OH, forgot about Zoyd. He has a short eye too. How is he
different from Brock Vond?

Why does he wear a dress and that long hippy hair? Get a
hair cut you freak! He's Ronald Ray Guns hippy, returned
from the repressed. Gets tricky, but it can be worked out.
Does his daughter wear the dress he gives her? What about
Frenesi's dress, her mom's wedding dress? Keeps turning,
twisting. Hold on dear reader, the worst are filled with
passionate intensity, and the best lack all conviction.
What's all this about popping cherrys? Keep those legs
closed teen bimbo. Ha, ha, and here comes a Ronald Ray Gun
child, with his hand to ear, playing TV family. What about
Prairie's friend, the mall rat, doesn't her step daddy have
a thing for her little pussy?
