You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Doug does NOT look like I pictured him (I'm assuming that's Doug down front with the giant lizardy ashleysaurus). Steve looks exactly like I pictured him (the molotov cocktails help).

He's always kind of been the family fogey, though, so it doesn't make me feel old really--kind of wonder where he gets it. don't know if it's just our different spot in the '70s, my being born on a Riverside hellmouth, or that he really is closer to having a defined(well, I wanna say "Slot", but that sounds like I'm full-on "Little Boxes" with him, and not exactly, right?)
