this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
If an ad you saw had a polar bear prominently going into an ice cave with "hibernate" on the label, what would you immediate thought be?
I had the "they don't hibernate, do they?" reaction, but I don't know that over-educated Buffistas are the best test-market group on that front.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So the pain will come back in the Spring, hungry from sleeping all Winter and ready to eat me?

Yeah, I know. But it's the only place I can ask and get such quick responses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I had the "they don't hibernate, do they?" reaction
As did I. TBH, I'd be kind of annoyed if I saw that ad, with a possible addition of shaky-fist at the propagation of erroneous information.
