    midwinter's prosaic and verse obsession is and has always been prostitution. this comes in no small part from the well accepted and fully documented fact that midwinter was born not to one, not two, but three whores in the redlight district of a sleepy southern town. this modern medical miracle, if you can withstand that much alliteration, would have made him an instantaneous international icon of the late twentieth century sexual revolution and modern science, of course, if it weren't for Nixon eating that Vietnamese eight-month-old on live TV on midwinter's brithday. his intellectual raison d'etre being so defined from birth makes his inexhaustible pursuit of all things ladies of the night more noble than first blush would indicate.

    It was only technically three. Two were conjoined twins, so it's sort of a crap shoot how you count them.

    oh stop being so modest. don't forget that your Siamese mothers were the first reported case of fraternal conjoined twins -- your birth is a profound testament to how screwed up nature can be.

    So gods saviour for mankind is to send his sun through the immaculate conception of the siamese twin crack whore that is also known as Midwinters mom.
