A magistrate who issues poetic licenses to citizens, and also decides issues/disputes related to said poetic practices.
Poetic justice will likely view your text-composing "liberties" a lot more favorably if you always thoroughly document your literary sources and clearly explain the logic/reasoning behind your unorthodox text-composing practices.

Get the poetic justicemug. As gaunt and washed-up as da famous singer and actor looks now, I wonder if he was formerly such a hard-driving Jaggernaut dat he totally burned himself out long before his time!

Get the Jaggernautmug. Humorous term for someone's suddenly acquiring such a vast quantity of one or more desirable items that he feels like he's standing in the one single empty space in that child's "fifteen puzzle" sliding-tiles game, where you can only move one numbered block at a time... in other words, he's totally surrounded by enormous heaps of goodies, but he has absolutely zero “wiggle room” --- i.e., empty space in any direction --- to actually work with or process said newfound bounty. It'd be like if he’d meekly “asked around” to see if anyone had any scrap lumber, and then multitudes of people hastily converged on his property and generously heaped his entire yard so full of boards, beams, and plywood that he couldn't even walk out of his front door, or if a local home/business-owner who was “downsizing” had offered him an entire shed full of either huge bulging bags of returnables or pallets shrink-wrap-stacked to the ceiling with some of his favorite canned good or household items, but the building was so tightly crammed that there was only barely room to open the door a couple feet, thus preventing him from actually entering the shed and sorting through said windfall; in both cases he would be obliged to timidly "pick at the edges" of the mountain, tediously removing the items literally one-by-one.
Two classic examples of someone’s feeling “too rich to move” would be:
(1) if someone presented him with a huge 3-ring binder that was opened out flat, and the “presenter” had unthinkingly loaded BOTH “halves” of said binder with sheets “right up to the tops of the rings”, so that now the book’s unfortunate recipient could not actually turn any of the pages or even close the cover; he would therefore be obliged to procure another similar-sized binder and then carefully transfer half of the “overflowing” tome’s pages over into this second empty binder, so he could then peruse the work’s text a page at a time, or
(2) someone unfamiliar with how magnetic-tape players or film-projectors function had naively spliced two completely-filled reels of tape/film together, spindled the humongous spools onto a portable tape-deck or projector, and then proudly presented said “loaded-up ‘n’ ready” unit to another person, never realizing that said speechlessly-unnerved recipient would not be able to play said material "as-is", since there would literally be “nowhere for the strip of media to go” once it started rolling.

Get the too rich to movemug. Something you only need to maintain while you're in da slammer --- once you get released again, anything goes.
Once you get your imprisonment-sentence shortened considerably for good behavior, you can return to the street and then be just as bad as you please until you get busted again.

Get the good behaviormug. BYOB vs. MYOB
If you do the former when you go to a party, it may significantly reduce your abilities to do the latter with the guests at said party.

I don't drink and I have zero desire to either gossip or stick my inquisitive beak in where it doesn't belong, so I don't have any problem with "BYOB vs. MYOB" myself. Sometimes one or more others at a gathering I'm attending are not quite so discreet or inhibited when they get a little alcohol into them, however, and so they may "start in on me" about personal stuff in my life that is neither a problem for them nor even concerns them in any way, and so I hafta just quietly "make a hasty exit" before things get ugly.

Get the BYOB vs. MYOBmug. Tart law prosecution seems kinda pointless; I mean, wouldn't said baked goods have gone pretty stale --- and thus unpalatable --- by da time da Knave was hauled into court over da theft of dem??
