For some reason this reminded me of when we had to peer review papers in English class in HS. As a prank, this guy wrote a graphic and horribly dark erotica with the intention of getting some random student to read it, but we had an odd number of students in class that day and the teacher ended up with his paper.

For real though, If I came across this after grading a bunch of papers, I would still give it an F but I would love every moment of reading it.

Wouldn't even reach for the whiskey.

“King Koopa's attack on the Mushroom Kingdom was more decisive for its fate than any other event… since the earliest recorded beginnings of the franchise.

It was my recollection of Bowser that broke into my dogmatic slumber.”
