	BARRY THE WEB GUY (Doctor Vlarg) – Barry was vat-grown in a top secret lab designed to breed nerd-soldiers for an internet war that was sure to come within the next 2 decades. The project lost all funding shortly after his birth and he mysteriously found his way to New Jersey, where was abducted by large-eared aliens and raised as their own. Through a steady diet of 1980’s teen films and bizzare alien sex rituals involving pineapples and bacon, he was bred to infiltrate the human race and spread misinformation and chaos, weakening the enemy’s resolve for a possible future invasion. He also makes websites and enjoys sushi. barry@uglycouchshow.com	twitter.com/omnibuscortex Line at arbys 12 deep. Drive thru is 6 deep. Slow person is training new person on the register.
