A rich aroma rose from the large bucket perched over a campfire. Daisy Moses (she insisted everyone call her 'Granny' as she figured that she earned that title at her age) used a wooden spoon that she had carved from a branch to stir the thick stew. "This batch is ready," she said with a tone of satisfaction. She had been very fortunate in finding some wild garlic and basil growing in the forest along with the largest strawberries she'd ever seen or heard of. "Must have some potent fertilizer in these parts," she speculated.
The tall man behind her sniffed the air appreciatively. "Smells fabulous, Granny. Ta and Sa have already licked their plates clean and are begging for more of your cooking."
Granny rounded on the man wearing the dark uniform of a courtroom bailiff. Nostradamus 'Bull' Shannon could be an intimidating figure, but Granny could see right through that charade. She could tell that he was nearly as dense as her grand-nephew Jethro but was as tenderhearted as her granddaughter Elly. "Those hairy naked goobers are pigging down all my hard cooked vittles before anyone else has had a chance to ask for seconds!"
Bull Shannon just shrugged not knowing the danger he was in. "Well, I guess everyone is still full of that giant sloth that you cooked up this morning. For some people it had been the first meal they had had in a day or two."
Granny laughed; her anger temporarily abated. "Heh! They grow varmints big around these parts, don't they? Big as the biggest moose I ever did see" She slapped Bull on the back with a strength that surprised the bailiff. "When Daniel Boone shot that sloth down, I couldn't believe the size of it! Thought I'd taken too many sips from my jug for one day!" She laughed and Bull decided to laugh along with her. "And when three giant leapin' lizard people rushed out at Boone, I thought he was a goner, but that was just before Davy Crockett himself jumped one of those lizards and Boone one of the others. They wrestled 'em to the ground before killin' 'em right before my very eyes!"
"I know, Granny." Bull lifted up his left arm that was bandaged with his sleeve actually sewn to his shirt for a temporary fix. "I was there. Remember? I tackled the third lizard."
"I know! I just love tellin' it! I'm practicin' for when I see my kin folk next. They are going to be hard pressed to believe all this." She laughed as she slapped her knee.
A look of concern crossed Bull's face. "Do you really think those two men were Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett?"
Granny waved her finger under the bailiff's nose. "Of course they are who they say they are! Nobody but those two could have done what they done!"
"But Granny, didn't they live… and die… over a hundred years ago?"
Granny waved her hand around the camp. "You've talked to some of these people. Over seventy people from all over the world and they all think it's a different year! So if that's true, then who's to say that Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone couldn't have found their way here, too?"
Bull scratched his bald scalp. "I guess so, Granny. It's just perplexing."
"Tell you what, when they get back from their scoutin' and huntin' with that mountain man Mad Jack and his mule, Number 7, we'll ask 'em things to verify their story. All right?"
The giant of a man looked down shamefaced, but nodded.
"You know, they looked a lot alike. I reckon they must be kin. All that railblazing' and huntin' must be in the blood."
Bull said nothing as there was nothing he could think to add.
She took and patted his other hand softly. "It's okay, Bull. You stay here and tend the fire while I go deal with those namby-pambies over there." She pointed with her wooden spoon over to where on the other side of the camp one of the two men trying to interact with the two Pakuni, Ta and Sa, was jumping and waving his arms about in order to get her attention.
She nodded to the man in order for him to stop looking so foolish.
"Oh, and Bull, keep an eye out for Elly May. I told her to take those critters away from the camp, but not to go too far. If see yells, there's trouble and you go an' rescue her."
Bull regarded the back-hills woman. "She's pretty strong. You're not trying any more of that matchmaking, are you?"
"Naw, I've about given up on that." She paused to regard him critically, "Unless you are comin' to your senses."
"No, I'm a city boy, and Elly May is a country girl."
She shrugged. "Then just keep an eye out for her. And keep those dogs off of what is left of that sloth."
"Lassie won't be a problem, but that yellow dog…" Bull shook his head. "He's cunning and wily. I'll do what I can, but I can't guarantee anything."
"Well, have that o-range-tangy help you them. That critter's got a mean left hook."
Bull rubbed his cheek. "Yeah, he got me, too."
