The Great Brain (2006)
“She delighted in the fact that Mick was thicker than a bucket of crunchy peanut butter and enjoyed the colourful comparisons made between her and entirely thick Mick.
People couldn’t believe they were related. Kim caned her exams, swooped up the academic awards and completed her homework standing on her head – not easy for a zombie, whose body parts tend to fall off without warning. Mick failed every exam put in front of him and couldn’t even spell his name correctly on the assessment paper. Hi...s brainpan was more like a dustpan.
Kim loved it.
So, when she came to Mick offering assistance with his bet, he was well dubious. Dubious? He was as suss as a donkey with corduroy ears. Why would Kim help him? She ridiculed him, mocked him, derided and disparaged him. She made a fool of him in front of her friends. She wrote rude (albeit true) things about him on the girls’ toilet walls. She revelled in his dimwittedness like a hound revels in rubbish.
So, yes, Mick was suss. Under typical circumstances Kim’s motives stank worse than a stuntman’s undies, but these circumstances were far from typical.MoreLess
