Everyone else kept talkin’ about it, so my “stubborn” kicked in.

Got it.

Eventually.

Man, that was a lotta work, even with the hints.

Reminds me a bit of this one:

A man grows cranberries. He has so many, he starts selling them. People love his cranberries, business booms. He decides to incorporate and scale his business. He hires an assistant.

All is going well, but he is struggling to come up with a name for his company. His assistant tells him to just use his own name. The boss, being humble, resist this.

“Maybe I could use my name,” he says, “but code it somehow. Perhaps another language, like Swahili, Aramaic, Sanskrit, Pig Latin…”

“That’s a great idea, Mr. Sprocean!”

I think it’s an inside joke.

As in, it only makes sense and / or is funny inside Gatopescado’s head 😃

I think the idea is that, for old folks like most of us, ANY song by a Gen Z (or perhaps even Millenial) artist is “new.”

My guess was that it was a dig at the singer, being so bad that any rendition of the same song will sound different from the ones before. I have no knowledge of her at all though.

Let me explain… (I think she’s great, by the way)…

It seems like every time I hear something new lately (listening to new Sirius channels), she is somehow involved. She’s got like 4 bands, 12 side-projects, collaborates with _everyone_, produces, has her own label…

So, the (poor) joke is… Yes, _every new song_ is hers.

> “Let’s eat punctuation.”

* * *

### What do you call it when a physician corrects your punctuation?

> A medically induced comma.

* * *

### I recently won a punctuation competition.

> My prize was an apos-_trophy_.

* * *

### Why did Punctuation ruin Santa’s marriage?
