Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 12, 2019

I’m pretty sure there’s no shared experience with tens of thousands of people at the cidery.

Socrates never answered questions. In fact he taught by only asking them, claiming that students already know the answer, they just don’t know they know it. DuckDuckGo “Socratic method”

Brilliance in each bubble, thank you!

It’s because fresh games, like fresh cider, are more tantalizing.

Why do people wait all day in by a curb in Toulouse just to watch some guys in spandex flash by on bicycles for half a second? …

“Why must you answer my questions with a question?”

“Do I really do that?”

Both experiences separate the “die-hard” from the nominal fans.

In Portland (OR) we have Voodoo Donuts. It’s a destination place; “Oh we really want to go to Voodoo while we’re visiting!” kind of thing. You can periodically spot the pink boxes in TV shows and movies. You can easily spend $40/dozen there.

In a blind taste test of donuts from 12 shops in Portland, Voodoo came in dead last, below some grocery store donuts. Go figure.

If you’ve ever been to a cider mill, you would KNOW the answer to the first question. If nothing else, the aroma of the crushed apples is heavenly. Then there’s the “apple cider mini-donuts” that are covered in cinnamon-sugar and sold by the baker’s dozen.

some people like the real experience, some don’t.

When did two questions equal an answer?

I bet Frazz has read and/or seen “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” and enjoyed the game of questions.

Why is a duck? Would you rather walk to school or carry your lunch?
