The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

New language: Sir Latin

The usual rules for changing standard English into Sir Latin are as follows:
In words that begin with consonant sounds, the initial consonant or consonant cluster is moved to the end of the word, and "sir" is added, as in the following examples:
  • beast → east-b-sir
  • dough → ough-d-sir
  • happy → appy-h-sir
  • question → estion-qu-sir
  • star → ar-st-sir
  • three → ee-thr-sir
In words that begin with vowel sounds or silent consonants, the syllable "sir" is added to the end of the word. In some dialects, to aid in pronunciation, an extra vowel is added to the beginning of the suffix; for instance, eagle could yield eagle-a-sir, eagle-i-sir, or eagle-u-usir.
.
The value of Sir Latin is parents can use it to answer their kids when they don't want them to understand what is going on so will stop asking.
.
For example a young adult may say: "Can I have some money to get a new truck?"
.
The parent wants to say: "
Why do you need a new truck. Do you not know about global warming?". A smart parent would say: "Hy-w-sir o-d-sir ou-y-sir eed-n-sir a-sir ew-n-sir uck-tr-sir. O-d-sir ou-y-sir ot-n-sir ow-kn-sir bout-a-sir obal-gl-sir arming-w-sir" in Sir Latin. The end result would be the young adult would say "you are impossible" and stop bugging the parents.
