original_post:_7/4/2001_______________ Surprise! Now there's a character twist that we didn't see coming. Or maybe you did. Whatever. Point is, I wanted to have a character that was a spin on a stereotype. Even though Willy was obviously going to be someone that was a little quirky, this sets up that there's more to him, and that we're not quite done with him yet. Also, I have never and probably never will pick up a hitchhiker. Have you?
