run away to be a gaucho

A brief IM conversation this afternoon between me and an acquaintance I will call "Bob" because his name is not Bob but it is similarly classic:

bob's new status message - thinking of bailing and running away to argentina to be gaucho. who's with me? 4:24 PM

me: yes please

wait, just checking - gauchos don't have editors, right?

bob: ha ha! come along!!!

they certainly do not and drink wine and sing on horseback all the day long

me: well, then that sounds just perfect.

I like singing.

and wine.

not so sure about horses.

bob: well, you can have a unicorn then.

just kidding. those don't really exist in south america.

but you can have a llama.

me: ooh! ok then.

sign me up

bob: DONE! yay!
