There was originally a Bandersnatch in the frame, but they couldn’t quite catch it.

ETA he says “borogroves” both times. Wrong, Cabbagepatch, wrong.

Was it frumious?

This is great, but Wil Wheaton wasn’t the source. He reblogged it from here: https://grim-aesthetics.tumblr.com/

I am absolutely fumious that they mislabeled this as a Bandersnatch.

Then there’s Sampson the Jabberwock!

Reportedly so, yes. Very frumious.

It’s been a long time since I read Alice and a couple years since I last read the Snark, but for some reason I remember Carroll’s bandersnatch being green. Doesn’t Alice see a flash of something green speedily disappearing over a hill or something? Maybe I’m remembering a derivative work.

For some reason, at this moment I have this strong urge to consume yogurt, raw milk, and bee pollen.

Interesting the way that it seems to be mapped onto a surface, rather than a fully 3d shape.

But why would a simple act of mislabeling render you dirty and oily and redolent of the sea?

That really makes me fruminous.
