       | It's a good article and nice work. But I couldn't help but think
       | of that one scene from Rick & Morty when I read this that goes
       | like:
       | 
       | "Everyone has a plumbus in their home. First they take the dingle
       | bop and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem
       | is then...repurposed for later batches.
       | 
       | "They take the dingle bop and they push it through the grumbo,
       | where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the
       | fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all the fleeb juice.
       | 
       | "Then, a schlami shows up, and he rubs it...and spits on it.
       | 
       | "They cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way.
       | 
       | "The blamfs rub against the chumbles, and the...plubis, and
       | grumbo are shaved away.
       | 
       | "That leaves you with...a regular old plumbus."