Begrudgingly and slowly, Granny began to make her way across the camp with the bucket of stew held by its handle which she grabbed with an oven mitt that Crockett had made for her from a piece of the hide taken from the prehistoric giant sloth. She took only a moment to glance at a group of kids sitting together that had lost their friend Kenny to some giant dinosaur before they had found the group. The poor little tykes were still in such shock that they didn't even seem to be able to morn for their friend's tragic demise. The fattest one had eaten like a pig which assured Granny that he was bottling up his grief with food. She glanced up and said a quick prayer for them as she moved on.
She paused to watch a man in a brown suit trying to brush off an old log he wanted to sit down on. She had been watching him on and off doing that same thing for over an hour and her curiosity had gotten the better of her. "Everything all right, Mr. Monk?"
The man didn't look up but did seem to consider her question. "Um, no, no. Is there any other place to sit around here?"
"Well, there's God's good earth."
"No. Too dirty. And uneven. And the possibility of grass stains. And then there are the insects." They watched as a giant dragonfly with a three-foot wingspan flew past with a pigeon in its mandibles.
"They sure do grow 'em big around here!" Granny laughed. She had no idea how she had come to this strange land. She remembered stepping out of Mr. Drysdale's bank and spotting a newfangled telephone booth on the street corner. She had gone inside it to call her son-in-law, Jed, to send Jethro in to pick her and Elly May up in the family automobile. The next thing she knew a pedestal in the middle of the room glowed and the door behind her had sealed itself shut with her and Elly May inside. When it opened again a few minutes later, she found herself looking out into a lush, green forest. They went out to explore and soon found a young man and his uncle that told of a similar experience on how they had arrived here. Remembering some of Jethro's stories from some of the sci-fi comics he had been reading, Granny had come to the conclusion that they had been kidnapped by Martians. Tim O'Hara, a newspaper man, and his uncle Martin assured her that they didn't think that was the case though they didn't have a more logical explanation. Martin did speculate about an abnormality in the space-time continuum, but she figured the man just had too much sun and needed some water and shade.
She shook her head and planned to dwell on it all later. She left Mr. Monk who had begun trying to frantically try cleaning the log again with his dwindling supply of antiseptic wipes.
One of the men with the two hungry Pakuni was waving frantically at her again. She gave them a smile and waved back. Then she turned to an older looking man that was about her age who was accompanied by a teenager wearing a school jacket with a large 'W' on its chest.
"Howdy, Mr. Magoo. How are ya getting' along?"
The near-sighted man turned to a tall bush nearby and began to address it. "Eh? Fine, fine, young lady. My what a beautiful picture you make at this picnic. The mayor should sponsor a picnic in the park every year as I was just saying to this fireman."
The young man looked embarrassed. "I'm Scott Howard, ma'am. Mr. Magoo's eyes are giving him some trouble."
"Nonsense!" interjected Magoo. "If my eyesight were bad, then how could I say that this radiant beauty before us is the most beautiful lady in the park?"
Granny blushed. "Well, I'm a doctor and I think that his eyesight is just fine." She leaned over to whisper in Mr. Magoo's ear. "I'll see you later over yonder. You can help me pick some of those jumbo-sized berries they got here."
Magoo grinned as he elbowed the trunk of the tree. "Hee hee! I think she likes me!"
Granny headed off leaving Scott to direct the near-blind man toward the giant strawberry patch where some of the kids that had been sharing a cigarette were feeding the giant fruit to a baby brontosaurus.
"At last!" said the tall, wiry man who had been waving at her. "Ross has been driving me nuts! Ta and Sa refuse to come into the clearing because they feel to exposed. Ross thinks that if they don't get more food soon, they may lose interest and leave."
Granny shook her head. "Cosmo, those hairy moochers ain't going anywhere 'til they've filled their greedy bellies plumb full with whatever free vittles they can get their paws on!"
Kramer gave her a sideways look. "Well, he's worried that their insecurities would get the better of them and they'd take off to find some nuts and berries-"
"Nuts and berries? Over my cookin'? He's crazy!"
Kramer was almost bowled over as Granny plowed past him.
Ta and Sa, the two Pakuni brothers, were each just over five feet tall. Their entire bodies, except for their faces, were covered in thick, long hair. Their eyebrows were very pronounced making their eyes appear to be beady in appearance. Their hands were dark and gnarled from a lifetime of digging for roots. In each of those hands they held out a large piece of bark that someone had made a rough bowl out of.
