Dykstra Who?

A few days ago, my random quote was “Everybody is somebody else’s weirdo”,
attributed to Dykstra. One of my readers, the blogmaster over at “the

out there shed some light on this?

Tongue in Cheek?

I sincerely hope this article is a joke. Read for yourself and drop me a comment with your take.
