Harry “Larry” Simpkins
Houston, TX – born 2009
Born to a mother with a speech impediment and 7 other children, Harry was usually alone, even with 9 or 17 other people running around his house. one spring, with the heat index well above 100, Harry awoke to his mother moaning from the living room. he rushed out of the bedroom he shared with 6 siblings, 2 cousins and the maytag repair man and entered the living room to see out the front window a short yellow school bus, a line of people out the front door and his mother on the floor spread eagle entertaining the man he passed on the school bus every morning out front of whispering hills sanitarium sweeping the grass. Much to his chagrin the man he only knew as “lawn sweeper” looked at him and said while pumping his mother; “HI LARRY!”

Karl “The Seer” Jenkins

Born 1957 in the Tremont section of the Bronx

When Karl was born people always said there was something different about him.  His grandmother, an old voodoo woman from New Orleans who relocated to NYC in hopes of a better life for her family often said he had the gift.  When Karl was in he was said to have seen the assassination of President Kennedy almost a year before it happened.  As time went on Karl struggled with his gift, he was always looking for the next big vision, but was cursed to only see mundane everyday events like “I see you eating a hotdog and drinking a coca-cola.”  Years later Karl became a born again christian and confessed that the only reason he saw Kennedy’s death was because he was looking into Abraham Zapruta’s future and sawing him “filming some shit” it just happened to be Kennedy’s death.

Wayne Quilt Fest and as he high jumped over a 8 foot tall quilt made by a lovely miss sandy beckinsin of the indianapolis beckinsin’s, frank blindly leaped onto a display table mistakenly set up ontop of his down landing pillow by the farmhand Lurvy from the Jones Hog Farm. This display table was set up with 78 different types of hook needles meant for “speed knitting”.
Three of the needles severed his spine and “knit” then spent the rest of his days knitting boys track and field inspired quilts and handkerchiefs from a wheelchair made of donated copper pipe.

Clint “ragtime” portifino

Born 1927 in Skoki, IL

Clint spent the better part of his youth in and out of detention centers.  He had an affinity for sexual assault.  The sentences might have been a bit steep since most of the charges stemmed from him laying naked next to girls and crying until they touched his junk.  In 1946 he had his reeses peanut butter cup chocolate and peanut butter moment when he poured a bit of chloroform on a rag and started knocking these women out, and leaving before they woke up.  The CIA caught wind of his ingenuity and brough him on board to take down suspected spies without a struggle.  After 14 years with the agency he was given a merit award and his new nickname Ragman
