Now, all you have to do to understand "bogleg" is to try to make good, solid sense out of the material
presented above, along with the word "mure," by mixing and matching elements from parts 2a and 2b and
at least one instance of the added word, "mure." Once you have tried several times and come up with
some interesting concepts that probably make very little sense, you can sit back, scratch your head,
and just go, "Uhh, ... bogleg." Now, consider the twisted mass your brain has become on a grand
scale, and you may be within a light-year of the concept described by adding part 1 to the
relatively simple "bogleg." This further complicated notion is known as "Almighty Bogleg."
