Epilogue : Presumed dead after being separated from a Safari deep in the Congo, **Why A Duck** survived to become the mate of Mugus, a silverback Mountain Gorilla.

**Waverly** ran away to join the circus but found no love on the trapeze. He flew to Japan but found no love among the geishas. He fled to Libya but found no love among the sand dunes. He went to the Iowa but found no love among the corn, only farmers farming. And then he came home and lived happily ever after. ---

Naw, yours is just dandy. **Osiris** was later found stripped of his all clothes, left to roam the streets of Waikiki naked. It is thought that the burly naked woman on the tenth floor on took umbrage at his peeping-tom act. 😉 ---

Inspired by the first Indiana Jones movie, **Radio Wave** embarked on his own quest to find the Ark of the Covenant. However, a brief stop in Des Moines, Iowa resulted in his luggage being stolen by a small hobo. In an effort to recoup his lost funds, he has volunteered to be a guinea pig in a science lab. Radio Wave was last seen, 50 feet tall, rampaging through downtown Des Moines. The army expects to defeat him shortly. ---

**ResIpsaLoquitor** briefly reached stardom as the host of the acclaimed talk show “Let’s Us Mock Someone,” but retired at the peak of his career claiming a sudden allergy to spandex. To avoid contact with the public, ResIpsaLoquitor changed his name, had plastic surgery, and disappeared. Rumor has it that famed erotica author “'Tis A Squirrel Poo” is Res’ new identity, based on similar personalities and the anagrammed names. ---

While a member of the studio audience at a taping of the Jerry Springer show, \*\*d12’s[b/] life was tragically cut short after being hit with a thrown chair that was being used to make the point that just because a woman marries the guy who was sleeping with her daughter to prevent her from making a terrible mistake doesn’t make her any less of a skank ho. ---

To skip back a few posts… **BraheSilver** made unprecedented advancements in time travel experiments. His current location is unknow, as he disappeared from the laboratory one night, leaving only the numbers 10 24 1601 scratched hastily onto a piece of paper. ---

**Rob Graham** quit his job to join the pro wrestling circuit. Known as Rob “The Ram” Graham, he became the XPCXXLWF heavyweight champion and held the title for 13 years before tragically passing away during an in-ring stunt involving an eskimo, three Christmas trees, a time machine, and a three-toed sloth. (the full details are too gruesome to publish here; for more information, read his biography, available at fine book stores everywhere.) -Dirty Earthworm ---
