......Where the crap is Doug at?!?!? It has now been several days since I have heard from the Herculean One. I am now becoming concerned for his safety, but more concerned for the safety of others. I am afraid to think what Doug may do out in the real world by himself. His affinity for Peppermint Schnapps' and Dorals could bring a sleepy Indiana town to it's knees. I've been monitoring the local news closely to see if I could find a glimpse of some of the disasters that he may have wrought.

.....I heard about a large fire around here somewhere and thought that perhaps in a hazy daze Doug may have set the local comic book store ablaze. This was not the case though......some pipes blew up or something.

.....I then thought perhaps Doug had taken off on some kind of spur of the moment ski vacation or something.

.....I don't really see Doug as the skiing type when I really started thinking about it though. Then it hit me! Perhaps Doug had found a cyber-lover or something and had abandoned his dreams of becoming Mr. Universe to the illicit charms of an online vixen!

.....I then remembered that Doug didn't own a computer. It also came back to me that he really was going on vacation to lovely Orlando, Florida to visit a friend and do some Rocky type training. I bet Doug is racing down some lovely beach right now loudly whistling "Eye of the Tiger".

.....Shortly after I wrote this Doug called and said that he was indeed doing some intensive training, but he sounded quite inebriated and I definitely heard something in the background like loud music and a booming voice saying, "Put your hands together for the lovely Bubbles." Doug will however be back soon, so be sure and check back often to see how he is progressing.
