About Me

There is some mystery surrounding Greg's origins. It was rumored that he was sold to the gypsies as a child. When questioned, the gypsies vehemently denied any knowledge of the incident. In the early 1970's, he made the long journey from to Newport, Rhode Island to Memphis, Tennessee by way of Nova Scotia. When he finally arrived, he realized that he left his comb and had to go back for it. At the age of four, one of his favorite activities was eating crayons and watching the Watergate hearings.

He vanished in 1975. There are no records of his whereabouts until 1991, when the crew of a Norwegian fishing boat rescued him from the North Atlantic. He was dressed in a French maid outfit and was muttering, "Thank you sir, may I have another?" After the crew fed him a ham sandwich, they threw him back in the water and went back home.

He was arrested in 1994 after breaking into heavy metal singer Kip Winger's house claiming to be a distant cousin. In an effort to get his life back on track, he tried to break into the film industry. He became distraught, however, when he realized that the only job he could find was as a body double for Anne Heche. Today, he lives in a tree in Overton Park and throws nuts at anyone who comes too close.
