Neil, Amanda And Silent Bob Too

The tweeting of Neil Gaiman to Amanda Palmer and vice versa is generally one of those very life affirming aspects that justifies the existence of the internet in its entirety. But yesterday we all learnt of one of the dangers inherent within this modern delight. Getting Kevin Smith involved.

Amanda Palmer: @neilhimself will you please play tambourine on my new song? you only have to hit it ONCE and therefore you need no sense of rhythm.

if you say no i am going to have to have an australian-wide contest.

Neil Gaiman: What exactly are you offering, to lure me out of my well-earned tambourine-playing retirement?

Amanda Palmer: you're a legend. you can't let your fans down. do it for the kids. all proceeds to save everything. etc?

if you don't say yes, i'm asking steven king.

that's right. and if stephen king says no, i'm asking @THATKEVINSMITH.

Neil Gaiman: What?

And it was only a matter of time…

Kevin Smith: I live to serve, dear Lady of the Arts. However – if I may be so bold? That "man" you're so charitably "dating"? That @neilhimself? He's a daisy-picker. A buggerer of unholy proportions (all sailors, I'm told I express this, not to bury @neilhimself, but to praise him: for nobody loves maritime man-ass more than Gay Men. He yam what he yam.

A few hours later…

Neil Gaiman: I think you should let @thatkevinsmith play tambourine. It seems to mean a lot to him. Perhaps making COP OUT unhinged him.

Amanda Palmer: You're not serious.

Neil Gaiman: we must love our enemies. And let @thatkevinsmith play your tambourine. #aslongasheunderstandsitsnotaeuphemism.
