The Pitch

February 5, 2024January 16, 2023 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is talking to his old bandmate Gary, who says to Noah, " So Dave's lost his voice and can't do the show on Saturday. You in?" Noah sighs and replies, "Dunno, Gary. I'd like to, but Ruth hates Marilyn Manson. That's why I had to quit the band." Gary rolls his eyes and says, "Oh, c'mon! Live a little." Noah scowls and says, "Ruth would kill me." Gary sneers and retorts, "You gotta stop letting your ol' ball and chain tell you what to do."Noah rolls his eyes and shrugs his shoulders, saying, "One could say the same thing about my ol' bandmates."

  It’s true that Noah and Ruth first met at one of Noah’s old Marilyn Manson tribute band gigs, but it didn’t take long before Ruth put an end to Noah’s Antichrist Superstar impersonation days.

Granny Thorsen vs. the Gator

February 7, 2024November 5, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah and Ursula have a video chat with his mother in Florida and learn just how dangerous the Sunshine State can be.

Looks like Noah’s insistence on showing a lot of bare skin might well be genetic.

Winter Tires

June 12, 2024September 30, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is getting Glen to put the snow tires on the car at Ruth's insistence due to local highway rules... even though it's during a late heat wave.

Where I live there are stretches of highway requiring snow tires (or the M+S all-seasons) as of October 1 every year… even if we have an autumn heat wave.

Adam’s Disguise

June 12, 2024September 20, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Adam is wearing camo so no one will know he's playing in Noah's Creed tribute band.

I guess this means Noah isn’t looking to change up the band’s styling.

The Bass Trap

June 12, 2024September 19, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah lays a trip on Adam to get him to play bass for his Creed tribute band.

Adam’s starting to regret all those hours spent practicing bass instead of hanging out in the desert near Roswell holding a “Alpha Centauri or bust” sign.

Pool Party at the In-Laws, Part 3

April 17, 2024August 5, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ruth's granny insists on assuming Noah is a gigolo for hire.

Ruth’s granny knows a cheap good time when she sees one.
