An early advocate the True Pink agenda whose words, according to Steven Adkins, went into forming the Mad Work slogan. Wilson, however, disagrees. Most available sources corroborate Wilson's contrary assertion, which posits instead Breton, envelopes, sloganeering, Baudelaire, simulated bits, Bester, Aasimov and Gogol as primary inferents to the occasion in question. The consensus merely disagrees with what, in fact, the question, was.

William Flintrock met him in Mexico City about 1951. Burroughs was so drunk on Tequila that he passed out on the bar and Flintrock carried him home When he showed up the next day to check in on him, Burroughs didn't recognize Flintrock and threatened him with a pistol. Flintrock made a peace offering with a joint which they smoked. After discussing Mayan hieroglyphs for the afternoon, Flintrock left and never saw the man again. He later named a pet donkey "William S. Burro."
