โ€œ After a flight of fruit-inspired beerโ€”watermelon, ๐Ÿ‘ , and raspberryโ€”Gretchen leaned her head back on the booth. โ€œCan I ask you something?โ€ she said.โ€

โ€œI found him outside in the dark, tearing unripe ๐Ÿ‘ es from a tree and hurling them at the peacocks, a characteristically straightforward if counterproductive approach to resolving an annoyance. โ€

You know there is a cult following when stickers are involved
