Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

- CamperBob2 2y ago"If you're here to Instagram the ‘quaint Welsh charm,' the taxidermied raven's in the back. Five-pound fee for posers." Pretty snappy, IMHO. Yes, it descends into Bulwer-Lytton territory in a few places, but for every instance where that happens, there are several others where it comes up with something well above par. I'm super impressed, if the examples in the link are really from this model.
