@breakfastgolem @healyn *actually* the full title is "Lester Miserables' Monster"

@breakfastgolem @healyn Little known fact, Lester got wrote out in the third re-write, but they had already printed the covers so they just had to go with it.

@healyn If you'd read the books, you'd know it's about a group of people who are less miserable than the rest, hence the "Les Miserables"
If anything, it should actually be "Less Miserable"
(I believe omitting the second "s" of "Less" is creative license which is explained elsewhere in the Victor Hugo Expanded Universe)

@healyn no it should be “Less Miserable”

@healyn
or "fewr", since "les" is one letter less than "less"

@healyn Excuse me sir but express checkout is for people who have 14 Miserables or fewer

@healyn You mean it's not about sad lesbians?????

Shouldn't 'i' be capitalised though, @healyn?

@healyn I wish that you would Miserab less

@healyn wait does that mean there are multiple Claypools ?

@healyn this is one of yr best

@healyn@mastodon.social holy mother fuck this is an incredible post

@healyn @JustFrank or miserable, singular.

@healyn it’s countable! lol

@healyn Ah, a common misunderstanding: Javert's name in the original novel was Lester Miserobles.

@healyn I'm so angry at myself for laughing so hard a this

@healyn Surely “Fewe Miserables”

@healyn @jimbob

@healyn @Neat_hot No, see, that's a common mistake. It's eponymous: That is the guy's first name.

@healyn Misspelled and with poor grammar! How that musical ever became so popular is beyond me

@healyn Colloquially known when I lived in London as "The Glums", which sounds like a 1970s sitcom.

@healyn but we have so much, the misery is uncountable!
