Thank you all for your kind words, but I really did fuck up. I let down a friend whom I deeply admire, I did something I knew they hated, and even if I didn’t do it on purpose, the impact is the same. So I have to make up for it somehow.
@Sempf If you’ve got a hair shirt, I could use one right about now
I am a horrible person and I fucked up bigtime.

@cstross @pluralistic The sad thing is that many of the bubble blowers I see are really old enough to know better. FOMO still plays an outsized role in this.

@phoenix

I have questions

@darwinwoodka @phoenix I have the sort of childish sense of humour that won't let the expression "banana beaver" go past without sniggering.
@phoenix OK but why are the giraffes actually Homer Simpson?
@theplaguedoc @phoenix Because he is a giraffe. Obviously.

@phoenix Many years ago we had diner at a restaurant (called bistro 69 or something), where my mother ordered a banana-split as a desert.

The placement of the banana, the huge strawberry and the 2 vanilla ice cream balls were ... very specific.

It took several minutes before my mother could eat, cause she couldn't stop laughing.

Archeologist: This pearl necklace from 36'000 years ago necessitated 3000 man-hours of work.
Me: Nobody would put so much work into something so futile.
Also me: *adds bananas to the grocery list*
