon.

  41. Feynman says:

    Whats Bobby Davros got to do with anything here?

  44. maggot says:

    You made me think of Esther Rantzen.
    A diry trick.

  45. Peadar says:

    Rons is open tomorrow? You jammy bastard. Does anyone else no where Rons is.

    I wouldn’t mind but I hardly ever go out of a friday night, I normally have a few bottles of wine in. But I really want to go out tomorrow night. I’m like a spoilt child, when I’m told I can’t do something…..

    As for the meaning of life, I think Fr. Jack got it spot on – drink, fuck & girls. And maybe throw in a bit of football

  46. itchybollix says:

    42 is the bus to malahide

  47. PattheRat says:

    arent you quite the big thinker Itchy

  48. SuperGrover says:

    itchy it’s gravity being the weaker force that hawking struggled with. matter is not a force. ya thick.

  49. Peadar says:

    So is the bus to malahide the centre of the universe?

  50. Johnny5 says:

    Shut up, twenty, you cunt.

  51. Peadar says:

    Ah Johnny5 and his words of wisdom. Almost poetic

  52. maggot says:

    I reckon he’s Twenty’s evil twin Peadar

  53. Monkey Balls says:

    42 is the philosophical view that the entire universe is a manifestation of a cosmic spirit that operates through the subliminal messages embedded in Damien Rice’s “songs” and ahem, “videos”.

    The Oslo Bar in Connolly Station is open tomorrow, but I think it closes at 7pm. (It does every other day.)
    It’s OK, I won’t be there. -You’re safe.

  54. Peadar says:

    You could be right. Or maybe it’s actually 20 – jekyl and hyde and all that

  55. Peadar says:

    Now I’m really confused. Do they play Damien Rice songs on the bus to malahide?

  56. Monkey Balls says:

    Yes, they do, but at such a high pitch that only dogs can hear them.

  57. itchybollix says:

    sorry supergrover; you’re correct, sorry- me head is a little fuzzy this a.m.

  58. Peadar says:

    A lot of restaurants will be open tomorrow, especially Chinese. Get a gang together, order a portion of prawn crackers, 10 bottles of cabernet sauvignon and bobs yours uncle.

  59. cruddy b says:

    Ahh this is the worst post you’ve ever written! The kind of crap talk you get from 16 year old emo kids trying to be profound.

  60. Monkey Balls says:

    You know the way Bertie Ahearn never mentioned during pillow talk with Celia Larkin the fact that she was going to get £30,000 from the Fianna Fail Cumann free gratis?

    Do you think he never told his daughters about the sterling lodged into their accounts?

  63. there’s a town in Ireland called Emo.

    I wonder if it’s a Mecca for little goth cunts.

  65. Puerile Pish says:

    I went to Wexford once, and trust me it was full of goth cunts, and those fuckers who insist on playing on skateboards despite the fact they are far too old to be doing so.

  66. Medbh says:

    5 pints makes me super bloated. Can I change that to two pints and three vodkas?

  67. Peadar says:

    Hey, don’t start slagging wexford, ya scottish cunt.
    Wexford’s cool

  68. Puerile Pish says:

    It may be cool, but it is still full of goth cunts etc etc

  69. Twenty Major says:

    5 pints makes me super bloated. Can I change that to two pints and three vodkas?

    Three pints of vodka. Rock on…

    Huge. God created us. Dunno. At Jesus’ feet (washed). No. Any other questions?

  75. Yacuncha says:

    They’re always going on about the “meaning of life” on the programme SKINS.

    And then they do nothing but shag, drink, drugs, and shag more.

    So we know the meaning.

  76. eric y says:

    we have found the ultimate meaning of life to be that after those five pints we are able to get at least 50@ of the urine into the toilet. jay whitlow prefers to do it au natural but then again he is just a slight deviation above a horses-ass.

  77. Chris P Pancake says:

    I understand it’s site policy to completely ignore that eric y knobhead, but is it OK if I just call him a cunt?

    eric y, YOU’RE A FUCKING CUNT!!

    Cheers.
