for the love of the bit.

Marty & the Men (M&M)™️

sometimes i question why people gotta be so serious all the time. which is why i think bits are beautiful, and we could all benefit from bringing more bits to fruition.

with that, here’s a bit about three bit examples i hope to bring to life, in hopes of them inspiring bits of your own one day too:

1. your classic, stereotypical u-haul-style home tour date: going to an open house or a few as a third date with a girl. dw.. i’m not dumb enough to actually buy it, but we can start discussing what we liked or didn’t like, and it opens up the opportunity to get a good read on her character and humor based on how she interacts with the real estate tour person.

2. pranking the intern: we have one intern at pie, and he probably already doubted my sanity the moment i introduced myself with “omg you’re gonna be sitting right there?! i’m so glad we’ll get to lock eyes every day.” so many good bits to brainstorm for an intern. for his upcoming graduation, i’m thinking we wrap every single thing on his desk in congratulatory wrapping paper, including the desk itself, and then include a gift, also wrapped. his primary project as a software engineer has been improving an internal platform we use called The Bakery. a good gift could be a kids’ bakery play-doh set that’ll give him the chance to bake some play-doh pie.

3. playing friend feud: i love a good friend bit. the cover pic shows the one time i took my straight men friends to get their nails done, naturally in our matching m&m shirts (marty & the men™️), and then made a dramatic return to the girliepops back at home with “boys are back in town” blasting as we barged in with our premeditated handshakes and dance. anyway, i wanna play friend-feud, family feud style. but the buzzer would be something better, like first person to get to the end of hopscotch gets to go. and don’t get me started on how fun coming up with prompts could become. that could be its own independent hang. an example could be:

name an excuse lesbians might use to leave their great guncle’s birthday early so they can pick up their girlfriend from therapy.

bits are beautiful.

… and you could be too, if you actually commit to them. 😅
