I think we had six of us in my buddy’s Corolla (his was even that color). Ah, the ‘80's.

Someday I’ll remember how to spell that without looking it up.

Okay, I appear to be the only one boggled by the concept of a guy who goes fast named Loris... </nerd>

Shaw’s angry Scottish cousin

Sooo... if the timing is the same in Brazil, it’s probably well after the time when microcephaly would have started. Sigh.

My theory is he was genetically engineered in a secret laboratory in the French Alps.
