The purpose of this site is to help new JABB members to learn about the people, places, and things of JABB's past. It's also a nice way for old members, and JABB writers :-), to remember past events. The entries give information that may be important as it relates to present or future issues. Numbers in parenthesis at the end of an entry denote issues in which the subject is mentioned in passing, merely alluded to, or no story-related information is given. Complete references are not given for some entries as they are too numerous. Characters are listed alphabetically based on their first names*, except when discussed as an entire family (as with the Du Bois or Mason families). Another exception would be characters who always go by their titles a la Lady Beth or Sir Toby.  In those cases they are alphabetized based on the first letter of their title.

After limiting this Encyclopedia to only newsletter-based information for a number of years, I've decided to start including plot material from the Author's Cut stories.  I decided the best way to integrate that information was chronologically based on when it was written.  So if an AC story was written on March 18, 2008 then it will be mentioned between JABB 241 (sent March 9, 2008) and JABB 242 (March 22nd) even if the story itself was set in June 1999. 

If you're new to JABB going to either the Andrew or John entries is probly the best place to start.

Finally, as of 3-28-06, avatars of JABB members and their characters will begin appearing here.  This just seems like a good way to give a personal touch with out putting up real photographs which may not be wise.  Please don't imagine that Dyeland involves the live-action angels running about with cartoon characters a la "Roger Rabbit."  Unless you like that sorta thing in which case... go right ahead.  ;-)  Otherwise, the Dyelanders are supposed to be flesh and blood.  If you're a JABB member and would like an avatar added for yourself please email me.  Thanks!

Have fun!

Numbers

1632- The year Andrew tells the girls he began to hate Halloween in N78Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200

333- Andrew's apartment number in "A House Divided."  For whatever reason I really like this piece of trivia.  Enough to mention it in the poem in N175.

A

AAA- Anti-Androoling Elite. See N16. Group started on the TBAAngel list to combat Androolism. Audrey posed as a member hoping to infiltrate the group. Why it's AAA as opposed to AAE, I haven't the foggiest!  Wasn't my group, of course!  (N25)

Aaron- The angel of death whose story Audrey tells in N78.

Abby- Fictional co-president of CABB in N134/CABB 1.

Abraham Lincoln- According to the TBAA episode “Beautiful Dreamer,” he was Andrew’s first assignment as AOD. In N51 Andrew uses his meeting with Lincoln during a presidential debate. In N55, both Andrew and an agent show up at the Dyeland Halloween party dressed as Lincoln. In N114, the Andrews of various seasons get together to discuss their past and future. Andrew of Season 5 recalls the Lincoln episode. Jess asks Andrew to prove his identity by telling who his first assignment as AOD was in N159.  Andrew correctly answers with Abraham Lincoln.  This assignment is brought up in my Season 5 poem in N170He, among other of Andrew's most celebrated assignments, is mentioned in N181's "La Vie 'Angel' Fan."  Some of Andrew's Promotion Day well wishes found in N190opt2 include references to this president.  Several of the bad Promotion Day gifts listed in N245 concern Honest Abe.  Accusations that Andrew didn't do his best to save President Lincoln would ruin the AOD's political campaign and upset he and his supporters according to N256.  An Andrewopoly spot is named for him according to N269In N272, I confess to thinking about "Beautiful Dreamer" whenever I see images of him.  (N84, 100, 119, 121)

Acinom- N35. JABB master to Yerdua and Innej. The two girls leave her to look for Werdna.

Adam- First angel of death, portrayed by Charles Rocket (N3). In N7 he is mentioned along with Andrew and Henry as having started a disco/rock band (also alluded to in N11). Debated with Andrew as a member of Hydra political party, N51 and 53. His platform was pro-Halloween and proposed no taxes.  He had a strange disappearance come up during the debate. Later he would come to Dyeland and try and scheme his way into presidential office before coming clean. Protector of turkeys. Makes peace with Dyelanders in N55. In N64 Audrey and I speculate about creating CABB (the Charles/Adam Bucket Brigade) had JABB not come about. He plays a part in some of the fictional TV shows described in N65. In N68 he appears in JenniAnn's dream in which he is assigned to an imprisoned Andrew. Yvette is announced as his advocate in N75. In N79 he comes to a meeting with Vincent and JenniAnn to discuss the plot against JenniAnn. He meets Vincent for the first time. Sells meatless turkeys in N81. Represents Andrew in court in N82, in a dream sequence. Walks in on a wacky party during which Andrew has changed into a Luke Skywalker costume and John is impersonating Elvis in N87. During a prank issue he is made president of Northern JABB in N88. In N89 he commiserates with Charles Rocket about disrespect from some Androolers, as a result a picnic is celebrated in their honor. In an idea that, thankfully, was never used, Andrew dies and Adam takes over as President in a list in N92 of bad JABB ideas. Also in N92, Annie Dru guesses that Adam would go after Andrew if he ever harmed an animal or encouraged the activity. The AOD rock band is mentioned again in N97. Annie Dru and JenniAnn gush about his long hair in N106. Trying to pull off a French accent, he serves as a waiter at the Farmhouse in N107. Later, repentant princesses serve him dinner. In N116 he alone celebrates JABB's anniversary with Andrew by drinking ginger ale and chatting. In N118 Andrew asks him for advice on how to deal with Audrey and JenniAnn when he walks out on their movie night. In N120 he and Andrew star in new TBAA episodes at the request of two psychologists trying to aid their patient. Attends the Dyeland Halloween party in N123 and confronts a grim reaper that turns out to be JenniAnn. Tries to prevent two turkeys from attacking Andrew in N125. One of the main focuses of CABB in N134/CABB 1.  The AOD band resurfaces in N147.  Joins Andrew for orange juice and ginger ale in N149Is ordained in a Triple S as described in N150Tess recalls spending a New Year's with him in N153Tries to pass off his turkeys as dependents in a Tax Day top ten in part 2 of N161To him falls the miserable task of informing the Dyelanders of Andrew's arrest in N163Opt1.  Later in the same issue, he visits Andrew in jail to comfort him.  Played Tevye in a failed production of "Fiddler on the Roof" according to N164Takes over the Lando role and betrays Andrew in JABB's N165 "Star Wars" issue.  Referenced in a song from JenniAnn's dream in N167 and has to take over one of Andrew's assignments. In N171 he and Audrey redecorate JenniAnn's bedroom while she and Andrew turkey-ify his TV room with the help of "Trading Spaces" designers.  Audrey also mentions his penchant for turkeys in her top ten in the same issue.  Tells about how the frosting-flinging feud at Andrew's birthday party erupted in N173Mentally serenades Audrey with "Sunrise, Sunset" during her wedding in N174On October 17th we all learned of the passing of Charles Rocket.  CABB 2 was written in his honor and contains memories, including his portrayal of Adam.  The site is in progress and I'll be adding tributes as they come in.  If you'd like to add anything yourself please email me.  Yvette wrote a touching fanfic, "The Living Legacy," about Adam that can be found on CABB 2.  In the wake of Mr. Rocket's passing, I pondered Adam's vital place in JABB in N177 Opt 2Teaches Gloria about football and plays a game in N177 Opt 1.  Adam and his turkeys escape to Dyeland Chapel on Sadie Hawkins Day in N178.  Adam and his "turkey-like substance" are mentioned multiple times in N179, a Thanksgiving-themed issue.  A couple items in the top ten found in that issue involve him acting quite strangely.  Tess balks at his fruitcake consumption in N181In the same issue he and Andrew make a surprising discovery when someone falls off Andrew's roof.  Adam, singing show tunes in the street, is mistaken for a drunk and temporarily put in jail in N182Opt1Andrew bails him out.  Adam helps JenniAnn get Andrew to a surprise party in N182Opt2.  JenniAnn shares her initial disappointment over Andrew replacing Adam on TBAA in the same issue.  Teases Andrew about some of his antics in TBAA fanfic in N183.  Andrew shoots back by finding a fanfic wherein Adam seduces Gloria.  Balks at Todd's plan to turn he and Andrew into calendar pin-ups and jokes about changing his name to The Adamster.  All that and more in N184!  I recalled some of my favorite aspects of Charles Rocket's portrayal of Adam during my address in N185.  In "The Uninvited Guest" (N185), Adam meets Andrew for ginger ale and dinner and some moral support.  Andrew sings his praises in N186Adam's encounter with Alexander is recalled in Irish limerick form in N187.  To Margherita's dismay, Adam is unbothered by a Dyelander's strapless apparel and thinks only of fishing at Lazy Lake in N188.  The coming of spring prompts Adam to behave in certain ways according to the top ten in N189With Henry, he sends Andrew a Promotion Day note in N190opt2He receives two Trialies in N192, one for driving the Dyelanders around and the other for his Elvis impersonation.  In N193, I'm somewhat stunned that the journal entry I wrote after first seeing "An Unexpected Snow" did not specifically mention Adam even though I remember thinking he was hilarious at the time.  He's called in to serve as the historical expert for Dyeland's production of "The Crucible" as told in "For Thou Art with Me" (N194).  With the Dyelanders, he learns about Andrew's activities during the era of the New England witch trials and also learns a little about what he means to the Dyelanders.  While he, Andrew, and Henry are interviewed by Lady JenniAnn about the AOD Band in N195, Adam reveals that he founded the band.  Attends Dyeland's summer camp's end-of-the-summer dance and also freaks out about bikinis according to N196opt2.  When a tornado hits during Dyelander's anniversary celebration, Adam suggests the party goers tell their funniest Andrew stories to pass the time in N197When it comes to his turn, Adam tells about pulling a prank on Andrew shortly after they met.  Goes on an anti-corset campaign and suffers further annoyances in the Jane Austen-themed N198I mention his "My Dinner with Andrew" return in N199.  In CABB 3, several of us JABBers shared our favorite memories of Charles Rocket's various projects.  Adam figured into many of our recollections there.  Yvette spoke about how she related to Adam, Karen recalled his saving Alexander, I recalled his inspiring during a couple trying circumstances, and Liz spoke about her brotherly feelings towards the premier angel of death.  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  Adam starts a football game at Andrew's birthday party recounted in N201Opt1.  Prompts Lady JenniAnn to suggest bypassing birthday cards featuring scantily clad women in N201Opt2.  In N203, I suggest creating a PowerPoint presentation highlighting his defense of Alexander.  Adam convinces Andrew to attend the Dyeland Halloween party in N204 and chooses their costumes.  Adam goes as King Arthur and Andrew as Sir Lancelot.  This, naturally, delights the Dyelander ladies.  I wrote a poem about his interactions with Tess and Alexander in the episode "An Unexpected Snow" which can be found in CABB 4Various incidents involving Adam acting very bizarrely make a list of things that will never happen in JABB found in N205At Lady Beth's prompting, Lady JenniAnn states that she sometimes finds it difficult to think of Adam as vulnerable in N206Adam figures into a few of the items in the drinking game in N207Attends Andrew's Christmas party in N208 where he performs the Heat Miser/Snow Miser song along with Andrew.  Adam's performance of "The Music of the Night" ranks as one of the "Top Ten Most Romantic Events to Happen in Dyeland" found in N212.  In N217, Adam teases Andrew during his date in the comic strip Yvette created.  CABB 5 features a top ten about what TBAA woulda been like with more Adam episodes and also an interview of Adam given by Yva and written by Yvette.  In N219, I state that singing "Jackson" with Adam is bound to get Tess riled.  Todd tries to discover whether Adam and Andrew intend to take him up on his AOD calendar offer in N220.  A concerned angel is outraged to learn that some (aka JenniAnn) call Adam "Luscious" and shares his/her outrage with the Angel of Angels in N221.  Featured in a couple of the really horrible Dyeland finale scenarios listed in N223In N224, Adam recalls seeking out Andrew after returning from the Vietnam War and the resulting football game.  LJA suggests helping him wrangle turkeys in N226I recall Adam's actions with Alexander in "An Unexpected Snow" and the way that impacted my life in CABB 6.  Yvette especially remembers Adam in "Fear Not!" in the same issue and how comforting his interaction with Serena is.  Liz also recalls Charles Rocket's portrayal of Adam, remembering especially his warm smile.  Adam is asked to write a school absence excuse note in N227 and using the opportunity to protect turkeys.  He also figures into a few of the school tips found in that issue.  While the other Dyelanders shop for gifts for Andrew on his birthday, Adam sets out to protect turkeys in N228.  Comforts angry Dyelanders by singing "The Wind Beneath My Wings" during his JABBy acceptance speech in N229.  Later in that same issue he also stands up for them against a bully.  The Dyelanders come together to throw Adam a surprise birthday party in CABB 7Adam receives several thoughtful gifts from this friends.  In Yvette's story in N231, Adam attends Willy's Halloween party dressed as grapes.  Later, he performs with the other AODs.  Andrew writes about Adam's hair in N232.  In N233, a Thanksgiving dinner hosts writes to Dear Annie Dru asking how to manage a turkey dinner when Adam's one of the guests.  In the same issue, Adam lists things he's thankful for.  In "Dream", Mick finds Adam watching over the young girl the P.I. was hired to find.  An astounded Beth offers to take the seemingly homeless angel to a place of worship.  In "Great Spirit", Adam comforts LJA when someone passes onto her a frightening view of the afterlife for those who commit suicide.  He assures her what she's been made to imagine is untrue and then consoles her when she reveals a secret.  In N235, Adam and Henry tease Andrew when he has to wear a Nutcracker costume during an assignment.  Unfortunately for them, they end up joining him.  I imagine how he, Andrew, and Henry would decorate a clubhouse in N237"The Masquerade Ball and Other Events" reveals that Adam was assigned to Andi and watching over her during the months when she was estranged from everyone else in Dyeland.  Later, Adam joins the rest of the AOD Band in wearing 1950s clothes at the party.  LJA interviews Adam about compassionate love in N239 and has some amusing and touching exchanges with him.  You can decide what instrument Adam plays by completing the madlib in N241Ditches "Dyeland" to pursue a movie career in N243.  In N245, I suggest making a booklet of him and other Dyeland fellas if you're gonna get stuck without access to JABB.  Adam, via Yvette, places two want ads in N246.  The first for help with turkey care and the second for a hot air balloon pilot.  Figures into my "Nor Iron Bars" recap also in N246.  Whilst trying to catch the menacing Emcee in the act in N247, Adam cracks jokes about the linens being launched from Andrew's balcony window.  Adam turns out to be the one who actually apprehends the Emcee.  In N248, I decide that an Andrew and Adam spin-off featuring a baby left on their doorstep would be fantastic!  Yvette's 2nd comic in N249 recalls Andrew's Adam-like hair.  In N250, I suggest writing songs about him or discussing him with a friend in order to get through severe weather scares.  Not surprisingly, Adam nets a few mentions in our nostalgic look back on 10 years of JABB found in N251N252 posits that if Andrew's mid-2008 beard had started a craze, Adam woulda been just fine cause he looks awesome with a beard.  One of Sarah's many visitors in "Make This Go On Forever."  Also in that story, Adam nearly ends up taking Josef Home.  Sarah is amused by his stories about his turkeys and touched as he speaks about his assignments.  Creating nicknames for him and turkey ballroom dancing are two Adam-related Olympic events discussed in N253The same issue also suggests Adam would search Olympic Village to ensure turkey was not served.  CABB 8 is full of remembrances of Adam's and Charles Rocket's impact on us.  It includes an Adam tribute video and essay from me, a comical guide for an Adam robot from Yvette, and a reflection on Adam's legacy from Liz.  Highlights include Adam's love of turkeys, his brotherly attachment to Andrew,  and the way, even now, Charles Rocket and his characters still brighten our days.  In N254Opt1 I'm grateful that I didn't include Adam in my Andrew blackout.  Promises to be at Andrew's birthday party in N255I speculate, in N256, that a President Andrew would enjoy pardoning turkeys because of his friendship with Adam.  His observed birthday is celebrated again in CABB 9.  There's a gift giving guide for him, birthday notes from some Dyelanders, and a story by Yvette in which Adam dreams that he's become Gulliver from Gulliver's TravelsWhen Andrew shows the Dyelanders his new mini-van in N257, Adam notes his friend's disappointment and does his best to cheer him by pointing out that they can fit all the AOD Band gear in it.  The Dyelanders run into Adam while Halloween shopping in N258.  He was at the store interviewing for a job as the store Santa.  He aids the Dyelanders in helping a little boy find his mom.  Later, Adam attends the Halloween party dressed as Gulliver.  N259 features a top ten list about Adam's and Andrew's run for the presidency of Dyeland back in 2000.  It features revelations like that they produced their own attack ads about themselves, voted for each other, and that Princess JenniAnn was temporarily angry with Adam.  In N262 he does an amazing job as a store Santa Claus and brings many to tears.  Listed as one of Andrew's emergency contacts in N263.  Andrew interviews Adam about "celestial love" in N266.  After rescuing one of his shirts from Alexander, Adam shares about how love is universal and connects everyone.  Yva pens a fake TBAA script that has Adam and Andrew acting like "The Odd Couple" in N269Eben makes it seem like Andrew's passing responsibility for Dyeland off to Adam in N270In N271, Adam struggles to get Alexander out of his pen so he can repair it and is later astounded to find all the turkey pens fixed up.  Among the Dyelanders who visit Cora, Vincent's mother, in "Origins."  I imagine good ol' Adam supporting everyone and heading up a star-studded musical event to aid an imprisoned Andrew in a top ten found in N274.  In N276, Nicole and I ask the 8 Ball about our chances of getting Adam and Andrew to move into the empty house next to mine.  In N277, Andrew suggests Adam might help Eli dig up embarrassing things from his past.  N279 hints that a T-shirt designed to include Adam's nicknames is in the works.  In addition, Adam asks to have a nickname added to Andrew's shirt.  Figures into a couple of the Dyelanders' responses to the mock-Rorschach test in N280Adam's impact on our lives is mentioned by Liz, Yvette, and I as we give tribute to Charles Rocket's life in CABB 10.  It also contains a link to the in-progress Adam Nicknames shirt and a story by Yvette in which Adam and Yva find hope and healing in the wake of tragedy.  Figures into one of the party games from Andrew's birthday found in N282CABB 11 features birthday notes Dyelanders wrote to Adam as well as a newspaper article about his party and gifts.  In N285, he attends a Ren Faire with several other Dyelanders.  While there he shares a story about a duel he and Andrew once had and gets a bit angsty over the turkey legs on the menu.  Later in the story he dresses as a Ghostbuster for the Halloween party.  N286 finds Adam working as an NYPD detective cooperating with the district attorney's office to try and solve a series of attacks on the homeless, attacks that strike close to home since Andrew is among the homeless during that story.  When the story concludes in N287, Adam reveals his identity to Joe (his assignment) and is present when the attackers are caught and arrested.  However, his relief doesn't last very long when their last victim, Andrew, is rushed to the hospital.  (N26, 46, 52, 70, 74, 94, 95, 114, 146, 176, 190opt1, 196opt1, 218, 238, 275)

