this is mark young, he’s the regular graveyard guy at the 7/11 bill and ted frequent. when the place isn’t packed to the fucking gills and he isn’t too busy with too many bogus adult-type responsibilities, he’ll share the bulk of strange and sometimes even scary encounters he’s had with other patrons. ted’s never seen any suspicious characters with questionable agendas walking in which makes the boys question the legitimacy of his stories. whether the encounters really happened or not, it’s hard to deny the fact that mark young is one hell of a good story teller.
meet paul brooks, he’s a full-time aquatics swim instructor at the san dimas y and a part-time lifeguard at waterloo park. bill and ted met first paul after he yelled at them for ‘horseplay’, whatever that meant. since they were never given a clear definition of what was and wasn’t horseplay, they immediately informed him that the horse in question couldn’t possibly be theirs since there was barely any room for them in missy’s shiny new convertible. the lifeguard split his sides laughing and shed some light on the situation, telling them that their most reckless behavior could put them and other bathers in danger and could really damage the equipment. bill and ted swore to obey the rules from then on but more often than not, they need that gentle reminder from paul.
