[Michael Bailey]

seriously?  you guys didt'n like Holden Caulfield?

holy Cow, I found that book on my folks's shelf in like, hmmm, 1965 or 6 and
it was pretty much the best book I read till _Vineland_

Edgar Marsala's fart during the speech?

the funeral director, "whenever he's in trouble he just asks
Jesus to send him a few stiffs"

the military boyfriend of one of Holden's girl chums: "His name was
Commander Blop or something,
he was one of those guys who thinks he has to grab your hand really
hard when he shakes hands"

Hazle Weatherfield?

"me and Stradlater just had a little goddam tiff"

"I'm the little old goddam Governor's son, and I was born to dance"

"Hey, listen, I'll come over Christmas Eve, okay?  Trimma goddam tree"
