Instead of having matches in the traditional sense, for example, anarchists could just kick the ball around. Or they could organise "open-ended pick-up games", in which no-one keeps score, people join in and leave when they feel like it, and play continues until too many players have wandered off the pitch, or everyone is tired. A third option is for players to swap sides occasionally, discouraging team loyalties. Or three or more teams take turns to play, with the "losers" being replaced each time someone scores.Dat haalden we uit More Intelligent Life. Het prentje komt van Shorpy Higginbotham. Ook bij het anarchistisch voetballen geldt: eerst goed rekken en strekken voor je er aan begint.

Edmund Crispin (whose real name was Bruce Montgomery) once wrote of himself: "He is of sedentary habit - his chief recreations being music, reading, church-going, and bridge. Like Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe he leaves his house as seldom as possible, in particular minimizing his visits to London, a rapidly decaying metropolis which since the war he has come to detest." Until his death in 1978 Mr. Crispin lived in Devon, in a quiet corner whose exploitation and development he did his utmost to oppose.Uit de auteursbeschrijving in: Edmund Crispin, The Moving Toyshop, Penguin Crime Fiction, 1982 (1946). Geweldig boek, overigens.
"Here lies the body of Jonathan Swift, Dean of this Cathedral, Where bitter indignation Can no more lacerate his heart. Go, traveler, and so far as thou art able, Imitate this strenuous advocate of liberty."Erg nobel en ongetwijfeld ook allemaal waar wat daar staat, want Swift schreef veiligheidshalve zelf wat er op zijn grafsteen kwam. Dat soort dingen laat je effectief beter niet aan het toeval of de nabestaanden over. Misschien af en toe al eens oefenen. En betrouwbare kladversies laten rondslingeren daar waar je zeker bent dat die nabestaanden ze vinden.

"When in doubt, have a man come through the door with a gun in his hand."Excellente raad. Niet alleen met betrekking tot detectiveromans. Nogal wat literatuur zou een stuk pittiger worden wanneer er af en toe een gewapende man kwam binnengewandeld.

Ayer taught or lectured several times in the United States, including serving as a visiting professor at Bard College in the fall of 1987. At a party that same year held by fashion designer Fernando Sanchez, Ayer, then 77, confronted Mike Tyson harassing the (then little-known) model Naomi Campbell. When Ayer demanded that Tyson stop, the boxer said: "Do you know who the fuck I am? I'm the heavyweight champion of the world," to which Ayer replied: "And I am the former Wykeham Professor of Logic. We are both pre-eminent in our field. I suggest that we talk about this like rational men." Ayer and Tyson then began to talk, while Naomi Campbell slipped out. (Bron: wikipedia).
