This is too ordered and lengthy to be the result of a pint too many.
While a little lager might inspire such an idea the follow-through
would be purely mental for my own amusement.
It's too long for a ha ha me funny post.
This looks like the work of freaky fungi or some other psychedelic.
Either that or you've got some form of manageable yet borderline
functional personality disorder.
In any case quite an effective and commendable post.
I nearly laughed me bleedin arse off! Thanks for that.
But this may not be a good time to reorganize your folders!
You would probably be able to add some value to my Speech Cleanup
library. Just a thought.
