(A Rodriguez is also at the party- -, but hes too busy parking cars outside to merit a photograph.) My answer to the lady was simple: You have to be a Some- body to be photographed. And you have to pass the Somebody Exam. Whats the Somebody Exam? Its an examination to separate the Somebodies from the Anybodies. And then I told her of my experience last year when a dedicated Somebody arrived at my office. Cyclops, youve been nominated as a possible candidate for Somebody status.
