The Artist
He swallowed ten white mice in five minutes the audience didn't applaud. He disrobed and twisted himself into yoga positions sucked his own dick the audience didn't cheer. He pulled out a sword to disembowel himself exposing his guts and liver the audience weren't terrified. In the end, he gave up. O, only that and it's already dusk? I still don't have a lover and am living in the most magnificent and desolate city on earth.
