This may come as little shock, but not every child treats another with the upmost respect and dignity that they probably deserve. Unfortunately, that's always been the case for our good friend, Jim.
Some might argue that he brings it on himself, but the older I get, the more I am disturbed by the grief we put Jim through - and also the more impressed I am that he hasn't completely snapped into a frothy-mouthed maniac.
A Blast From The Past...
Original Commentary - 4/03/2002
"Every group has their own hapless soul who gets teased, abused, violated, crushed, punished, chastised, and occasionally set on fire. Of our group, Jim is this poor soul. We’ve known him since elementary school, and even then, he was teased mercilessly (pastey white fat kids who talked fast and spoke gibberish were NOT all the rage back then…). If there was ever a person to climb those clock-tower stairs once more bearing a sniper rifle, it’d be Jim.
"Jim’s actually a smart fellow, he just lacks the ‘street smarts’ end of the spectrum. He can’t really talk well, stumbling over his own words which usually results in him saying the oddest, dumbest things. One can’t help to wonder, “How in the hell did he come up with that?” and then, “Why the fuck is he so white?”
Yes, a fat mystery wrapped up in yellow flannel…that’s Jim."
