@anthracite I think comedy is one of those things that gets passed on, possibly by making references. I think I get similar stuff where sometimes US cultural refs baffle me.

The Pythons are a good example, I also got some refs to The Goon Show offered to me in my youth, which was a little before that and was a lot of puns and surreal radio humour.

(this has gotten me relistening to The Lurgi Strikes Britain, which I feel is appropriate to the past year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svy0oThG6QA)

@anthracite this could be a left/rightpondia difference, over here that kind of wordplay (endless confusion) is often shown with the Four Candles sketch so I'd think of that before Who's On First.

Although Four Candles is confusions of objects by purposefully playing with pronounciation not using names that are also words, so similar but different.

But yeah, all comes from places and its interesting to watch how refs change rapidly between generations, stuff I ref is unknown to younger friends

@anthracite I have heard from people that Cosgrove Hall (infamous UK kids animation studio) has a lot of callbacks/homages/ripoffs to earlier comics, for me however this sticks in my brain as the originator as I think I saw it at a time to fix it there if that makes sense.

Also I am now pondering joke-tropes or joke-families as there's got to be terminology for that.

Went out for a walk guided by some work with Elen of the Ways today, it's hard to convey how beautiful I find the bay, although I could have done without the snow and ice on my side of it.

Was interesting to be in touch with others doing similar working via voice while it was going on. We were remote but close, able to talk about how we felt through our own contact with exploring the paths of the world.

@anthracite feels legit to me. Although my brain just started playing through No Sax Please We're Egyptian (https://youtu.be/7ZP1fGikI3k?t=965) in an unhelpful manner.

One of my current work/sleep environments wrecked my nerves again, this morning I've had the fun of my middle finger/thumb doing several bouts of slightly alien uncontrolled twitching along with zappy pains and occasion tingles in my forearm and fingers.

There is something fascinatingly weird about body parts moving on their own, I think its because it removes part of the feedback loop between nerves/brain-intent/proprioception.

Check your ergonomics :)

Also tomorrow has the adventure of maybe trying to figure out why the colours are fucked in emacs inside nested tmux sessions (fine without, fine at top level tmux, screwed further in).

Why do terminals suck so hard sometimes.

Downside: I gave it a gentle wipe with a cleaning wipe and then dried it off and now some of the keys are very gently overcleaned maybe and slightly almost squeaky against fingertips?

I figure it'l wear off in a day or two of typing as it builds up enough cruft but just uuuurgh this is not a good feeling!
