Will,
Don't worry, it's just a joke... a little fun amidst all my preparations
for fall courses in Novels and Theory and something the University calls
"Acquisition of Knowledge" (a soft-core history of epistemology course for
Honors kids).
Kenny is the little parka-wearing kid whose voice is all but unintelligible
on the animated tv show *South Park*. He dies in some gruesome way in
every episode, but comes back normal as always in the next. At his death,
during each half-hour show, one of his friends inevitably shouts "They
killed Kenny! You Bastards!"
Please pardon the small bit of pop-lunacy.
Enjoy the days and nights,
--John
