Title: Vance's Living Situation
Post by: betheboy on December 14, 2011, 02:15:14 PM
I have been loving the addition of Vance the Puppet to the show but I'm curious to know what Vance does between shows. Does he live with Tom and Jillian or does he have a prog rock pad of his own elsewhere? Does anyone have a guess?

I think he just sits in the corner, quietly listening to music on his headphones.  The nature or location of the specific corner is probably not important.

He has a lean-to set up behind the Newbridge Guitar Center.

I believe he is currently in a residence where he can get the treatment he requires for Asperger's syndrome.

He and Skeevy are roommates.  I've heard Skeevy is the neater of the two.

I'd say he's converted his Dad's toolshed at the back of the garage into a lair where velvet posters, shag carpeting and Diet Dr Pepper's abound but his ol' Mom said he can't have his lava lamp collection out there because of the fire hazard.

Also, didn't Vance at one point talk about managing a pretzel stand at a mall?  I think that was only brought up once, but I think that's what he does for a living.  He's gotta work, Bose headphones aint growing on trees!

I imagine that, between shows, Vance lives on one of those floating islands on any random Roger Dean album cover and travels to the WFMU studios in Pink Floyd's giant inflatable pig.

He lives in a cube-shaped dwelling fashioned out of of old krautrock record sleeves.

Basement apartment near the local record shop in Newbridge. Or possibly IN the record shop. I don't know if the ultimate music snob still runs that joint.

Or he does look almost amphibian. Possibly he housesits with Andy from lake Newbridge. Aquaman must have a kick-ass stereo.

I really do hope this is true.

His other car is a Tarkus.

A friend of friend told me that Vance lives on a houseboat but I can't confirm.

I imagine Vance has an obnoxious roommate (not Skeevy) who gives him no end of grief.

Oh man - if someone with better photoshop skills than me could make a bumpersticker that says "My Other Car is a Tarkus" with both Vance and the ELP Tarkus armadillo-tank-thing on it, I'd leave them something in my will when I die.

I've just assumed that he lives in the TARDIS.

Vance isn't a time-lord! Though that would be cool, I would watch a TV show about Vance traveling through time in a heartbeat.

But realistically I also think Vance commutes via Richard Dean album covers.

For now, I'll bet he won't for long if Old Man D has anything to say about it, and assuming Sheila doesn't hurt Vance.

Tom did a good job of cleaning off his face after O.M.D threw ink in it.

I was walking through Suburban Station in center city Philly last night and spotted Vance at work:

Did you get that extra pretzel or was Vance only offering that up as a Christmas deal?

The city of Philadelphia might not take its decorations down until mid-january, but the soft pretzel factory cut off that deal with the new year. Vance still gives you a good deal if you know what to ask for.

Check out my mocked-up, prog themed, Chris from Little Rock inspired Vance merchandise, or Vancendise as I coined it.  Anyone else with some great Vance art?

QuietComfort 15, I believe.

Fantastic, thank you! Though I'm torn on what format Vance would be listening to. I assume CDs since he talks about reissues and such but do you think he'd listen just on a walkman?

I may be misremembering, but weren't we told that Vance lives in a house with a couple of roommates?  When are we going to meet the third member of the household?  Or was I imagining this?

I remember hearing that he lived with "Two dudes".

I think the third dude is AP Mike himself. That's the whole root behind his conflict with Gary. And poor Vance is stuck in the middle trying to keep the peace.

Is Vance going to be on the next Celebrity Apprentice with Stained's hand up his ass?
