One free t-shirt (or action figure) will be awarded to the first poster in this thread to accurately determine the source of the names of the Urethra Weasels in this strip.

Bonus hugs for the runners-up.

Oh hell. I guess I'll have to pay for my t-shirt.

For the record, the cost of not paying proper attention to your education comes to about $19.95.

Woohoooooo!!

I'd like to thank the Academy for this great honour, and also four years of university for giving me the ability to google at inhuman speeds!

Thank-you, thank-you! *tearful waving*

Can those of us without degrees in philosophy perhaps get an explanation here?

Search for Jean-Paul Sartre, Soren Kikergaard, or Frederich Nietzsche on Wikipedia. Wikipedia will explain their philosphy much better than I could.

You should have named one of them Franklin.
You know, Urethra Franklin? Oh never mind.

Actually, I had only to google Soren. The other two were already familiar ...

That is thanks to having a sociologist for a mom.

And ... Nietzsche has been already mentioned [goats.com] here :)
