I was thinking “brotherfucker” before I even finished reading the sentence. Not the least surprised that you had it covered!

You Park Slope Grande Dames are all the same: red velvet in the living room, licentious punks in the attic.

The magic of this delirious scene is the VERY relatable and VIVID detail!! Just reading it gave me a hangover. Lol

This just about LOL-ed me:

“...there was a filthy little punk rocker with a mohawk sleeping on my red velvet couch, upright, fully clothed.

“‘Hey!’ I yelled.”

Don’t know if it’s the “Withnail and I” scene itself or the punctuation’s rhythm. “Hey!” -- as if at a dog snatching food off a counter.

A boxer who runs after you to snipe that you’re the incarnation of Miss Havisham? It’s like catching my brutish, surreptitiously nose-picking mechanic out behind his garage in climactic coitus with a goat, then having him scuttle after me, pants around his ankles, to hiss, “You’re just like a Schlegel girl, with your beastly pretensions to art. Howards End shall never be yours!”

You dodged a bullet with ol’ Bluto, Wilson. Whull.

Kills me that his 'solid burn' struck you silent! Miss Havisham is the last person you remind me of, though. He was just embarrassed and grabbing at straws.
