> my first thought was that i wonder if that’s how Jake’s grift normally goes; stuff whatever isn’t nailed down into your sizeable pockets while everyone’s distracted with meta bullshit. but if we’re still thinking of Jake as a doppelganger for English, the thought that inevitably comes to mind is that Hussie and English are some kind of double act, and English can only get away with what he does because everyone’s too busy looking at Hussie when he does it…

this being the very scene where we get Hussie’s “Why are [my fingers] orange? Let’s not answer that question” commentary, i also can’t help but think that the message here is “ignore whatever Dirk’s doing and focus on what Jake’s up to behind the scenes”; but maybe the fact that there’s even such a coy comment on that page is exactly the kind of meta bullshit we’re supposed to avoid being distracted by?