Adam Sanders- Not to be confused with Charles Rocket's Adam, this is John's character in "The Perfect Weapon."  The meaning of his name (some variant on "man") is discussed briefly in N17.  I reviewed the movie in N20.  Subject of a poem in N156.  Sends a certificate for free karate lessons from his brother to John via Andrew in N184.  In N270, Eben-as-Andrew suggests that the Dyelanders become the John/Adam Bucket Brigade named after this fellow.  (N9, 16, 30)

A/J- This is usually used as a way of quickly writing "Andrew and/or John". However, in N66 he was an actual character in the "in-between" world. He had to try and referee the argument between JenniAnn and Audrey. The best way to explain him is: on Earth Andrew is just a character played by John Dye. In Dyeland Andrew is a real angel whose story is told on TBAA and John portrays him. In the in-between world A/J is both Andrew and John in one person. Sorta a split-personality thing. It's important to note that N66 was an April Fool's joke so nothing, not even A/J, that was spoken of happened or existed on either Earth or Dyeland and is not part of JABB's "official" story.

Alex Brewer- The boyfriend of Dawn, an assignment of Andrew's, in N264.  He murders her after she learns he's married and threatens to tell his wife.  Andrew, Monica, Tess, Adam, and some of the Dyelanders help to bring him to justice.  (N266)

Alexander- The turkey Adam saves in "An Unexpected Snow."  The inspiration for Ted and Tom the turkeys (see their entries below in the T section).  There's also an entry entitled simply "Turkeys" for all references to turkeys that are not specifically identified as Alexander, Ted, or Tom.  Adam's care for him is fondly recalled by authors of CABB 2.  "Rescued turkeys", a reference to Alexander in "An Unexpected Snow," are mentioned in N181's "La Vie 'Angel' Fan."  I recall the famed turkey-rescue scene when speaking of Charles Rocket during my annual address in N185.  Alexander's story is again recalled, this time with a limerick, in N187.  In N193, I recall his interaction with Adam in "An Unexpected Snow" after quoting a very brief journal entry I wrote after seeing that episode for the first time.  Both Karen and I recall Adam's deliverance of him in CABB 3I suggest making a PowerPoint about he and Adam in N203.  I wrote a poem about him and Adam in CABB 4According to CABB 5, Alexander and Adam joining Andrew in "Venice" woulda made the episode more watchable.  I recall making the little Adam and Alexander angels and the feelings they evoke in CABB 6According to Yvette in CABB 8, there are robot versions of Alexander available from Celestial Realm Inc.  Getting a professional photo taken of Alexander and his relations is one of the gift ideas for Adam discussed in CABB 9.  Steals a shirt from Adam in N266.  Acts quite disobediently towards Adam in N271In N288, Adam writes Santa requesting help in protecting Alexander from Tess.  (N87)

ALF- 80s icon. Whilst in an 80s flashback, the JABB authors wish to bring him back in N108Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.

Allison Chandler- JenniAnn's mother.  JenniAnn talks about a Halloween music box her mom bought her in N149Though the story there is fictional, the spider is not and really is my most-prized Halloween decor.  There are brief glimpses of her in Vincent's letter, found on the Author's Cut, entitled "How Vincent Met Psyche."  In N289, LJA reveals that her mother called her soon after she'd parted from Andrew that first night she learned he was homeless.  Needless to say, Allison was upset by her daughter's pain which prompted her to wonder if her relationship with Andrew was healthy.  And with that mindset... Allison and her husband, Robert, came to Dyeland for Christmas.

Amory- Mississippi hometown of John Dye. Inspiration for JC Amory's name in N142.  (N3, 14, 28)

Amy- A relative newcomer to the Tunnels, Amy is one of JenniAnn's students.  "The Scientist" is about JenniAnn's growing concern that the young girl suffers from anorexia.  Amy's struggles force JenniAnn to confront her own past.  Amy is also the girlfriend of another of JenniAnn's students: Hareton.

Ancient scrolls- They were found previous to N67 by a camper and their prophesies were given in that issue.

Andi Henderson- Originally Andi was a strictly JABB YahooGroup character.  She was Nigel's first modern-day assignment.  She was then welcomed into Dyeland.  Unfortunately, she became dangerously obsessed with Vincent.  When it became obvious Vincent had every intention of marrying his longtime lover, Catherine, Andi switched her attentions to Nigel.  She continued to have a crush on him and because of her outrageous and harmful behavior was, for a long time, avoided by the Dyelanders.  Monica began to work to help her.  Nigel references the troubles with her in N233.  Nigel has to make his visit to a London toy shop very short in N235 in order to avoid running into Andi.  Outside of the YG, Yvette's "The Masquerade Ball and Other Events" gives the most thorough account of Andi's history with the Dyelanders and what became of her after the initial hysteria.  The story details the discovery of an unconscious Andi outside Willy's factory.  When she begins to recover, she offers explanation for her erratic behavior.  She's mentioned a few times during LJA's interviews in N239.  Andrew interviews her about "love and forgiveness" in N266.  She tells the angel of death about how the forgiving notes and letters from the Dyelanders helped her to find closure.  According to Yvette's story in N271, she's attending a fashion seminar with her boyfriend, Charlie, while a bunch of mischief occurs at Willy's factory and Dyeland at large.  The drama with her is alluded to in Andrew's job description in N280.  (N288)

Andrea Friend- Author of an article in N120. It tells about a fan who goes insane after TBAA’s cancellation. Her treatment involves Andrew and Adam starring in their own version of TBAA.  She writes a second article, this one about plans for the premiere of "Heart of the Beholder", in N144.  Reports on Andrew's activities following his birthday bash in N173.  She sets out to interview Bill Morgan but ends up making a fool of herself in N212.  Writes about Andrew's birthday celebration in N228.  Mistakenly thinks Andrew's "Monopoly" game plan is an economic recovery plan in N269.

Andress- In N92 the mystical love child whose story was pulled from JABB newsletters.

Andrew-dyetess- N16. Mysterious virus reported by New Zealand authorities.  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200(N17, 22, 100)

Andrew- One of the two main focuses of the newsletter. According to JABB (when we're playing "pretend") both Andrew and John exist as separate entities. Andrew, being the real angel, and John an actor portraying the actual experiences of Andrew (John's character written with "artistic" license of course since we have never met the man).  You may not realize that Andrew writes a blog.  ;-)  Actually, it's more his letters to God of late.  But you can follow that at AndrewBlog- An AOD's Blog.  In N6, Andrew confronts and defeats Michael, a demon posing as an AOD. In N7 Andrew's hatred for Halloween is examined and possible scenarios for its origin are suggested. He appears in N10's DyeLight Zone. In N11, Andrew wonders about his impact on humanity and is visited by three very special people. In N24 he appears to me in a dream (as part of the DyeLight Zone). N26 lists other names Andrew could have gotten stuck with. That newsletter also includes a story in which he, Tess, and Monica are overthrown by guest angels.  Several of the classes in N30 revolve around him. Monica, among others, try to convince him Halloween isn't so bad in N32 but fail.  It's suspected some missing JABBers are with him in N33.  Several Dye Scouts badges concerning him are introduced in N34In N37 Joy introduced her idea for a show based on Andrew.  Several of Andrew's qualities make the Dye Day "37 Reasons Why We Love John/Andrew" list in N38.  Recipient of valentines in N39.  N40 contains a poem about Andrew as president and how great that would be. Anna got to interview the AOD in N45 (the issue which also listed reasons why he'd be a great dad). N51 was his first debate with Adam during their road to the presidency. Major issues were Halloween and plans. Another debate followed in N53. In N55 Andrew suffered through a prank-ridden Halloween. He recovered, however, and became Dyeland's president in N56In a take on "The Littlest Angel", God cheers up a boyish Andrew in N59N60 looked at some of the Andrew highlights from Season 7. N61 featured a poem with even more highlights from all the seasons and his first State of the Androolers address. N62 lists ways in which to defend Andrew and John against critics. In N63 he tries to help solve the mystery of strange apparitions around the castle. He also writes a top ten list in the same issue. In N68 JenniAnn dreams he is put on trial for murder and imprisoned. When she wakes up he and John play a practical joke on her.  Top ten things not to say to him given in N69In N70, the highlights from Season 7 are listed in a poem. He joins Audrey and John in forming a plot for world takeover in N71 (not as bad as it sounds, see N82). N73 gives the initial reactions of both Audrey and JenniAnn after first learning Andrew is real. Narrates N74 when a mysterious box is unearthed and apparitions haunt Dyeland.  That issue also contains a list of ways to make him look concerned.

admit to like the channel changer, shippers, stress balls, and more!  In that issue I also wrote a poem about him and he figures into the Dyeland Christmas decorating tips. N261 contains a quiz that covers some of Andrew's Dyeland Christmas memories.  The scenes in the story that makes up N262, are interspersed with excerpts from Andrew's journal.  The story itself is about his Christmastime assignment as a military chaplain in Iraq and attempt to make it back to Dyeland in time for the holiday.  It also establishes that Andrew generally provides the dinner rolls for Dyeland parties.  A few New Year's resolution related to him can be found in N263.  He fills out a Dyeland census form in the same issue and there's a list of ways his premiere TBAA episode woulda been different with a JABBer in Monica's role.  N264 tells the story of a heartbreaking assignment of Andrew's, part of which he works with Adam, Tess, Monica, and a handful of the Dyelanders.  In celebration of Dye Day, N265 contains quiz questions and suggests songs related to Andrew.  His immortality is celebrated in Irish style and his going away from Dyeland bemoaned banshee-style in N268.  In N269 he performs made-up TBAA episodes and makes up an economic plan... or so it seems.  He seems to be resigning from Dyeland in N270 but really it was an attempt by Eben to upset the Dyelanders.  He attends Mass with LJA, offers to help Adam out with the turkeys pens on Tourkia, and spends time with his friends at the Cafe; all leading up to his attending the Dyeland Easter egg hunt in N271.  In "Origins," Andrew is at first skeptical of LJA's cerainty that his assignment, Cora, is Vincent's mother.  After it turns out to be true, Andrew continues to support Cora as she struggles with her emotions and all she needs to share with her son.  The story also features a cute scene of Andrew rocking out with baby Jacob.  Just saying...  N272 contains several green ideas although most double as ways to enjoy the loveliness that is Andrew.  It also features some stupid questions and answers about Andrew's promotion.  In N273, Andrew is a bit embarrassed when his cell phone keeps getting questionable phone calls and the ladies of Dyeland have to help him get rid of the callers.  While, according the JABB history, Andrew was falsely accused of murder and put on trial a few years ago, in N274 I imagine how the current Dyelanders and friends would react if it occurred now.  That issue also contains an anthem about the necessity of freeing Andrew ASAP!  Andrew fills out the Facebook Music Challenge and Three Things meme in N275In N276, fake Nicole and fake me are angered when the Virtual Magic 8 Ball won't discuss Andrew and his wonderfulness with us.  N277 contains LJA's account of seeing Up with Andrew and also a movie-themed top ten penned by our beloved, blonde AOD.  Some stats on the usage of his name in JABB and the required gushiness can be found in N278, JABB's 11th anniversary issue.  In N279, Andrew is startled and then touched to discover that some of his Dyeland friends wear T-shirts covered in his many, many nicknames.  "The Scientist" is set during August 2009 though the bulk of it is a flashback to September 2004 when Andrew helped JenniAnn overcome anorexia.  His Dyeland job description can be found in N280 where he also figures into some responses to a Dyeland-created, mock Rorschach test.  I try to inspire some Andrewcentric day dream ideas to people in N281N282 revolves around Andrew's birthday and includes notes to him from Dyelanders and a few party games.  Unsurprisingly, Andrew (especially when holding a baby) figures into many of the reasons I'm excited for Hallmark to re-air TBAA's 5th season, as told in N283In that same issue, Andrew's obviously hinted at (along with his flannel shirts) by someone writing in to Annie Dru.  He writes Adam a birthday note in CABB 11 and, according to the newspaper article there, attempted to work with Adam's turkeys on a present.  In "Shifting Focus," Andrew helps LJA deal with her disappointment when Hallmark stops airing TBAA and she makes a discovery about him and his feelings.  In N284, I respond to my own journal entries dated from TBAA's ninth season in which I go from apathetic about Andrew to downright clingy.  In N285, he goes with several of the other Dyelanders to a Renaissance Faire where he ends up in a dungeon museum of all places.  In the same story, he dresses as Indiana Jones for their Halloween party.  With N286, the lengthiest Dyeland story yet begins.  "In the House of the Lord" covers Andrew's assignment among a small group of homeless people in NYC.  He's sent to them during a scourge of brutal, unsolved attacks on the homeless.  Andrew strives to protect his assignments, all while coping with the concern of the Dyelanders who learn of his trying assignment early on when he's wounded trying to defend a new friend.  The story concludes in N287.  Andrew feels he's failed when an assignment is killed.  Things begin to look up when Rose and JenniAnn find him and comfort him.  However, Andrew comes face to face with the murderers and their weapons.  Also in the story, Vincent confronts JenniAnn about her failure to truly realize the depths of Andrew's love for them all, Mick considers Andrew's greatest strength, and other characters also make some important realizations about him.  Writes Santa in N288 to request help in spreading cheer and jolliness to his friends in Dyeland.  N289 finds Andrew in Dyeland where he's been for two weeks, taking it easy after his assignment on the streets and resulting broken arm.  With this extra time he writes letters to God, helps JenniAnn go dress shopping, decorates with the Dyelanders, and more before God sends him on a very interesting assignment.  Later, the Father gaves him a vision of Dyeland in the future.  (CABB 3)

"Andrew"- Idea for a Virtual TV pilot presented by Joy in N37. It is also the name a fake show from N65 that parodies "Frasier."

