Who Are You??

[TaraLynn]

I have a question about a person ... incitatus. I would like to know exactly how old are you and what you're all about cause you seem to know the answers to everything ... i'm inspired.

[cynthia dyke]

I say, Incitatus ... I reckon she fancies you.

[Waterwolf]

Incitatus was a Roman consul, which must make him at least, ooh, 2,000 years old. No wonder he knows so much!

[andy hughes]

That would explain his vast amount of horse sense!

[good2skull]

Ahhh if only you all knew ... How old do you think Incitatus is, TaraLynn?

[incitatus]

umm...flattered I'm sure.
Um... umm...ummm...wouldn't it spoil the mystique to let on?
Incidentally a date for incitatus the senator would be around 38 AD, so 1,936 years old or so.
Me, I'm a mere xxxii

[incitatus]

My adding up isn't up to much today, is it? 1,964 years old for the famous horsey.
As to what I'm all about ... I'm a utilitarian situational ethicist with strong tendencies toward frivolity and anarchy. And a frightful bore.

[TaraLynn]

thanks incitatus...it's good to know.

[vittoria]

While we're on the subject Incitatus, what job do you do? I confess I am intrigued... and (forgive me) I guessed you were older than 32...

[incitatus]

Lordy, I am in demand. OK, I have been in my time: cowherd, dairyman, cocktail barman, chef, translator/tour guide, plantsman, teacher, technical consultant, lecturer and researcher. Currently working at a well known university (the more attentive of you will know where because of an answer I gave a while ago) researching stuff it takes me 15 minutes of fast talking to explain at dinner parties ... it's not hard, just complicated.
And I am, honestly, 32.

[good2skull]

And he's a mean dessert chef.

[incitatus]

I did once get a job by cooking the interviewess's profiteroles.....sudden qualm...is this bribery and corruption?

[cynthia dyke]

How does good2skull know about Inky's dessert skills? I think we should be told!

PS If you're ever in, say, the Gower Street area of London, I'll buy you a drink, oh equine senatorial one.

If good2skull doesn't mind, that is.

[good2skull]

I say, what are you suggesting ?!! I went to University with Incitatus is the answer. Anyhoo, Good2skull is highly unlikely to mind anyone buying Incitatus a drink. Probably needs one. Honestly this website is turning into a lonely hearts forum.

[incitatus]

Cynthia: frequently in London as work near Kensington Gardens. Arranging drink without attacks from random psychopaths could be tricky, however.
good2skull: god, did I? give us a clue, who's hiding behind that pseudo?

[good2skull]

Here's a clue, I know about "Fries" and sm�rg�sbord.

I should ask the answerbank to edit the name of your road out, Cynthia, otherwise you may well encounter a lot of people introducing themselves to you by their silly answerbank names. What about the smorgasboard?

[cynthia dyke]

Artisan: Thank you for your concern, young man. I am *quite* capable of fending off people with funny names, though. Gower Street is not my abode: it is an area surrounded by universities.

[artisan]

It wasn't so much fending as suggesting it could be rather annoying. "Hello, I'm Fargugle", "Hi, I'm Spurge" and so on. How did you hope to find incitatus then?

[incitatus]

How many horses in togas do you see in Gower street? Id be wandering along boring random strangers.
