Houston Connections, If Any: Like Houston's terrain, Allan is mostly flat and unchallenging

If You Like This, Chances Are You'll Like: Plain yogurt, shortbread cookies, unflavored ice milk

Odds of Wearing a Hat: Not very

Because He/She's Bald? Allan's spiky-haired 'do is what you'd get if Dane Cook had Keith Urban's hairline. He'll still go hatless though.

Odds of Onstage Injury: >10%: Allan is pretty wiry, we imagine he can take a fall

Any Other Cheap Jokes at the Expense of His Generic Name? "Didn't he used to command the 104th Infantry Division?"