Andrewcam 2000-  It first appears in N262.  While Andrew's on assignment in Iraq, the Dyelanders film their Christmas adventures for him using the Andrewcam 2000 which is a camera and tripod dressed in Andrew's clothes.  In N266, some of the Andrewcam footage is used for the Valentine's documentary.  Andrew tells how meaningful the footage was to him during his State of the Dyelanders Address in N267.  When Owen finds an absentee Andrew's sweater in N289, Yva puts in on the Andrewcam so they can capture their Christmas decorating footage for Andrew.

Andrew Vincent Chandler (Avi)- LJA's son who sort of appears in Andrew's vision in N289.  He's hiding behind a Christmas tree so never seen.  Interesting...

Andrew Dejon Jr.- He came to Dyeland in late 2005 after his mother told him Andrew was his birth father.  This was proved false but Dejon stuck around nonetheless.  This storyline played out on the JABB YahooGroupRecalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200

St. Andrew's Hospital- Dyeland's only hospital, located on Eirenikos. Andrew kidnaps its main doctor, Johnson, in N82. Byline and setting of an article in N120.  The psychologists there are consulted about a Dyelander obsessed with Andrew in N144.  The ink blot test in N280 originates there.  (N62, 70, 83, 85)


Andrew Johnson, Dr.- In N62 he is mentioned as being the head of staff at Dyeland's St. Andrew's Hospital.  JenniAnn requests him in N82 during a really annoying dream sequence. Witnesses light bulb changing in N83. Wrote an excuse note to get Audrey out of N96. In N120 he, along with Matt Socad, devise a plan to produce new TBAAs starring Adam and Andrew to aid a patient.  He advertised his services on Dyeland TV during Andrew's arrest as told in N163Opt1The "commercial" is available at: http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewalbum.html?alb=104275
Please use the password "labyrinth" to access it.  After the Rorschach ink blot answers are exposed, Dr. Johnson and his staff create some new one which can be viewed in N280.  (
N188)

"Andrew on Trial" episode- Originally a spoiler that was misreported and/or made up in which Andrew was supposed to be mistaken for a murderer and imprisoned. Falsely.  Of course.  :-)  It was much awaited and never came...  I started obsessing over it in N22.  From that brief mention the obsession grew!  To help me, Jennie asks JABBers to write their own takes on the scenario.  Sara then posted the submissions to her web site where you can still view them.  JenniAnn dreams the scenario in N68. In another dream sequence, he is framed for stealing the Dyelanders' Christmas gifts and put on trial in N82. In N114 Andrew 10 jokes about this never-to-be-seen plot line. In N121, it is suggested that commemorating this episode that never came to pass become an official JABB holiday. In N122 it did become official and the date was set at May 13th. N137 became the first issue to celebrate the new holiday. See "Commemoration of the Murder Trial that Wasn't." The desire for it resurfaces in N147.  A teaser for the 2nd "Commemoration" is available in N162.  N163 is a double issue packed with trial themed fun!  In N164, Andrew himself thanks everyone for their support during his trial.  In N171, Audrey jokes that JenniAnn destroyed Andrew's home as reaction to his trial.  Mention of this theme nets three sips according to the N180 drinking game.  The game also stipulates that if you read a JABB in which Andrew goes on a murder spree, you're wasted!  A follow-up to JABB's take on this theme is in N192.  Inspired by the previous year's events, Lady JenniAnn passes out awards called Trialies.  Characters in "For Thou Art with Me" (N194) refer a couple times to the Andrew-on-trial story in N163Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200A mantra about it shows up in N244.  JABB's version of this theme is mentioned by three of us in N251 as we looked back on JABB's highlights.  The lack of this episode is lamented and expanded upon, once again, in N274(N24, 2537, 57, 92, 93, 191, 210, 250, 278)

Andrewopoly- Dyeland game first introduced in N243 when the Dyelanders reveal it to Andrew.  A newspaper article in N269 lists off what some of the places are like Leather Jacket Avenue and TOTGA Railroad.  Andrew must know all the rules according to his job description in N280

Andy Broom- Turns out the angel Andrew wasn't the first guy named Andrew John Dye played!  This character appeared in a 1988 episode of "Murder, She Wrote" entitled "A Little Night Work."  John also appeared in a later episode, see "Ray Stinson, Dr."  Andy is honored in a limerick in N156Referenced in the Dye Day quiz found in N265(N124)

Angelica- JABB member who suggests a song for the N265 Dye Day play list.

"A.N.G.E.L.S."- A fictional show described in N65. A parody of the show "Friends".

Angel of Angels-  His advice column first appears in N215.  He deals with a girl who thinks an AOD is her boyfriend and an angel who endures an interesting revelation scene.  N221 has more of his columns.  This time he counsels an AOD whose assignments has a crush on him, a caseworker concerned for their supervisor, and an angel who is dismayed by Dyeland and its inhabitants.  In N248, the Angel of Angels counsels an angel whose assignment has fallen for her and a young, rebellious angel who is at odds with his supervisor.

Angel of death (AODs)- This entry gives references to jokes and writings about AODs not related solely to Andrew.  Obviously, the angel of death title comes up a lot in JABB since Andrew is one.  The newsletters highlighted below describe instances in which the "angel of death" title was emphasized.  Besides being the job of Andrew, Adam, and Henry, a discussion of perceptions of this angel was given in N3. Similar figures: Woden, Azrael (Azra'il), Charon, Yama, and Archangel Michael were described. In N6 a demon named Michael declares himself to be an actual AOD. The Grim Reaper sends a love letter in N39. Aaron's, an AOD, story is told in N78. A slew of them show up in Dyeland on Valentine's Day for a special dinner in their honor in N107.  Katie doesn't quite get the concept of AODs in N172.  I share my gratitude to Charles Rocket in CABB 2 for his contribution to my view of AODs.  CABB 2 also contains a prayer named after Adam and Andrew.  Miles, set to marry a Dyelander, wants Andrew left out of the wedding because he finds the AOD idea to be grim.  In a Q and A session found in N186, Andrew discusses his career prior to becoming an AOD as well as his friendships with the other AODs.  In N190 I got excited because a promo for NBC's "Medium" said Kelsey Grammer ("Frasier") would make an appearance as the AOD on that show.  Promotion Day celebrates Andrew becoming an AOD.  You can read the 2006 Promotion Day messages to Andrew in N190opt2"For Thou Art with Me" (N194), set in the fictional 1600s Massachusetts town of Shiloh, is one of the few JABBs which dwell on a pre-AOD Andrew.  In that story, Andrew is still a caseworker and some of his feelings towards AODs as a caseworker are revealed.  Henry is the acting AOD in Shiloh.  Hearing of Shiloh, Adam also reflects on life as an AOD in the story.  All three angels of death are interviewed by Lady JenniAnn about their band in N195.  A handful of us discuss TBAA's first AOD, Adam, in CABB 3Several items in "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200 are about the AODs.  Some of Lady JenniAnn's suggestions about purchasing gifts and cards for Andrew on his birthday in N201Opt2 involve avoiding un-Andrewlike AOD depictions.  In N202, Andrew answers a question about how his views\ of AODs changed when he became one himself after serving as a caseworker for years.  The Dyelanders plan a special Halloween surprise for their AOD friends/crushes in N204All three TBAA AODs go to get Care Bear tattoos in the "Things that You'll Never Read in a JABB Newsletter" list in N205.  They're declared "hot" in N215 and in that same newsletter the Angel of Angels also answers a letter from someone who discovers her "boyfriend" is an AOD.  CABB 5 jokes about a spin-off featuring all three AODs living in a tree house.  In N221, the Angel of Angels shows some concern when it seems the AODs' assignments are perpetually falling for them.  In that same issue an angel writes in to vent about Andrew's and Adam's behavior in Dyeland.  Some of the memories the Dyelanders have in N224 highlight the strain and the blessing of being an AOD.  LJA suggests playing indoor games with the AODs if a storm hits, found in N226. All three AODs dress as different types of fruit to attend the party described in Yvette's story in N231 In the other part of that JABB, Andrew mentions how touched he and the other AODs were when the Dyelanders had dressed like realistic AODs the previous Halloween.  N232 briefly describes the ensuing chaos that would result from an AOD strike.  All three of the TBAA AODs end up dressed as nutcrackers while on assignment in N235.  In N237, I ponder what an AOD clubhouse would look like.  In my open letter to John Dye in N238, I share how he and the other actors who played AODs on TBAA changed my perception of the creatures.  Andrew finds some similarity in the PR problems of angels of death and vampires both in "The Masquerade Ball and Other Events"Later in the story, he joins Adam and Henry in dressing up in 1950s styles for the party.  Adam speaks about how important compassion is in his work as an AOD in N239.  Andrew also talks about his job in relation to divine love in the same issue.  In "Dark Night of the Soul", Andrew feels envy when he realizes that Gloria, as a caseworker, had been able to speak up and stop a violent crime while his angel of death duties preclude that.  Cooing over the AODs is listed as a JABB side effect in N246.  The danger of having the AODs' presence in Dyeland made known to the wider public underlies the panic caused by the e-tabloid sent out in N247.  In N248, I wonder what it would be like to watch various AOD-themed films with Andrew.  N251 ends with a prayerful dedication to them and all angels.  People who disrespect Andrew and hassle him about Halloween will have to take an Oath of Respect to AODs according to N252.  In "Make This Go On Forever," Andrew, assigned to Josef's girlfriend, tells him what exactly it is AODs do and don't do.  Yvette's Adam Unit, described in CABB 8, naturally features an Angel of Death State.  In N254Opt1, I end up celebrating the novelty of running a fan site for an AOD.  And real AODs and the hope that we can bring them some encouragement are one of the reasons I keep JABB going.  In "Benediction," Andrew considers how nonjudgmental the Dyelanders are about his status as an AOD.  In "Carry On," Andrew briefly discusses AODs' typical duties during wars.  In N259, a bad example of an email to TPTB requesting TBAA DVDs includes a threat to sic AODs on em.  N260 suggests a new holiday decorating tradition: hang holly and hug AODs beneath it.  The story in N264 examines some of the struggles the AODs might have resulting from their close bonds to the very mortal Dyelanders.  Their going away from Dyeland causes banshee wailing in N268LJA says everyone should have an AOD friend in N269Seeing how beloved the AODs are in Dyeland makes it a little easier for Cora to recall her husband's death in "Origins."  N272 suggests recycling outdated clothes as blankies for AODs.  Aww.  Lady Beth expresses her opinion that the AODs are spoiled rotten by the Dyelanders in N273.  Andrew alludes to aspects of his work as an AOD numerous times in N275.  The title is included in the nicknames shirt that inspires the story in N279.  In "The Scientist", Andrew frets over potentially being assigned to LJA as an AOD.  Andrew's responsibilities to his fellow AODs are listed in Andrew's job description in N280How Mr. Rocket inspired us as TBAA's first AOD is discussed in CABB 10.  Some of my Andrewcentric day dream ideas in N281 center around assuring the Lovely One that you like him even though he is an AOD which scares some people but never you!  The AODs, and the Dyelanders' devoted affection for them, figure into the two Annie Dru letters in N283N284 contains a lil bit about me eventually coming to believe in AODs' existence for real.  All three main AODs appear in N285 where their Renaissance style garb is fodder for swooniness.  All three of the TBAA AODs work together on an assignment, the story of which begins in N286.  The story also explores how important the role of AODs is to people, including the Dyelanders.  N287 further develops Andrew's and Adam's AOD assignments and also contains some thoughts from assorted human characters about the AODs' strength and struggles.  LJA divulges her parents' views on the AODs in her life in N289(N34, 50, 52, 254Opt2)

Angel of Music, The- Played by musician Keb' Mo' in the episode "Inherit the Wind".  His name is revealed to be Jacob when he reappears in the second part of TBAA's heart-wrenching "Remembering Me."  Takes part in JABB's "Survivor" parody in N65.

Angie Maxwell- Joe Maxwell's wife (she was not a character on Beauty and the Beast.)  Joe and Angie were high school sweethearts but didn't reunite and marry until around 2005.  This was recounted on the YG.  Angie's first newsletter appearance comes in N286 when she helps Catherine at her homeless shelter, a shelter that a homeless Andrew finds sanctuary in along with his assignments.  In the story, Angie also lends support to Joe who is anguished by attacks being perpetrated against the homeless.  In N287, she supports Joe as he tells Catherine, Adam, JenniAnn, and Rose about his brother: a homeless Gulf War veteran.  Later, she celebrates Thanksgiving at the Phoenix Inn with Joe and Jerry.  She, along with Joe, attends Vincent's Christmas party in N289.

Anna- Introduced herself in N3. She had the pleasure of interviewing Andrew in Sweden in N45. (N4, 8)

Anne-Dru- Obsessive name mentioned in jest in N9. I thought it was really cute. Prompted the use of the name AnnieDru in N11.

