The world according to Freddy...

1. Never forget - they are always the enemy.
2. Just remember, a$$holes are born that way, and they usually don't change.
3. You do not want to go to jail.
4. When you start to take this job seriously, you're in trouble.
5. It takes no more time to see the good side of life than it takes to see the bad.
6. If you decide to run with the ball, just count on fumbling and getting the sh*t knocked out of you a lot, but never forget how much fun it is just to be able to run with the ball.
The cure for everything is saltwater - sweat, tears, or the sea. ~Isak Dinesen

I love you madly
Feelin' so sad now since you've been gone, gone, gone

Do the paperback editions have Mardi Gras spelled right? He spelled it wrong in the hardback.

I was serious. It's a serious question. I know in the paperback editions they usually make corrections. Does anyone know or remember if Mardi Gras was corrected? It was the only mis-spelling I came across in the book that I can remember.

If you've got any idea of where in the book it was, I can look in my copy later....
