Two things I meant to mention and forgot: (1) I don’t believe we EVER hear of Jo working at Harrison’s Department Store on the weekend in a future epsiode, and (2) “Shoplifting” is the episode they used when “The Rerun Show” did their spoof/re-enactment of it. Find it on YouTube, or watch for it here; I’ll be posting it on Sunday.

One of the problems with the coin was how close it was in size to the quarter.

From my own (blurry) collection: Eisenhower dollar coin (first issued 1971), The Sacagawea dollar coin (first issued 2002), the SAME-SIZE Susan B. Anthony dollar, and quarter to show relative size.

An early drag character of mine that we discuss on the show: Rhonda Talonsky. This is Rhonda and her BFF Eilleen Dover ready to hit the town around Christmas-time in 1996. (Eilleen is the creation of André Provencher). This outfit may be what I was trying to pull together when I first met Dr. Steve. (A character similar to Rhonda can be seen at Sleuths Mystery Dinner Theater; her name is Dolly in the show called “WKZY.”)
