Red Bull, yum, gulp

This is what "Red Bull," the taurine energy drink,

looks like in its native environment. Before it

was re-packaged for Yankee yuppie overachievers,

it was a Thai patent medicine.

I guess it should go without saying that I drank this.

Then, at about 1 AM, I was still staring, rigid

and grainy-eyed, at Bollywood satellite videos.

A rare Warren Ellis moment from "Beyond the Beyond"

there.
