Kim recruits a band of flamboyant and picturesque outlaws, called the Wild Fruits. There is the Crying Gun, who breaks into tears at the sight of his opponent.
“What’s the matter, somebody take your lollipop?”
“Oh señor, I am sorry for you.…”
And the Priest, who goes into a gunfight giving his adversaries the last rites. And the Blind Gun, who zeroes in with bat squeaks. And the famous Shittin’ Sheriff, turned outlaw. At the sight of his opponent he turns green with fear and sometimes loses control of his bowels. Well, there’s an old adage in show biz: the worse the stage fright, the better the performance.
Kim trains his men to identify themselves with death. He takes some rookie guns out to a dead horse rotting in the sun, eviscerated by vultures. Kim points to the horse, steaming there in the noonday heat.
“All right, roll in it.”
“WHAT?”
“Roll in it like dogs of war. Get the stink of death into your chaps and your boots and your guns and your hair.”
Most of us puked at first, but we got used to it, and vultures followed us around hopefully. We always ride into town with the wind behind us, a wheeling cloud of vultures overhead, beaks snapping. The townspeople gag and retch:
“My God, what’s that stink?”
”It’s the stink of death, citizens.”
William S. Burroughs, The Place of Dead Roads
