There usually is someone to answer you, though as we all know, you don't
necessarily get the answers you were looking for :)

It's pretty much a joke "title" anyway, so I'd say the '60s fruitcake,
definitely :)

OK, Guru it stays then :(
Shame, I prefered Sensei myself, OK, that makes you an immortal elf :)
who was a fruitcake and pillpopper in the 60's, so we add long hair,
beads and flowered robe like clothing, pointy ears, 6 foot tall, slim,
handsome, permanent strange shambling "Shaggy" walk. Erm... I'm not
sure about this character picture I'm getting here, it's kinda wierd :)
