Mastodon, rejoice! Unto us is revealed a new shibboleth for pedantic people:

This reminds me of screw caps on wine bottles. They were never trashy - they were better than corks the whole time

A three panel comic strip. Panel 1. A close up of a distressed man's face. Around him you can see other people's faces in a darkened surrounding. He is proclaiming 'Oh my god! My god! It's just people talking about how many shots they've had, asking about astrology and saying "hey" a lot! For ever and ever and ever!' Panel 2. The man reaches out his arms and screams as people back away to give him space. He screams 'No!` But with a lot more ohs for emphasis. Panel 3. A heading states - Earlier. We see the same man looking thoughtful. A severed hand perhaps of some simian origin can be seen in the foreground. It appears to be moving of its own will. Magic is afoot. Or a-hand. The man says 'monkey's paw, I wish bar music wasn't so loud'.
Priceless. Perfection.

For the life of me I had never thought before today, ever, of how "Ein Stein" is German(?) for "One Stone".
