"Now Mr. Shaggles, I'm going to dress you up in this miniature tuxedo I took of of my sister's Goin' Out Tonight Ken (TM) doll, and then I'm going to strap you to a 1/25th-scale mock-up of the table in Gold Finger made out of popsicle sticks. Then, I will dismember you with this high-powered, laser engraving printer. Any objections? No? (Hamster beginning to visible cry) Excellent."
