"Gluttony of the Sweets, the Sugars, the Deadly Apples, melting in the mouth, transmuting teeth and gristle and bone into a toothsome sweetmeat. One taste, and the deadly process is activated: digestive juices concentrate and churn, eating the body away, leaving the pearly cream testicles, the crispy penis that yields with sweet reluctant delay and the quintessence of delight residing in the juice of the Adam's Apple dissolves to ingest the living brain, quivering like a great oyster, from the softened skull . . . oh! oh! La la la . . . slurp . . . blub . . ." - William S. Burroughs (1992)