Annie- One of the Jabbins' sextuplets. (N59, 60)

AnnieDru- In N11 she becomes "Christmas Future" and appears as a 7 year old child, JenniAnn's daughter. She shows Andrew 2018 where a family gathers to receive hope and joy from TBAA.  JenniAnn inquires after her in N58 only to find she never existed. (N63, 81, 87 [mistakenly named as Annie Dru with a space])


Annie Dru- Unrelated to either AnnieDru or Anne-Dru. She has her own advice column in N56. N50 also used her name in jest but it was not meant to be her. Another of her columns appears in N64. Her column reappears in N72 where she counsels a paranoid person who fears his/her friends are plotting against them. Her column resurfaces in N92 where she helps a woman who has Andrew-less dreams and another who believes Andrew wants her to kill her dog. In N102 she offers tips on how to become a better Androoler. She reappears in N106 during which she is interviewed by JenniAnn about how Androolers can cope with the end of TBAA's run.  Advises JABB members on how to behave when John's new movie, "Heart of the Beholder", is released in N141.  Is described as JABB's PR expert in a newspaper article in N144.  She gives tips on how to survive Valentine's in N185SourYou can find her email addy here.  AnnieDru answers some questions from a couple lovelorn advice-seekers in N202Andrew romancing her is evidence that you're wasted after playing the drinking game in N207.  A couple people celebrating Thanksgiving write to her for holiday party themed advice in N233In N283, she doles out etiquette tips to a Dyelander who had to put up with a chatting-on-a-cell cashier and another with place setting questions.  (N63, 81, 178)

Anniversary- JABB's beginnings are celebrated yearly in N25 and 49. N73 is the third anniversary issue and contains emails looking back over JABB's history. N95 contains a poem that goes through JABB's finest moments and well-wishes from members. N116 marks JABB's 5th anniversary. In the plot of the newsletter, Andrew looks forward to celebrating the day while everyone else forgets about it entirely.  For the 6th anniversary of JABB, film student JC Amory interviews members for a documentary featured in N142.  I talk about my time with JABB in honor of its 7th anniversary in N168.  JABB's 8th anniversary is celebrated again in N197 with a story about the storm-ridden celebration in Dyeland.  The 9th anniversary, marked in N224, brings another Dyeland story, about the Dyelanders' treasured memories of Andrew, and a reflection I wrote.  We hit 10 years in N251!  Several members chipped in to supply memories and fun in honor of the occasion.  (N39, 60)

Announcer- One of the many disembodied voices in JABB. See N6.


AOD Band- This joke originated in N7 in a list of possible reasons Andrew didn't like Halloween.  In it, Andrew, Adam, and Henry start a disco band performing pro-AOD songs hoping to combat the grim reaper image.  It goes onto to state that the group disbanded.  However, that was not the end of the AOD Band as part of JABB lore.  :-)  N95 contains a poem with a line pondering whether Andrew and Adam really will start a band.  N97 suggests Andrew is looking forward to school starting because, with fewer Dyelanders around, he'll have time and space to get Adam and Henry to start up with the band again.  In N147 a video of the three AODs performing "Don't Fear the Reaper" is requested as a DVD bonus.  In the story "The Uninvited Guest" which was part of N185, Andrew, Adam, and Henry do indeed perform the song "Don't Fear the Reaper" together.  Andrew mentions the band while discussing his past in N186.  Adam and Henry allude to the band in their message to Andrew found in N190opt2.  I finally got around to writing an AOD Band interview I'd been planning for years in N195.  And so Lady JenniAnn interviews Adam, Henry, and, of course, Andrew on the history of their band!  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200The Halloween party told of in N204 includes a performance by the AOD Band of "Don't Fear the Reaper."  If you find a mention of the Band in a JABB newsletter you get to take two sips according the drinking game in N207.  They perform a short Christmas number in N208N218 suggests making posters for them in an Earth-friendly manner.  The band breaks up in a really bad supposed Dyeland finale described in N223.  Henry's account in N224 is about the Band's appearance at a children's hospital.  They perform at Willy Halloween party, as told in Yvette's story in N231.  I also mention the band in my top ten portion of the same issue.  Andrew vows to spend more time practicing with the band in N236The three members dress in 1950s style for the party in "The Masquerade Ball and Other Events"Mentioned in the Andrew-themed ABCs found in N254Opt2.  In N257, Adam points out that Andrew's new mini-van has enough room for all the band's equipment.  In N262, Adam says they'll dedicate songs to Andrew if he's not home for Christmas to play with them.  Andrew mentions that gig in the census form found in N263.  In N274, I imagine the two free members, Adam and Henry, joining with others to perform "Free Andrew Now" in support of a locked up Andrew.  Andrew's AOD Bandmates regularly email him according to N275Included in Andrew's job description in N280.  Henry suggests getting the band together in his birthday notes to Andrew and Adam in N282 and CABB 11, respectively.  Andrew's involvement in the band is alluded to in "Shifting Focus."  Nigel and the AOD Band play at the Dyeland Halloween party in N285In N286, Rose, JenniAnn, and Owen gather bits of fabric that are sewn into an outfit Andrew wears while homeless.  A piece of fabric from the AOD Band jackets is among the scraps used.  (CABB 7, N238)

Apparitions- They are seen several times around Dyeland castle and in various people's dreams during N63 and N74. A couple of them appeared at John's house. Three others have appeared in and around the Castle. These last three were also in an old-fashioned picture found in a box in Dyeland. They are believed to be ancestors of Audrey, JenniAnn, and John. In N74 both Audrey and JenniAnn dream about the three (Emily, James, and Hannah) coming towards them.

Arthur Paul Roderigo Ignatius Locksley- The fake prince JenniAnn fake married in the fake N66.

Asher- Tunnel boy of 14 (as of October 2009) first introduced in N285.  He's Shelby's older brother.  He tags along with the Dyelanders when they go to a Renaissance Faire.  He disobeys LJA and Andrew and runs into a dungeon museum at the Faire.  Asher has to be rescued by the two adults. 

Audrey- Original co-president along with me.  She serves JABB in that capacity from its inception to N139.  So is one of the four co-founders of JABB.  She was, admittedly, the more reasonable/sane of the two co-presidents.  ;-)  She was also JABB's original web-mistress, creating the first JABB web pages.  She sent the very first JABB which was the 12 Steps.  Her fictional persona is a princess of Dyeland.  She authors the poem in N2.  Formally introduces herself in N3.  Her dubbing Andrew "Jack 'o' Lantern of Death" after John Dye cut his hair is first mentioned in N7.  She also authors the Poe-inspired poem found there.  Authors a Valentine's Day poem in N15.  N16 explains her membership in the anti-Andrew group, AAA.  Another of her poems surfaces in that same issue.  She writes several of N17's limericks and comes up with punishments for straying members.  When John got his ear pierced she dutifully reported on it with her poem found in N20.  She discusses the beginnings of JABB with the other founders in N25.  She answers questions about Andrew and Halloween in N32.  See N41 to get an idea of what she brings to JABB, according to me and other JABBers.  Drools over Tommy Ergo Life with me in N42In N64 she and I consider what we might have done with our lives with out JABB.  There's also a top ten about our insanity.  N67 shows how she and I have altered how we write JABB in three years time.  A quiz to see whether readers are more like her or myself is in N72.  An email history of JABB in N73 contains emails from her and others concerning various JABB events (real and fictional). Tearfully wishes JABB a birthday in N95.  She and I review failed resolutions in N105.  Her boyfriend "hacked" into JABB for our annual April Fool's joke in N109In N124 she and I explained in 10 ways that we are not John Dye. In N128 she resolves to keep me sane. In N133 she honors Halloween for Past Assignments' Day. Along with me she loses JABB while gambling in N134/CABB 1.  In N138 Aud and I go over some of the crazier things we allegedly did during JABB's run.  N139 marks her departure as co-president.  She has, however, continued to be a contributing member of JABB.  In this issue she passes on a list of the co-president's responsibilities to Doc/Karen.  In N142 she recalls her time as JABB co-president: rushing to get newsletters out, April Fool's pranks, and getting to know JABB members.  Completes N146's scavenger hunt!  Good job!  In N148 she runs with Henriette's cooking show idea.  Writes a top ten for N171Her real life wedding is marked (with some fictional elements) in N174.  In a piece she authored, she returns to the DyeLight Zone.  Various angels and Dyelanders show up unexpectedly during the ceremony and reception.  Then they all weigh in (in top ten form) about her nuptials.  Congrats, Audrey!!  Asks Andrew a "philosophical" question in N178Audrey teasing me about my sanity nets three sips according to the N180 drinking game.  She submitted some stupid questions for N196opt1In N244, I recall the day Aud discovered that John Dye may have found the JABB site. In N251, Yvette and I both recall newsletters dating from during her tenture.  Thanked by Yvette in N278(N10, 177 Opt 2, 196, 197, 254Opt1)

Audrey (Princess)- A princess of Dyeland, co-author of JABB with JenniAnn.  As such she resided at Dyeland Castle (Willowveil).  Though she has her own home in Dyeland now, she is always welcome back at Willowveil.  She uncovered the mystery of John's cut hair in N2.  In N11 she served as "Christmas Present" and showed Andrew a scene at Teri's house.  In N28 she tries to deter JenniAnn from exploring Dyeland, trying to recruit members. She instead goes along with JenniAnn and as a result is kidnapped by Kiwi and later rescued by John and Chiwawa.  Bridesmaid to Chimama in N39. Trapped with John and JenniAnn by Cliff the magician and later freed by him in same issue.  Gets lost in a forest with John in N43 and wakes up to find V in love with her. Reminisces about her high school years and JABB in N46. Fights with Chiwawa in N48 and is then nearly sent away, along with JenniAnn, for "help" by the dog. In N49 attempts to help JenniAnn regain her memory in time for the 2nd Anniversary party. One of the two anchors in N51 and 53. In N55 she at first thinks JenniAnn has a crush on Adam but from there on out remains one of the few to remain calm through out the prank-caused chaos. In this she proves herself less prone to emotional outbursts than JenniAnn. She does show reasonable fear in N56 when Tess arrives. In N58 she is at the Christmas party when Kathleen crashes it and is seen in an alternate time line.  In N63 she sees apparitions in Dyeland Castle.  In the April Fool's issue (N66) she gets married.  In N68 she and JenniAnn become like angels and an imprisoned Andrew is their assignment but they are unable to free him. JenniAnn later learns it was all her nightmare. She plots the take-over of the world and convinces John and Andrew to join her in N71An email history of JABB in N73 contains emails from her, the real Audrey, myself, and other fictional characters.  In N74, she sees an apparition resembling JenniAnn and wants to open a mysterious box. Shares a scary story in N78.  Reverts to a five year old in N80Sings on a CD in N81.  Part of Christmas movie parodies in N82's dream sequence.  Co-hosts a sleepover with JenniAnn resulting in two drastic makeovers for Andrew and John in N87. Fights with JenniAnn in N88 and gets control of Southern JABB, also writes a negative top ten about JenniAnn.  Meets JenniAnn for dinner at a pizza place in N89 on Earth and overhears a conversation between Adam and Charles Rocket. Plans a picnic in their honor. In N91 she helps plan Andrew's welcome home party and tries to deal with JenniAnn's neuroticism. Several bad stories about her are mentioned in a list of ideas JABB never used in N92Unable to write N96 after getting Andrew-dyetess.  In N104 she recites her favorite Christmas memory for JenniAnn and Andrew.  In N107, she and JenniAnn set Andrew up on a blind date.  In N111 and N112 she and JenniAnn co-anchor the Dyeland debates. She reserves the first dance when Andrew announces plans to throw a ball. She's also a bit hung up on Kiwi's chocolate-filled campaign. In N116 she forgets JABB's anniversary and becomes irritated when Andrew wakes her up at 6:30 in the morning. In N118 she and JenniAnn host a movie night and feel bad when Andrew is adversely affected by it. They argue over how to help Andrew. Helps plan the Halloween party in N123In N137 it is said she would laugh hysterically if Andrew were arrested for murder.  In N139 she leaves Dyeland to protect John's hair.  When Andrew is arrested in N163Opt1, she tries to find the person really responsible for the crime he's accused of.  In N167, she shares memories of Andrew and then goes after the person she thinks is responsible for his fall only to make a surprising discovery.  N171 contains a story about her and Adam redecorating JenniAnn's bedroom with the help of "Trading Space's" Hildi.  The real Audrey's wedding gets a bit of a fictional/Dyeland send-up in N174Teases Andrew about his "Jack ' Lantern of Death' period in N177 Opt 1.  Submits some of the made-up stupid questions in N190opt1, including one about herself.  Is presented with a Trialie in N192 for her investigate skills during Andrew's murder trial.  Rafael gets corrected by Andrew when he calls Princesses Audrey and JenniAnn and Cliff by the nicknames Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed from The Lion King.  One of her old nicknames for Andrew is mentioned in N279 (N261)

Audrey's Mom- Audrey's and my mothers took over N31 and had a discussion about Andrew/John's virtues. They marveled over how much their daughters can write about hair and hairless dogs.  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200

B

Banana Split Cake- John's favorite dessert.  Andrew makes it in John's honor in N148.  (N1, 3)

Barbara- Co-founder of JABB. Character in N25 and N58. (1, 2, 46, 49, 197)

Baseball bat, Andrew's- See "Computer bashing."  Andrew's threatening to use his baseball bat to protect the Dyeland ladies ranks as one of the "Top Ten Most Romantic Events to Happen in Dyeland" found in N212.  I suggest getting him another one to bash grim reaper TV image with in N218N223 posits a terrible Dyeland finale in which Dean really did manage to hit Andrew with the bat and send him into a coma.  I take a moment in N231 to, once again, get swoony about the bat incident.  The bat makes it into the Andrew-themed ABCs in N254Opt2(230)

Batman- JenniAnn tells a confused Andrew that he prompted her return to Dyeland in N177 Opt 1.  Really he was one of her babysitting charges in costume.  According to N197, Andrew once donned a Batman costume.  This gets brought up again in N200And in N204, he and Adam apparently nearly miss having to come to the Dyeland Halloween party as Batman and Robin.  N222 suggests JABBers would rip off the idea of the Bat Signal with a Dove Signal to summon Andrew.  Lil Caleb is looking forward to dressing up as Batman in the story found in N258.  (N118)


"Beauty and the Beast"- Often abbreviated as BatB.  When found in JABB it occasionally refers to the classic fairy tale but more often to a TV show that ran from 1987-1990 on CBS.  Thus making it the first CBS show to both inspire and break my poor little heart.  ;-)  Long before I sat sobbing about Andrew's woes, I sat sobbing about Vincent's.  Anyhow, it turned out that a few of my fellow JABBers had also enjoyed this show and so the characters ended up mixed into Dyeland.  While my original concept accepted Season 3, complete with Catherine's death, this was eventually changed.  In current Dyeland mode, Catherine Chandler is very much alive.  And has since added Wells to her surname.  Woo hoo!  For a more complete listing on how this (generally) happy couple fits into JABB, please check out the "Catherine" and "Vincent" entries.  Or visit the following newsletters which contain less specific references to BatB.  In N60, I recall BatB among other TV shows that I felt ended too soon or in a sad way.  While fretting about Andrew in N161Opt1, I recall depressing TV moments which included Catherine's death.  While not related to the show, song titles from the musical "Beauty and the Beast" are found in N167's contest.  In an old journal entry found in N193, I declare myself over BatB and declare TBAA the best.  Didn't exactly pan out like that, clearly...  I again say TBAA trumps BatB in another old journal entry found in N199.  N201 includes references to the actual fairy tale, not necessarily just the TV show version.  N208 names Vincent as my favorite TV character prior to "meeting" Andrew.  In another high school era journal entry, I recall visiting BatB web sites while at my grandparents.  This can be found in N213.  Vincent briefly talks about how the TV show came into being (from a fictionalized Dyeland perspective, obviously) in a letter entitled "How Vincent Met Psyche."  In N222, I share that it's sometimes difficult for me to be completely happy with the BatB and TBAA characters in Dyeland stories simply because I grew to love them as visual and audio entities, not printed ones.  In N223, I mention a really horrible Dyeland finale that I believe would upset both BatB and TBAA fans.  In N254Opt1, I recount the year I gave the show up for Lent.  With "Origins" I decided to tackle one of the show's great mysteries: Vincent's parentage.  In N284, a younger me journals about finding myself interested in BatB again.  Catherine, Vincent, Father, Joe, and a handful of other characters from this show all appear in N286, taking various roles in a fight to protect the homeless in NYC... Andrew among them.  (N245, 278, "Shifting Focus")
I comment about how N286 and N287 made me feel, for a bit, like parts were a BatB episode.  Guest characters from the episode "China Moon" appear briefly in N287(All photos from "Beauty and the Beast" are owned by Republic Pictures and CBS Television)


Beige sweaters- Apparently I have a thing for them.  Probly not surprising since Andrew, Adam, and Vincent all had them on their shows.  And Mick had a beige Henley which is kinda similar.  The following newsletters mention the wonderfulness that is men in beige sweaters.  In N230, a fictionalized version of myself and an 8 Ball comfort each other by listing all the things that make Andrew real to them: beige sweaters included.  Andrew resolves to wear more beige sweaters in N236.  Adam wears his (IMO best of them all) beige sweater for his interview with LJA in N239.  According to N253, jeans and beige sweaters would be an acceptable ensemble for Dyeland Olympians participating in the Opening Ceremonies.  In CABB 8, I ponder whether Adam's beige sweater is what prompted me to dub him Luscious.  Blessedly, Andrew wears it for Christmas Eve dinner in N262.  Andrew's gets listed in his job description in N280.

