Other times Titicaca came up

  1. I've been at wig school, and I hoped you'd notice I'd been thinking my hair into being longer. There is a group of people in Peru. I think it's the guys on the lake, on the Titicaca, but it might not be those guys. Anyway, to become a man, you need to knit a bobble hat that is solid enough that you can carry water in it. Once you've done that, you go through.

  2. I've worn one of those bobble hats, the Lake Titicaca ones, when I went to Lake Titicaca. Yeah. It's nice to say Titicaca. I know. It's the only reason you raised this fact, I think, is that you get to say it.
