I think the only thing that could make that situation worse would be if
your first name or nickname was "Skip", making you "Skip Pitfapkin".
It's like the name you would give a "napkin" specially meant for wiping
your "pits" after you've just completed an energetic bout of "fapping".
I mention this only because I happened to notice that the absolute final
credit in the superlative, criminally underappreciated 1987 psycho-thriller
"White of the Eye" is the actor Clyde Pitfapkin, who played "the
Hairdresser" in a single, but pivotal (by which I mean superfluous) scene.
And I bring it up HERE only because of our man's long history of employing
gonzo nomenclature. Do y'all think this one would pass muster?
PS - If you haven't seen it, try to get a hold of a copy. It's currently
streaming on SHUDDER.com, and it's pretty much an American Giallo.
Extremely stylish, bizarre and compelling. But hey, with Donald Cammell (he
of "Performance" and "Demon Seed") directing, you know it's at LEAST gonna
be interesting!
Cheers!
yer old pal Jerky
