Philosophy for Peanuts

Damnit. I hate stupid personality quizzes. They're stupid and lame and stupid. You may have guessed I don't do particularly well in them. I just hate those crappy probing questions like 'do you prefer sunrises or sunsets'? And then whatever you say is supposed to reveal your deepest darkest innermost feelings, rather than the fact that you like to sleep in. So someone asked whether I called the Peanuts strip Charlie Brown or Snoopy. I said, obviously, Good Ol' Charlie Brown! Well, apparently that shows I identify and align myself with the wishy-washy wonder rather than his Joe Cool dog. Well, duh! But shockingly, after a survey of my friends, it turns out I'm in a minority! It's all about the dog for everyone else, or Linus, or Lucy, or basically any of the other characters other than the isolated, world-weary, lonesome little protagonist. Damnit!!! Why does no-one warn me about answering questions like these!! I would have thought more seriously and discussed the implications with at least 12 strangers. So I'm fed up and grumpy now. And I've got the beginnings of flu! (Well, it might be a cold.) So I'm not going to write anymore, hmph. To pass your time, here's a link on Sartre and Peanuts, and some smug-assed woman smugging on about the difference between Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Incidentally, Charlie B's answer to the sunrise/sunset quandary was 'I've always sort of preferred noon'. What a great guy.
