I went out on the town this evening with Gargantua and Pantagruel and a guy named Romani; what a fuck of a time we had. We drank our swill of Sherry and Port, ate like fucking swine, and drove a rickshaw into a confectioner’s window. We surely expected to be tarred and feathered, boiled in oil and cast into Dante’s inferno; but we made a swift getaway, me on the back on Gargantua, Romani riding on the coattails of Pantagruel, all four of us laughing like fucking foolscaps on PCP. What a fucking night indeed.
