"madnessnearallied" is not, sadly, an actual individual, but a poetry-producing mechanized device consisting of an amped-up Jerkymaster 2000 wired into a Commodore 64, and there may be bits and pieces of a 60's vintage electric football game in there somewhere as well. We sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have engendered.
