Venice is stinking hot. The heat gathers its legions, pounding away at the pasty skin of the tourists, assigning all to the red-tinged population of the sunburnt.
One man, lacking sanity and lucidity, remains in the open square, surrounded by cobblestones and canals. He challenges those that pass him by.
The stakes are high.
"Can any of you best me?' he taunts as they avoid him.
The prize is lovingly setup on a velvet cushion. Two small white tablets glisten in the Mediterranean sun.
Another enters the area he has roped off, removes his shoes and begins a stretching regime to rival an Olympian gymnast.
The mad one trembles - could this be the day? Is the challenger my nemesis?
They square off - one kick sends the champion against a wall, slumped in submission.
Bruce Lee crouches and takes the medicine. The pounding headache he's carried all day begins to subside.

ahahaha, did you know that in the autopsy they found his brain had swelled to almost twice its original size and weight? I may be exaggerating, it's been a while since I've read about Bruce. I do remember that the other element they found besides the pills was cannabis. Leading to some very silly doctor trying to pin his death on weed.
Tao of Jeet Kune Do is an interesting read, by the way.
=====================
His brain had swelled 13%, according to Wikipedia's article, which has references.
Wiki is often fucked up, but most of the article about Bruce agrees with more reliable sources.
Yes, that doctor you mentioned was an idiot. They brought in an expert who trashed the cannabis theory.

It was one that was supposed to be about his life or something. The Samurai guy was in a dream and possibly not robotic, but he did fuck shit up. I don't know, I was fucking caned when I saw it so it could be the Telly Tubbies for all I know.

Ha, that doesn't sound like any Bruce Lee flick I've seen, but I'm sure it's awesome.
I want to see the old Batman episodes where he plays a villain by the name of The Green Hornet. I think he was going to get a spin off with that character, but they didn't think a Chink would do well as a main character, so he went back to China for his now famous Kung Fu films.

By the way, in another projected hour and twenty minutes, you'll be the proud owner of two Why? EPs and another LP.
Oaklandazulasylum was first LP.

Huh, I always thought he'd been killed by some kind of mental robotic Samurai in a film I saw once.

Anyways, he fell asleep and never woke up as I recall. I wonder if he really had a headache, or was just smoking and popping pills, as I'm sure you know can be enjoyable if your brain doesn't swell up and kill you.
Anyways, that's the only reason to positively rate this.

Wait, and this is going to sound dense as fuck, did he die because of some kind of asprin related thing?

Equagesic, if anyone cares, which apparently contains aspirin and a muscle relaxant.
My mistake.

I considering docking a point for it not actually being aspirin, then realized that would probably be the most ridiculous decision I would make all day.
