Would that be uplifting some toxic metal? I suspect ironclad 
students of Sla Ziz are high-temperaturely annealed against 
corrosion by his roaring furnace -- what a howler. Can they 
make sounds swell as he berates? His slumbering after-dinner 
belches, snoring contrapuntally, are astounding. The man's a 
calliope, eyes open or closed.
