Obliquely related story.
My wife was briefly an actor, and they were running The Cask. During one rehearsal, the guy playing Montresor was doing the brick laying, and he started going:
“One brick… ah, ah, aah!
Two bricks… ah, ah, aaah!”I don’t know if you had to be there, but I almost died laughing. Now I can’t read or see a reference to The Cask without thinking about that.
Threeee bricks… ah, ah, aaaah!
False flags are a real thing and hateful people often hide behind emphatic opposition of what they would rightly be criticized as being.
For the love of God, Montresor!
Yes, for the love of God!
This was my first exposure to “laconic wit” that I remember as a kid, and I fell in love :)
Puts me in mind of this story by Poe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cask_of_Amontillado
Idk seems like a stretch
I know that’s what the comic is referencing, but I prefer to imagine they’re giving him the Henry treatment
Didn’t know Thomas the tank engine had sad endings
That was a pretty brutal ending. He didn’t get sympathy at all from those other trains.
Well, Edward would still peep “hello” at him, at least. But, yeah, Gordon just laughed and said “serves you right” when he passed.
