The Sell

Bootsy doesn’t need much in life. Which works out pretty well as he doesn’t have much in life. Hell, he barely has a life, but then how much of a life can a 400lb self destructive alcoholic Elk lead stuck in the mountains? To be honest it more or less boils down to a colour TV & a bottle of gin. Which isn’t so bad. Apart from the fact that an approaching thunderstorm over his Appalachian mountain home is fiddling with the reception on his precious television set (not to mention ruining the audio experience). As if this wasn’t trauma enough it's also right in the middle of Bootsy’s favorite cinematic adventure; Victor Fleming’s 1939 magnum opus Gone With The Wind. Will Bootsy be able to fix the signal in time to find out if that dashing gentleman from Charleston Rhett Butler gives a damn? Can his meager supplies of gin & bourbon last the epic 224 minute running time? More importantly can his liver?
