*laughter*. That'd certainly be a fulfillment of a favorite thought of mine
"turn disadvantage (the spam) into advantage (translation practice)"
Unfortunately, for me, much of it wouldn't be appropiate vocabulary for the

Although...I suppose it is possible there are magical equivalents to some of
the *ahem* "biological adjustments" being advertised...somehow, I am not
sure I want to go down that road.