Ross Geller stood up from where he'd been kneeling in front of Ta and Sa. "Finally! What took you so long?" He reached for the bucket of stew only to have his knuckles sharply rapped with Granny's wooden spoon. Ross shook his hand as he silently cried out.
"You and your freeloadin' goobers will be polite or I'll teach you what else I use a wooden spoon for!"
Fortunately for Ross, Kramer took that moment to intercede. "Granny, we do all appreciate all the cooking you've been doing. Really, it's wonderful. Better than most restaurants. It's just that finding these two cave people are a historic find. Probably worth millions. And Ross here is just so focused on finding these two, well, he's just feeling extremely validated for all his years of studying to become a doctor of Paleontology."
Granny scrunched up her eyes at him. "He's what kind of doctor?"
"Paleontology," answered Kramer. "It's the study of things that have been extinct for a long time, like Ta and Sa."
"Well, they stink all right. I'm going to have to get right on making some of my lye soap from some of that animal fat I saved."
Cosmo shook his head. "No, Granny. Not stink." He leaned in conspiratorially. "Though that soap idea might come in handy because they do reek. But, no, extinct means things that are long thought to have died off."
Granny blinked. "You mean to say that he studied to be able to doctor things that he thought would already be dead? What is he? Some kind of witch doctor?"
"No, Granny. Ross studies things that have died off millions of years ago."
She shook her head and handed Kramer the bucket of stew. "Well, I guess that way he don't have to worry about any of his patients dyin' on him." She walked away still shaking her head.
Cosmo was instantly surrounded by the two eager Pakuni so he began trying to pour some of the stew into their bark bowls. "Hot! Hot! Very hot!" Granny had taken her oven mitts with her.
Kramer stepped back and set down the bucket as Ta and Sa began blowing on their food even as they used their fingers to scrape the food into their mouths.
"That woman is insane!" snapped Ross, once he was finally able to speak again. He was still gingerly shaking the hand she had whacked.
"She thinks the same thing about you, too, buddy."
"You know when I first got here Granny was going on and on about a talking dog with glasses that she met here."
"That would be Mr. Peabody," nodded Kramer. "Yeah, he left with some others before you got here."
Ross had been running a calculating eye over Ta and Sa. It wasn't easy judging with all the hair and flesh that they had – he was used to studying bone fragments – but due to their cranial features he was willing to bet his petrified triceratops egg back home that these two were a previously undiscovered forefathers to the Neanderthals. Then it hit him. "Wait, back up. Are you saying that there was a talking dog here? With glasses?"
"Oh, yeah. Mr. Peabody said that he was a time traveler. But after Dr. Emilio Lizardo and his partner Warlord Shank kidnapped Mr. Peabody's pet boy, Sherman, and some others in order to find out where his time machine was, Mr. Peabody organized a rescue party and when to save them. There were some interesting characters in that crowd, let me tell you. The people still here may seem strange to you, but they were nothing like that Conan or pirate fellow."
Ross fell to his knees with a groan. "I've finally figured it out."
"What's that, buddy?" Kramer looked down with concern at his newfound friend.
"I've finally lost it." He waved a hand toward Ta and Sa who were fighting with each other over what was left in the stew bucket. "I stumble on the find of the millennium here and none of it's real."
"What's not real? What do you mean?" Kramer asked, confused.
"None of this. This place even has dinosaurs. I must be in some type of sanitarium and you guys are either part of my delusions or possibly some patients locked in with me."
Kramer nodded. "Whoa! I see where you are going with that. But don't you think you should consider some other possibilities before dismissing all of this?"
Ross slapped himself in the forehead. "Of course. That taxi I had to jump out of the way of last night. It must have hit me, or I hit something else. I'm in a coma! Oh man, Rachel is going to kill me if she has to raise Emma all by herself!"
From out of the woods came a man. "Ta! Sa!"
A tall darkhaired man wearing outdoor gear hurried thru the clearing to the startled Pakuni.
"It took me two years to do it but I'm back! Where's Holly and Will? Where's Cha-Ka? C'mon, answer me!"
"Hey, easy fella. You're spooking them," eased Kramer. He put a hand on the man's shoulder, but it was shaken off.
"I need to know where my kids are!" snapped the man.
"We got some kids here. Maybe some of them are yours. Who are you by the way? My name is Kramer." He held out his hand.
