The "how mark met tom" and "how tom met mark" sequences make up what is probably the most unique origin story of any project or group I've ever heard of.

You are the purple bunny. Admit it. Admit it. I'm not reading anything else you write until I see the words "I am the purple bunny" appear in my email. I don't want to hear about Paul McFartney being the Eggman. This is more crucial to our civilization and it's parking lots today. I know there's no apostrophe in "its" and I don't care. Nothing matters until. Purple. Bunny.

Yes, I can. That's not the British spelling of "Paul" just like "HNEFATAFL" is not the British spelling of "CRUMPETS&6STRINGS" which was the original intended name of your band until you found out that TikTok @handle was taken. p.s. "Prince" was not British royalty - sorry/not sorry to dispel that illusion you wrote about last Valentine's Day. Also - Santa Claus is not real. You're welcome. Please FedEx me the $DOGE now. Thx.

Loved this. Also, “And I definitely wanted to keep in touch by my phone was almost dead so I gave him my business card (lol)”. What to say. I read the whole piece twice, extracting unusual amounts of pleasure out of it.
