now anyway, join us for a ted talk on this, hosted in a lovely cellar,

@Fidgetcetera because there is something darkly comical about killing someone by slowly building a brick wall around them

@Fidgetcetera i don’t know, but same. there’s some level of “i spent a lot of time analyzing this story and it’s actually pretty well written” that makes me a fan of that and the william carlos william poem references

maybe it’s partly because it is a joke that feels like it should be way more obscure than it is? like i can say “for the love of god Montressor” and put a really vivid mental image in a small group’s head and that’s funny to me?