Reluctantly, the man turned from the frightened Pakuni and shook his hand "I'm Rick Marshall. I landed here a number of years ago with my kids, Will and Holly."
"And you were separated from them? Aw, that's no good." Kramer led him back into the clearing so that he could see all the other people there and perhaps find his kids. Ta and Sa followed behind while Ross stayed and bemoaned his possible coma status.
Rick glanced around at faces, searching. "Two years ago, I was checking out a possible way back from this place for all of us, but I was suddenly ejected back to our world."
"This is another world?" Kramer's eyes bugged out. "I thought we'd just gone back in time or something."
Rick shook his head. "No. This place is some type of micro-world that bends back on itself. We're not sure who built it originally or what even happened to them. Other people eventually arrive here but from various time periods and locations. Sometimes even other worlds."
"Wow! That is just so… wow!"
"There's never been so many people here before. I wonder what happened?"
Kramer shrugged. "Most everybody here has arrived in the last day or two. That's all I know."
Rick moved in a slow circle trying to see all the faces of people that were still relaxing after partaking from Granny's vitals. "I don't see them. Wait!" He took off running towards the strawberry patch and Kramer followed.
A skinny teenager was feeding the baby brontosaurus a football sized strawberry when his tall redhead girlfriend tapped him on the shoulder. "Eric, we have company."
Patting the young dinosaur on its haunches, Rick ran his other hand up to scratch it's back. "He's a little bigger than when I last saw him, but if you can believe it my daughter, Holly, had been trying to train this baby bronto to be a pet. She had even managed to get him to pull carts of fruit for her. She named him Dopey."
One of the tall teens doubled over laughing, expelling the smoke he'd been holding in his lungs. "Dopey! That's funny because we-"
The man next to him hit him hard in the arm. "Shut up, Kelso!"
"Ow! Dude! That hurt!" Kelso thought about it for a second. "Good one though."
"Oh, I get it!" said the short young man of indeterminate ethnicity. "It's funny because Hyde kept blowing smoke into the baby dino's face to get it high and its name turns out to be Dopey!" He laughed. "It is always funnier for me when I actually get it!"
Rick stepped around and examined Dopey's eyes. The young brontosaurus seemed unusually listless, and its eyes were not dilating. "You kids got Dopey high? What were you thinking?"
The short dark-haired girl next to Hyde spoke up. "Listen, mister, what Hyde did was really stupid-"
Hyde protested. "Hey, Jackie-"
She continued on. "-but he didn't hurt the baby dinosaur. He was just goofing off and trying to lighten everyone's mood!" She snorted and started to giggle. "What was I saying?" she asked.
"You are all high, aren't you?" accused Rick.
Donna stepped in. "Listen, we are sorry we messed with your daughter's pet dino."
"Yeah," agreed Eric. "No harm, no foul, right?"
"Those drugs are no good for you kids," said Rick. "They can ruin your whole life."
"He's right," said Kramer. "They've done a scientific study that proves that extensive drug use during your teen years retards your emotional growth and maturity for the rest of your life."
Hyde was having none of it. "That's a lie fabricated by the government in order to keep people from the freedom of attaining happiness in their own homes!"
"You kids are totally wasted and out of control!" responded Rick.
"What does it matter to you anyway, man! We are out here in the middle of nowhere! Dinosaurs and stuff are roaming around! Who do you think you are? A park ranger or something?"
Rick leaned in so that they were almost nose to nose. "As a matter of fact, I am a park ranger."
Hyde blinked in surprise, but Kelso howled in delight as he pointed to his friend. "BURN! You just got so burned, man!"
Hyde didn't say anything. He just turned and slugged Kelso hard in the arm repeatedly.
Then things seemed to go crazy.
Dash Parr hadn't known how long he'd been running for his life through the jungles of the Land of the Lost. All he knew was that if Zoom hadn't come after him that madman Johnny Quick would have caught up and left him dead under a bush somewhere. Sure, Dash was a great speedster, but Johnny Quick was like lightning when it came to running. If the maniac hadn't been chasing him for amusement there was no way that Dash could have lasted this long
Zoom had caught up with them up on one of the mountain passes as Dash had been running around a yeti hoping that the savage beast would be able to get at least one good swing in to knock Johnny Quick away. After that they had raced down to the valley and plowed through a patch of quicksand. Dash had doubled back which had given Zoom a chance to meet Johnny Quick head on.
