Don't you know Mǎkè Lǚtè is a quintessential Dutch name? Just like, 
just like, well, Dennis Gerritszoon for one, for two, or for three.

Any produce apart from perfect steel bars would be fine. Have you ever 
heard of this story how communist local leaders used to fool the 
great, almighty and omnipotent Chinese dictator into believing the 
smitheries in the farm yards produced the same quality steel as 
British and Japanese industries, leaving the omnipotant swimming 
champion to wonder why them British needed these big ass factories to 
produce the same steel that a Chinese peasant could produce from 
confiscated watches, plows and other metal products?

Photoshop is that program that all Chinese here have on their 
computers. When somebody apt at actually using it needs to process 
photos of females in skanky clothing he has takes photos of in his 
basement in a desolate apartment complex, he will often times tell 
them to wait several days because he still needs to PS them photos.
