Part 12 of the Carmina Burana features a swan moping over being cooked and eaten. One of the lines — dentes frendentes video — even makes you clack your teeth together as it’s spoken, mimicking gnawing on the bones.

Mutton Dew? The gamey drink for gamers?

I keep an ancient freeware file manager called ExplorerXP installed specifically for batch renaming. In addition to Replace, it also has options for Re-number, Trim, and Insert (removing/adding X number of characters starting from a user-specified point).
