Contrariwise, they have nominated entertainment that I do not like, which proves that I am more sophisticated, wittier and a more considerate lover than the slubberdegullions that form the hive-mind known as the Writer's Guild.

A walking clock?

"I was furious when she left, because she was the best pussy I ever had."

That's much better than my solution of building a huge wall.
