I could see it.

She was dressed in her Bill's regalia.

She looked like a member of Grizzota.

Should we talk about gooning?

Why not?

Baby, let's goon.

The greatest contribution to the Western canon in...

The history of gooning literature.

Great and disturbing reporting.

Yeah.

Well, just to take us back in time, goon as a premise, as a word, meant something very different, I would say.

So I should say that gooning, if we're going to cut to the chase of it, it is not merely like this dystopian form of, I would say, pandemic-inspired isolationism that also has like this strange community that's now truly built around it, a subterranean almost like culture around communal masturbating.

There is that, but it seems like the core of it is this knowledge that if your friends and colleagues knew that you were up to this, they would be horrified.

Interesting.

Like Goon World, as it has been described in this, and I got to say this, this is in Harper's Magazine.

The wave pool is different.

There is a term called the goon state.

And the gooner goons to reach the goon state.

And what the article suggests is that most gooners do not actually successfully get to, you know, get 8 to 12 hours at a time to masturbate regularly.

They do that apparently a few times a month, the rest of the time masturbating four.
