Poor JimLane. You have to wonder how such a guy goes sour.

To say that time has not
treated our poor friend well would be a vast understatement. What
crueler fate could anyone suffer than discovering that after all of
life's efforts and struggles, you end up being little more than the
poor lost soul known as JimLane?

The passing of one's youth can sometimes leave little but anger and
resentment, and JimLane grew himself a grim puss to match. Given to long
solo
walks in the woods, the once merry party boy Jim is now faced with
the loneliness and confusion that often accompanies a life poorly
lived.

Now known to all in his village as "that nut," JimLane
has now been forced to accept the charity of soup kitchens and other
similar institutions dedicated to serving the needs of the destitute.

Often seen shuffling down the street mumbling darkly about his inability to
discern really good coffee, JimLane is now forced to endure the
taunts of children and the unkind attentions of the local police.
