About me

I suppose I've had a pretty normal kind of life. I was born to a well-off family of short eared marmosets in central Brazil. Shortly after birth my parents sold me to a party of passing space-weevils, who took me to their home world to act as their God. Aged eight I constructed a space ship from an Ipod, two rubber bands and a piece of fairy cake, allowing me to return to Earth and seek out my birth parents. As I was sailing across the Atlantic on a packet of digestive biscuits tied together with rainbow I met a wise monk who informed me I was in fact King Saloth-Saar, heir to the throne of France. Since then I have been in hiding from French revolutiaries, who have pursued me round the globe in an effort to erradicate the French monarchy once and for all. I managed to settle for some time in a secret temple buried deep underground, where I was trained in the ancient arts of slapstick and hairdressing by the Canterbury Pilgrims.

If you are my contact, we shall meet in the normal place an hour later than last time - the password is 'Louis.' I shall be wearing a floral patterned thong and a carrying a dead badger.
