this is a picture of old strickerd telling me the story. i put this picture because i don't have any pictures of the long-long-ago-far-far-away deeticus. obviously.
Long long ago, and far far away, there was a mountain. At the foot of the mountain (sorta near the big toe) there was a stream. It was a long and winding stream, and was very famous in certain circles. By the side of the stream, just after a very bendy bend, was a rather opinionated tree. And nestled in the roots of the rather opinionated tree, lived a family of deeticus. There was head-of-family deeticus, tail-of-family deeticus, junior deeticus, juniorer deeticus and juniorest deeticus. And they all lived in the roots of the tree by the stream at the foot of the mountain in long long ago and far far away. And then the Americans bombed the place, and then the Americans bombed the place. The End.
