(Of late we here have compared A to Audrey.)

Should you care to depart GCT and bump into the guy who played Lolita's stepdad, watch Hitchcock's <i>North by Northwest</i>.

Obviously it's about GCT! Damn it, Doc. I wanted to have Roman guessing for a while. Oh well.

If you get Roman confused, he might flash his tattoo and SCARE you! It's happened before...

Besides, it's not nice to confuse "foreigners" from distant lands!
