Absolutely! And this (and especially conculture)
are proper venues for such!
A challenge especially for those of us whose eyes
water at the thought of politics. Personally, I'd

But I did have some fun playing the part of the

Well, I told thee langsyne, get that new auxPrufe
Industries coat! It's very comfy and can
withstand a tetradirectional blastoflame for more
than six hours and is quite resistant to Godwin
Bombs and Throckmorton Incisorisors. Tha'd do
well to invest in one!
