Please don't laugh


I've been contemplating writing a post of this sort, revealing the actual philosopher behind the ancient facade, for quite some time now. Stealing jyankee's recent post was the perfect idea! I've done it once more before and got away with it, so why not push my luck a bit further.

So, my dear friends from the blogoshere, sit back comfortably, brace yourselves because it's time for revelations!

This is a picture of yours-truly from a couple of years back - notice how I unceremoniously removed my sister from the photo - in the wonderful Greek island of Sifnos. (You'd want to visit there sometime 'cause the food is fantastic!)

Hoping that you have recovered from the shock (especially the ladies), I shall proceed without further ado to providing you some more information on Epi.

I have a question, Epi (and here I thought your REAL name was George :)) what does Diogenes of Sinope translate to?

Rebecca said...

By the way, thank you for posting your photo. And the island is really beautiful.

I already felt like I knew you, but now that I've got a name I can truly call you a friend. :) Nice to meet the real you Epi!

No wonder your favorite color is sky blue. Looks like you've got a lot of that where you are.

Thanks for playing in this fun meme. It's great to see another happy photo!

Wow! What a fantastic view. I have always wanted to visit Athens. Thanks for playing! And thanks for the linkage.

Oh, you look as charming as you sound/write!(and you were trying to mislead us into thinking otherwise).

It's no wonder you had such a headache over inventory the other day. Your company has got the biggest inventory!

Nice picture, and Nice to meet you Epi. Oh I'm so used to say "Epi" now and it could take a while to switch to Emil :)

rebecca, Diogenes of Sinope was the great cinic philosopher of antquity. The story goes that when Alexander the Great went to see him, Diogenes asked him to move over because he was blocking the sun! (more at wiki)

David, nice to meet you too! :)

About time you posted a picture! I was actually picturing you in my mind as an old guy in a toga. What a relief!

Epimenides said...

Sorry for the delay kate! I only dress in a toga for formal occasions! Hahahah :)
