Sorry. It's VERNE who calling himself a worm these days. I apologize for the confusion. Curiously, I'd see a Cheshire Cat as the opposite of a slug in many ways. The cat is composed of almost pure attitude, of a snarky dollop of there-but-not-there hipster vibe plucked from the wispy string of a ghost's bass; it leaves in its wake a floating smile that embodies an Oscar Wilde-like impudence and insolence, but an absence of solidity. But while the cat leaves behind only facial features and what they symbolize, a slug -- from what I remember observing in the Park as a kid -- seems to prefer to withdraw its facial features and become pure substance. Anyway, no insult intended. Clearly, since Verne is the self-proclaimed worm, I'm addressing the wrong pilgrim. Might be time for me to take one last great hit of the morphine and see where it takes me. However, if you do feel the urge to become more of a hookah-smoking caterpillar and take up your waterpipe for some Dada-esque banter, give me a call, boyo. Ta. Atti the batty