Ben- Assists Jarrod as Andrew's bodyguard.  Demands more pay when Sadie Hawkins Day increases his workload in N178.

Ben Bass- An actor who, like V, was first covertly mentioned by Sara in N27. Makes an appearance in N28 as Lisa's "babe of the month". (N35)

Bennie- Taye Diggs in drag.  Ha ha.  Just kidding.  But this character found in N181 is based off of Benny from RENT, a role originated by Mr. Diggs.  She taunts the Dyelanders about their allegedly passé fandom.

Beth- A small child whom Andrew comforted in the 70s. She was left alone while her parents attended a town meeting. Jarrod brings Andrew back to this moment in his past and tells the angel that due to Andrew's influence she grew up to start a half-way house for the poor. See N11 for this story.  An answer to one of the Christmas quiz questions in N261There's also a non-related Dyeland character named Lady Beth who is introduced in N182Opt1.  You can find her entry in the "L" section.  


Beth Turner- Portrayed by Sophia Myles on "Moonlight."  Her first newsletter appearance comes in N239 although she had been mentioned on the YG and Author's Cut previously.  Like Mick, she's imported from CBS' "Moonlight" which was sadly canceled after only one season.  Mick makes a frantic phone call to her in "Dream" and later tells her about his amazing discovery of Dyeland.  "Unconditionally" begins with LJA taking pictures of Mick being cute so she can send them to Beth in thanks for helping her prepare for her Valentine's documentary.  In N239 Beth helps Lady JenniAnn prepare her video cameras for her documentary and accidentally reveals something Mick told her.  N246 states that JABB shall not be held responsible if you end up angsting yourself out over Mick and Beth.  A fight Andrew and LJA have in Beth's apartment launches Josef into emotional chaos in "Make This Go On Forever."  Beth ends up helping with the end-of-life care Josef's friends and the Dyelanders give to his girlfriend, Sarah.  Beth dresses as Snow White for the Dyeland Halloween party described in N258.  Joins the Dyelanders at the Cafe to see Andrew off in N262 then later prepares to spend Christmas with Mick, Josef, and Paula.  Andrew interviews her and Mick about optimistic love in N266.  Beth recalls how Mick won her over by recalling the night he fell in love with her.  She joins Mick at the Cafe in Dyeland in N271.  Stops by Dyeland to help welcome Andrew home in N287.  In N289, Beth receives an ornament to represent herself on the Dyeland Christmas tree... complete with a lil pro-engagement magic courtesy of LJA.  (N243, 247, 286)

Bill of Rights- Applies to Androolers. They are listed in N5.  It's stipulation that Androolers get to see Andrew's bare arms is brought up in N189Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200(N48)

Bill Morgan- John's character in "Once Upon a Christmas" and its sequel "Twice Upon a Christmas".  JenniAnn quotes him to Andrew in N58.  Giver of five wedding rings in N152.  Has a haiku written about him in N156Possible result to the N157 Valentine quiz.  An hypothetical, slightly brain-damaged JABBer threatens a mall Santa unless Bill's location is revealed in N180.  In N184 he makes an oh-so-special announcement to John Dye's other characters and says his wife, Kristin, will bake a cake for John's pending birthday.  Bill divorcing Kristin to marry the Easter Bunny is evidence you're wasted after playing the drinking game in N207 Liz and I both mention Mr. Morgan in our Dye Day lists in N211.  I mention the release of the films in N212In that same issue, a Dyelander meets with Bill and insists he tell her how to get an immortal (aka Andrew) to fall in love with her.  I suggest writing a very bad St. Patrick's Day themed fanfic about him and Kristin in N214Despite JenniAnn's resolution to not speak of or think about Andrew for a whole day, Bill tricks her into both in N220The Bill movies get a plug in Nicole's Christmas to-do list found in N234.  Inspires a song on my Dye Day play list in N238In celebration of Dye Day, N265 contains quiz questions and suggests songs related to Bill.  (N124, 133, 135)

Blue M&M- Like Floyd, he became a rather strange object of the author's affections in N29.  (N48)

Blue Oyster Cult- One of their hit songs was "Don't Fear the Reaper."  The AOD band covering the song is requested in N147.  Jess, JenniAnn, and Margherita perform a version that, according to Andrew, would make Blue Oyster Cult weep in N182Opt1.  A quote from "Don't Fear the Reaper" starts N185 and Adam, Henry, and Andrew perform the song at the end of "The Uninvited Guest" (N185).  The AOD Band discuss them and their famous song in N195"Don't Fear the Reaper" is recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  According to N222, if you hear a doorbell playing that song, you've most likely found and Androoler's home.  "Don't Fear" finds its way into the Wall Decor Guidelines in N249.  Their big song figures into one of the party games from Andrew's birthday found in N282

Bob Holmby- John's character in "Billionaire Boys Club", reviewed by myself in N20One of the possible perfect mate results in N140's quiz.  Giver of eight calls from prison in N152.  Subject of a short poem in N156One of the players in a game of "Date, Dump, or Marry" found in N219(N124, 133)

Brenna- The mother of Desi, the little girl who meets Santa Adam in N262

Bridget Jones- From Helen Fielding's much-read novels and the subsequent films.  JenniAnn channels her for much of N155.

Buffy- Shows up during the Paige/ Michael/ Andrew confusion in N6 due to airwave confusion. From the show "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer".

Bunny (Duchess)- One of co-president Karen's fictional/Dyeland characters.  Meets Andrew in N85 in a fanfic written by Karen.  Kiwi's sometime- campaign manager during the Dyeland elections which are covered in N111 and N112Guest at the party in N123, dressed as a wolf.  Bunny gives Andrew a lifetime supply of carrots for his birthday in N146Corrina makes cracks against her in N155Gives her thoughts on Audrey's marriage in N174She's very indignant (and vocal!) when Nadia cuts Andrew out of her wedding in "The Uninvited Guest" (N185).  She and the other bridesmaids also jokingly commiserate about their detestable gowns in the story.  Behaving like Gloria, Bunny gives a mini-lecture about the Kelloggs Co. in N188.  She's acting as JenniAnn's assistant director for "The Crucible" in "For Thou Art with Me" (N194).  Like several other Dyelanders, she listens as Andrew recounts a painful past assignment that he had during the actual New England witch hunts.  Shares a memory of doing the Bunny Hop with Andrew in N197Sends a congratulations message to all of JABB for reaching N200 and is mentioned in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found there.  When the Dyelanders mistakenly come to believe Andrew is departing Dyeland for good a few days before his birthday, Bunny attempts to distract him so some of the others can tackle him and make him stay.  This enchanting little story is found on N201Opt1.  Dressed as the Big Bad Wolf, she announces the arrival of Andrew and Adam at the Halloween party as told in N204Finding her in a JABB newsletter gets ya two sips according to the drinking game in N207.  Attends Andrew's Christmas party in N208.  Dressed as Elmer Fudd in N258.

Button forgetfulness- Term coined by Nicole to explain why Andrew, especially in later seasons, seemed unable to keep his shirt buttons done.  In N136, I link the phenomenon to rebellion.  Both Liz and Andrew mention the undone buttons in their contributions to "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" found in N200.  In N203, Sorrow ponders how many buttons Andrew would leave undone if he met her for lunch.  Liz brings the buttons up again in N211.  Can ya tell we enjoy the button forgetfulness???  Strangely enough, I work the undone buttons into my "Top Ten Reasons AODs are Better than Vampires" list in N231.  It's Nicole's turn to celebrate the buttons in N251N256 suggests that Andrew's inability to remember to button his shirts would be seen as a weakness in a politician.  (N253

C

CABB- The Charles/Adam Bucket Brigade. An April Fool's joke found in N134/CABB 1. Founded by Abby and Frances after Audrey and I lost JABB to them in a bet.  CABB resurfaced with a more somber note in October of 2005.  CABB 2 was written on October 18th in memory of Charles Rocket who passed away on October 7th.  The page will be expanded as tributes to this actor who played "our Adam" come in.  Please email me if you have anything to add.  CABB 3 was sent on August 24th, 2006 (Mr. Rocket's birth day).  After discussing the matter on the JABB YahooGroup, we decided to do an annual tribute every August 24th as well as one or two fun (but respectful) CABBs through out the year.  CABB 3 contains some members' recollections of Charles Rocket's work, as well as suicide prevention information.  I feel it's one of JABB's most important newsletters.  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200CABB 4 features a poem I wrote about Adam, Alexander, and Tess.  I highlight our decision to continue CABB in 2007's "State of the Androolers Address" found in N212.  In CABB 5, I list ways TBAA woulda been different had Adam been in it more and Yvette offers up an interview Yva did with Adam.  CABB 6 brings us another birthday tribute to Mr. Rocket with remembrances form Liz, Yvette, and myself.  CABB 7 marks the first celebration of Adam's birthday (observed).  It features a story by Yvette about the Dyelanders throwing Adam a surprise party.  As told in "Great Spirit", LJA becomes very upset after receiving an upsetting email from someone who found a CABB site (the story is based on a real life incident.)  In N251, Yvette recalls the first CABB and those that followed.  CABB 8 features a link to my Adam tribute video, a comical user's guide for Yvette's Adam Unit, remembrances from JABB members, and suicide prevention links.  CABB 9 brings us a gift giving guide for Adam's birthday, birthday wishes from assorted Dyelanders, and a story from Yvette entitled "A Giant Dilemma for Adam."  CABB 10 contains a few words from Liz and I about how Mr. Rocket's work impacted us, as well as a story by Yvette.  (N199, 254Opt1)


CafePress.com- A site that allows you to design your own T-shirts and more!  I introduce the one I started for JABB in N187.  Lady JenniAnn is drinking iced chai out of an "I Heart Andrew" mug from there in N195
Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  I shamelessly plug it in N203.  If you come across a JABB newsletter where I plug the store you get 3 sips of your drink according to the drinking game in N207.  I look back on the time I spent making CafePress designs on my old computer in N210.  I celebrate the opening of the store in N212's "State of the Androolers Address."  The Angel of Angels mentions our flying drool bucket T-shirts in N215.  The Angel of Angels urges an angry angel to get an "I Heart Andrew" mug, drink some chai, and settle down.  Andrew mentions the shop, specifically his nicknames shirt, in N267.  The nicknames shirts we sell there inspired the story found in N279.  Adam's nicknames shirt, sold at CafePress, is announced in CABB 10(N251)

Caleb- A small boy that runs to Adam (who was dressed as Santa at the time) in N258.  Caleb had drifted away from his mom in the store and the Dyelanders help the two find each other.

Carl- See TBAA episode "Angel on the Rooftop".  Events from that episode, involving Carl, are discussed in N12 and N126.  Carl is recalled once again in N170.

Carlos- One of Richard's men killed in an IED attack in Iraq, as told by Andrew in N262.

Carolina- Wrote to JABB after her friends told her there was no John Dye in N35. JABB encouraged her and managed to list a bunch of actors.

Carrot Top- In N93 the authors state that after JABB is over they are committed to running "People for the Protection and Appreciation of Carrot Top."  According to a stupid (and untrue) answer given in N196opt1, John and Carrot Top are filming a movie together.  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.


Catherine Chandler Wells- That's right!  We've nabbed yet another character from CBS' former prime time line-ups and moved em into Dyeland!  This time it's Catherine Chandler, New York City assistant district attorney and soul mate to Vincent, portrayed by Linda Hamilton in "Beauty and the Beast."  In Dyeland mode, she's also JenniAnn's cousin.  Also, on the JABB YahooGroup, she's adopted Vincent's surname despite our never having stated that the two married.  (Update: They did.  June 30th of 2007.  Yippee!)  I actually added it just to see if anyone noticed.  No one complained so I guess it's cool!  Oh yeah and I should probly point out that unlike in the third season of the show, in Dyeland Catherine is decidedly NOT dead.  Although I do mention crying over her death in the reality-based N161Opt1.  The first Dyeland mentions of her in JABB came in N208 and its sister story (written by Yvette), The Christmas List.  In a letter from Vincent to Psyche, entitled "How Vincent Met Psyche", he recounts how he and Catherine found the girl and how Catherine inadvertently discovered she was her birth cousin.  I mention her and Vincent's wedding in N222.  In "Measuring a Life," Vincent has a nightmare in which he has a seemingly blessed life Above.  However, he is later haunted by the image of a murdered Catherine.  Thankfully, he awakes from the dream in her arms only days before their wedding.  N224 relates a tragedy that Vincent experienced while she was away visiting friends.  Rescues an overwhelmed Vincent at Dyeland's mall in N228.  In the same issue, she throws Andrew a birthday party since he was on assignment in her office.  Catherine is honored with a rather mean-spirited "Most Beautiful Bride (Finally)" JABBy in N229.  Attends Adam's birthday party and gives him a very unique gift in CABB 7.  Yvette's story in N231 describes Catherine and Vincent as going to Willy's Dyeland Halloween party dressed as Summer and Autumn, respectively.  JenniAnn/Psyche and Eliot round out the seasons.  In N233, Catherine says she's grateful to have Wells as part of her name.  In "Dream", she and Vincent are summoned to Dyeland after Mick is discovered there.  She and Vincent discover an abandoned baby behind St. Vincent's hospital on Christmas Eve as told in N235In "The Masquerade Ball and Other Events", Catherine attends Willy's and Yva's masquerade with her Alice in Wonderland-themed family.  In N239, LJA interviews Catherine and Vincent about parental love in the wake of their adoption of Jacob.  A tabloid, described in N247, suggests she and Vincent are divorcing.  One of Sarah's many visitors in "Make This Go On Forever."  In N254Opt1, I recount the year I gave  up watching Catherine and Vincent for Lent.  She helps console JenniAnn after Flick dies in "Benediction."  In N258, she's dressed as Titania for Halloween.  Attends the Dyeland Christmas Eve dinner in N262.  Andrew interviews her, Vincent, and Father about "love through the generations" in N266.  Catherine shares how the love her parents had for her, informs her life as a wife, mother, and daughter-in-law.  She helps lil Jacob find the Easter eggs hidden in Dyeland in N271.  Catherine is at her beloved husband's side as he begins to learn the truth about his parents in "Origins" and consoles Vincent when he grows troubled.  In "The Scientist," her attempts to help her cousin, JenniAnn, overcome an eating disorder in 2004 are outlined.  In thanks for all their help with her shelter, Catherine sends the Dyelanders on a trip to a Renaissance Faire in N285.  The story in N286 is set during the earliest days of Catherine's homeless shelter, the Phoenix Inn.  Andrew, assigned to a group of homeless people and living on the streets himself, is forced to seek solace there after a particularly troubling turn of events.  In N287, Catherine faces the task of helping the Dyelanders and inhabitants of the Phoenix Inn grieve after tragedy strikes.  She also hosts a Thanksgiving dinner there.  In N288, Vincent thanks Santa on Catherine's behalf for her childhood Easy Bake Oven.  N289 finds Catherine helping her cousin select a Christmas party dress, fretting over Vincent as he mourns his parents, keeping the holiday spirit alive at the Phoenix, and more.  (All photos from "Beauty and the Beast" are owned by Republic Pictures and CBS Television)

