Then again, one wouldn't post one they thought was perfect, however it got there,
in a workshop for ideas on how to mess with it.

    Yes. Though, with mine, they come to me and demand it. Not in words,
    but by actions: Jump on keyboard, chest, vital piles of important papers, and various
    sorts of prized, breakable objects. Ruthless beasts, red in tooth and claw, constantly
    requiring me to prove my manhood... or subservience (obviously the latter, but I
    steadfastly maintain the former by using the technique of magical thinking).
