Deviant Ollam is a value-sized bucketful of free fun who enjoys all things related to physical security and many things that aren't. Among the non-lock and non-gun things that he adores are taro smoothies, reindeer meat, jersey-knit bedsheets, and surprise hugs. He will totally rock on in karaoke at everything from the Ramones to the Grateful Dead to Joan Jett to Frank Sinatra to Lynyrd Skynyrd so hand him a drink and pass him the microphone.
