THE LIZARD’S VELVET HAND
Wanderers this morning came by,
Where did they go,
Graceful in the morning light,
To banner fair,
To follow you softly,
In the cold mountain air.
Jesse,
I don’t know what I have done
I’m turning myself into a demon.
I don’t know what I have done
I’m turning myself into a demon.*

“What?” Octavius said, looking at Henri oddly.
“Who dare they…” said Henri again,
“Yes, I heard you” he replied, looking down at his knife.
“So, is Don Stone Gratten’s step-father?” asked the King, chewing the sinews off a leg of lamb. “Or is Gratten Edie’s son?” He was asking his Mother the Queen of Montgomeriz with loud, urgent [...]
PRINCE HENRI: ‘DAYS OF ENNUI’ PART ONE: NERVOUS RACK OF LAMB
Prince Henri spent his days murderously close to ennui. He lay on the daybed. What do you want to do Henri? Choose. “NO!!” There wasn’t a thing he would touch which didn’t have weight. Every pen, glass of milk and shiny slink of a pillow was picked up with a kind of heavied elegance. He wasn’t [...]
MORE WANKY THINGS TO AVOID
# 6. T-shirts that say something.
Keep your thoughts to your head at LEAST when you walk down the street. I don’t want to be distracted from my mission down 2nd avenue by someone telling me about a) their wife (”ACCORDING TO MY WIFE I’M VERY HAPPY“) b) their heightened intellect (”JUST BECAUSE I DON’T CARE [...]

WANK OFF AND DIE: A List of Wanky Things Which I Don’t Like
We all know that you gotta be cool. But sometimes, things aren’t just uncool, they are wanky. In this day and age, when being uncool actually more often than not makes you cool, ‘wanky’ is what you DON’T want to be the most.
To be certain, wankiness is the condition of being pompous, pretentious, super lame [...]
