g~j have been saving this one for an appropriate moment...
Hobbes is one of our fav philosophers...
(Calvin too, of course...)
For such is the nature of men, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned;
Yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves:
For they see their own wit at hand, and other men's at a distance.
but obviously this is all tangential to sr. choripan's inquiries...
1st hijacked by p~x...
then by nwdiver...
then by neruda...
now by hobbes...
we'll reel back into the thread...
g~j spent some time in Lima last year...
other than sampling some excellent diversions in the food arena...
*albeit diversions from mostly our own - "C^6 fusion~style"...
i.e. confused canuk~chinese~chilean culinary concoctions
we were not at all sorry to leave Lima and hastily return south of 18^18'18.18"
Wind-blasted expat
Like overripe kiwi smells
Valpo's pee and poo
Hijack a thread, fly
Expats to Chile, complain
Till ransom is paid
Puerto meada,
Cerros de excremento

btw...
the word you want is...
Sarchasm : The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
