Sufficient Champagne

delgrosso asked: So, in "The Education of Henry Adams", do you think the passage about his sister's suicide is pretty much the best depiction of death-by-tetanus EVAR, or do you have a better example? Also, what kind of bourbon are you drinking? I am aware that this technically counts as two questions, so shut it.

As the celebratory post-regatta yacht drifts [I literally unintentionally pulled up my sleeves at this moment as I tried to think of adjectivedverbs but gave up and still settled on] bloated, palely towards a lonely point on the impossible, impassible horizon, a school [or whatever more-than-one-thing thing, you fucker] of beluga sturgeon flits across its bow BEFORE LITERALLY JUST FUCKING EXPLODING IN THE VAGINA. THE FISH-VAGINA. I MEAN IT. BOOM. WHO KNOWS, GLOBAL WARMING OR SOME SHIT, RIGHT. The drifting yacht is showered in the choicest beluga caviar, enough to feed armies, nations of the fattenedthinnenedfattenedthinnenedfattenedagain—if only they could do more than bash their faces against it—if only they could shift their lower upper-New-England jaws to chew.

P.S. Maker’s Mark, the “mark” part marking the place where what I could swallow and what I could afford perfectly intersected.
