Maybe Zart will come back to make his avatar a kind tribute to the man.

The scene at the end of A Christmas Story where he watches Ralphie open his BB gun gets to me every time.  snuf

See, when I heard a mini-soundbite on the radio this morning that "The Night Stalker" was dead, I thought  that the serial killer of the same name  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Ramirez) had died.  And when I scanned the other posts, I was confused, especially by why Aug would be touched by a serial killer/rapist giving anyone a gun.  I remember the dad from Christmas story, so thank you... for the education.
