Booger Queen

who?
Either Grand Booger Queen II or one Booger Queen from my former school. She is named Booger Queen Pajula.

We might as well throw Mary Hannah and Tolbs on this list if we going to do this Booger Queen/John Madden business.
DON'T change Booger Queen to John Madden. Booger Queen is so beautiful when written. And John Madden should be changed to Maisy.

Booger Queen should become Pat Summerall, I think this is needed.

I am in the starting stages of having a girlfriend, but I'm not plastering her name everywhere. I do say it sometimes because it happens to be a word in the dictionary, but nothing like what Poiponen13 is doing.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

I did reference my wife in the other thread.  I did so mainly due to the fact that I bring her up in the context of road trips we both go on (such as Maui last year).

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

How about MMM? Is he really here?

Are any of us really here?  How do I know all of you just aren't just figments of my imagination?  Maybe I'm a Boltzmann Brain floating through the ether of a Universe long past heat death?

Sounds like a religious order I learned about in High School teaching the prelude to College Humanities. They think we are not hear but imagined in all of our minds.

It's kind of like that.  The premise is more about how it is far more likely for consciousness to spontaneously develop from nothing than it is for the universe to exist as we perceive it.

roadman65

I wonder too if this universe exists elsewhere and we imagine this one sort of like Picard living as Kamen in the TNG episode called The Inner Light.

Boltzman Brain theory is a religion now?

Doesn't that only explain how we're here, not why we're here?

Not really, if true it would just prove that the reality around us is false.  It certainly wouldn't provide much insight if any on "how"  any of us are here.

Why does this thread exist

Why do any of us exist?

Woah there, this is a forum, not a Bible study.  :D
We need an aaroads subforum to discuss religion and philosophy

If reality as we know it is a complete fabrication because we are brains floating in the void, wouldn't we need to start over determining "how"  with everything?

Edit:  BTW I've been apparently spelling "Boltzmann" incorrectly this entire time.  Or was I spelling it correctly as I perceived it from my own false memories from a universe that no longer exists?
