High Purr Billy Biography Sketch Front Tuss Piece

A written account (that incorporates some self directed hyperbole) of this veritable stranger now appears before your screen. Soon after reading this message, the neighbors might discern a blood curdling series of (hyena-like) shrieking screams. No worry. That would be the mating call of the hairy Harris mama bear. Ready! Set! Click! A scary reflection greets me whenever I summon up enough steely courage to take a sneak peek into the mirror. Before spider lines start to appear across the shiny surface and subsequent cracks and fissures dissolve the glassy surface these deux hazel colored, myopic be spectacled eyes quickly absorb a most frightful countenance and visage. That near legendary and trademark feature of longish, wavy and brown straggly hair seems to fill the entire view. Hidden among avant garde rhapsodic bohemian, Cro-Magnon, Neolithic, non-every-man style of un-styled non dread full locks (interspersed with silver follicles indicative of acquired worry fighting off garden variety prehistoric creature) can be discerned a brutish, nasty and short proto-human with high forehead, which allows, enables and provides more skin surface to bang against wall when frustrated.
