Bad Punchline: Harvest Moon

I was on Skype the other day and someone started describing something they were trying to do and though I knew immediately what they were talking about without their having said specifically the wildly confused reaction of the other person in the group prompted me to say:

"Yeah, describing Harvest Moon in detail does make it sound like some kind of absurdest play about a guy with OCD. 'Every morning he gets up and throws his sleeping cat across the room and then after laboriously watering all his flowers one-by-one he saddles up his ostrich and goes gallivanting about the town throwing things at the townspeople he's trying to befriend.'"
