That's an unusual question. Hmm... You know how Manakin Skywalker was created by the force directly in order to do some vague propecy and make six films? I figure it's a bit like that, only instead of the force, it was alcohol's fault, and instead of six films, it's several thousand incoherent and vaguely angry rants. There's also no prophecy, only a vague and pervasive sense of disappointment with the world. I suppose what I'm getting at is that I don't really put much stock in this whole "meaning of life" thing. I think it's a canard, or maybe a cleverly designed philosophical bear-trap. Distracts from the existing, and we've no shortage of distractions as it is. It's said that any man who questions the truth of a self-evident thing is a knave, so what's the point in wondering why we're here, when it's pretty obvious that we are. So we'd best get on with it.
