keep in mind, we've only just been introduced and on all accounts, he should be horrified. he doesn't appear to be, so i offer him 10 points if he knows the song. without missing a beat, he says, "of course! that's Happiest Home In These Hills by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn from Disney's live action/animated feature film Pete's Dragon." i stare at him for a couple of seconds, then, "well, yes, but do you know the year of it's release?"
we both happily look at each other for a bit.

ME: do you often get asked if you're any relation to iggy? (snickers)

PP: no, no, but mary poppins was once my mistress and i get loads of inquiries about that. (rolls eyes dramatically)

ME: (looks him over appreciatively) mad props for scoring with mary poppins, i've always wondered about her alleged "spoonful of sugar".

PP: Every time I whispered, "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" into her ear, she would tear my footed pajamas to the floor and have her way with me. Bi-polar psycho.

oh yes, darlings, this is going to be fun.

much later...

PP: could you help me choose a photo for my profile?

ME: oh wow, this is tough. i actually like the scruffy one, but probably just because i'm a big fan of smokey treats, and I was just thinking I'd like one.

PP: hahaha!!! smokey treats!!! i love 'em too... they're quite delicious. i asked someone once, "If you were starving and out of smokes... and you only had $5 in your pocket... would you buy a sandwich or smokes?" his response was, "Smokes of course... You can EAT your smokes, but you can't smoke your sandwich."

oh yeah.
