Great People Die Before They're Dead

[16:34] Anthony Ha: You are a fine and upstanding individual. In the future, I will have my children sew little stick-figure caricatures of you into our furniture.
[16:35] Tu-Anh Nguyen: huh?
[16:35] Anthony Ha
: They will look upon your two-dimensional effigy, and live in awe and wonder as they walk a noble life as you did.
[16:36] Anthony Ha: Sorry, I was trying to go into a long-winded exposition on how you rock
[16:37] Anthony Ha: I hadn't done one this week, yet.
[16:37] Tu-Anh Nguyen: oh.
[16:37] Tu-Anh Nguyen: well then...carry on :)
[16:37] Anthony Ha: I would, but this story I'm coming up with is starting to get creepy.
[16:38] Anthony Ha: First it makes it sound like you're already dead. Second, overly glorifying you isn't easy. And finally, I don't ever want to imagine having kids.
[16:40] Tu-Anh Nguyen: that was my guess after the first sentence
[16:40] Tu-Anh Nguyen: "is he reading my obituary?"
[16:41] Anthony Ha: Yes, because as we've established I can transcend space and time and happened to pass by your funeral and grab a newspaper on my way to taking forever to respond.
