Koontz needs to read "Naming and Necessity"

Koontz.

You need to read this book by Saul A. Kripke.

It will explain to you in great detail why Cathcart can’t be the “new SpoofyChop” and why nobody can be the “new wumpus.”

Please stop posting until you have read this.

Also: there will be a quiz on “Rigid Designators” once you’re done.

You’re just gonna have to accept that you’re old and busted and I’m the new hotness.

I’m sorry but that line belongs in this thread. That said, can you juggle both your ducknicity and new spoofy chopness simultaneously?

Word.

So do you let Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones drive you?

Anyone can just quote a movie, I’m applying them to real-world situations. It’s completely different. Those guys are total amateurs.

That said, can you juggle both your ducknicity and new spoofy chopness simultaneously?

I just gotta post 'em one day at a time. I’m just happy to be here. Hope I can help the forum. I just want to give it my best shot, and the good Lord willing, things will work out.

You are such a ham.

Incidentally, if this book isn’t one you managed to read in the airport last summer, basically Kripke presents a very compelling argument that names are really “rigid designators.”

Essentially they designate that points finger at something

Essentially this means that Cathcart can’t become “the new SpoofyChop” whatever the heck that’s supposed to mean.

Also, if you were busy reading things, you wouldn’t have time to post about that stupid bicycle story.
