I think the "Breakfast at Czar's" and "Something Terrible" lines are
probably cracks at Lynda's expense (but not necessarily), as there's
no doubt that Spike exaggerates ("he's been telling that story since
there were only two other guys"), but for each exaggeration there
may be a kernel of truth. Really, I was basing my theory on the
"Money, Love and Birdseed" line, but I think it holds up to scrutiny.
And anyway, it wasn't my short story that started the theory. Did
anyone else out there read it, and if so can they remind me who wrote
it and exactly *what* it described Spike getting up to at the dance?
David, unable to think of a witty quotation to sign off with but
working on it.
