January 24, 1994

S— had a psychotic older brother. His nickname for S— was “Shithead”, and his favorite leisure time activity was to get a carving knife from the kitchen, pin S— to the floor, hold the knife to his throat, and keep him there like that for maybe fifteen or twenty minutes, usually with Pink Floyd blaring in the background. While this was going on I would sit and play “Cosmic Avenger” on the family TRS-80.
