Awww. Let it be known that the Fail Whale is a stand-up kinda whale. She's feeding the offspring of those poor birds that got shot down. And there's the blue border from my web site! (More soon!)
Can you feel the love? (Yes, I'm stealing from the last match I did commentary for. So?) Fail Whale sightings on the web are way down now that Twitter has gotten their infrastructure act together. But there was a time when the Fail Whale was really hated. Like despised. HULK SMASH FAIL WHALE! GET IN WAY OF TWEETING TO 2,000 PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HULK'S SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERTISE. Stuff like that. But Jennifer shows that the Fail Whale is a pretty nice sea dweller, not to be SMASHed at all.
Oh and the blue zoom border from kottke.org has made it into the match. First person on Twitter to complain that Jennifer's volley would look better with the old kottke.org design gets the wet tshirt photos and a punch in the face.
ps. to Jennifer: kottke.org Fail Whale.
Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Jason Kottke.
