I've had a bit of a stressful evening. See when I was at uni, I used to claim that I worked at a company called OrcaCare, that designed harnasses for helping distressed killer whales. It turns out, I didn't really work there, and it was just a stupid bit to amuse people at parties. It's pretty much stolen from the George Costanza "marine biologist" bit from Seinfeld. But then it turns out, that OrcaCare really does exist, and they are launching legal action against me for disparaging their name. But now it turns out, that's not true either. I just made that last sentance up. ORCA Care is apparently an online business, but has nothing to do with killer whales. The truth is, I have had a stressful evening, but I didn't want to get into the details, so I thought I'd talk about OrcaCare for a while to help calm my nerves. (sigh) #OrcaCare

    I actually did used to go on about OrcaCare a lot. My favourite flourish was emphasising how we designed the harnesses for rescuing killer whales, but we didn't actually do any rescuing ourselves. We were just the back office workers. Somehow that aspect really made people believe it. #OrcaCare
