      You’ll have to find the defaced version on your own.

          I never claimed it would be difficult; I just stated that I wasn’t going to find it for you.

          And actually, there are defaced versions, with one version much more indisputably awesome than the rest. If you see it, you’ll know what I mean.

          Sigh, I miss SMUT WITHOUT WARNING.

    Are Walky and Sal the only native Hoosiers here or do the others just not watch TV? Those Indiana Beach were kind of ubiquitous in my childhood.

      He was a threat because they didn’t know he was. It wouldn’t be very much of a fight for him to take on this group directly. Sarah, Sal, and sober Joyce? I’d think any one of them could take him down; all three with Walky and Dorothy there? He’s a non-threat.
