But that may be a little heady for this chat ;-)

@ArthurReutenauer I assume the "heady" is a pun?

@SeanAllred No, it wasn’t, but now you mention it it makes a good one, so I’m going to keep it :-)

@ArthurReutenauer wrong attribution, I think.

@FaheemMitha Oh yes, indeed. Sorry about that.

Hi @Arthur! Any news of the missing cat? :(

@PauloCereda Yes! She’s been found this afternoon, apparently. After more than one week outside.

@ArthurReutenauer Yaaaaaaaay!

@PauloCereda She was very skinny when found, but in good health otherwise.

^^ I probably got the apostrophes wrong. :P

@PauloCereda Yes, that’s what I thought too.

@ArthurReutenauer How nice! I blame @cfr and me. :)

@ArthurReutenauer Actually it was @DavidCarlisle who introduced the guillotine: I proposed Kaveh as president of the world, while David was for king of the world. The step would be first becoming king of England, sending the present royal family to the Tower, where some guillotine show, broadcast by River Valley can take place for the solace of tourists. :)

@ArthurReutenauer Sorry. :)

@egreg brioche? :)

@PauloCereda No, I think you got them right, but actually it’s my girlfriend’s mother’s cat.

@PauloCereda That's another idea! But there's lack of a French royal family, nowadays.

@ArthurReutenauer oooh another apostrophe level. :) Arthur's girlfriend's mother's cat <- is this correct? :)

@egreg Quite true, but there are now three different families who claims royal descent in France nowadays.

@PauloCereda Yes, it seems OK ;-)

@egreg Speaking of French, I miss Bruno. :(

@egreg The Bourbons, the Orléans and the Bonapartes.

@ArthurReutenauer Very well, then! More guillotine shows!

@egreg Sounds good.

@egreg \guillotine\expandafter\head\relax

@PauloCereda \relax is not expandable

@ArthurReutenauer ooh!

@DavidCarlisle \guillotine\expandafter\head\basket\relax

^^ better? :)

@PauloCereda Yes, that’s my girlfriend’s brother who made a lot of efforts to find the cat. The cat itself is two years old, she’s not a kitten anymore but she’s really tiny (even before she ran away).

@ArthurReutenauer Happy ending. :)

@egreg One for the arara user manual epigraphs. :)

@egreg All that makes me want to play the last act of Andrea Chénier at the TUG meeting. Actual guillotine execution on stage.

@ArthurReutenauer No hat? I've always seen you with a hat!

@FaheemMitha @ArthurReutenauer oh I don't mind taking credit for that beauty

@egreg I can have a hat on too :-) The picture is not me, in case that’s what you meant.

@ArthurReutenauer ooh Nicola is a hat enthusiast as well!

@PauloCereda Nicola Talbot?

@ArthurReutenauer The very same! :)

@PauloCereda Cool :-) I think I only met her once, she didn’t have a hat on, but I’ll be attentive ;-)

@ArthurReutenauer :)

^^ she has a hat in her profile photo. :)

@PauloCereda OK OK :-)

@ArthurReutenauer Yours looks like a Fedora. :)

@PauloCereda It’s a Borsalino, actually. But that’s only the brand. The hat type is called a Baku, I think. It dates from 2008, that’s when the picture was taken too (during BachoTeX that year). I don’t have the hat with me any more, I don’t know where it is but it may be in a box I left behind during one of my many moves.

@ArthurReutenauer ooh cool. :) I have an Australian one, but it makes me look like Crocodile Dundee. :)

@PauloCereda The hat I usually wear now is an Italian felt hat bought in Shepherd’s Bush Market in West London.

@ArthurReutenauer ooh

@PauloCereda I’ve also worn an Italian hat for two years, many year ago.

@PauloCereda One of them is a very nice Czech felt hat I bought in Prague three years ago, but the moths have taken their toll on it :-(

@PauloCereda Actually, right now I have three hats standing right behind me, including the one I usually wear nowadays.

@ArthurReutenauer Awesome! :)
