The little reference above to a pseudo whatever reminded me of the youngish 
college professor who always sauntered across the campus sporting an elegant 
cane. He was regarded as something of a Parisian dandy or boulevardier by 
students, completely out of place in the US. They laughed behind his back. During a 
fire drill it came out that he had a prosthetic leg -- the original torn away 
by a mortar shell in some damned warlet. He needed that cane as insurance 
against falling when he walked outdoors. The cane was no affectation. The 
professor and his cane were the genuine goods.

Give yourself a good kick. It will do you good. I'm going to use a fancy word 
to put icing on this little epistle: tu quoque.
