No Day But Today- Episode 20
Airdate: 7-31-06
Written & Created by Princeton
Starring: Princeton as Himself
Redboobergurl as Puddin’
Jamie Farr as Max

Open on Puddin’s studio. Puddin’ and Princeton are going through the penguins’s progress reports when Max, the bartender from Rembrandt’s, walks in.

Max: Hey, folks, hope I’m not interrupting.
Puddin’: Why, dear old Max! Of course you’re not intruding. Oh, I do apologize for not frequenting Rembrandt’s like I used to.
Max: Oh, don’t worry about it. Anyway, how’s Madison?
Puddin’: She’s fine. I’m surprised you remember her; I only brought her there once.
Max: How could I forget someone who ordered a Pink Lady? Nobody ever orders those. Heck, she wasn’t even alive when the Pink Lady was first concocted.
Puddin’ (laughs): Oh, the things we remember. Anyway, what brings you here, Max?
Max: Well, business at Rembrandt’s is fine, but, I don’t know, I just wanna try something different and I heard that you wanna make the most out of your business, so I wanted to see if I could help somehow.
Puddin’: What did you have in mind, Max?
Max: Well, you may know that I served in the Korean War, and I did my fair share of standing guard, so I maybe I could be your night watchman?
Puddin’: Oh, Max, I think that’s an excellent idea! When can you start?
Max: How about tomorrow?
Puddin’: Splendid!

Commercial Break

Open on Puddin’s studio the next night at around 1:00 AM. There had been a break-in while Max was on duty, but it was while he was asleep. Max, of course, notified Puddin’ and Princeton. They arrive now to see what, if anything, was stolen.

Puddin’: Good heavens, Max, what happened? Prinny, check your desk.
Max: Oh, Puddin’, I don’t know. I guess I’m not used to staying up that late anymore...
Puddin’: Max, you work the late-night shift at a bar, so that’s not a viable excuse. Try another one.
Max: Okay. I guess that since the last time I did this was in the 1950's, I’d fallen out of the groove a little bit. I’m sorry, Puddin’. I let you down.
Puddin’: It’s okay, Max. It could be worse. I mean, you could have taken the radio apart.
Max: No, thank you! I already learned my lesson in that department.
Princeton: So, Puddin’, everything in my desk seems to still be intact; how ‘bout yours?
Puddin’: No, Prin, thankfully everything is here. Although, I can’t imagine what would happen if you lost your “valuables”.
Princeton: Like what?
Puddin’: Like your old Reds cap and half of a roast beef sandwich.
Princeton: But those aren’t valuables.
Puddin’: Exactly.

Commercial Break

Open on Rembrandt’s. Princeton and Puddin’ are sitting at the bar, talking with Max.

Max: Well, at least nothing was stolen. But I still can’t understand what kind of a criminal breaks into a building and doesn’t take anything.
Princeton: Maybe one who just gets a thrill out of achieving a break-in?
Max: Maybe. I just hope you’re not too mad at me, Puddin’.
Puddin’: Oh, of course not, Max. Just as long as you’re still one heck of a bartender.
Max: That’s true. I still don’t know what I was thinking, being a night watchman after fifty years of inexperience.
Puddin’: Well, don’t feel too badly about it, Max. I mean, look at everyone else who is rusty even after years of their chosen occupation. Jerry Springer, William Shatner, ...
Princeton: Puddin’ Parker?
Puddin’: Hey, watch it, Prin! I may up there in age, but I ain’t dead just yet!

Awright!!! An entire episode starring Klinger!!! That was great.

So who DID break in the studio, or is that going to remain a mystery?

Funny episode, I loved Klinger on M*A*S*H*, was the radio thing a reference to M*A*S*H*?

Kinda. In one M*A*S*H* episode, Klinger couldn't sleep one night, so he took the P.A. system apart. I revised it a bit, seeing as Puddin's studio was much more likely to have a radio than a P.A. system.

That was fantastic. I congratulate you Princeton. I bet the next season is going to be worthy of your talents too.
