Good work Smurf,

hope there is some ventilation in that booth because without it youll end up talking "HUDDLESTON"esque

"Keep working man, damn damn damn any delays, keep working before a herd of those damn damn bears comes through and does much damage to the building in which you are working!...Oh no here comes stoker, he'll tie me up again the bounder!, thats the end of my typing tonight!
