--> '''Jimmy''': "What's that Mr. Henderson?"

* TheStoner: He [[spoiler:''made a blunt out of a page of the [[BrownNote Necronomicon]]'']] and got Jimmy to join in.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: He started the game with diagnosed schizophrenia and "a pre-existing hatred of religion, cutlery, and books.", which along with his dyslexia and tendency to take hallucinogenic drugs made him practically immune to the SAN loss usually taken by dealing with the eldritch horrors and nightmares.
