Self-garkeling nano-sized timplegrots

Rechargable, of course!

These timplegrots are clearly superior (due to their very, very compact size) and they completely remove the need for regular, manually-intensive garkeling.

Which leaves just two questions: What's a timplegrot, and how do you garkle one?

I'd hoped you had already filled in the blanks.

You see, I suspect you often click on the link-title of a half- baked treat with an idea in mind of what the description will hold. This 'half-heard genius' can be a great source of inspiration, leading the reader to conjure up even further improvements or completely different interpretations from the same title.

So the idea, if you'll indulge me, is this here meta-idea. Full to the brim with the free association that comes with a 100% meaning-free title, devoid of meaty description content: ripe for your synapses to ponder the world afresh, from the eyes of a timplenovice, garkeling their first noid.

Your milage may vary.

       What I usually say.

       I'm seeking clarity in my life. I came here, and didin't find it. Woe is me.

       You title actually implies,* selfie blow jobs on tiny, dirty ukuleles.* I used Urban Dictionary.

       //devoid of meaty description content//   

       Right. We got enough of that at the Meat Me At idea.

       Leaves more than just two questions, in fact.

       //I'm seeking clarity in my life. I came here, and didn't find it. Woe is me.//   

       I share your anguish. Rather like arriving at a bar mitzvah only to discover they're inexplicably out of pork scratchings.

       Proper Engagement is to leave 50% blank. Leave something for the audience to want to fill in! Bait, not a full meal.   

       However, 95% blank is too small a bait. More like a scent of an ant's fart. So, nope, sorry. Get some real bait in here for the bun.

       Can I just point out that, if you had ever lived in Norfolk, you would know what "garkelling" (note spelling) means, and would never contemplate using the phrase "self-garkel[l]ing".
