Hi South park fans I suppose! Q: Does anyone here know if Eric Stouch's middle name is Leopold? Or where else does that name come from?

be cool and other good things.

I thought Butters' name was Leopold Stotch, as in butterscotch. Where did you get "Eric" from?

"The Ghost of General Lee"

Yes Eric Stough is often credited Eric "butters " Stough. In my head Butters has all the caracter traits of the main caracter in The Idiot by Dostojevski, appart from the nervous epilepsia,and though his name is not Leopold but Leo I see a connection to the detail. The lesson is excactly the same, it's amazing. I add that I've only seen up untill episode 125, so I certainly don't know the hole story about Butters.

Yeah, he is, isn't he?! And Kenny is *just* like that character in "War and Peace", you know, the guy with the hard-to-pronounce surname. Can't think of what his name is but he's just like Kenny except for the hood, muffled speech and getting killed all the time.

Silly get's silly! I see the point. But nevertheless there is a tragic, universal truth in there, one that fucks this world up. Dont you sometimes wish you could give Butters' parrents a good beating?

Goodpoo, lm

Well, your post might have been less silly if I had actually *read* The Idiot". :-)

And yeah, sometimes I do feel like Kenny's parents do need some sense beat into them.

Wouldn't it be cool if that actually worked? I mean, if you could actually beat sense into people? I think there's be a LOT of beating going on at first, then not so much.

There may not be any deliberate link, but if you read it, you would not only read a great book, you would perhaps see what I mean.

Well said!! My words were badly chosen. I don't think such a thing has worked yet. Ending the circles of abuse is what is to be done.
