[In an accident today, Herb was flame-broiled into a double whopper]

	How I wish the above headlines were true!  Herb, "don't succumb",
I shouted, but to no avail.  The nation's burger-chomping nerd is
wandering the country in search of people recognizing him to
get free money or at least some fries.  I hope some good ole' boys
express their attitude towards geeks Freddy Blassie style.
Herb may qualify as a pencil neck geek, "and if there's one thing
lower than a side-show freak is a dirt-kickin grit-eating
PENCIL NECK GEEK".  Okay, substitute burger for grit.
I can imagine a Saturday night live news report similar to
Buckwheat's shooting, but with no sympathy from the reporters!

What fun!

PS- The references are to Freddie Blassie,a wrestler who recorded a song
called "Pencil Neck Geek" which is heard on the Dr. Demento show.
