That makes me feel old. It’s Waiting for Godot the classic play.

Don’t feel old. A lot of people just aren’t into plays.

Did you read it in high school? I did. And I’m old haha.

I mean Im over 40 and Ive never heard of it. We didnt read plays in high school.

Wow, we read all kinds of plays in English and drama class.

No, I never heard of it, sorry lol. I’m not really into plays though and I’m Canadian so it might not be part of our curriculum.

I am also Canadian. But probably old enough to be your mom.

You could be but she’s not very old. Could be a province or eastcoast/westcoast thing too.

Waiting for Godot is a book.

Published in 52 by Les Éditions de Minuit. In a book.

“En attendant Godot”

Yeah sure, I’ll admit defeat. Btw, weird flex for an Irishman to write a play in French…

Ohhhhh, I thought it was about Godot, the C# game engine

That’s what it’s named after! “The engine you’ve been waiting for.”

It’s a play. And the famous spoiler is that ::: spoiler Spoiler Godot never shows up :::.

Heads-up, that spoiler formatting might not work for users not on Sync.

Yeah, doesn’t work on boost.

Which is weird

spoiler

because boost has a button to add spoilers.

I’m on jerboa, and the spoiler part works okay for me. But it somehow swallowed the first part of the post.

I haven’t looked on the web client.

I checked and it doesn’t work at all on the web.

I don’t think that spoiler worked. Maybe because it’s all on the same line

“Where is your Godot now!”

… Sorry, couldn’t help myself. 😅😂

Well, yeah, that is one of the interpretations.

no. Beckett specifically said “If I meant God I would have written God.”

He also wrote in French, where God is “Dieu” and Godot is “Gohdough” so the pun doesn’t work

He was waiting for good dough.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
