Both Keyrock and Palin both emerged from the frozen tundra, yet claim the outside world has no effect on them, and see their intellectual shortcomings as a badge of honor.

He says, in that passage, ‘I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you,’ and I’m like, ‘Okay, I’m in good company.”’
