Or most people of my acquaintance, to name whom would take far too long.

Keep cool Tom, when I said Petey was the best but I did not say petey was the best thing about the show. I was just giving the little guy some well overdue props. He's had a rough couple weeks with the Bridgetroll controversey, but I think he's coming back in stride! Your reaction to it was priceless too and made it more enjoyable.

I liken him to Barry Bonds: Petey was unstoppable for a long time, was accused of drug use, age became a factor, but he's somehow still hitting ones out of the park every now and then. The difference is Barry Bonds is an adult monster and Petey is a teenager.

I enjoy Petey as a caller, and am impressed by him as a human being, for someone his age his artistic creativity, sense of humor and ambition are to be applauded. He isn't as funny when he calls as he used to be, but he isn't 10 any more, and the schtick had a short shelf life (How many Sammy Schniggles bits do we need really). Heck we all get older and more serious, it is a side effect of real life.

Petey is a brilliant young man and will go far.
