  • On the trestle, they would go ahead of a crawling friend and should hustle rather than casually walk.
  • In the train race, Gordy seems to have the drop on Chris until Chris shows Carl Lewis speed.
  • How the leech reached Gordy's groin through jeans and underwear in two minutes is the biggest nit; the waistband is offered as an answer.
  • They would not outrun that train, and the fall would kill them, yet they get right up.
  • Lard-Ass left a lot of pie while claiming to be done, and the DJ, Bob Cormier, took the pies more seriously.