CBS- The network that brought us "Beauty and the Beast," "Tour of Duty, "Moonlight," and (most importantly) "Touched by an Angel" and then took them away...  We have a very complicated relationship with the Eye here at JABB.  You can read about it starting in N4 when we pray CBS doesn't cancel TBAA.  In N6, a CBS special report reveals the existence both of Andrew and a demon named Michael.  In N12 people were asked to write Les Moonves (head of CBS) to save TBAA's sister show "Promised Land."  N18 starts a petition drive we had to let CBS know we wanted JD/Andrew to get more screentime on TBAA.  Discussion of the petition continues in N19In N45, Andrew marvels at CBS' ability to find an actor who looks so much like him.  Things get rocky for CBS and us in N54 when they kept pre-empting TBAA for stupid football.  In a move that seemed to signify "the beginning of the end," CBS moved TBAA to Saturday nights in 2001.  Coverage in N70N83 contains a New Year's resolution to not make jokes at CBS' expense.  It was already broken by the time the issue was sent.  N90 gives tips on proper and improper ways of petitioning CBS to pick up the show for a 9th season.  N91 features a story about the Dyelanders waiting for an announcement on whether CBS would renew TBAA or not.  N98  suggests members may have left CBS some voicemails demanding they account for Andrew's absenceN106 contains the first mention of CBS canceling our beloved show...  In N112, the villainous Kiwi applauds CBS' decision to cancel TBAA.  An emergency kit for surviving without TBAA, described in N119, includes a CBS Eye dartboard.  They're mentioned in a couple quiz answers in N128N135 suggests writing CBS to request TBAA Christmas movies.  If only...  In a change of pace, I recall their Jesus movie starring Jeremy Sisto in N161Opt1.  In N177Opt 2 I mention "Christy," another series CBS gaveth and then tooketh.  N231 contains the first reference in a newsletter to "Moonlight": a show CBS definitely done wrong!  N239 mentions CBS picking up our lovely vampire show for 4 more episodes... the last 4 episodes.  A TV show that seems disturbingly familiar to Andrew is being filmed for CBS in N243N244 has 2002 me writing CBS, frantically it seems.  In N246, I jokingly request a lawyer to sue them!  N247 is the first word on "Moonlight's" cancellation.  It's getting all too familiar...  Suing CBS comes up again in N250, this time in regards to the TBAA S5 DVD delay.  N253 features a couple Dyeland Olympics events that involve fighting them for those DVDs.  In my N254Opt1 blog, I suggest CBS would be a good Seth in the myth of Isis and Osiris.  The network's cancellation of Andrew and Co. would not bode well in any political campaign Andrew became involved in according to N256.  They're prime targets for our drive to get the rest of TBAA on DVD.  Contact information is given in N259.  According to N263, if a JABBer took Monica's role in TOTGA, CBS woulda cancelled TBAA due to the creepy, infatuated new character!  N272 mentions buying out CBS and Paramount to get TBAA DVDs... using bake sale proceeds.  (N37, 42)

Celeste- Also known as Callisto from "Xena". She apparently quit that and plotted against the Trio along with Sam and Rafael in N26. She plays a part in some of the fictional TV shows described in N65.  Claudia mentions her in N162.

Charles Dickens- His "A Christmas Carol" served as inspiration for N12. His story is again parodied in N126 and N127. A couple of the JABB stories that are inspired by his work lend questions for the Christmas quiz found in N261.  (N113)

Charles Rocket- His portrayal of Adam was first mentioned in N3.  Meets Adam for pizza in N89 and discusses the behavior of Androolers. The co-presidents over-hear and plan a picnic for the two.  Abby and Frances gush over his film work in CABB 1 aka N134/CABB 1.  In N147 a pilot with he and John Dye reprising their AOD roles is requested.  Mr. Rocket entered into immortality on October 7th 2005.  Our condolences and prayers to his family and friends.  In his memory, CABB 2 was written on October 18th after news of his passing was made public.  The site is in progress and I'll be adding tributes as they come in.  If you'd like to add anything yourself please email me.  I discuss my reaction to his passing in my hiatus blog found in N177 Opt 2.  At the end of N177 Opt 1, I explain how that issue (which included Adam) was written a month before Mr. Rocket's passing.  I briefly reiterate his esteemed place in TBAA history and Adam's vital place in JABB.  I again return to recalling his impact on JABB and my view of AODs in N185.  That issue also provides a link and phone number for suicide prevention information.  We at JABB encourage you to utilize whatever resources you have to get help if you're feeling suicidal.  Several of us shared our memories of his work and its impact on us in CABB 3.  That issue also gave some important suicide prevention resources.  I thank him in CABB 4 for inspiring the poem found there that I wrote about Adam and Alexander.  I recall reading about his death on CNN.com in N210.  In N212, I mention our decision to continue CABB in tribute to him.  I mention the mystery of touched.com having him listed in the cast for the episode "The Heart of the Matter" when he doesn't actually appear in the episode in N213CABB 5 features at top ten about Adam, an interview with him, and much thanks to Mr. Rocket with out whom Adam wouldn't exist.  In CABB 6 we again mark the occasion of Charles Rocket's birthday by fondly remembering him.  I recall all the times my dad and I went turkey-watching because of Adam and also making the little Adam and Alexander yarn angels.  In the same issue, Yvette recalls several of Mr. Rocket's film and TV roles and states her belief that now he knows the great impact he had.  Liz remembers his friendly and warm smile and his ability to give us hope in his role as Adam.  I suggest linking his film "Hocus Pocus" to schoolwork in N227I plug his performance in "Hocus Pocus" in N231"Great Spirit" is a story I wrote, featuring Adam and LJA, after someone sent me some comments I was upset by and felt to be disrespectful of Mr. Rocket.  In N251, while looking back on our 10 years as a group, some of us recall Charles Rocket's contribution as Adam and our coming together to cope after his death.  A few of us came together, once again, to honor Mr. Rocket's legacy in CABB 8Thanked by Yvette in N278CABB 10 is our annual memorial issue for 2009.  It features some musings from Liz, Yvette, and I about how Mr. Rocket has impacted us.  (N52, 69, 182Opt2, 199, 238)

Charlie Bucket- From Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  This character was brought into our Dyeland stories by Yvette, along with Willy.  Charlie rescues Andi after finding her, unconscious, outside Willy's factory in "The Masquerade Ball and Other Events"His first appearance in a JABB newsletter comes with Yvette's story in CABB 9.  A young Charlie appears on board Capt. Mick's ship.  Willy talks about taking him on as an apprentice in N266.  He also appears briefly in that story after Andrew finishes interviewing Andi.  Is in Paris with Andi during the (mis)adventures described in N271.  (N288)

Her pregnancy was announced by Chiwawa in N49. Mother of 6 puppies, announced in N57. In an alternate universe depicted in N58, she was never freed from Kiwi.  Chimama's and Chiwawa's wedding ranks as one of the "Top Ten Most Romantic Events to Happen in Dyeland" found in N212(N55, 60, 63, 64, 67, 87, 95, 176)

Chiwawa Jabbins- JABB mascot (named so in N12). He lives in Dyeland Castle but visits Northern Ireland fairly regularly. Recipient of John's shorn locks. Devours Teri's cookies in N11. N16 lists reasons for Chiwawa being named so. First meets John in N19 at a bar. There they discuss starting The Dye Dog for Hair Club. Brings John to rescue Audrey and JenniAnn from Kiwi in N28. In N36 "Watch with me Chiwawa" was based on our mascot. He also joined the co-presidents singing on "A Very Andrew Holiday CD". In N39 he married Chimama.

A plush in his likeness was sold in N81 and he again sings on a CD. He returns from his summer vacation to Ireland in N97. His run for Dyeland president is announced in N110However, he must have a had change of heart because in the next issue he is no longer a candidate.  Felicia shows Andrew photos of the dog during Andrew's first visit with the Dyelanders, as told in N159Replaced as mascot by Jab Jab Binks in N165.  After learning of Andrew's temptation, he shares his memory of how he helped the angel in the past in N167.  Shows up at Audrey's wedding in N174.  Chiwawa, among others, weighs in regarding Audrey's marriage in a top ten found in the same issue.  A bizarrely clad Adam prompts him to jump off a roof in N179Chiwawa or one of his family members appearing in a JABB issue warrants two sips according to the N180 drinking game.  He and JABB's other talking dog characters are mentioned in N181's "La Vie 'Angel' Fan."  According to N196opt1, Chiwawa ate the periods that used to be used to spell out J.A.B.B.  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  The Jabbins' wedding ranks as one of the "Top Ten Most Romantic Events to Happen in Dyeland" found in N212.  Chiwawa and his tool belt are mentioned in a suggested motto found in N215.  He and Dawg destroy Dyeland in a bad finale idea listed in N223 (N2, 10, 15, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 29, 31, 32, 34, 41, 49, 50, 77, 92, 95, 113, 121, 124, 136, 138, 176)

Chris Hansen- This Dateline NBC newscaster/investigator is first mentioned in N202 with the suggestion that Andrew teams up with him and bashes internet predator's computers after Mr. Hansen interrogates them.  He reappears in his "To Catch an ID Thief" guise in N273.

Christina Rossetti- A line from one of her poems is the title of "We Trust in Thee," the story found in N264.  Others of her poems also figure into the plot line of that story.

Chronicles of Narnia, The- Beloved series of books for children of all ages written by C.S. Lewis.  Besides the magical Narnia having some influence on my creation of Dyeland, the series has been mentioned in a handful of JABB issues.  Lady JenniAnn tries to stall her departure from Dyeland by enticing Andrew with watching the trailer of the 2005 film version in N169.  In N179, the film inspires two items in the top ten.  Lady JenniAnn tries to get to Narnia in N182Opt1.  Andrew and Lady JenniAnn paraphrase a quote from the series in N223.  A dying girl finds comfort in Vincent's Aslan-like features in N224(CABB 9)

Cira- A young homeless woman introduced in the story begun in N286.  Cira was Catherine's first guest at the Phoenix Inn.  She leads a wounded Andrew there, setting off the events that will bring the Dyelanders into play as he struggles to keep his assignments safe.  In N287, Cira grieves for a friend and eventually learns Andrew's true identity.  In N289, we learn Cira has accepted a position as Catherine's assistant at the Phoenix.  She's present as the Dyelanders join the shelter inhabitants for some Christmas festivities.


Clara- The archangel in "A Joyful Noise". She appears in N58 and shows JenniAnn that life would not be better if she never came to Dyeland. She plays a part in some of the fictional TV shows described in N65.

ClaudiaSharon- Shares her memories of TBAA and how she came to be a fan in N162.  Commemorates Charles Rocket in CABB 2.  She sends congratulations to Andrew on the 141st anniversary of his promotion in N190opt2Contributed items to the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200

He later discovered the narrator was his wife Daisy and they now live happily together on The Magician's Island. Tallies the votes for president in N56. Attends the Christmas party in N58. Watches over Dyeland City along with Daisy in N68 after Adam has to leave because of an emergency concerning Andrew. In N74 he helps build the Planetarium in Dyeland. In N82 its revealed he helped a paranoid JenniAnn build a tunnel system to hide in. Witnesses light bulb changing in N83. He helps prepare a party for Andrew and to celebrate the homecoming of his son Matt in N91. He also alerts everyone to a news program about TBAA's future in this issue. Helps with trying to find the murderer of whose crime Andrew is accused in N163Opt1.  Bails out the other Dyelanders not once but twice in N167 when they go to try and keep Andrew from falling.  Aids with the harvest segment of the October Fun Festival in N177 Opt 1 and teases Andrew.  In one of my N178 spoilers, one of his spells causes all of Dyeland to be able to speak only in song lyrics.  Is kept from his planned cruise when his son unexpectedly returns home for Christmas in N181.  In "The Uninvited Guest" (N185), Lady JenniAnn explains her sudden appearance on Andrew's bus by saying Cliff is teaching some of the Dyelanders to teleport.  Is presented with a Trialie in N192 for his investigate skills during Andrew's murder trial.  In N251 I make it known that the John who appeared in Dyeland was actually an actor named George that was hired by Cliff to pretend to be JD.  In "Make This Go On Forever," Cliff ensures that a portal is available to get the Dyelanders to and from Josef's brownstone as they maintain vigil at Sarah's bedside.  (N67, 73, 88, 165, 186, "The Scientist")


(Available at JABB's CafePress.com Store)

