Pink Herring: A narrative element intended to distract the reader from a LESS important event in the plot.

This guy’s name is zoltan. He he is a pseudo-intellectual redneck who frequents various forums and chat rooms. His only joy in life is harassing digger knuckleheads on subjects that involve history and politics. He also has a bad temper so be wary when you cross his path unless you want him to hurt your feelings or steal your new bag of socks.

This guy’s name is eugene. He is a tech geek who lives at home with his mom and fixes macs for a living. Only problem is that he lives in a tiny town in southern alabama where no one can afford to buy a mac. So he spends most of his day playing online games and screwing with his website.
