There was this black-curry backwards-cap buckaroo there named Vimook — he was a friend of Courtney’s, and she done introduce Thumper and Vimook before meeting up with her females. Thumper ain’t cotton to him from moment one, him with his basket of yos and bros and a bitty-titty beard like he thought he was handsome. Maybe he was. He was in good shape anyway. He said he “played squash”. Thumper done ate squash, but he don’t know what it meant to play it. Thumper don’t play with his food.
