Where Russell Miller got his name

I love it when a mystery is solved.

Just found a new hoard of articles (woohoo) and one provides a giant clue where the name "Russell Miller" comes from.

One rotten little trivial laborer

It's Labor Day, and we celebrate by giving you a complete script where Russell is forced to do all the labor himself - putting up the porch swing.

• What happened to Mr. and Mis' Donahue's young daughter, Florence?  There was always something weird about that house...
• Who sells sauerkraut?  If you said Mis' Harris, then you win.
• Who signs their name with blood?  This guy.
• So far, we've found people with the following first names:

  Dirty (there were two of those), (and two of) Smelly, Rotten, Messy, Cupid, Stupid, Cracky, Spider, Bulldog, Collarbone, Peanut Brittle, Oyster, Olive, Muddy, Nicer, Pom Pom, Funny, Hunky, Wee, (two people with the name of) Four-Fisted, (four fellas named) Fat, (sixteen different people named) Ed, Bluetooth, Chalmers, Boo Boo, Cincinnati, Strap, Steemer, Rishigan, Rain Brain, Rooster, Flub...

• Remember when Sade charged a guy fifteen cents a month to park his bike in their shed?  That's about $2.75 in current day finances.  Was that even worth worrying about?  Sade needs to get a grip and chill.
• Of all the movie stars we know of in the series, only one didn't have matching initials: Buck Peggles.
• Plus, all this other weird stuff.  

Rishigan Fishigan trips us up in the Matrix

When a script is re-used and a different person is the focus than the original script, then things start to get weird; this script is a fine example of this and I truly do NOT like to think or talk about such things.  Doing so makes me know the show isn't real and that makes me sad.

Still, we are blessed with a complete script: 44-05-05 Rish Fish's Short Career. 

The special relationship

There have been many articles written about Vic and Sade (and I'm proud to say that most of them have been written by the people who have contributed directly to my Vic and Sade websites).  However, I was thinking the other day, there so desperately needs to be an overview about the relationship between Vic and Rush.  It is a tender bond that yearns to be explored.

I'd love to do it and in time, if no one takes on the job, I might try and write such an article.  But you've already clearly seen that I am NO WRITER. Worse, I have no kids and I'm not sure I could fully grasp that special connection.

If someone (or many) would like to write such an article, you don't need my permission.  Just jump on that bandwagon.  But do us all a favor and please share it with me; I'd like to share it with others on my website.  It would not have to be a huge article or a giant project.

Please note that if someone would like to take on such a project, I would be happy to help in any way I could, especially by providing whatever information one would need.  I am quite adept at finding things around here.

Think about it. 

It's raining Christmas episodes

All these Christmas episodes make me nostalgic... I have expanded the episode 37-12-03 Rush Needs Money For Christmas Shopping and here's hoping you enjoyed it as much as I did putting it up for you.  Oh, there's expanded script details and other goodies.

Fun for your Friday

A brand new episode, along with script awaits you.  No, there's no audio - you'll have to use your imagination.  Still, a very fun script it is.  Click here to view 37-04-28 Reverend Kidneyslide - A Slick Talker.

Few people have ever seen this script until now.  I consider these scripts to be treasures.

 

And a Joyeux Noel to you

I've added a much larger script synopsis to 36-12-17 Sade Goes Christmas Shopping (Joyeux Noel).

TRAIN! Run, YY, run!

Did you know that we are certain that YY Flirch was hit by at least 3 fast passenger trains.  We know this from scripts and existing audio episodes. That is, roughly 20% of the episodes.

Is it possible that Flirch was hit an additional 10 to 12+ times?  It is very possible.

Bill Idelson remarked in an audio interview that Flirch was "always getting hit with fast passenger trains."

This is one of the many plots/subplots that permeate the show, like Sade's muddled money or Vic trying to sneak in a cowboy hat or letters from Bess, etc.  It just so happens that Flirch getting hit by trains is only a small part of the episodes we have.

You ever wonder what kind of jobs Hank Gutstop got along the way that we don't know about?  Zookeeper, anyone?

Another thing: we already knew from scripts and script pieces that Mis' Donahue had a SMALL/YOUNG daughter in the 1930's.  I was reminded of this because she was mentioned in the script I uploaded earlier today.  Where did she go?

If you can think of other questions without an answer, pleease leave a comment or drop me a line.

Sade: against guns but pro-killjoy

We now have a full script for 44-07-21 Sade and the Revolver. I've spent several hours digitally removing more pencil marks than a rabbit and improving it as much as I can (hey, I am not a professional).

This might be the best script we have so far in the Russell-era. I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Little Euncie goes into shock!

All because she didn't have 15 fingers.  And you think I'm kidding...

Check out the full script and a brand new re-working of 44-05-18 Euncie's Piano Accident.

And please try and appreciate this script, as I spent more than 5 hours digitally cleaning it up.

And so, it begins

Hey everybody!  I start anew today and I am very excited about getting back to work.

I start off by adding a bit of a script and changing a synopsis I had already posted for 38-11-28 Mr. Erickson, Sneaky Collector (although it was not called that prior to today - there is also a date change too, so the new information is just slightly different from the old).

Some days there will just be one update and other days there will be several.  Hang on to your wide-brimmed hats.  :)

A Vic and Sade 'song' From PQ Ribber and Jimbo

The great and talented PQ Ribber fiddled around recently with Vic and Sade and I took the opportunity to add to it this afternoon, making this 'song' one of the more unusual Vic and Sade peripheral oddities in pop culture,in my opinion.

It's kind of accident that the song suggests what it suggests.  I say "accident", however, I do think the suggestion involved is Freudian.

In case you've forgotten, PQ is a big Vic and Sade fan and plays an episode of the show every week on his Quakquaversal Satellite Night Project podcast.

HEAR IT HERE:  BRING ON THE HEADACHE (Version 2, with Jimbo) 

Did it "happen" if it didn't "happen", even though it's not real?

You're going to love this dilemma. Above is something I come across a lot: a script that was changed before the show. Paul Rhymer wrote it. He intended it to be on the show. He intended it to be a part of Vic and Sade's world.

However, it never aired, so... did it "happen"? I say it did happen. What do you say?
