From the Balki Bartokomous wiki
One episode had Larry going duck hunting and the normally gentle Balki surprisingly asks to come along, out of an intense hatred for ducks, which are regarded as vicious predators on Mypos. The description he gives of the ducks on Mypos later in the episode, however, implies that in fact Pterodactyls still exist on the island.

Listen to a story today at noon
If you go here today at noon (EST, 25 minutes from right . . . now) you will be able to listen to The Signal, which is a really cool radio program hosted by my friend Aaron Henkin (an excellent poker player, great radio voice). On the program you will be able to hear my other friend Justin Sirois (terrible poker player, terrible radio voice, awesome writer) read from MLKNG SCKLS, his book about Iraq, as well as some other good literary thingses.
