I prostrate myself before the Great One, arms splayed perpendicular to my heart which is saved for service. Please do some work that involves a bit more than pan handling at the mall.

And said so. So there. Now, finish your egg rolls. I bow and scrape as I enter the Great Hall of Mogambo Reality (GHMR).
