Weekend diversion: Happy Thinksgiving.

The younger Free-Ride offspring's soccer team has been playing in a regional tournament this weekend, and we're girding our loins and guarding our shins to go out and play a second day of tournament games. I'm happy that they're playing so well, but I have to say, watching games in late November is a different experience than spectating in mid-September. (Bone-chilling cold + bad sunburn = some kind of tangible sign of a parent's devotion. If only one's child took it seriously.)

Anyway, in the meantime, I wanted to test your knowledge in the identification of some turkeys.

Specifically, the turkeys currently adorning the door to my department's main office.

Here they are one by one:

Leave your guesses in the comments (which I'll approve when I'm back from the soccer pitch). The first one to correctly identify all six will win some sort of a prize (although undoubtedly a silly one).

Marx, Nietzsche, Kant, two dudes I don't know, and Schopenhauer.

I'm tempted to say something to the effect of Bakunin and Schlegel, but I'm probably wrong.

Dang! Did I get some wrong? Oh well, it has been over 20 yrs. Who am I kidding?
