Well, I am sure the Hepititus will do that to ya.

Long story short, I was a huge EK fan when I was a kid and I read all
his books and watched all his specials and had all his toys. Needless
to say my very first pin I ever owned(12 yrs. old) was an EK that I
bought after a long hard summer of mowing grass. It was a beater but
it was MINE! Played it till it could not be fixed anymore(17
yrs.old). Sad to see him go. I have looked for an EK pin for a year
or so to no avail. To bad I could not find one, I probably could not
afford it now. Now I need to dig into my old chest to find his books
and stuff. Long live Evel!!
