i enlisted the help of a little magical gnome that kicks me in the gnards when he sees me overusing my phone
Oh, nice. Did you go through a recruitment agency or is there some sort of ritual you can use?
oh no he just showed up one day and started kicking me i dont really understand why but we managed to come to an agreement
He seems surprisingly reasonable despite the penchant for abrupt and unprompted violence
A gnard-kicking gnome is definitely a Pratchett character.
