undefined | Better HN

If I say... buy a bottle from you would you autograph it for me? You’ve been elevated to the position of rockstar in my little corner of the world. It is only fitting for an autograph to follow. :)

I do sign those Kleinbots, although it kinda slows me down (it's hard to write with a sharpie on a compound curve). So order it a few days from now - when I have more free time - and tell me in the order comments.

(at the moment, this Hacker News squib has resulted in a veritable tsunami of Klein bottle orders -- over a dozen -- and I'm getting kinda backlogged. Looks like I'll be working tonight & tomorrow. And it's my turn to wash the dishes tonight...)

Even better, order it a few days or weeks ago, before it hit HN! Then you will have a story you already told to your friends.

Oof! That sounds tiring. I’ll hold off on ordering. :)

I have a ton of questions though, is there some way to reach you? (I’ll wait to ask these too!)

I wonder if the downvoters realise who they’re downvoting.

Stratoscope5y ago

They never do. And the person they are downvoting is much too polite to point it out!

Oh, hi! I remember seeing the above video one of the previous times the Klein bottle was submitted here, and telling myself that I definitely need to do an order and pickup the next time I'm in the Bay Area (it's around 8,500 miles from where I'm at).

Hopefully that'll be possible once the pandemic passes!
