For Foodie and others of a philosophical bent: what the REALLY smart guys are saying

[Auburnwine]

You know it's funny. Just last evening the missus was asking me: "Do universals really exist and what is their nature? Are they reducible to set theoretical constructs over a domain of particulars, albeit perhaps merely possible particulars?"

Naturally, I says to her (always the safest answer): "Yes, dear." Yep, we got many a wry titter out of that one.

And to the woefully uninformed, "gnoseolocially" is a wine-tasting term that means sniffing wine with friends. It's just that that fellow can't spell -- he means "nosey, oh socially".