It hadn't turned out as Dash had expected. Johnny Quick proved to be even faster than Zoom and soon had him half buried in sand and was beating his head in. Only due to the quick thought of Dash throwing a number of speeding coconuts at the evil speedster had Zoom been able to survive. After that it had been a number of repeat battles all over the Land of the Lost with Zoom having to save Dash from Johnny Quick and they Dash returning the favor.
Breathing hard, Dash had been only a quarter of the way into the clearing when he realized that there were a lot of people around. "Uh oh!" His mother had warned him repeatedly to try to never have a super battle around civilians. He began to pore on the speed to lead the psychotic speedster away when he was tripped by Johnny Quick. He bounced and rolled about thirty feet on the hard ground.
Groaning, the young superhero wearily and painfully rolled over so that he was on his hands and knees.
"Well, you've led me on a merry chase, kid, but enough is enough." Johnny Quick stood before the powerless boy six feet in front of him. An evil sneer appeared on his face as he suddenly stepped aside at super speed and raised his left arm to clothesline the rear attacking Zoom in the throat.
Zoom was temporarily down gasping for breath, and the evil speedster raced forward to kick Dash's head like a football, but the youth rolled to the side even as he threw a handful of dirt into the villain's eyes.
"I'M GOING TO CRIPPLE YOU AND THEN LET YOU SINK SLOWLY IN QUICKSAND, BOY!" He wiped painfully at the sand though some of it was indented into his eye due to the super speed at which it had been thrown. He was still able to see even though it was cloudy and painful with bits of red.
"You aren't going to do anything to the kid," growled a voice.
His vision clearing, Johnny Quick did a double-take. "What are you supposed to be? A reject from an old teenage horror flick?" Standing there in a high school jacket was a growling werewolf – claws and all.
Scott Howard bared his teeth and growled showing the villain that he should take his threat seriously. He hadn't planned on acknowledging his werewolf heritage with all the people he had met here but he couldn't just stand idle while the very obviously demented man in red killed the kid.
In response to the young werewolf's challenge, an evil smile crossed Johnny Quick's face just before he became a blur. He raced around and around the werewolf so fast that the air spun Scott like a top. "You're probably used to this kind of move from when you chase your own tail. But let's see how you like it at Mach 1."
A thick branch was thrown at just the right level to hit Johnny Quick in the legs causing him to trip and roll hard. Scott Howard fell hard on his butt and struggled to find his feet but had to give it up in order to throw up.
"Now don't try anything like that again!" came the threatening tone of Bull Shannon. In his hand he held another stick like the one that had already hit the speedster in the legs.
"You'll pay for that!" threatened Johnny Quick as he attempted to get to his feet; his right knee obviously causing him a lot of pain.
"It'll be hard to come through on your threats if I have to bust your kneecaps," responded the night court bailiff. He's had had to face a lot of things while working the court circuit, but people that hurt women, kids or animals were just so many kinds of wrong to him.
"You think a stick is going to stop me?" He eased his foot down to test how tender it was.
"I think it'll help," said a voice behind him. "Looks like all it took was a well-placed stick to slow you down in the first place."
Turning, Johnny Quick faced Zoom. The hero's costume was torn and half of his chest was bare. Purple and black bruises covered his body along with streaks of blood.
"You aren't even worthy of facing me!" Johnny Quick spun his arm in a clockwise circle at super speed generating a blast of air that knocked Zoom back into the jungle. The villain turned and sent another burst of super-fast air at Bull who was about to throw his other stick. Bull was thrown back and thru the campfire singeing his uniform and eyebrows. Dash was moving out of the way but was caught in enough of the wind to send him tumbling out of control.
The evil speedster tried to stand with his injured knee but found it too painful. He swore profusely. Noticing that he was being slowly surrounded by the people of the camp, he said, "This could be a problem. Time to change tactics."
Kelso, Hyde, Eric and Fez lobbed a couple dozen firecrackers at his feet but that merely annoyed him. Granny waved her wooden spoon like it was a weapon while Ross took up what seemed to be a karate stance. A yellow came charging in at the villain followed by a collie, a pretty blonde woman followed by an orangutang.
Hobbling at super speed while sending blasts of arm-generated wind to blow people and animals out of his path, Johnny Quick managed to grab an old, black man from behind for a hostage and held an arm over his throat.
