Gudlyf’s World

(Chapter 1, Chapter 2)

Let’s start out in the order of introduction so far:

Chewie — As you may have guessed it, yes he is named after that Chewie. Does he look like Chewbacca? Not really. Does he act like Chewbacca? Eh…no. Does he smell like Chewbacca? N…well actually, that’s debatable, but if you were to ask me if he sounds like Chewbacca, I would have to unequivocally say, “hell yes!” That boy could churn out wookie grunts, growls and howls like none other than the chestnut colored alien we’ve all come to love.

Glum — If you’re old enough to remember The Banana Splits & Friends Show (”Oh oh Chongo!”), you may recall The Adventures of Gulliver, where a Lilliputian by the name of “Glum” would reliably put a damper on the others’ plans by saying, “We’re doomed! We’ll never make it!” “Fearless leader” isn’t necessarily the first term we’d use to describe our chapter president.

Stinky — Stinky is Glum’s older brother, and he’s one of the few I still keep in contact with. How he got his nickname, I’m not going reveal here. This is not because of a strange fraternal secret oath, but rather I think you’d thank me for not telling you. Let’s just say that it doesn’t have to do with how he smells. Well, at least not when I saw him last, but you know how age does things to people.

Butler — This is yet another name that you’ll thank me for not telling you the meaning of. In fact, I’m not all too sure I should be telling you any of them. But since I’ve not revealed the fraternity in question nor the real names of these people, I’m confident I’m safe from having my every body hair infested by the fleas of a thousand camels — something sworn upon us all should we reveal such secrets. Anyway…Butler. Butler’s nickname became so ingrained upon him that it’s believed all but the founding fathers of our fraternity chapter didn’t know his real name. It’s believed his own parents and siblings decided to start calling him ‘Butler’, most likely because anyone calling his home would ask for him by that name. Butler could easily be the subject of a whole set of other stories on his own. This man is probably the closest to Animal House’s Bluto that we had.

Bixby — The name ‘Bixby’ of course comes from The Hulk’s alter-ego, so-to-speak. Now you have to imagine that this guy, at least at the time, was one skinny dude, mabe weighed one-fifty soaking wet. In other words, this was no warrior by any means in the physique department. However, get on this man’s wrong side, and The Hulk was indeed unleashed. There was talk that he took down ten guys on his own while in a drunken stupor, wearing a vodka-punch soaked toga at three A.M., with two of the guys holding his arms back. His cigarette never left his mouth.
