Leaving the boat they run into a guy named Elijah. Elijah says things in the most cryptic way. He talks about Ahab (old thunder) and mentions 4 incidents: when he lay like dead for three days and nights in Cape Horn, a deadly skrimmage with the Spaniard at an altar in Santa, The silver calabash he spat into, and of course the last votage when he lost his leg.
He says it's all part of a prophecy. And you can tell he really doesn't want them to go on the boat. They leave and when Ishmael sees him again in the street is relived that he doesn't follow or try and talk to them again.
This is a red flag. A red flag that Ishmael notices and then consciously puts away and trys not to think about.

Also I still have not gotten over Taylor Hawkins death, it's literally too fucking sad. I remember when this performance came out. I cared sooo fucking much. I still care whole lot
The era of youtube skit comedy was such a fever dream. Like tiktok skits today simply lack the raw power that 2012 youtube videos that were titled “These Are The TWENTY Girls That Will Reject You Part 16” made by obnoxious british boys had
