Uuh huh - dis the place on dur net I on'y visit wid der metal bits all made shiny and be sure der colours all go toge'dr proper.

On some places dey say - you troll, go away - which is bad and cru'll when I just ask a question 'cos I want to know - not my fault if dey not even as clever as me.

Oh yes, dis place make me think silicacious org'nisms on'y allowed if dey behave proper and scrape off der lichen, and maybe take der nail out of der club too. Like when yer aver'j troll goes to see bout joining der City Watch in Ankh Morpork - if you don't look right to Mister Vimes, the Duke, you got no chance. He looks harder though, deeper 'n most.

And dat Mister Shine - him diamond.

Like der mods, dey is carbon based, but carbon can be der best, sumtimes.
