Kingsman - smarten up.

I've had this comment carved onto a granite slab which has been erected at a windswept crossroads, so that it can endure through the ages.

I'm hoping it will just be an endless queue of slumming it B listers who each have time to pull on their funny outfit and spit out a zinger for the most bro-ish possible nerds to cheer at, before the next one in line punches them out the way.
