Marvin hadn't washed his hair now for three months consecutively. It wasn't good. Other things too. His mouth was an open anus. His nether-regions were swampy; New Orleans, perhaps. And yet, he couldn't put his finger on exactly what event had sucked him into this whirlpool of bad hygiene. He felt, he felt like a, like he hadn't really lived in a while. LIVED, god damn it! He was a corpse! Like when the hair and fingernail cells are still growing and nobody gives you a pedicure or bothers to shave you.

Maybe the key was to get out a little, see the world. He tried to. Nope, the lid wasn't budging. He couldn't even lift his hands, come to think of it. Or open his eyes! What the fuck! It was weird - like being on really really weird drugs. He was literally a corpse. No really, Marvin was a CORPSE. This is a dead guy I'm talking about. I'm not being metaphorical here. He's DEAD. Just MOVE ON.

12/8/2003 Phony Millions: How can he have 'breath' if he's dead?
12/20/2003 Ewan Snow: Benny, I find it quite lame that you changed the first line to address the criticism below about "forgetting." Really, I think you can do better than this.
12/20/2003 qualcomm (4): i must say that although this short is dumb as shit, it still makes me laugh. LOL!
12/21/2003 Benny Maniacs: Hey, what can I say. Feldspeare was right.

05/19/2004 Mr. Joshua (5): I like coming back to this one when I'm feeling blue.
05/19/2004 Mr. Joshua: Incidentally, this is not one of those times when I'm feeling blue.
