Answer

That should be obvious at this point... Public and explicit affirmation and confirmation of my contributions to your work AND ALL OTHER BODIES OF WORK that you are aware of AND acknowledgement of the social phenomenon in my life AND I want you to reveal to me where people are going to see this and who is orchestrating it in addition to how much money they are making from it and an explanation as to WHY I'M NOT GETTING IT...
Hym "There's your answer. Another question I would have is 'Are they going to give me my money or am I going to prison for child murder?' But I think that one is kind of implicit in overarching kind of meta-narrative we have going on here... It's kind of baked in to this whole thing... Yep... Oh! AND I want you to come see Hidden Forbidden Garbage-Can! You WILL NOT BELIEVE how much garbage I have up in this bitch! I mean, if I had to guess like... A quarter of a ton... 500 pounds... Right? Like, I have these 40 gallon garbage bags, right? And I could probably fit like 50 lbs of garbage in each bag... I could probably fill AT LEAST 10 bags... That's like 500 lbs. Not counting the cardboard. Probably like 35 lbs of cardboard.... It's dope! You're gonna like it! There's a pretty solid mix of the different types of garbage, you know? Cans, wrappers, bags, bottles... We got everything over here! It really is the greatest work of art that has ever been made AND only one person is allowed to see it! Well, no, 2nd greatest if you count the hypertext I'm doing here... SUPER OMEGA BIBLE SUPREME! In stores now! $44.44 at the Amazon stordy store stordy store! It's the ULTIMATE hypertext! And was written by a mustache-man who is literally better than everyone!"
