pooter. Noun. (plural pooters) A glass jar used for collecting small insects etc; it has two tubes, one (protected by a gauze) which is sucked, the other up which the insect is drawn.
Socrates, Plato and Xenophanes, erudite on the path to Sophrosyne, but none shall pass, without a little gas, so when there’s a bee in your bonnet, whip out your pooter and get right on it.
Drifting from the moment to a deeper contemplation. I find a wondrous perfection very nearly unnatural to the world I know. The fact of your drawing breath brings me to a new understanding, a crystalline encapsulation of being, separate from the noise and clutter. My rigid exterior and unblinking gaze cannot hide that within myself, I am all gooshy.
Don’t freeze your delicates off, daydreaming there in the cold, my Froglandian friend! Pooters may crimp your style or bottle your bugs, but a word to the wise may suffice: how’s your sophrosyne today?

I don’t think that’s what Socrates and Matthew Yglesias meant when they used those words.

One of those words has alternative definitions … and they’re kind of opposites.
And I’m THRILLED that that Greek word gets to keep such out-of-left-field company. Thank YOU, Teresa.

… drinking prune juice and reading Frog Applause does the same thing…
… John Wayne had proportionally small feet…

A short time ago, a police bulletin from Beantown advised they had multiple active pooters.
While some residents there practice sophrosyne, others are of a more volatile disposition. Some are apt to air their internal grievances.

To poot, or not to poot, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous flatulence,
Or to hold firm against a sea of bubbles
And by opposing end them. To die—to poot,
No more
Everything in balance, amen.

Take care on your trip to sophrosyne, don’t forget to let it rip and be carefree.

Wondering if the illustration is of Luke, the person given thanks, cause if I didn’t know better, I would say that is me.
