When did Billy give his last fuck? He did not enter this world overladen with fucks, by nature of temperament, and he distributed them judiciously, but he is now out of fucks and has been for a long time.
There was a last one, there had to be. Fucks are finite, and your supply depletes until you have one left; then, none. Did Billy know that was his last fuck? If so, did he use it wisely? I hope not, because not giving a fuck about your last fuck is a wonderful way to begin not giving a fuck in general.
Mickey still has fucks; he’ll never run out. Look at him back there, giving fucks with all his might.
Also:
OTOH Billy is wearing a nice Dead shirt, while Mickey is not.
Under Armour make Dead shirts apparently….
Apparently not the first time.
Good post, clever development, and nice owl meme. But what I really want to know is “how do you really pronounce those two Greek islands, and how can you tell that’s right?” Been wondering for a while, too.
Billy still had plenty of fucks in ’89. I gotta say I think he thought he was out of fucks late 92 early 93 only to find out he still had one august 95.
Clearly, it was before he wrote his book.
