Bongos.
I am standing on the porch, on a pitch black night. A particularly insidious and near silent fart squeeks past my buttcheeks, masking the natural fragrances of the nearby jungle. It is about 35 degrees Celsius, so about 308 Kelvin, and a warm and humid wind blows in from the east. I just finished eating a magic brownie, and am now sipping a chotonicte moo-moo and smoking a hooka.
Across the estate stands the edge of the jungle. You see, when I acquired the estate as my God-given birthright, I took responsibility for the slash-and-burn operations, and jungles in this part of Africa are serious affairs. The one that starts at the end of the estate extends for many hundreds of miles, and the canopy is over 40 majestic feet high. The ecosystem it contains thrives in its complexity, richness, and variety - it has probably been there for a million years.
This summer, my 30-something brother took a train down here to help me extend our holdings, and we rampaged around the jungle like Firestar and the huge dragon at the end of "How to Train your Dragon". No, not like butterflies. It was not a breathtaking display of grace. It reminded me of an episode of Spiderman where Iceman was put to sleep in a cage over a live volcano, and Spiderman and Firestar were helpless until a huge beast or Hunter knocked their cages down and they burst open and beat all the bad guys up and set everything on fire. It was not clear on account of being a kid's show, but I am sure there were a lot of burning carcasses and screaming women and children scattered all over the landscape. Yeah. No. We rampaged across the jungle ecosystem and villages like the dragon, and a very bad, male Firestar. Anyway, it was a good day, totally exhausting, and the end result was a detoniculated field of hot ash ready for tobacco planting.
I am not wearing any pants, but am wearing a perforated wife-beater, a pirate belt, and a Confederate bandana. I could have held out forever but need to rummage the ruins in search of more marshmallows.
