So it wasn't fictional?

Absolutely not. There really was a retard from Alabama who grew up in knee braces which made him super fast and he went on to play football for Paul Bear Bryant at the University of Alabama after which he enlisted in the Army and went to Vietnam where he was awarded the Medal of Honor for trying to save his black friend, then after meeting the President, for the second time, spoke at a famous anti-war rally on the Mall where he was reunited with his long lost love, then beat up a hippie. Then, after being selected to represent the United States in a high stakes ping pong match in China, he returned to Alabama and bought a shrimp boat and became the richest shrimper in the south after a devestating hurricane destroyed the rest of the shrimping fleet.

Also, somewhere along the way he ran across America twice and invented the smiley face emoticon.



All of that really happened.
