Summary

The "Avaricious Avocado Ambush" web content humorously recounts a series of fruit thefts and apologies, drawing inspiration from William Carlos Williams' poem "This Is Just To Say," and includes multimedia elements and links to previous similar incidents.

Abstract

The web content titled "Avaricious Avocado Ambush" presents a satirical narrative about a fruit-stealing scoundrel who takes avocados, chocolate-covered strawberries, and other fruits, echoing the structure of William Carlos Williams' poem "This Is Just To Say." The content is interspersed with images, tweet embeds, and links to external sources, including a Spotify playlist called "The Hitmagist." The author playfully reflects on the nature of apologies and the preservation of URLs, while also providing a retrospective of past "outings" of the fruit-stealing character through links to related articles on the same platform.

Opinions

  • The author seems to critique the insincerity of apologies, particularly in the context of theft, by mimicking the form of Williams' poem to apologize for eating various fruits.
  • There is a commentary on the fleeting nature of internet links and the challenge of maintaining them over time, as evidenced by the author's need to provide direct links beneath Twitter embeds.
  • The inclusion of a Spotify playlist titled "The Hitmagist" suggests that the author or the character of the scoundrel enjoys a curated musical experience related to the theme of theft and apology.
  • The repeated use of the phrase "This is just to say" in relation to eating various stolen food items implies a humorous take on the concept of modern-day digital "scoundrels" who appropriate content without permission.
  • The author appears to have a sense of nostalgia or appreciation for the continuity of the fruit-stealing scoundrel's narrative, as indicated by the links to previous stories.
  • The mention of Balloon Juice blog and its description adds a layer of playful metaphor to the narrative, likening the act of content appropriation to squeezing juice from balloons.

Avaricious Avocado Ambush

if avocado is a fruit, shall the scoundrel not steal it?

Another Fine Day, Another Fine Mess you’ve gotten me into, Another Fine American Institution of Higher Learning that can’t figure out cool urls don’t change

and again

WHOA — something that works correctly on twitter! A link maintained after all these years, that almost makes up for how slow these embeds are to load and my need to put the links under each embed in case it doesn’t work.

The tweet in question is here but I’m just going to link to it instead of making an embed because why?

And quoting

This is just to say

I have eaten the chocolate-covered strawberries ..

Forgive me they were delicious

so sweet and so chocolatey

Maybe I’m sensing a trend here — Anne gets her chocolate covered strawberries eaten and then this!

I have eaten the berries that were on the counter

and which I had meant to save for salads

Forgive me they were omnomnom smelled ripe and perfect

Huh, well it seems I praised twitter or X or what have you too soon because

From Balloon Juice, a blog of people dedicated to squeezing balloons to get the delicious juice out of them until that juice was snatched by the scoundrel to quench his thirst for snatchery.

And what The Scoundrel Stole?

This is just to say I have eaten the mustard that was in the icebox

and which you were probably saving for leftovers

Forgive me it was delicious so tart and so tangy

This has been another great outing for the Scoundrel where we learned the fruits we stole and apologized insincerely for were the people we met along the way — now here with a playlist loosely inspired by taking stuff and saying sorry —

The Hitmagist!
