Moby Dick

[LittleJerry92]

You mean the drum sticks or his chain?

 

[Old Thunder]

I can compare it to nothing but a large door mat, ornamented at the edges with little tinkling rags something like the stained porcupine quills round an Indian moccasin.

 

[Old Thunder]

There was a hole or slit in the middle of this mat, as you see the same in South American ponchos.

Feeling pretty defeated right now. This Moby Dick thread has become a kind of therapy.

 

[Old Thunder]

But could it be possible that any sober harpooner would get into a door mat, and parade the streets of any Christian town in that sort of guise?

 

[Old Thunder]

I put it on, to try it, and it weighed me down like a hamper, being uncommonly shaggy and tick, and I thought a little damp, as though this mysterious harpooner had been wearing it of a rainy day.

Again - really glad y'all are enjoying this!

 

[Old Thunder]

I went up in it to a bit of glass stuck against the wall, and I never saw such a sight in my life.

 

[Old Thunder]

I tore myself out of it in such a hurry that I gave myself a kink in the neck.

 

[Old Thunder]

I sat down on the side of the bed, and commenced thinking about this head-peddling harpooner, and his door mat.

 

[Old Thunder]

After thinking some time on the bed-side, I got up and took off my monkey-jacket, and then stood in the middle of the room thinking.
