"were you a lonely child?..."

I grew up the middle of five kids. My dad was so-so funny, but my mom was (and still is) a complete smartass. Her brothers, my three uncles, were the same. Kinda like being around the Marx Brothers during my formative years. Guess that explains a lot...

BTW, after carefully looking at Spike's first photo again, I've concluded that this could also be a one-legged wolf with the bird in its mouth...
