hey Paul! ziga zaga, ziga zaga, oi! oi! oi!

I've never conga'd before, but here goes!

Is that part of doing the conga?

De de de de de de-de, de de de de de de-de. de de de daa, de de de daa! This is fun!

Yeah we're so so sophisticated!

This is the virtual conga, honey, where anything goes.

Paul seems to be a follower of his namesake Paul Feyerabend!

If I was born first, wouldn't he be *my* namesake?

Who's Paul Feyearotthwpoinblebinebend?

... or whatever his name is.

*sigh* Feyerabend was a philosopher... He was born in 1924 - suppose you can't beat that.

Here's a quote from wikipedia:

Okay, he was born first.

"Anything goes" was also a song made famous by Ethel merman.

"Anything goes" will also be the tagline of my thesis!

That's great!

But will I still be alive when you finish it?

(But that's a kind laugh, not a mean one. )

Well, depends on your state of health... and how much younger you are compared to Feyerabend... To be honest I can't guarantee for nothing!

Well, I'm 57 now, but young at heart.

My parents are still alive at 85, and might have a few more years left in them.

Hmmm... you're 57? The guy in the photo looks younger than that. Maybe it's not you after all.

It might well be someone else. Don't worry about it.

Somewhere in the Hootoo archives there are links to a picture of me in a cornfield in Pennsylvania with a stuffed pink rabbit on my lap. Someday maybe you'll meet Fluffy Pink Rabbit, who has started a new series about a superhero who hoppens to be a rabbit.