"Let go of me, you dummy! You don't want me! You should grab one of the ladies!"
"Shut up, you old fool!" The evil speedster glanced around. "Everyone had better back off or I'm going to vibrate this man's head off!"
Suddenly the hostage's legs began to buckle as he grabbed his chest. "My heart! My heart! Elizabeth! I'm coming, Elizabeth! It won't be long now!"
"Unhand him," said a calm but stern voice.
Johnny Quick was surprised to find that his limbs felt like they were turned to lead. "What is this, some kind of mind trick?" What he saw was a man with two thin antennae sticking out of the top of his head.
Martin's 'nephew', Tim O'Hara stood at his side. "Do you have him, Uncle Martin?"
"For now. Though he is proving harder to contain than I had earlier anticipated. I think it may have to do with his speed abilities."
Tim worked on releasing the man from the speedster's leaden grip. "Here you go, Mr. Sanford."
The black man, freed, suddenly well, stormed away after stomping on Johnny Quick's foot and hitting him in the gut. "I told you to let me go, dummy!"
"You won't hold me for long!" raged Johnny Quick. He began internalizing his vibrations. He would make them all pay.
"He won't have to." The furry fist of Scott Howard smashed into Johnny Quick's jaw knocking the villain sideways where Clyde was waiting to deliver his own haymaker punch.
Everyone was still for a moment.
"Well, anyone here needs doctorin' see me over by Bull. Soon as I'm done with him, I can tend to you." See marched over to where her bag was, picked it up and went over to where the partially stunned lay on top of Krammer.
"Wow, you really popped him one!" Elly May said, checking first on Clyde and then Scott Howard who she found rather attractive. "Is your hand all right?" she said, even as she took his hand and examined it.
"You got him!" shouted Dash, also speaking to Scott. "Wow! Are you a real werewolf or a mutant? Can I see your claws? Do you really howl at the moon? Hey, I thought your kind only turned into werewolves when the full moon is out! Are you a mutant instead?"
Scott Howard backed away slowly from the barrage of questions though he let Elly May keep a hold of his hand, but finally someone had a question for Dash as well.
"Hey kid," said Hyde. "That superfast guy followed you here. What was that all about?"
Dash glanced around at them in surprise. "You don't know about the war?"
Everyone began sharing looks of concern. Looking in the distance, they could see some smoke in the sky as well as somethings flying above it. They assumed it was large birds or pterodactyls, until they some converge together to form a humanoid figure that glinted in the sunlight.
"Is that a giant robot?" asked Fez, squinting his eyes to see the distant figure better. "Cool! I want one!"
"We all want one," agreed Eric Forman, staring in shock and wonder.
"Is giant robots going to replace your Star Wars fixation?" asked his girlfriend, Donna.
"Why would I have to choose? It's not like it's Star Trek. I can like Star Wars and giant robots!"
They continued to watch as another giant walked into view. This one was a metal robot on its left side and a redheaded woman on the right.
Rick Marshall looked out into the jungle. "Will. Holly. Be safe and I will find you."
To be Continued!

Original AuThOr'S NoTeS: 8-16-2008
It's been a while, but I've had a lot of things change suddenly. My family and I have just moved from Oregon to Minnesota. We are still unpacking and working on a ton of other things.
When I finally got a chance to write I found I couldn't. Basically, I had writer's block from all the things in my life that were being tossed around like a flea at a dog kennel. Anyway, I wanted to do something with Dash, Zoom and Johnny Quick since they ran off to fight a number of chapters ago. It was supposed to be short but then I began thinking about the camp that Mr. Peabody and the others in his group had mentioned when they had helped free them from the Alien / Xenomorphs. I wondered who could be in that camp and it just built itself from there. It was fun and relaxing, plus I got to add a few more movies and TV series to the crossover.
The next posting will be a serious chapter. Promise.

I wanted to add more here, mostly to show a group of mostly normal people who got brought to the Land of the Lost, too.
Teen Wolf in here is from the movie in 1985, not the TV series which I have never seen which started a few years after I first posted this chapter. I added the people seeing Voltron at the end, and put in a few more characters. I almost tried to add Ferris Bueller, but figured if I was going to add any more characters, it should probably be from somewhere other than the USA and the 20th century.
