For those of you needing an #introduction; yes, I moved instances. I'm now on 
The Canadian Social.
Previous toots dating back to March 2026 can be found at @IanAMartin, toots dating back to August 2022 can be found at @IanAMartin, or for anything posted on a Mastodon instance dating back to April 2022 can be found by perusing @IanAMartin.
You now have been informed and have no justification for complaining.
@IanAMartin @IanAMartin @IanAMartin@Heliograph I’ll grant you a croissant should be something which basically explodes into a bundle of sharp flakes all over the surrounding area, and a damp one will not do that, and that is a Bakery Crime.
However…
SHUT YOUR SCREECH-HOLE YEH USELESS WANKER!!
Now you can carry on ignoring me, as it should be.
Hah! Thank you for that; I’ve just followed it.
Excellent curative for the people who insist that Shakespeare ‘used such beautiful words…’ No, Grandma Agnes, he was writing a script for money; get over yourself.
There’s a line in “Timon of Athens” that's basically the earliest ‘I slept with your mother’ joke I’ve ever encountered.
Not too surprising, as Bill Shakes also had a fowl/foul pun in “Two Gentlemen of Verona” as well.
@Heliograph AHA! I found the quote.
It was actually Titus Andronicus. My mistake.

Villain, I have done thy mother Titus Andronicus (Act 4, Scene 2)
You pragging, elvish-marked, ill-nurtured, hugger-mugger!
