"I was almost crushed by a hippopotagoth at the Sisters of Mercy show the other night. The dude probably weighed 350."

"Lost in yet another 'Sweet Dreams' remix, I was suddenly surrounded by a pod of hippopotagoths, their busts heaving, their darkened eyes hungry and their pale, meaty calves too large for everyday lace-up boots. Were they after me in my tattered, frilled shirt and black leather pants, or were they driven by delusions that I had hidden Twinkies about my person?"
