Boots Philosophy cosmetics

Excuse me if I am the last person to notice, but Boots' cosmetics brand is called 'Philosophy'. It's Aristotle in a bottle.

Sorry to burst your bubble Andrew but I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it, now I'm going to have to look it up..damn you!

How to buy Philosophy

[TeeCee]

I think you've just invented treble rhyming slang and made that an unfortunate name into the bargain:

Philosophy. Aristotle in a bottle. Bottle and glass.........

Well done!

[frank ly]

Is this related to Diogenes in a barrel?

Just wondering; because I can see a pattern emerging.

Occam's Razor

Nice name for a shaving brand. Simple.

[Michael H.F. Wilkinson]

Nice quote to start the day. Thanks!

[Anonymous Coward]

Socrates is a brand of soap (true)

Nice wrapper.

[Andrew Orlowski]

I wonder what Nietzsche smells like?

Pretty awful I imagine.

I want that soap.

[Sir Runcible Spoon]

I would have thought Freudian would be a better name for a soap.

"He gave me a Freudian slip of soap in the shower

[Audrey S. Thackeray]

As Socrates almost said

Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply Philosophy in the right way to themselves are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death.

[Andrew Orlowski]

A weekend in Doncaster does that too.

[Jesper Frimann]

Yes but philosophy, is really about beer.

The Philosopher's Song (Monty Python)

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant

Who was very rarely stable. Heidegger,

Heidegger was a boozy beggar

Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel,

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine

Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'

'Bout the raising of the wrist. SOCRATES, HIMSELF, WAS PERMANENTLY PISSED...

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,

On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away;

Half a crate of whiskey every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,

Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:

"I drink, therefore I am"

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;

A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!

Re: Yes but philosophy, is really about beer

Or other alcohol. Plato's Symposion is a get together to drink (literally the meaning of Greek symposion). This is why I always point out to my PhD students that having a drinks together with other scientists is what an international symposium is about (despite the Latinised ending).

We need

Some SOPA on a rope.

[TeeCee]

I just don't get it.

Does anyone know what Philosophy smells like?

"Hmm, you smell like the struggle to achieve an understanding of the human condition."? How does that work?

[Trevor_Pott]

"The smell of struggling to understand the human condition."

Someone bottled the smell of sex and is selling it? The premium edition will be "now with added condom smell?"

Thanks for holding my balls...

It was a privileges thing: inline links are only for Obercommentards (and I'm now scummy enough to float to the top of the bottom of the internet).

Re: Curious.

My post, above, just showed up as "new" ...

.. one year after the last post in thread. Which was my post, above.

I see issues with your backend database. Still ;-)
