One Man's Breakfast Is Another Man's Funeral

Bongwater - Double Bummer + Breaking No New Ground (1989)

Strong currents nibbled at the giant's toes as he swam the inland ocean, more a large lake from his perspective, crossing from his gargantuan castle home that rose straight from the sea on a thousand pillars of eroded limestone. He hoped to reach land within the half-hour, curious to know how the world had changed during his several millenia-long nap. Sniffing at the air, he could just taste the scent of those tiny two-legged appetizers he liked so much. At least they were still around, he thought to himself. And it was almost time for brunch...

Hey Monkey,

Thanks for letting me know about your Cope shares - you are truly a God. In fact, are you related to King Monkey, minor deity and friend of Sandy, Pigsy and Fish? (not to mention Tripitaka the androgynous ladyboy priest person)

If only! I'm just a lowly monkey with an extraordinary hoarding instinct. I have more Cope to share, but it'll be awhile. I've got a week of stuff queued up already.