Coffee- Monica's propensity for drinking coffee was a running gag on "Touched by an Angel."  So it's appropriate that coffee in several glorious forms has a place in JABB.  I can tell you there are sections of this website that simply would not exist with out a few well-timed cups of joe.  Java has worked its way into several newsletters starting with N26, one of our more bizarre issues, in which Rafael locks Monica up after plying her with mocha lattes.  JenniAnn sings about cups of cappuccino to pass the time in N28.  Andrew confesses to enjoying watching Monica under the influence of too much cappuccino in N34.  In N49 Audrey is surprised to not find JenniAnn enjoying her usual morning coffee.  However, by N58 she has returned to her morning ritual.  In a "Friends" parody in N65, Andrew and Co. all hang out at a coffeehouse.  JenniAnn hopes to introduce Vincent to a variety of coffee drinks in N73.  In N74 Andrew uses coffee to get JenniAnn away from Vincent so the two guys can talk about some trouble in Dyeland.  JABBers use Monica's addiction to elicit an adorable, worried look from Andrew in the same issue.  In N88 JenniAnn complains that Audrey never refills the coffee pot.  Andrew admits to being excited for the school year to start in N97 because the study groups will give Monica someone to sip coffee with.  Andrew's habit of getting coffee with Monica is mentioned in N99.  Andrew urges students to relax and enjoy a latte with Monica during study breaks in N119.  Dyeland psychologists try to bribe Monica to appear on their version of TBAA by getting her a case of mocha latte in N120.  The party-planners in N123 indulge in the brew.  Expecting John Dye to do coffee runs for you is discouraged in N133.  When asked what she'd do if Andrew were arrested in N137, Monica says she'd bring him coffee.  JenniAnn is frustrated in N142 when she takes Andrew to couples' therapy and discovers there's a bit more to it than sipping coffee and kvetching.  Monica insists coffee should go in the cake Andrew is baking in N148.  Andrew is dismayed when Monica dresses as a latte in N149.  Monica enjoys a latte as the Dyelanders recall treasured holiday memories in N153.  Andrew, JenniAnn, and Jess go to meet Monica at the Café and stop her from ordering another latte in N154.  In the ultra-fictional N160, distressed Monica and JenniAnn down 10 gallons of mochas and chais after Andrew marries.  I emotionally recall Andrew sneaking Monica coffee in "Voice of an Angel" in N161Opt1.  In N163Opt1, Monica presents Andrew with a thermos of orange juice and ginger ale as payback for that.  My coffee-loving dog, Josh, talks about his favorite coffee beverages in N172.  In N177Opt1, Andrew frets that Monica may have overloaded the treats she brought to the party with coffee.  Andrew ends his Q & A session in N178 to meet Monica for mochas.  In N179 Monica is told not to baste the turkey in coffee and RENT-inspired JABBers use cups of coffee they've imbibed (among other things) to measure a year.  JABBers experiencing winter weather are said to drink large amounts of it in N180.  I suggest playing the JABB drinking game posted there with mocha lattes.  Lattes are celebrated in the "La Vie 'Angel' Fan" song in N181.  Andrew meets Monica for some and willingly doles it out to Dyeland's tipsy New Year's Eve revelers in N182Opt1.  Jess, JenniAnn, and Andrew head to the Dyeland café at the end of N183, assumedly to imbibe some coffee or similar.  Monica and Andrew are getting coffee yet again in N184.  Andrew tries to get Margherita to drink some chai tea with him in N188.  Several Dyelanders, especially Lady Beth, gather in Monica's Cafe for various caffeinated beverages in the same issue.  Monica's standard coffee order changes with the warm spring weather according to N189.  Monica's congratulations message to Andrew in N190opt2 ends with a wish to meet with him for coffee.  Andrew promises he'll sneak Monica coffee if she ever needs him to during the Trialies covered in N192.  Monica refuses to make anything but coffee-themed crafts at summer camp according to N196opt2.  It's also mentioned in a campfire song available there.  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200A sarcastic answer to a question in N202 states that Andrew can turn ginger ale into cappuccino among other miraculous abilities.  I mention the importance of having some at work in N203.  Lady JenniAnn has one before viewing "The Violin Lesson" with Jess O., Lady Beth, and Andrew in N206A suggested beverage to have on hand for the drinking game in N207.  In N211, I list the yummyness of frappuccinos as something I learned from Andrew.  I suggest trying to dye coffee green in N214.  Much to Tess' chagrin, Monica has a cup of coffee and tries to get more in N223I suggest enjoying some mocha during a storm in N226Tess writes an excuse note in N227 in which she complains about the abundance of caffeinated products in schools.  Monica has to be stopped from downing multiple cups while preparing for Adam's birthday party in CABB 7Monica names it as what she's most grateful for in N233.  LJA mentions meeting Monica for coffee and then drinking waaay too much in N241.  Increased caffeine usage may be a symptom of JABB exposure according to N246.  Andrew meets Joshua to discuss something that's bothering him over coffee in "Man of No Reputation."  Joshua works a minor miracle when Andrew nearly chokes on his coffee.  In N254Opt1, I describe losing my taste for coffee while taking a break from Andrew.  I blame over-indulgence in coffee for most of N256Andrew intends to treat the Dyelander ladies to coffee after they organize his closet in "Carry On" but things don't go according to plan.  N260 suggests using coffee to lure Monica to Dyeland so she can be questioned about Andrew.  Brought in from the Cafe for Christmas dinner in N262Coffee and related products are indulged in by several Dyelanders in N271's Cafe scene.  Darling boy that he is, Andrew has chai ready for LJA in N279.  LJA dreamily recalls morning coffee with Andrew in N286, several characters imbibe in that story... they need to.  N289 mentions the coffee cup ornament on the Dyeland tree that symbolizes Monica.  In addition, Andrew gets her a coffee-themed scarf for Christmas.  (N8, 158, 174, 212, 247)

Colin Firth- Another of my (and by extension Lady JenniAnn's) crushes but not to the extent of mine/hers for Andrew.  Andrew suggests having a day to celebrate the actor just to get JenniAnn to focus on someone other than himself for a day in N150.  His Mark Darcy is mentioned in N155.  In N179's top ten, Andrew mimics his famed wet shirt scene from "Pride and Prejudice."  I urge JABBers to go watch the lake-jumping scene from "P&P" in N198.  In N284, I jokingly ask Andrew to release me so I can admire Mr. Firth's work.  (N114)

Colleen- My friend who sends N170 for me.  She mistakenly thinks JABB is actually about British actor John Hurt.  (N176, 177 Opt 2)


Commemoration of the Murder Trial that Wasn't (then Was)- A JABB "holiday" celebrated on May 13th. In N137 the JABBers reflect on what they would do if Andrew were arrested. A teaser for the following Commemoration is available at the end of N162See "Andrew on trial episode" entry.  N163 is a double issue with a trial themed story *and* quiz.  In N164, Andrew himself thanks everyone for their support during his trial.  In N192, I renamed the holiday adding "then Was" since, for the Dyelanders at least, there really was a murder trial in 2005.  Eben brings Andrew's arrest up in N270.  In N274, I suggest things that might happen if Andrew were arrested and put on trial in N274.  There are also lyrics to the song "Free Andrew Now" inspired by that imagined event.  The story about this is mentioned in Andrew's job description in N280(N191)

Computer bashing- Andrew destroys Internet predator Dean's computer in the episode "Pandora's Box" with a baseball bat.  Andrew Six carries a baseball bat in N114 in remembrance of this.  In N129, my mom even says how impressive the act was.  The incident is jokingly referred to in N135 when someone is told to hit their VCR with a bat.  The incident is described in a newspaper clipping found in N159.  Gloria alludes to this in her testimony as told in N163Opt1.  This event is again recalled in the last stanza of the Season 6 poem in N175.  It's suggested that replacing Andrew's baseball bat with a shillelagh and going puter-bashing may be a nice St. Paddy's Day festivity in N187.  Gloria wins a Trialie in N192, partly for her amusing testimony during Andrew's murder trial that alluded to the computer bashing incident.  I claim Andrew bashes the puters of the men busted by Dateline NBC's "The Catch a Predator" in N202.  On the eve of saying good bye to my old computer in N210, I allude to a few times I wished I had Andrew's bat with which to bash it.  I list this famed scene again as a favorite moment in N211.  This incident makes it into the Andrew-themed ABCs in N254Opt2N255 contains a couple jokes about Andrew, bats, computers, and pinatas.  (N183)


Concussion moments- Term coined by Sara on the JABB YahooGroup list.  Refers to scenes during TBAA especially when fans get so wrapped up in the show and what Andrew is experiencing that they nearly go into the TV to join him.  Assumedly to bring comfort.  Obviously this results in banged heads hence "concussion moment."  I refer to one such scene in N133.

Cora Marie (O'Connell) Cleary- An assignment of Andrew's in June 2009.  After a psychic dream and the discovery of a series of clues, the Dyelanders conclude that Cora is Vincent's mother.  "Origins" tells the story of her reunion with her son and her love for his father, Lor.  Only weeks after their reunion, Cora is taken Home by Andrew but not before leaving her son with her love and her memories of the romance that brought him into being.  The discovery of her and her reunion with Vincent inspires an item in Andrew's job description in N280.  In N287, Catherine moves the inhabitants of the Phoenix Inn to Cora's home briefly for respite after tragedy strikes.  N289 begins with a flashback to a very pregnant Cora who is struggling with Lor's death at Christmas.  And then she finds a letter from him...  Later, in 2009, Vincent adds an ornament to the Dyeland tree to symbolize she and Lor.

Cordis- In N130 she submits an item to our "Forty One Reasons We Like John on His 41st Birthday" list.

Corrina- One of co-president Karen's fictional characters.  Reveals contents of JenniAnn's diary in N155 and proceeds to make fun of JenniAnn's fondness for Andrew, cooking skills, and oh-so-much more.  Also admits to having kidnapped Vincent some time earlier in this issue and disses Karen.

Count Andre Friendelli- Andrew's soap opera name in N76.

Countess Jennifer- Jennifer's Dyeland alter ego.  Lives at Harmonic Hollow in Asteri, Dyeland.  In N86 she welcomes many of the "Lord of the Rings" characters into Dyeland.  Andrew agrees to Legolas' offer to watch over her in this issue.  Legolas' campaign manager in N111 and N112. Tells a story about how Andrew once ate lembas bread with out understanding its appetite-squelching qualities in N197Helps plan Andrew's birthday party in N201Opt1 and becomes involved in the ensuing chaos.  She attends the Dyeland Halloween party dressed as a tornado in N204Finding her in a JABB newsletter gets ya two sips according to the drinking game in N207Attends Andrew's Christmas party in N208 where she catches up with her friend, Legolas.  Vows to spend more time in Dyeland City in N209Opt1.  Andrew tells Nigel about riding horses with Countess Jennifer in N224.  She wins an award for her veterinary advice in N229.  Helps prepare Andrew's place for Adam's birthday party in CABB 7.  In Yvette's story in N231, she attends Willy's Halloween party dressed as a tiger.  In "The Masquerade Ball and Other Events", she dresses up as the host from CabaretIn N239, LJA interviews Countess Jennifer about love of pets.  Restrains an enraged Mick in N243.  Later she urges the women of Dyeland to let Andrew see the mysterious storage room in Willowveil Castle.  She feigns dismay over Andrew's and LJA's alleged break-up during the plot against the Emcee found in N247One of Sarah's many visitors in "Make This Go On Forever."  Sarah imagines riding on horseback as Countess Jennifer speaks of her horses.  She is among the Dyelanders who convince Andrew he needs to be Home for a while in "Benediction."  After Andrew shows the Dyelanders his new mini-van in N257, Countess Jennifer is among those who get to go on a test-drive with him. N258 is the first story in which she goes by "C.J." since it's set partly outside of Dyeland.  She shares in the pre-Halloween shopping tasks and then attends the party dressed as a unicorn.  Explains Andrewcam 2000 to Andrew in N262She is among the Dyeland ladies who go along with Andrew to help him finish an emotional case involving a murdered young woman, as told in N264.  One night during that assignment, she helps Andrew to see how important his work as an AOD is.  In N271, she tries to assure everyone that Eben is not responsible for some mysterious events that happen in Dyeland right before Easter.  Among the Dyelanders who visit Cora, Vincent's mother, in "Origins."  Arrives at a get-together with Andrew and some of the Dyeland ladies and ends up listening as Rose does battle with a junk caller in N273.  (N285)
 

Craig Holloway- Character from John's one-episode stint on the short-lived "Room for Romance."  Reunites for a one night stand with his former flame.  Subject of a poem in N156

Crisis Hot line- Introduced in N135 JABB members and their family and friends can call it with their Andrew/John related crises.  A similar concept of the Dyeland emergency phone line pops up in N264.  Nadia calls it when she learns her half-sister was murdered.

Crystal- One of Andrew's assignments in N286.  In the story found there, Andrew is assigned to a trio of homeless friends: Crystal, Ryan, and Maggie.  After a fight breaks out, Crystal and Ryan flee.  While Ryan is later found severely beaten, Andrew and Maggie fear for Crystal who never surfaced.  Andrew spends much of N287 trying to find Crystal and get her to safety when the attacks against the homeless intensify.  In N289, Crystal chats with Andrew when he and other Dyelanders visit the Phoenix for some Christmas fun.

D


Dadcula- Otherwise known as Dave Dennison.  This was Charles Rocket's role in the film Hocus Pocus.  In N134/CABB 1 we joke that Charles Rocket is superior to John Dye because Dennis was a great father to a Thora Birch character whereas John Dye's Andrew broke her heart.  In CABB 2 I mentioned watching the movie soooo many times and thinking Dennis woulda been a really cool dad.  The film is an answer to one of the trivia questions from N204I wrote a list in N231 about how much cooler AODs are than vampires but make a special note that Dadcula just might be as cool as AODs.  In Yvette's user manual found in CABB 8, a Hocus Pocus Dadcula Unit is accidentally sent in place of an Adam Unit.  In that same issue I recall a humorous conversation I had in a store about Hocus Pocus and how it made me think of Dadcula.  I fondly recall him in CABB 10(N177 Opt 2)
(The "Hocus Pocus" photograph is owned by Walt Disney Pictures.)


Daisy- Narrated N39 and other issues. Married to Cliff. Watches over Dyeland City along with Cliff in N68 after Adam has to leave because of an emergency concerning Andrew.

Danika- My dog and apparent strike leader according to N232.  She starts howling when I write a subpar adlibbed essay in N237. Attempting to clip Danika's nails became one of my break-from-Andrew activities, as told in N254Opt1 (N240)

Danny- Oops, I see I accidentally reused a name.  Oh well!  *This* Danny (not Dan from N163Opt1) appears in "The Uninvited Guest" (N185).  And that's all I'm gonna say about him lest I ruin the story.  :-)  He works on the set for Dyelander production of "The Crucible" as told in "For Thou Art with Me" (N194).  His appearance with the gallows set piece prompts Andrew to flee the theatre and, afterwards, tell a story of his past.  He appears briefly in N264.

David Sinclair- Prosecutes Andrew for murder in N163Opt1.  I recap his story in N246.

Dawg- Name given to Tess' dog featured in a few TBAA episodes. He hasn't been around for quite some time. In N51 Andrew vows to locate him as president.  A DVD game wherein the viewer finds him is requested in N147.  With Chiwawa, Dawg destroys Dyeland in a bad finale idea given in N223.  I briefly bemoan Dawg's disappearance in N248(N15, 23, 27, 76, 92, 138, 172)

Dawn Seywell- Her story is told in N264.  Half-sister of Nadia, she was a hospice counselor in Missouri when Andrew met and befriended her.  After learning that her boyfriend, Alex, was married he murdered her.  Andrew struggles to come to terms with her death and the impact it has on his friends.  The fallout from Andrew's assignment with her is referenced during several scenes in N266.  Eben uses the memory of her in his scheme in N270.  This assignment is mentioned in Andrew's job description in N280Figures into one of the party games from Andrew's birthday found in N282In N287, while homeless, Andrew brings up her murder and the sadness he felt and how it impacted his friends.  Dawn is memorialized on the Dyeland Christmas tree with an ornament in N289(N268) 

Dean Richards- Villain in season 6's "Pandora's Box".  Andrew destroys his computer monitor.  This incident is described in a newspaper article available at N159.  Mentioned in the last stanza of N175's poem.  N223 gives a bad Dyeland finale idea that begins with Dean really hitting Andrew with the baseball bat.

Debra- One of the drunk girls who first derides and then admires Adam in N264.


