This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.

Alas, not original like Sprog, just an individual with quite refined tastes quoting from the excellent classic poem by Lewis Carroll https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/42916/jabberwocky

Lol, "One, two! One, two!" at the beginning had me thinking it's Danny Brown or Quasimoto or something.
