 I like that little bit of history, Jeff, that's cool to know where stuff like that comes from. Chip, ok wow, you've just tossed me a whole new writing challenge. Since I'm not really writing books, just 'pamphlet type episodes', I guess it doesn't matter much if I experiment between episodes a bit. Anyway, I like the idea of trying to write an entire episode without dialogue tags, that sounds like a cool challenge. I'm not sure I can, but I've never liked using them and struggle as to when I can get away with getting rid of dialogue tags.

 And I do get using dialogue tags to create a cadence. I did that in the Jack of Diamonds episode to create the whimsical atmosphere.

 Good stuff here.
