Props to Peleg for doing the one thing we can’t, kicking Ishmael’s ass

If anyone is interested, this has been our progress in Whale Weekly so far (using the audiobook timestamps to measure it). December 17-21 was indeed a sudden rush, and I'm feeling we'll have more of it, intersped with long waits with the occasional short chapter like this past week.

I kinda want to see the equivalent one for Dracula Daily, but not sure how to do it lazily, given the non-linearity (maybe copy-pasting the emails into a text editor?)

honestly the quote from Hamlet feels very much like when you’ve found a paper by a preeminent scholar who has published on the topic you’re researching and the paper turns out to be absolute crap but you include a three word citation to bulk up your works cited page

Ishmael is like “I see a tall hot Starbucks and I intend to drink it”

[everylionintheworld]

Yes.

YES.

Cetology is out.

Quohog!!

Queequeg my boy why are you letting them call you that. They called you a Hedgehog!

also apparently a quohog is a type of clam, so it makes a lot of sense for the captain to mistake his name for that
