relegated to the pages of comedic history as a pathetic wannabe, a sad,
laughable little man.
If ketchup boy ever runs again I can hear it now:
"its seared in my brain.........christmas going up the Missisippi river into
new Orleans............"

This time thoiugh technology has advanced to where he can have someone tail

tech 8MM.
