I had been thinking of this myself some time ago, thinking it would be fun...
So here's for me, please try not to laugh too much
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
I got "level" wrong, but well...

Monty Python --- The Philosopher's Drinking Song
Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable*
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table...
David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill. **
Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
And Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And René Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.
* Kant's being "very rarely stable" hearkens to his theory of a stable universe.
** John Stuart Mill becoming ill "of his own free will" alludes to his work On Liberty, which argues for liberty that does no harm to others.
Nothing like British satire.
I said "booger" at the end lol

Why should we not hear native English speaker's voices too after all?
And if someone wants to let me hear their French, they're welcome... (So that we reverse the roles and I get the good one, lol
)
Pacis did a lovely job on the Raven in any case. It was nice to hear.
It was nice to hear.
Alright. I don't have access to my microphone now, but as soon as I do, I shall gladly record something…Why should we not hear native English speaker's voices too after all?
 Tongue.gif "(1) Tongue out :p")
Ok, one came to my mind. It's extremely morbid, but well...
