He’s that bad type, make your mama sad type, make your girlfriend mad type, might seduce your dad type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still don’t know? Well, our ghastly guest goes by many names, but whether he guises himself as <em>Billie</em> or <em>Fuchtel</em>, you shall know him as <em>Greilich</em>. Duh!</p><p><br /></p><p>Or Chris.
