Bob marley Quote by Neil Gaiman

“Ruislip, the Fop’s opponent, looked like the kind of dream one might have if one fell asleep watching sumo wrestling on the television with a Bob Marley record playing in the background. He was a huge Rastafarian who looked like nothing so much as an obese and enormous baby.” quote by Neil Gaiman
