Harry "Redbone" Johnson

What, because he disappeared and was never heard from again?

Barnabas "two sheds" Collins

He was only thinking about getting a second shed.

Am I missing something?  The Old House?

Nope, it's because Harry Johnson was a brown-to-reddish skinned person of Louisiana with dark eyes and straight, frizzy or curly hair.

loril54,

Forget about the sheds.  They don't matter.

Seriously, that's from an amusing early Monty Python sketch called "Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson."  I'm sure it's on YouTube.

The 70s band "Redbone" may have been from there too.   They had two hits, "Come And Get Your Love" and I think "Witch Queen of New Orleans".    As I understand it, the whole band disappeared and no one knows what happened.  I don't mean they just stopped being successful; they physically couldn't be found.   Supposedly, the first band made up of American Indians.

Craig Slocum seems to speak like Ray Bolger.    What kind of accent is that, I wonder....

 [lghy]  A perfect summation of her serious relationships with men! Obviously she'd fall in love with anyone from a control freak to someone who acted like a lunatic nearly 24/7. No wonder she and Frank never really went anywhere: he was much too normal.  [wink2]

I think you and retzev hit the nail on the head MB. Vicki did seem to have a preference for unusual types of men. Guess poor Frank did look too ordinary when compared to a vampire, an ex-convict and a hot-headed amnesiac. LOL

Well, Joe Haskell once really did refer to Bob-the-Bartender as "Punchy." [confused5]

Personally, I like to think of Bob as the "Sultan of Stogies"! [thumb] [beer]

And was everybody dancing on the casket?

Yes, that's much shorter than "Victoria"!   Good ones...   I can see Roger calling out, "Vick--- I mean, 'Always Entertaining Gentleman Callers in Her Bedroom for Some Strange Reason'!!   Could you come downstairs please?"
