Serenaded by the laminations of their women?

Perhaps I have too vivid an imagination, but the sound of women being
laminated is not one that I would ever want to hear.

At the point where I find myself, as an emergent effect of my standard
algorithm, systematically nitpicking every birthday greeting offered to
Anders Sandberg, I must consider that maybe my nitpick emission threshold
is set too low...
