humiliating shell game

From Daniel Robert Epstein’s interview of Jonathan Ames for Suicide Girls:

Some stuff is in the book but I tended not to put down the real bad stuff. I’ve often said that it’s a little like a shell game. Like look at how honest I am and then people would let me off then secretly there is this other shit which is so painful and humiliating I can’t talk about it. The usual stuff like alcohol, drugs and pursuing sex.

Hmmmm…

Such pouring over that of the others leaves nothing for even a once over your own
shamespell.
