Default Re: I'm Rusty Eden

Good Morning,

Oh my, I see that Muncle has found a buddy, Russ_Boston, to sit next to him in the back of the room. Now, boys, you really must settle down. This is a soap opera not a porn movie. My, my.

Russ_Boston, a.k.a. Sparky Lawrence,

You are right. Sparky Lawrence has to be a baseball player. Let's make him a has-been. Has-beens are always more interesting. Sparky sometimes hangs out with Pete Rose so they can commiserate over having been done so wrong by the Hall of Fame. (Pete will never be a has-been to me. But it works in the story.)

brightspot01, a.k.a. Cinderella Central,

Let's make Cinderella Central the actual given name of a famous and highly successful CEO of a nationwide chain of shoestore franchises. In her childhood, Cinderella was embarrassed by her name. But Cinderella always had a love of shoes -- and a love of math. After working hard to raise enough capital, Cinderella launched "Cinderella Central" where even women who did not have a lot of money could buy exquisite shoes at wholesale prices. The shoes might be off-season, but they are never, never knockoffs.

Barefoot, a.k.a. Freckles Sunset,

Freckles Sunset is one of those names that is full of imagery and symbolism for lost innocence, like Rusty Eden's name. Freckles will have a part in the soap. Lost innocence is always a plot line.

Village Kid, a.k.a. Rhett Butler Spruce,

Rhett Butler Spruce is the 40-year-old only son of a doting mother. Rhett Butler Spruce is illegitimate. His mama is a fading flower born into a southern aristocracy. She gave her son the name of the first man she truly loved, even though he was only on paper. In a brave move, she gave little Rhett the last name of the man who led her down the primrose path and then left town. His name was Spruce and he was a big tree of a man who abandoned her and little Rhett to go back to his life as a lumberjack. Now Rhett is grown, but his mother is still behaving like Delta Dawn, only she is 61, not 41 like in the song.

Rocky Banks, a.k.a. now - Rocky Banks,

Wow. You have changed your name. I love it. You will have to see if anybody notices any changes in your behaviour.

So Rocky, about the soap plot...You are a good guy but a tough guy and a force to be reckoned with. Arch rivals Rock Swarthy and Hollywood Bouck are up to no good. Those two may just join forces to try a hostile takeover of Cinderalla Central, the highly successful chain of shoestores. I think Rocky may need to rescue Cinderella herself. Even though Cinderella is a hard-edged business woman, used to doing things her way, I think she may need Rocky in her life.

kathy and al, a.k.a. Dusty Springfield,

Thank you for the great news.

Dusty Springfield is in town and is willing to play herself on the soap. But for some reason, she is wildly attracted to Skippy Madison and she follows him everywhere and sings to him constantly, "I Only Want To Be With You" and "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me". She is just not Skippy's type and she is much older than he is.

OK -- Will any of you believe me if I say I am not nuts? Probably not. And I think my insisting will only convince you more.

I am actually leaving my house for the day. But, of course, I will check back later.

Carry on. But keep an eye on Muncle and Russ.

Have fun.

BB (a.k.a. Rusty Eden)
