The true gentleman is subtly poised between an
        inner tact and an outer deference.

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind
is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention,
but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

"Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman
 she meets and then teams up with three complete stangers to kill again."

San Cristobal was full of hippies.  There were
way-back hippies growing gray, spreading out under their caftans, and
straining the buttons on their embroidered work shirts.  There were
new-hatched neohippies fumbling with the icons of the Sixties
wondering whether the peace symbol is supposed to be used mainly as a
nose stud or also as a pierced eyebrow ornament.  And there were
smelly European backpacker hippies, age indeterminate, telling the
locals, "Ich bin ein Vegan."
