"Infinite" snippets

Excerpts from Infinite Jest (p. 824):
The even newer new guy now that's come in to take Chandler Foss's spot's name is Dave K. and is one grim story to behold, Thrust assures him, a junior executive guy at ATHSCME Air Displacement, and upscale guy with a picket house and kids and a worried wife with tall hair, who this Dave K.'s bottom was he drank a half liter of Cuerva at some ATHSCME Interdependence Day office party and everything like that and got in some insane drunken limbo-dance challenge with a rival executive and tried to like limbo under a desk or chair or something insanely low, and got his spine all fucked up in a limbo-lock, maybe permanently: so the newest guy scuttles around the Ennet House living room like a crab, his scalp brushing the floor and his knees trembling with effort.
