I can see the ChapGpt prompt now: Write a short story about a burly, ex-libertarian geologist who falls in love with a chubby red headed social democrat environmentalist on a camping trip arranged by the local chapter of Indivisible, written in the style of the Fall LLBean catalogue.
Wow that’s rather brilliant. In the spirit of LL Bean tho and inclusion there’s probably a Republican too who comes along on the canoe trip. And there’s absolutely no friction. Only peace (at least in the photo, but fan fic writers can create all the drama.)
Oh this is very excellent. Worthy of McSweeneys. Actaully, McSweeneys WISHES! Also, how did I not know that physical LL Bean stores exist? Feels too good to be true. Did I tell you that the second choice for my second hand car purchase was an old Subaru Outback LL Bean edition? It was green and very cheap. A humble car. I didn't buy it because the man trying to sell it to me seemed cruel. Very un-Bean.
Emma, I did this two weeks ago on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Are you saying I'm weird? I actually started with the Land's End catalogue, I recommend it as a warm up.
And Title Nine with your morning coffee. Those women are FULL of energy and make me feel like I am doing nothing with my life. Def not LLBean relaxation vibes.
A unique and entertaining view of something I wouldn’t have thought about that way in a million years. Send it to them and see if they’ll want you to be their under 5 foot model!

I had no idea LL Bean sold cars! They do it all!!
THE COPY!!! Never would I have considered the copy in the L.L. Bean catalogues. And yes, the pages of The New Yorker ARE too thin.
So many great lines in here, but I'll just call out one for now - "...in my head, I gently murdered him." Fantastic.
Add this, along with box breathing!, to your repertoire of calming activities! happy to be of service! yours in gentle murders

And perhaps Patagonia as dessert? If they have a catalogue. You’re very normal. The gold standard of normal.

oh ok. just looked it up. Title Nine would be for if i do cocaine. different vibe. (i don't do cocaine.)
