Whew! We've finally recovered from this last weekend! Two shows in two days pretty much left us worn out, sleepy, irrational, and devout fans of
Mama's Family on TV Land. Now that we are feeling a little bit more like ourselves, we though it might be a good idea to freshen up the shop a little! If you like something you see below, just click the big Etsy banner on your left, you'll be transported through the magic of the Interwebs to a magical place full of hand-crafted awesomeness!
Jeverton Squidleigh loves purdy girls and Italian movies, and has spent most of his life building a shrine to Squidfia Loren out of empty KFC containers. Being as he also has a severely addictive personality, he has been eating a lot of chicke, which has caused his shrine to reach epic proportions, and was recently awarded it's own ZIP code by the Postmaster General of Ecuador.
"Pips" Squidleigh is a card dealer at the Atlantis Room Hotel, Casino and Auto Parts Emporium right off Highway 40, best reached by pick-up truck. "Pips" has earned world-wide renown for his ability to shuffle three racks of cards at a time, all the while mixing a perfect Manhattan and singing the theme to "Django" in German, English, and Italian. He has been offered a great many jobs by competing card-houses, but his eternal love of the fetching Fifi LaSquidleigh has kept him in one place. He hopes to make enough money to buy a little place in the south of France where he and Fifi can settle down.
Fifi LaSquidleigh is a showgirl at the Atlantis Room Hotel, Casino, and Darts Emporium, right outside of Armpit, Oregon, halfway down Highway 40. Fifi plays two shows nightly, dancing to classic R&B standards and singing all the Patsy Cline songs that come up in the review. She also serves cocktails to all the customers playing cards on the floor, where she has caught the eye of the charming "Pips" Squidleigh. She hopes to make enough money to buy a little truckstop where she and "Pips" can settle down, serving hash to long haul truckers and stranded Space Knights.
Bixby Squidleigh was a brilliant scientist, until a tragic accident involving irradiated sea-water and an old tissue box turned him into a love-struck moron. Now, whenever Bixby feels the early pangs of love, he slowly transforms into the Babbling Bix, a giant green gibbering mess of a fool who stammers nonsense about eternal love and happiness. This goes over well for about 45 seconds, before Bix starts to drool and weep from his uncontrollable emotions. Seeking to rid himself from his curse, Bixby has been wandering the country, seeking out odd-jobs... And someday, maybe a cure.
Halverson the Lone Squidleigh rides the range all day long, searching out the dirty varmint what killed his Pa, Ma, sisters, pet gopher, and best friend Bert. The problem is, all of these folk are still around, and have been trying to get Halverson to come home and settle down. Halverson has suffered a few blows to the head, and the longer it's been since he has seen a friend, the more he is convinced that some scoundrel did his loved one in. Being as how he has been wandering the countryside for years, he's pretty sure everyone he knows has been done in!
Chett Squidleigh has been on the run for several years from a deranged lunatic that has been following him, convinced that Chett is somehow responsible for the disappearance of all of his friends and family. At first, Chett tried to befriend the stranger, but he was never able to get through, and had to resort to smacking the stranger in the head with a piano to get away. Every few months the stranger catches up with Chett, and every few months Chett has to resort to violence to escape. The stranger's stalking of Chett has become more and more intense (not to mention more random and somewhat odd), so Chett has decided to zig-zag across the country, hoping to throw off his dogged pursuer!
