    I still love that Byron’s choice of outfit when he’s not kicking ass is pyjamas with a pair of wellies.

    Really, everybody else in the building is dressed to the nines, and he’s all “Whatever dude, jammies are super-comfortable.”

    Hit those books! They won’t make a folio after you break their spines and make ’em shake like a leaf! Show them no quarto, and bind them to your will!

    By applying the workings of the ancient volumes of the beginning of time, the advance of the human race, and Latin, this should be a walk in the park.
