I thought at first from the post subject, it might be "Bite-Size Tails 
of the Pet LNH".  Thank you for sparing us from that.

... Well, then.  I bet Clueless Lad *has* a past, but the Legion will 
have to scan his birth certificate into their online systems if they 
want to learn about it.  Of course, I could be wrong... he could be the 
spawn of Cosmic Powers.  8{D>

Is there a Cerebrus character with three big brains, in which case the 
Reverse Cerebrus would have three big butts?  Or do you mean The Reverse 
Cerberus?

I might conceivably write a Clueless Lad Team-Up with The Writers. 
(Great RACC-Con fun, right?)  But meeting the Higher Powers is not the 
same as understanding them.  If people could understand God, God would 
be scientific fact.

Turns out I'm an anally-fixated oedipal paranoid with 
south-of-the-border schizophrenic delusions...  But never mind, I've 
found me the ideal job.  I'm going to run for President!
