The End.
The boy who has written the chapman radio blog for the past year, James Ramsay, has since graduated from college, and thus should pass its maintenance on to another scribe. For the same reason, he has started up a new page independent of chapman radio (but with a deep nostalgic fondness for it). It’s entitled Ecclesiastes, in honor of one of the better books of wisdom from the past few...

Desperate Reminiscence
During an open house for the philosophy department last semester, a young man raised his hand and asked, “Are classes lecture based, or more of a Symposium style?” I replied, “[chuckle] it’s more of a Symposium, I guess”. The “I guess” was there to qualify our Symposium as one in the colloquial sense, or as anyone with a healthy sense of self might say,...

Why Do They Have to Fight?
         As a friend and I left the multiplex on a recent night, she turned to me and offered this review: “You know, I liked the movie, but I just get so uneasy when all the bad things happen!” I intuitively agreed with her distaste for story conflict, which is perhaps why the movie studios haven’t entrusted me with making their executive decisions for the last few years....

The Way to Go
“I went to visit a friend of mine in a hospice. It was disgusting. Old people drooling on themselves. Don’t you ever put me in a place like that,” said my Grandmother, sitting next to me on the couch. She smelled like vodka and sweat. “Yeah, me neither. I’m wandering off into the desert when my time comes,” I replied. My Grandmother took another sip....

Curiosity Killed the Checkbook
Minkus the cat was “unusually lethargic” the week before I returned home, such that my Mother rushed him to the cat hospital. “Well, he’s usually lethargic,” I said. “Yes,” my Mother replied, “but he wasn’t peeing”. That, of course, has the potential to become a problem, since not peeing often leads to peeing on the living room furniture....

From the Annals of a City on a Hill
“The fetus was much corrupted, yet most of those things were to be seen, as the horns and claws, the scales, etc.”                -John Winthrop, on the corpse of Mary Dyer’s stillborn baby, 1637 John Winthrop’s Actual Reaction to the Dug-Up Baby Corpse John Winthrop: Yep, that baby definately does not have horns.

bedroompantry: My big pet peeve, however, is LANGUAGE in your blog! 99.9% of the time, it is witty, interesting, cute, reflective, informative and fun! But occasionally you copy something that includes a few or more expletives. I’ve made only one tiny comment about that - once - long ago. When you reblog…

On Causality
“An ancient philosophical opinion, inherited from Aristotle, is that we do not understand a thing until we know it by its causes. When the maid-servant says that ‘the cat’ broke the tea-cup, she would have us conceive the fracture in a causally explanatory way”                                               -William James, Some Problems of Philosophy Maid-servant: Master...

Whose Win is It, Anyway?
             A smirk pokes through when I think back to a game I fancied in high school. It usually took place in General Health, though any teacher could start a round if their class needed a cold slap in the face. It began with them sharing some factoid in the vein of:             “You know, the statistics don’t lie. 2 out of 3 of you will not make it to college”, or,             “All the...

Gentrify This
You know this street- every city has one. It’s got wide brick sidewalks and three-story brownstones and so many vintage bicycles tied to the lamp-posts that you’re just waiting for an army of people to come out of the storefronts sniffing their own farts out of wine glasses[1] and then asking you to hold them while they hand-roll a cigarette.             Of course, you go half a mile in any...

How I Got These Sweets
I went in for an MRI and the lady behind the desk asked if I had any metal in my body. I told her I have a titanium plate in my forhead but she didn’t believe me, so I headbutted her. She passed out on her keyboard, so I sorted out the candy from her bowl, put the miniature A&W Root Beer candies in my jacket, and just left. “James,” you may say, “that’s just...

The Love of Your Life
What you imagine she’s thinking as she glances in your direction from across the quad: “Oh, there he is! So artfully disheveled, he definately doesn’t pay attention to looking that way, it just happens. I would go talk to him, but he’s so enveloped in that book. Gosh, a reader. Everyone else is addicted to their technologies, but not ____. He’s a real Renaissance...
