In a thread that I have long ago lost sight of, you quipped (roughly) "I plan to be immortal. So far it's working."
At the time I forgot to complement you on the quip. I've since stolen it. In a few weeks, I'll be convinced that I made it up myself. It's a keeper.

Thanks, but I think it's too derivative to claim credit. I think the original (or the first one I came into contact with, anyway) was "I'm planning to live forever; so far, so good!" I wish I remembered the source with certainty. I'm thinking Smullyan, perhaps in "5000 B.C. And Other Philosophical Fantasies."

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

My version is "I plan to live forever, or die trying..."

When asked if I have been a magician my whole life, I reply, "Not yet."

Lobo I think it was Carl Ballentine. At least I think he had a derivation.

I weep for Lobowolf—he is banned!
Oh, weep for Lobowolf! though our tears Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head! And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years To mourn our loss, rouse thy obscure compeers, And teach them thine own sorrow, say: "With me Died Lobowolf; till the Future dares Forget the Past, his fate and fame shall be An echo and a light unto eternity!"

He texted me with the details. I don't know if I'm allowed to disclose those here (or risk banishment myself); PM me if you'd like.
