...Davy is half octopus, half man, and his crew seems to have been recruited from the Star Wars cantina of yore, though they have even worse skin problems and are covered with the kind of slime that has recently become fashionable among the villains in fantasy films.

...first boy I ever dated kissed with a soggy open mouth...I felt as if I were being forced to lick the side of a stagnant well.
