so lacking as it is...
:15:05
in pride, genius
the lyrical and picturesque

:15:07
in spark, spunk, in brief: in nose.
:15:13
So take a boot instead to your backside
:15:16
Help! Call the Guard!
:15:17
A warning...
:15:20
to you who find my coutenance
a source of sport.

:15:21
Be you noble, my swift response
is different altogether.

:15:28
I strike with steel...and not leather!
:15:30
He's a bit of a bore.
:15:32
A braggart.
:15:33
Who shall it be, gentlemen?
:15:35
Nobody? Wait, you can leave it to me.
:15:42

:15:44
That thing of yours...
:15:47

''No, a peninsula in size and shape!''
:16:24
Curious: ''What is that oblong?

''A writing desk or am I wrong?''
:16:30
Gracious: ''Are you food of birds?
:16:34
''You provide a gothic perch

:16:38
''to rest their feet.''
:16:40
Truculent: ''A smoker? I suppose...''
:16:43
The fumes gush out from that nose
like a chimney on fire.''

:16:48
Kind: ''It will drag you in the mire
head-first with its weight.''

:16:54
Tender: ''I'll have an umbrella made

:16:58
Pedant: ''The beast of Aristophanes
the hippocampocamalelephunt...''
