    He who studies to imitate the poet Pindar, O Julius, relies on
    artificial wings fastened on with wax, and is sure to give his
    name to a glassy sea.
    [Lat., Pindarum quisquis studet aemulari,
    Iule ceratis ope Daedalea
    Nititur pennis, vitreo daturus
    Nomina ponto.]

I used to make original snowmen, but it was time consuming, hard work. So I said, heck, this is crazy! Now I crank out crude imitations of what's already popular! It takes no time or thought, and most people don't care about the difference, anyway! And what good is originality if you can't crank it out?
