Vrapiknuck Teaser
A contortionist, and part-time bellydancer, who communicates primarily by the awe-inspiring twists and gyrations of his elongated torso, Vrapiknuck (Thai for "human knot") has been a secret, which until now, could be enjoyed only by the tourists who ventured to sin-city Bangkok. But thanks to Lars Blackshoe's Circus of Magic and Wonder, Vrap has captured national attention; though there is no word yet as to whether Vrap will sign on. "I don't see how he'll fare in America," asserts an English expatriate living in Bangkok. "His contortionism enables him to communicate to others, but his body can only mirror the twisted characters which comprise the Thai language. Unless he learns English, he'll have nothing to say, and, consequently, no reason to distort his body like he does. Besides, he's witty in a Thai way and the Thai bon mots and witticisms he uses would never translate very well over there." As yet, there is no explanation for either Vrap's peculiar behavior or for his inexplicably humanoid appearance. Blackshoe-aphiles have linked Vrap to Dingboit's experiments on the elasticity of rubber; but that is mere conjecture. But if the Vrap-credited assertion that "I am no more interesting than the questions people ask of me," be true, then Vrap is an interesting creature indeed.
