Actually, I'm originally from the West where we still have gunfights. Jesse James says "hi."

I'm in Philthadelphia at the moment, but planning on returning to the OK Corral when I get my degree.

AHA! I knew it! And you saw it here first!

There ARE two Jeremies, coming at us out of the clear blue sky, in an unprovoked and dastardly attack, "coincidentally" on the same day! Just as I suspected.

Yeah, well, Jeremy No. 2, I was planning to return to Penix, A. T. (that's Arizona Territory to you, sonny) the minute I was done at Columbia in 1977. But a little thing called Jersey City happened, and here I am, a Stranger from Paradise, a regileh Yenkee, a real live nephew of mein Onkel Sem, born on the 25th of December. Birthday presents may be included with your dues again this year.

And furthermore, tell Jesse James that I said he's a wuss. And that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard, too. What's this "OK Corral" shit, Mr. Urban Cowboy? Do you come up from Philly every day to prance around Times Square in your tightie whities, or is that some other guy?

Just exactly where do you mean when you say you're from the "west," anyway? These goddam easterners think Pittsburgh is west.

Let us know. I'm just getting warmed up for your proctological probe project. Speaking of which, how's my classmate Frank Matero?
