Yes.

To begin with, you have to understand that Bernard is a
Christ-figure.  The routine with the toads is very telling,
but the final clue comes when Claude's gang tries to tie him
to a tree.  If you ever see anyone tied to a tree in a movie,
Sam, you should realize instantly that that person is a
Christ-figure.

Indeed.  You might have thought that symbolism was some sort of
arbitrary, happy-go-lucky game, in which you could make up
whatever you wanted and it would be just dandy.  Not so, Sam.
People have been working on these things for a very long time,
and the codes are quite well-established.  If they had tried to
drown Bernard instead, you should have immediately thought of
John the Baptist; but if it had been in a barrel, as opposed to
Marie's fishpond, the reference would obviously have been to
the Earl of Gort, who was pickled in a butt of Malmsey.  And
thus, by extension, to the oppressive aristocratic classes who
dominated society until, as all scientific theories of society
predict, the equally oppressive bourgeoisie took over.

The above is an example of early Hollywood symbol coding; other
codes are used in modern literature and other genres of cinema.
In general they are somewhat related, but require separate and
individually coherent study - rather like Spanish and
Portuguese.  While no one reference is complete, a fine book
on modern symbolic codes is the _Codex Seraphinianus_, by
the famed Italian semiotician Alberto Graziani.  Your library
should have a copy; if it doesn't, complain.

Returning to "Sleepaway Camp," that classic of the silver
screen, we can see instantly how the symbolic matrix falls into
place.  Claude, of course, is Judas - but a more aggressive
Judas, a Judas who isn't content with his thirty pieces of
silver but has to toss a couple of spears at the main event.
Clearly he is alloyed with Mordred; this sort of symbolic
alloy is itself a cunning reference to alchemical practices of
the 16th century (see Wilson on Paracelsus).  Derrick, so bold
and scoffing until that unfortunate incident with the food
processor, is of course Saul/Paul.  Astrid is Peter - the
boulders are a dead giveaway.  Tommy (remember the toads?) is
Andrew.  Mrs. Roberts can be none other than Pontius Pilate.
And so on.

I'm glad to be of assistance, now and in the future.  If you
find yourself enjoying this work, you should definitely
consider a career in semiotics.  Good luck!

Your helpful friend,
Curtis

I don't know the answer to that, but I can make a guess:

It's because he changed his .sig, and pissed someone off that wanted to be
contrary to the admonition that "Marshal Perlman may not be
reproduced...", etc by reproducing him anyway.  
Who knows?  Maybe Marshal is famous, and this group is for those that
resent him.  Maybe it's for us to learn more about Marshal.

     He was often known to dally
     Late nights alone in the alley
  Banging his head, making it crack.

One particular evening upon this street
Terrible misfortune he happened to meet
   A lost car slammed into his pelvis
   His severed head claimed to see elvis
As it flew disembodied seventy-eight feet

The head rolled and it rolled
And the people who strolled
   Couldn't help but stare
   "Fuck you Fuck you, give me air"
Cried the head as it slowly grew mold

My pal Matt cleaned out his desk and brought some unwanted things over 
to my office to give me.  One of the items is a prescription medication 
bottle filled with large white caplets.  All of the printed information 
has been torn off the label, and the word "Antiboitics" has been written 
across it in what I can easily recognize as Matt's childlike scrawl.  
(Yes, that's "Antiboitics."  Written in crayon.)

My question is:  Should I take several of these pills?
