RIP Ahab, you would've loved moveable prosthetics, Life360, and anger management classes

RIP Starbuck, you would've loved the DSM-5, HR, and the phrase "shut the fuck up"

RIP Stubb, you would've loved ASMR YouTube channels, brain rot humor, and starting flame wars on Twitter

RIP Flask, you would've loved platform boots, saying "bro it's not that deep", and prepackaged sticks of salted butter

RIP Fedallah, you would've loved the gift of prophecy awarded to people on tumblr, not having a phone, and 2020 COVID lockdown

RIP Queequeg, you would've loved Obergefell vs. Hodges, sweatpants, and having personal beef with the Duolingo owl

RIP Tashtego, you would've loved cotton candy vape, trolling people on the internet, and calling things "white people nonsense"

RIP Daggoo, you would've loved not playing basketball (out of spite), offering "uppies", and work visas

I'll follow him around the Horn, and around the Norway maelstrom, and around perdition's flames before I give him up.
