The beast is ugly. Baked beast is tastier than fried beast. Beasts are not our entertainers but they maybe clowns of tomorrow. Beasts hate watching Telly. Beasts are sold on eBay for cheap. Beasts don't know how to play poker. Beasts don't lie unless you want them to. Speaking of Beasts I read in papers that a one-legged horse who last year was married to a colored man is going to give birth to their first baby. Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice and she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast, they stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast.

Seep

I was painting the town red, shooting the breeze & disclosing the skeleton in the closet but all of a sudden while going to pieces a soul-searching question popped into my mind: Do I take after Brad Pitt? I was taking pains to find the answer & honestly I couldn't even tell things apart. However through thick & thin, asking the wet blanket inside me, I finally realized that No, I don't take after Brad Pitt. Then I repeatedly shouted out loud: Yay, not against the grain.

Nights of Cabiria

Last Friday I had a date with this never-met girl Alice in "Nights of Cabiria" restaurant in south Benolli opposite the Royal Theatre. She didn't come. I waited like an hour for her to come but she never showed up. I was about to leave the place that one of the waiters came up to my table & gave me a piece of paper. It was form Alice. There were just 3 words on the paper: "Come, Fuck, Hard". I knew where she lived so I wrote her address overleaf the paper. Then called the same waiter & whispered these 3 words in her ears: " Go, Have, Fun" & gave him back the paper. Quickly afterwards got myself a taxi & left the restaurant straightaway for the local Airport. I was badly in need of a coffee.

Labnetore Brewery

In the dark and miserable depths of Labnetore, I went down to the brewery looking for lager. Miles and more miles and yet more away, Daren and Lorna spent hours together making mad sexual positions on my kitchen floor. I found none.

Plague

Once upon a time in a land of magic and fairy dust there lived a crazy old man with a quantum sort of Kane. Simultaneously interesting and boring, wave and particle, constructing and destructing, alive and dead, male and female that many thought is stylish and very trendy but which is actually incredibly bloody, vicious, violent and Painful yet restrained fury with discharges of pony semen; unsurprisingly gorgeous people avoided him like the plague, fearing rejection maybe so he -the crazy old man I mean- decided to use the rope to end his life.
