So eager to see this! And we will see if we can't get to Norwich for that leg.
And at the exciting climax, right after he's been named Prom Queen, Jim will be doused with a bucket of pig blood which will cause him to go on a psycho-killer rampage and to stab Ms. Laurie to death with 10,000 kitchen utensils, all via mental telepathy!
Right?
You've just given us the big ending we were looking for. Surreal theater!
