Seanie Yost signed a pact with Mephistopheles.

I think that the same soul inhabits Seanie Yost as inhabited Ed Chigliak.

I'm down for the skinny dipping.

I always think of Danny Ackroyd's impression of Tom Snyder as actually being Tom Snyder. In fact when I read his age, for a split second I thought, "Dan Ackroyd can't possibly be that old".
