Hello, Karl. I missed youuuuu.

[thxnks4themrms]

I WAS BORN TO LIVE IN A CITY WITH FOUR SEASONS BUT NO IM STUCK HERE IN FUCKING CALIFORNIA WHERE EVEN THE FUCKING FOG HAS A NAME

[webuiltthiscity]

I asked ChatGPT to write lyrics to the tune of Gangster’s Paradise, about Karl the Fog creating a snail paradise, and it did not disappoint (pasted below).

(Verse 1) As I walk through the misty streets I can feel the chill beneath my feet The wet fog rolls in, so serene It's the arrival of a character, so keen

Karl the Fog, he's the master of disguise With a presence that you just can't despise He brings the snails out to play In his gangster's paradise, day by day

(Chorus) Karl the Fog, he's a living dream Unveiling a world you've never seen He brings the snails, slow and steady In his wet fog, everything gets ready

(Verse 2) He creeps in, shrouding the city with grace A cloak of moisture on every place The fog horns sound, a haunting melody Bringing the snails out from their hiding spree

Karl the Fog, he's got a mystic sway Transforming the night into a misty ballet With each step they take, they leave their trail In Karl's paradise, they never fail

(Chorus) Karl the Fog, he's a living dream Unveiling a world you've never seen He brings the snails, slow and steady In his wet fog, everything gets ready

(Bridge) In this foggy realm, time slows down Snails glide along, without a frown They navigate through the damp embrace Leaving trails behind, their own snail race

(Verse 3) Karl the Fog, he's a mysterious guide Creating a world where the snails can't hide In his presence, they venture out with pride In his paradise, they can finally confide

The wet fog's aura, it sets the stage A backdrop for snails, who turn a new page Karl's Gangster's Paradise, where they unite Slowly crawling, illuminated by night

(Chorus) Karl the Fog, he's a living dream Unveiling a world you've never seen He brings the snails, slow and steady In his wet fog, everything gets ready

(Outro) In Karl's Gangster's Paradise, the snails roam With the wet fog as their loving home Embracing the mist, they dance and play In Karl's realm, they'll forever stay

The Golden Gate Bridge and Fog go together like, gosh, Hepburn and Tracy?

Also also humans: Hector the Convector seems lonely. I bet it’d get along with Karl the Fog. Okay, they’re friends now.

Mike Douglas and Karl Malden in The Streets of San Francisco, one of three tv shows used in Guy Madden's The Green Fog (2017).

Dennis Harvey wrote of the film in Variety "This ingenious gizmo will ... delight Maddin fans, or anyone else who enjoys games played with and about old movies."
