Unlike his uncle, the renowned Malibu tannist Zonker Harris, Zipper Harris was born and raised in Northern California. Thanks to a legacy scholarship, and following a family tradition now two generations old, he came to Walden College as a receiver (like his Uncle Zonk) on the school's football team. In a radical break with his forbearer and hero, Zipper is, however, occasionally dating. Zipper was co-founder, along with roommate Jeff Redfern, of myVulture.com. He made an unsuccessful attempt to download and license the real time wireless output from Dick Cheney's defibrillator. Harris maintains a blog primarily devoted to his stop sign collection. Like his roommate, Jeff, Zipper has figuratively gotten religion and is working on a "poli sci" project that will deliver The Dickster and his band of war criminals to the Hague.
Jeff Redfern (in the Oakley shades) is the son of social activist and former Justice Department lawyer Joanie Caucus and Washington Post journalist Rick Redfern, Jeff Redfern was born in December, 1982. He showed an early predeliction for prepositions such as "although", "and", "but" and "unless". Despite difficult passage through the day care years — largely the result of his inability to speak the native language of his caregivers — Redfern was outed as a gifted child at four and sent to nerd school. Despite this training he was nonetheless able to nurture a gift of extreme hand-eye coordination to achieve a high level of mastery of "Doom." Redfern attends Walden College and has actually gotten serious about his studies. Along with roommate-(former) teammate Zipper Harris, he co-founded myVulture.com and sold it to entrepreneur Mike Doonesbury. Recruited by the CIA as a summer intern, Redfern managed to accidentally launch a Hellfire missile from a Predator drone, taking out an Al-Qaeda ammo dump. He was subsequently assigned to study Arabic in Spook School and sent back to SW Asia for Gulf War II. Redfern is back at Walden now after failing to get a full-time gig with The Company and a full-bore slacker.
If this were only (fair & balanced) reality. (Sniff)
