title: I was thinking the other
---

I was thinking the other day (hmmm... yesterday, maybe) "What ever happened to the Britannica Boy?" Like always when I have questions like these, I turned to the internet, thinking somebody's done a big fan page for the twerp. It seems he was too universally despised, as the only mention of him I could find was [this page of taglines](http://www.mcs.brandonu.ca/~ennsnr/Tags/Alpha/e.html) which includes "The Encyclopedia Britannica Boy must die!" Once for Halloween, my friend Matt did a spot-on impression of him and was threatened with beatings everywhere he went. Of course, in his day-to-day persona, he was also threatened with beatings everywhere he went.
