He speech is slurred and he looks stoned, I’m also confident he wouldn’t hang out with David Bowie. Anthony Hopkins + Time Machine = Correct Ozymandias. On the drive into work, I sneezed so hard I had a nose bleed and while I was pretty quick with the paper towel cork some of sanguine nasal fire hose got on my shirt.
