Sprout Mask Replica - Paperback - 1997

His greatgreat grandfather died at the Battle of Little Big Horn. He wasnt with Custer though. He was holding a sproutbake and tent meeting in the field next door and went over to complain about the noise. His greatgrandfather also a sprout farmer and man of the cloth always wore weighted shoes while in the pulpit, to avoid any embarrassing levitations during moments of extreme rapture. His grandfather lay precher, large sideburns, taste for sprouts spoke only in rhyming couplets to please the ghost of his dead wife and owned a pig called Belshazzar that dined exclusively upon the aforementioned vegetables and did strange things on the back parlour wall. His father an elder in the Sacred Order of the Golden Sprout practised bodymodification in an attempt to win a bet with his brother a monk that he could shin up the inside of a drainpipe.And there was him. And he was weird. Can this be Robert Rankins autobiography? He swears that it isnt, but as a selfconfessed teller of tall tales, whoever is going to believe him?
