...SHEEP WERE unhappy, and they baaaaed loudly, so Derek the Duck said he would establish the ACSR--the animals' committee to study rocks--and he would refer their complaints to the new body. So the ACSR met, and decided that the Aparkside system was indeed bad, and announced that someone, somewhere, somehow should immediately do something about it, or at least talk about it.
