if i ever see any of you in public, the code is "i like your shoelaces"
that way we know we're from mastodon without revealing anything
im just going to say this to strangers until i find a mastodon person
@iitalics One small issue
My shoelaces are tucked away inside the shoes usually
@iitalics thanks! I stole them from the president
(I wasn't actually on the source site for this, so it's a very poorly-kept secret)
@iitalics but when does the narwhal bacon???
@iitalics ty i stole them from the president
@LunaDragofelis its a 10+ year old tumblr post with tumblr replaced by mastodon (naturally)
@iitalics@cybre.space OMG YESSSSS. I heard that a lot of people on fedi are from Michigan, like me. I'm excited! 
MAKE SURE EVERYONE SEES THIS
@iitalics I'll giggle cause I don't have shoelaces cause all I have to do is slip my shoes on and off I go! No dealing with stupid knots and bending over and risk showing my butt or my pants ripping lol
im so fucking sorry
@iitalics thanks, i stole them from the president
@iitalics i got them from the president
@iitalics oh no. I have very cool shoelaces and am also on mastodon. I will never be able to identify other toot-folk. Alas and alack
i hope everyone boosting this gets the reference lol
