Dr. Tin he said crush Viagra tabs in a sausage grinder and mix in fine aluminum powder, then file rust off the mainframe and pour that in. Pour that carefully into the CD drive, and keep moving it in and out till all the powder is gone. “Don’t worry if there’s a residue,” he say, “no one uses CDs anymore. “Want music, you click, click, click till you get sexy pulse.”

Dr. Tin he said crush Viagra tabs in a sausage grinder and mix in fine aluminum powder, then file rust off the mainframe and pour that in. Pour that carefully into the CD drive, and keep moving it in and out till all the powder is gone. “Don’t worry if there’s a residue,” he say, “no one uses CDs anymore. “Want music, you click, click, click till you get sexy pulse.” I do like he say. Bad people who comment evil get the erection of death. Better have it cut off then die of the horny gangrene. Either way, the scumbag shut up.

I ask Queen Shiskabula why she no care we get bugs. We have machines, they have machines. They try bug us, why not retaliate? “Does your brother not have a law degree he got online?” the Queen answers. “All the paper in Massachusetts can’t hurt us. Our machines are Scorpio. Their machines are Capricorn. No match for us.”

There be this swine who dislikes us. He trolls. He snitches. He complains to youtube. Our platform is the radium that got Madame Curie’s fingers removed. We treated cancer, so how does anyone dare to say we are pernicious? A tumor in the bottle doesn’t lie.
