INTRODUCTIONS

   
CLUMPS O'HARE
Coming from Ireland at the age of 14, he was one of the survivors of the Titanic (1912). He got over that. But then came W.W.I (1917). And he got over that. But then came the "Great Depression" (1929). He almost got over that. But then came W.W.II (1941). Some say he got over that. But then came the Korean War (1950), the Vietnam War (1960), the Polyester/Disco War (1970), the "I, Me, Mine" War (1980) and the computer Glutz War (1990). And, well, at 102 years old, who can blame him for his bad disposition? He's just waiting, anticipating the next bad "Bad Thing" that's going to happen.
   
SPIKES O'HARE
He came from a small, small rural town in Ireland. So upon his arrival in New York City, you can imagine what happened. Yep... "Culture Shock." It scared the living daylights out of him, which accounts for his, uh... unique hairdo. Frightened for life physically, but his eternal optimism brought him through. (The future's so bright... I've got to wear shades.) He'll try anything to stay here, (and usually does.) Anything to be a part of the "Big American Dream," (whatever that is). Ladies & Gentlemen: SPIKES O'HARE.
