I actually saw the movie they made of the Tin Drum. Very disturbing. All I remember is that it was about a boy who suffered some sort of brain damage that prevented him from growing after he fell down some cellar stairs. He would beat on a tin drum and utter an era-splitting scream.

You're lucky. I read the whole d*mn book to get the same thing out of it. Although, according to the book, the kid threw himself down the cellar stairs because he didn't want to grow up and always wanted to have a 3 year-old s mentality.

Come to think of it, that sounds an awful lot like Bubba Clinton's life story (sorry, couldn't resist taking the cheap shot). The other part that was pretty weird was that, after he had tossed himself down the cellar stairs, he took up hiding under (under, mind you, NOT behind) his mother's skirts. REALLY kinky!!
