Coining a proverb
August 23rd, 2004 | by Jason |I think I may have come up with a proverb. I can’t find it anywhere on the web. So I just want to put it on the web to claim it as mine.
You can make flapjacks (pancakes) out of cow pies, but they’ll still smell like bullshit.
In other words, you can try to “turn bugs into features,” dress up mistakes as “learning experiences,” or label nuclear weapons sites (Rocky Flats) as “environmental research facilitities,” but unless it’s truly authentic… it’ll start to stink.

Jay,
What happened to this page? All kinds of cow flapjacks got to your comments!!
Listen, I need your advice on some teachers that I might study with. I am thinking carefully about going to a Buddhist center in mass….and I wanted to know your opinion on some aspects of what it is like to be in isolation and meditative silence.
email me when you get this – there is no rush
