buttercup?

so i haven't heard from buttercup for a while. and it was beginning to worry me. buttercup was one of the trio who grew a tach and set off through africa braving wild animals, deadly diseases, and deep-heat. but since he returned to europe i haven't heard from him. so i asked pumpkin for an update. seems like buttercup is doing just fine:

"buttercup is still around and his usual self up to the same old same old. he announced to all that he is in fact a hermaphrodite and has a mexican male lover, who he has been seeing for some time now with thoughts of a family. he is partially blind in the one eye and suffers from narcolepsy, which is not a good combination. on good days he goes to work, on the bad days we see him wondering around masturbating in front of shop windows, squinting horribly and laughing hysterically. i get a call from the police once a week to come and pick up his unconscious unzipped self from outside java's coffee house. there is something about the coffee that sets off the narcolepsy. but not much has changed really, still nothing as exciting as when he went through his mid-life crisis."

ahhh. good old buttercup. a true gent. one of the very best.
