@bryn me and the lads are going to the club and we're hoping to shave mad puss

@Ophillous @bryn this is nothing

@alex @Ophillous thank you alex

@bryn @alex don't y'all know the (incredibly bad and Not Good) phrase "mowing puss"?? I hear fratfolk say it with decent regularity

@Ophillous @alex I do but I don't want to acknowledge it

@bryn there's a bit in Alexander Pope's peri bathous about this

@bryn "Catachresis:
A Master of this will say,

'Mow the Beard,
Shave the Grass,
Pin the Plank,
Nail my Sleeve.'

From whence results the same kind of Pleasure to the Mind, as doth to the Eye when we behold Harlequin trimming himself with a Hatchet, hewing down a Tree with a Rasor, making his Tea in a Cauldron, and brewing his Ale in a Tea-pot, to the incredible Satisfaction of the British Spectator."

@garfiald @bryn is garf the pope of mastodon?

@cdmnky @bryn i certainly hope not, pope was a cunt

@garfiald this is fucked

@bryn i regret to inform you that alexander pope has owned you from beyond the grave

@garfiald ghosts won't leave me alone

@bryn when I’m raking I always think of it as brushing the earth

@veryonlinedad @bryn raking over grass=brushing
Raking over dirt=sweeping

@bryn giving my topiary sparrow a high fade

@ben @bryn a very close shave
