@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

But are we the giraffeerman in this analogy or the people in the giraffe market buy the product?

I think we're the giraffeerman but we're not *professional* giraffeerman, those would be blogs or news aggregators (one with a focus on porno... I guess?) or something. We represent a bunch of old knuckleheads just out there on Jough's boat just trying to have a good time. Then someone hauls in some weird big giraffe that smells overpoweringly weird and is generally unsettling and we know we could deal with it if we felt like it and it's certainly a story to tell but to keep it just for the purpose of showing it to other people is just too unpleasant so we throw it back. That is how that video is like a giraffe.
