The details of my life are quite inconsequential. Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving lingerier from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanise, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he had invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons, in the spring we would make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds – pretty standard really. ibid. Dr Evil & Scott at counselling
