ββ¦where charity was assumed, as a regular uniform, by loud professors and speculators in cheap notoriety, vehement in profession, restless and vain in action, servile in the last degree of meanness to the great, adulatory of one anotherβ¦β

Ohhhhhhh, yeah. Judge is not pleased.
Hmmm. The Fantastic Mr. Fox?

Is Raiders of the Lost Ark too scary?
The Dude AI-bides.
Oversalting? No. Let yourself cook.
