“Ooo remembers toastracks” has been my most successful toot of the day, and therefore you can expect a series of future toots on the theme of Ooo remembers eg:

@Nickiquote oh god i can't even tell if it's a joke

[andoriansoup@mastodon.social]

@Nickiquote
I do not recall the pumping of sardines in any way, shape or form

[woe2you@beige.party]

@Nickiquote Obviously I voted yes, but I'm lying. We didn't even have a trawler.

[swoonie@mastodon.ie]

@Nickiquote
This poll is fishy.
You're mightily kidding us, Nick, right?
No-one EVER had a sardine pump in their shed, right???

[mothninja@beige.party]

@Nickiquote I now have "Pump up sardines, pump 'em up / While your feet are stompin' / And sardines are pumpin' / Look ahead sardines are jumpin" irrevocably seared into my brain

@AndorianSoup @Nickiquote ...your honour.

@Nickiquote
WOT?!
#Shadoks are NOT sardines
(But pump of course)

[cazmockett@mastodon.social]

@Nickiquote WTF is a Sardine Pump? ‍️

[nic@toot.wales]

@Nickiquote I don’t want it to stop, but I’ve genuinely never heard of this, and I’m not sure if that means that [2] or [3] is the most appropriate answer.

I will now read the responses and try to work it out.

[bencurthoys@mastodon.social]

@Nickiquote And you've mentioned egg slicers so I have HMHB stuck in my head. Again.

"Playing eerie madrigals
On the campus egg slicer
I’m a pop sensation
I’m an all-round icon"

@Nickiquote I don't know. But I'm assuming we did, because we weren't the kind of household to let any fish go underpumped. 'In this house, we pump the fish', said the sign at the door.

@Nickiquote while clearing my mum’s garage last easter, I found the old egg slicer, which I immediately strummed to hear that secret chord that David played

[tootbrute@fedi.arkadi.one]

@Nickiquote option 5. what the heck is a sardine pump.

@Nickiquote

That's the biggest effing sardine I've seen in my entire effin bunny life.

[brad@1040ste.net]

@Nickiquote You pumped your own sardines? How quaint!

[nickiquote@mstdn.social]

@wood5y @HCBunny Blooming ad companies, you can’t trust them as far as you can throw them.

[alexanderdyas@mindly.social]

@tootbrute @Nickiquote A toot, a combination of words, that outside here would seem utterly absurd, and yet in here it’s just business as usual. I feel right at home
