the question is (and axe him this, will you?), can your guy make a "fake" that
looks as "good" (or, if you prefer the technical term, "crappy") as this sorry

seems to me, i donno, that it is damnéd near as difficult to convincingly
"fake" a breathtakingly mediocre style as it is to convincingly "fake" a
