Mike Topp made an impression from Day One. Slithering out of his uncle's womb, he turned around and bit the head off emerging twin brother Boinky. Before he was a year old, he caught the eye of the Pope, who constantly exhorted him to "Enter into me, oh tingly-wingly serpent." He traces his interest in postmarks to these years. An artificial spleen made his teen years bearable after the bank repossessed his ant farm. His amusing catchphrase, "Get the picture?" is poignant to those who know he's been married to an antique gold frame for 40 years. The picture in the frame is his.
