    This tale is also recounted in West of Loathing where it is only close to the most ridiculous in that game. That said, I just can't get enough of rehearing this information.

      Behind the Bastards needed more than one episode to cover this weird guy. It is remarkable how he managed to create a generation centered around breakfast and cereal....
