Angriest Rice Cooker Director’s Cut 68–On epicurean delight

Man, I’m surprised that I didn’t get to this one until this late in the run. This is a quote that I remember discussing in high school Western Civ class. As with many of the half-remembered quotations I later mined for this comic, I seem to recall having a little bit of trouble running this one down to source. The fact that I actually said “Epicurus said…” the quote suggests that I did manage to track it down. A surprising number of famous quotes are actually paraphrases, and ones that I discovered that that is either the case or is possibly the case I tended to have the rice cooker hedge and say that the person is “supposed to” or “reported to” have said something. But then again, this was a time when I was hurrying on these and it’s possible that I just didn’t do that due diligance I sometimes do. Whatever.

Epicurus once said, “The beginning and root of every good is the pleasure of the stomach.” Well, fuck.
