Matty's (and Mike's) father came over in 1989 when Matty was "three or four" (p. 683). If Matty had been three and four in 1989, he was born in 1985, which would mean he turns 23 in 2008.

Jotenkin hämärästi sekin oli Mattyn äiskän vika. Matty oli Orinin ikätveri. Siitä tuli maxullinen hinuri. Varjelkoon ettei tämäkin ole izekoettua.
ellauri082.html on line 127: JOI’s wraith is responsible for the strange disturbances around ETA — tripods in the forest, moving Ortho’s bed, ceiling tiles on the floor. He knocks the ceiling tiles down in an attempt to find the DMZ. Pemulis is too distracted with getting expelled to have Hal take it, so JOI needs to get it to Hal some other way.
ellauri082.html on line 129: Described as coming from a kind of mold that “grows on other molds,” DMZ is an incredibly powerful and mysterious hallucinogen. It can have many different effects but often seems to transform a person’s ability to communicate. It is also nicknamed “Madame Psychosis,” after Joelle’s radio persona. Michael Pemulis manages to acquire some, but it is stolen before he and Hal can take it. It’s suggested that Hal has been affected by DMZ by the time of the Year of Glad, but it’s unclear how—whether from eating a piece of mold as a child and then withdrawing from marijuana, or having his toothbrush laced with Pemulis’s drugs (possibly by James’s wraith). As a result of this presumed DMZ consumption, Hal is able to feel strong emotions (which was impossible for him before) but unable to communicate.

xxx/ellauri085.html on line 44: Tenniskoulun loppufarssi Wayne vs. Pemulis todistaa miten läpimätää koko touhu on, millaisia viirupäitä jenkit on kun ne harrastaa tollasta vinoonkasvanutta huipputreeniä. Eikä Wallu kuitenkaan yhtään tajua mistä siinä loppuviimexi on kysymys. Kysymys on vanhasta maailmasta poispotkittujen kaikkimulletänneheti paskiaisten pystyynkakkimasta taloussysteemistä, josta ei voi syntyä muuta kuin suunnatonta harmia koko pallolle. Oli hirveen paha virhe kuskata näitä porukoita neizeellisille maille ja päästää sotkemaan suhteellisen koskemattomaxi jäänyt puoli maailmasta aivan pilalle.
