poor robert dudley. everything seems to happen to him. as it wasn't enough him being retarded and missing a thumb at birth and having been stripped of his blue jacket and pinned up for a semester by his sale tag and then severely traumatised when von ran a pin through his ear. now he's got a patch of red ink between his eyes from a pen i had left uncapped on the bed and will have to go through the rest of life looking like gorbachev or something. i am trying to make much of him but he is implacable.
