A Conversation With Annika (as my young sick friend plays with her etch-a-sketch in bed and I read Derrida's last interview)
A: Who's Richard Rorty?
S: He's my favorite philosopher (who died recently) -- he taught at Stanford. I hoped to study with him.

A: He died standing up?... You know, Elvis died on a toilet.
