Title: Whatever happened to....? The last time we heard from or about...
Post by: Nicholas Tanek on December 23, 2013, 02:50:42 PM
Here a list of people that I was wondering what happened to them. I figured if we had one centralized list...

The Batter Butler guy
Sheila Larson
Hot Rockin Ronnie


Please add to the list.

Anybody see Hammerhead lately? I imagine he can be found in a slam pit somewhere in the Greater Newbridge Area.

Almost all of the questions/musings from this thread got answered in the final calls, which was pretty awesome.

Hammerhead called in last year and revealed that his actual name is Len Ploppleton and he's Darren's older brother!

It's worth keeping in mind that it has been made clear that the Newbridge narrative is not dead.

Here is the (mostly?) complete tale of Ronald Fuqua:

I presume he kept falling, unrecorded, as low as a human being can sink and feel.

My real-life guess is that S&W figured that his last actual call, during which he revealed that he was working as a urinal cake cradle repairman, was about as low as they needed to show him getting. Also, they probably figured they'd done what they could with him.

Still, of all the characters they've done, I'd be most interested in a HRR revival.

Yes! I'm so happy that everyone has lived to fight another day. Even my beloved Darren Ploppleton.
