I'm guessing you "saw" him as opposed to you "were" him, Bansai? Otherwise, your talents go much farther than being a crypto-master. ;-)

Yeah, well He also gave me a wife, and that means I'm occasionally coerced into watching such things as, "What Not to Wear" (I call it "What Not to Watch") or "Say Yes to the Dress" (I call it "Say No to the Show"). Was Mr. Paar an unmarried man?

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."--George Santayana "All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing."--Yoda Some quotes tell you to look to the future. Some quotes tell you to remember the past. Some quotes tell you to live in the now.

Insoluble has more than one meaning. (link)

Sometimes I let the id and the Vodka do the talking. Perhaps this more visceral approach puts me closer to the meaning.