Della Reese- Played Tess on TBAA. For some reason is trying to get John's hair in N2 and N139. This at first prompts the hair to be donated to Chiwawa and then the second time prompts Audrey to leave Dyeland to protect it. Wished good luck at the Emmys in N4. In N17 it's threatened that anyone who breaks one of JABB's rules will be chewed out by Della. In N19 her quest for John's hair is mentioned. In N44 Chiwawa hides from her. In N47 John and Victor tell of Della's confusion when confronted by Audrey about Chiwawa (thus suggesting that the entire "Della-wants-John's-hair" thing was a delusion.  Hmm...)  Figures into a couple tabloid articles I recall in N199.  Reading old journal entries in N213, I recall obsessively waiting to hear Della sing the TBAA theme via dial-up Internet.  According to N260, Andrew listens to her CDs when he misses Tess.  Thanked by Yvette in N278(N9, 15, 22, 23, 33, 34, 43, 46, 129, 138, 238)

Democratic presidentialprincessdom- The official form of government in Dyeland according to N77 and N113.  Since then, Andrew has stepped down from the presidency and JenniAnn's disowned her princess title.  So I think we may be anarchists...  In N223 we learn that despite having given up their titles, Andrew and JenniAnn retain some of the responsibilities of their former offices.  According to N256, Andrew's previous involvement in that government would pretty much kill all future political dreams.  (N200)

Demons- Every good story has its villains.  And so did TBAA: Satan and his minions.  On TBAA there were several incarnations of Satan, Kathleen (Monica's former friend, she has her own entry below), Monique (who may have actually been Satan... I don't recall), and Gregory.  So we here at JABB have played around with that set a bit and some others of our own making.  There was Michael in N6 who masqueraded as a good angel on a news broadcast.  He's recalled again in N95.  And Eben who made frequent appearances to shake things up on the JABB YahooGroup.  Kathleen is in N58.  Satan's appearance in TBAA's 7th season is recalled in a poem in N70.  Dyelanders worry over a box's potential demonic contents in N74 a la Pandora's mythical box.  Aaron, an AOD of dubious morality, sees the devil in Hell in Audrey's Halloween horror story as told in N78.  In a fake TBAA episode described in N102, Doug from "Trading Spaces" plays Satan.  In his address in N106, Andrew alludes to some people formerly considering him a demon because of his AOD status.  Andrews Four and Seven brag over facing Satan in N114.  A very familiar demon appears as the Angel of Christmas Future in a Dickens parody in N127.  His (Satan's) appearance in Season 4's "Breaking Bread" is mentioned in N158.  We poke fun at Mandy Patinkin's Sondheim- assisted stint as Satan in N162. In N163Opt1, Eben's protégé, Stella, is introduced as JABB's third original fallen angel.  Satan sends several of his minions to try and tempt Andrew to their side in N167.  Or does he??  Monica's evil twin, Monique, is mentioned in N170.  She gets another mention in N171 in connection with the disappearance of Andrew's Dyeland home. Gregory is mentioned in the 6th Season poem in N175.  Some of the TBAA demons are recalled in N177 Opt 1One's return "from the dark side" is also mentioned for the first time in that issue.  A couple reformed demons surface in N181.  I recall seeing the Devil on TBAA for the very first time in N193.  Satan figures into the plot of "For Thou Art with Me" (N194).  In the story told there, Andrew recalls an assignment involving the 17th century New England witch hunts.  He witnesses the unfortunate consequences of a few villagers accusing others of being in league with the devil.  Eben also has a big part in that story.  Finding a demon in JABB gets you three or four (oops!) sips if you're playing the drinking game in N207N247 reveals some ways in which Eben has tried to bring about the end of Dyeland (and obviously failed).  Eben tries to wreak more havoc by forging a resignation note from Andrew in N270.  One of the fake Rorschachs in N280 apparently looks a bit like one of the Devil's incarnations.  Maybe.  I briefly mention the evil Monique in my journal entry found in N284(N7, 21, 52, 63, 72, 73, 101, 143, 269)

Desi- A young deaf girl with cerebral palsy who appears in N262.  Adam, as a store Santa, signs to her bringing many of the people crowded around to tears.

DiCaprioland- In N58 JenniAnn lives there in her adult life after having wished she'd never come to Dyeland.

Doc Hock aka Private Francis Thurman Hockenbury- John's character in "Tour of Duty." He figures into a proposed TBAA crossover in N69. Receives a Valentine from Doc/Karen in N131. In N137 it is said he would hold a protest (along with his pot and liquor) if Andrew were arrested. In N138 the co-presidents admit to entering rehab clinics with the sole purpose of finding him. JenniAnn is horrified when she thinks Audrey named him as the new co-president in N139 when she actually meant Doc/Karen.  One of the possible perfect mate results in N140's quiz.  Giver of three love beads and ten silver peace signs in N152.  Subject of a melancholy cinquain poem in N156Shows up in JABB's version of "Star Wars" in N165Responds to Andrew's email about John's 43rd birthday in N184 and sends a Creedence Clearwater Revival boxed CD set to his portrayer. I credit Doc Hock with teaching me a couple great lessons in N211.  I suggest dubbing him McHippie in N214.  Gets a mention in the Earth Day-themed N218.  In N227, I suggest watching "Tour of Duty" when studying the Vietnam War in school.  In open letters to John Dye found in N238, I mention getting the theme song stuck in my head while Nicole mentions Doc Hock in her own.  Doc also inspires three of the songs on the playlist I included there.  In N254Opt1, I describe being happy that despite my desire to see Andrew after a 6 day long break, I was able to watch ToD and not want Doc to morph into him.  I was so bothered by how "Tour of Duty" left his character that I wrote "Carry On" to process it.  Cause Andrew is comforting...  I then end up taking some fashion cues from him that day.  In celebration of Dye Day, N265 contains quiz questions and suggests songs related to Doc Hock.  In N284, I briefly mention watching him and, thus, knowing I had a crush on JD and NOT just Andrew.  (N9, 16, 124, 130, 132, 142, 147, 157)

Doc/Karen- In N128 she makes a New Year's Resolution. Came up with the idea for a Graffiti Wall. In N130 she submits several items to our "Forty One Reasons We Like John on His 41st Birthday" list. Sends valentines to Doc Hock and Jeff in N131. She is introduced as the new co-president in N139.  She introduces herself in N140.  Her tenure as co-president lasts only til N144 in which Karen/Bunny is introduced as my current co-president.

Dog-walking- N4. Term to signify annoyance at Andrew's lack of screen time. Refers to the episode "Venice" in which Andrew literally spent the episode walking a dog. Dog-walking was part of the proposed celebration of “Venice Remembrance Day” in N121. Vilified again in N102, N114.  Continued dismay apparent in N158's song. According to the top ten in CABB 5, the dog-walking woulda been more bearable had Adam and Alexander been included.  (N230)

Dominion- One of the tribes from N65's "Survivor" parody. It consisted of Monica, Tess, Adam, the Angel of Music, Taylor, Sam, Al, and Claire.

Drew- The unnamed “yahoo” mentioned in N123. He’d appeared on the JABB YahooGroup and said he had dirt on Andrew.  Later revealed to be Eben. 

Drool buckets- Origin of name unknown. Meant to catch the drool of the Androolers as they watch TBAA. JABB's Limited Edition Drool Buckets were being advertised in N36.  I offer to create real drool buckets in N76 to support charity. Alternate uses for drool buckets are given in N132. You can purchase your own, personalized drool bucket at JABB's store.  I threaten to replace them with anti-Manion bricks in N148Mention of them in JABB warrants two sips according to the N180 drinking game.  Celebrated in N181's "La Vie 'Angel' Fan."  Someone asks about where to obtain buckets in N196opt1Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  I suggest keeping one at one's workplace in N203.  A conceited (and very fictionalized!) John Dye tries to hawk these in the "Things that You'll Never Read in a JABB Newsletter" list in N205.  According to N222, finding household items shaped like buckets is a sign of happening upon an Androoler residence.  I suggest using them to cope with a leaky roof in N226Yvette lists an abundance of them as a way to tell if you're a JABBer in N251Figures into one of the party games from Andrew's birthday found in N282(N8, 9, 29, 42, 57, 93, 94, 165, 196opt2)


Du Bois Family- In a favorite TBAA episode (“The Violin Lesson”) Andrew and the other angels help Jordan Du Bois, his wife Willa, and their daughter and grandson cope with the impending death of Tony Du Bois, son of Jordan and Willa. A short vignette about Andrew’s return to the Du Bois home after Tony has passed away from AIDS is in N85. Andrew recalls this assignment in N114. Andrew’s confrontation with Jordan is described in N126. Tony DuBois, among other of Andrew's most celebrated assignments, is mentioned in N181's "La Vie 'Angel' Fan."  Andrew, Jess O., Lady Beth, and Lady JenniAnn are just about to start "The Violin Lesson" as N206 comes to a close.  I list Andrew's confrontation  with Jordan as one of my favorite John Dye moments in N211I recall Andrew's time with Jordan and Tony in N276(N128, 136, 268) 

Dye Day- First mentioned jokingly in N3. It is January 31st, John's birthday. It is now celebrated yearly in a chat room by JABBers and in N14 and 38. The first Dye Day chat was talked of in N73. Members of JABB tell about their favorite Andrew memories in N106 in honor of Dye Day. Members of JABB share 41 things they love about John in honor of his 41st birthday in N130. A brief description of the Dye Day chat for that year followed in N132. The chat lasted for over five hours! Not to be confused with Andrew's Birthday (Observed) which is celebrated on September 20th.  N156 is 2005's Dye Day issue and contains a multitude of poems about John and several of the characters he's portrayed during the span of his career.  In N184 readers get a glimpse into what goes on in Dyeland in preparation for Dye Day.  A new section of the JABB Store is also introduced in that issue since John is himself a big supporter of charities.  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200I suggest various ways to celebrate Dye Day in N210 including watching all of John's projects, having a "Dress Like a John Dye Character Day," and giving a birthday gift to anyone named John.  For Dye Day 2007, we shared fun facts about the date, our favorite John Dye moments, and various things we learned from in N211.  For Dye Day 2008, we wrote open letters to Mr. Dye which can be found on N238N265 celebrates Mr. Dye's 46th birthday with a quiz and themed play list.  (N8, 12, 13, 37, 41, 60, 129, 154, 155, 183)

Dyeland- Magical home, in another dimension, to JABB first introduced in N28. Here the co-presidents often go by the title Princess (JenniAnn later dropped that title in favor of Lady though her duties remain unchanged). JABB members live both here and on earth, going by the term Dyelanders there. In N28 the Princesses set off to find new members and end up getting taken hostage by Kiwi and Lisa (and later saved by John and Chiwawa). Dyeland can also refer to Dyeland City as well as the country as a whole. Dyeland Castle (also known as Willowveil) has been the site of many interesting happenings such as the Jabbins wedding reception and later Audrey, JenniAnn, and John's imprisonment by Cliff (N39).  This also gives insight into what Dyeland was before the JABBers when it speaks of JenniAnn and Aud getting Dyeland from a Realtor. In N43 Audrey, JenniAnn, John, and V have an interesting encounter with Kiwi in unnamed woods near the castle. (Later identified and now named "Forbidden Forest".)  Most of N46 is set in the attic of the castle. John and Victor write N47 from the castle. Chiwawa's illegal auction in N48 is set here. In N49 it's the setting of the 2nd Anniversary festivities. In N51 Andrew states he plans on making it capital if he wins world presidency. (Of course this is before he realizes Dyeland *is* the world implied in the title). N55 is a Halloween party set in Dyeland. During the party a prankster finds his way into the world. In N56 the president is named in City Hall and a party follows in the castle. In N57 it began to become an organized country with cities and not just random places. In N58 JenniAnn wishes she'd never come there.  N60 has New Year's resolutions, several of which deal with behavior in Dyeland.  In N63 and N74 Dyeland is haunted by various apparitions.  A top ten about things the co-presidents never thought they'd say, most related to Dyeland, can be found in N79A CD-ROM of its history is sold in N81. Site of the Christmas 2001 party in N82. N84 revealed that it actually had a list of laws. In N86, hobbits and elves enter the country and settle there. Parts of Dyeland's history as home to JABB are recited in an anniversary poem in N95A report on the origins of JABB and Dyeland can be found in N100.

Easter eggs- Beginning in N199, I start hiding bonus material in the online versions of JABB newsletters.  Sorta like DVD easter eggs.  People who find the easter eggs may be led to pages with special graphics or jokes or similar.  Actuallt easter eggs figure into Yvette's story in N271


Eben- JABB's very own demon.  Up until recently his story had been restricted to the JABB YahooGroup only.  It is as follows: When Andrew was away on a longer-term assignment, Eben came to Dyeland in the guise of a 20-something human named Drew.  "Drew" looked an awful lot like Andrew, except he had blue eyes.  He easily endeared himself to JenniAnn and became her confidante, gathering information to use in his plot against Andrew.  Eventually, his true identity was revealed and he threatened to tell the Dyelanders about something troubling from Andrew's past.  He never got around to it before disappearing under mysterious circumstances.  Eben surfaces in a JABB newsletter for the first time in the murder trial story told in N163Opt1.  He acts as jury foreman.  Later, with the aide of his protégé Stella, he tries to turn everyone against Andrew.  Tries to tempt Andrew over to his side in N167 and is confronted by an irate Audrey.  Figures into a Harry Potter inspired item in N179's top ten.  Set in 1651, "For Thou Art with Me" (N194) follows Andrew and Eben as they work together on a case.  The friends find their relationship tested when one of their assignments gets accused of witchcraft.  This story is Eben's biggest showing in JABB to date.  Andrew very briefly tells Nigel about Eben in N224.  In N244, I briefly recall the time LJA nearly married him.  Ack.  In N246, I recap his terrible behavior during Andrew's trial.  In N247 it's revealed that Eben got Patrick to do both the JABBies and the Dyeland Times as a means of demoralizing and disbanding Dyeland.  Nicole doubts his mental health in N251.  One of the day dreams I admit to having in N254Opt1 features me getting sappy about Eben's abandonment of Andrew.  According to N254Opt2, I wanna beat him up.  Forgot I wrote that...  N270 contains a list of complaints from Andrew that were actually penned by Eben in an effort to upset the Dyelanders.  The list includes a complaint about Eben himself.  Rose worries that he's responsible for some random, mysterious happenings in Dyeland in N271.  Lady Beth worries that Eben is responsible for the unwanted phone calls Andrew gets in N273.  Not ever letting Eben win is an item in Andrew's job description in N280

Ed- One of Richard's men killed in an IED attack in Iraq, as told by Andrew in N262.

Edgar Allen Poe- One of the authors spoofed in JABB. N7's "Angel" parodied "The Raven".  In N226, LJA suggests having Vincent read Poe to Dyelanders during storms.

Eldadaan- One of the elves who came to Dyeland in N86. Unlike Legolas he is not in Tolkien's books.

Eli/Elijah- A character introduced by name in N266, he was actually referenced several times previously as LJA's "Source" or similar.  Elijah is the nurse sent to care for LJA's dying aunt Sophia in N266.  Something about the tall, black, short-haired and bearded Elijah inexplicably reminds LJA of Andrew.  Later, she learns that Elijah is actually Eli, an angel of death that Sophia met (and fell for) during World War II.  Eli has made several visits to Dyeland since then and has worked assignments with Andrew.  Andrew mentions his fellow AOD's penchant for supplying the Dyelanders with embarrassing photos, etc. of him in N277.  Stops by Dyeland to help welcome Andrew home in N287In N289, Eli shows up in Dyeland on December 23, planning to spend Christmas there.  He helps the Dyelanders do some final decorating and then celebrates with them in Willowveil on Christmas Eve.  During the party, he's touched when Andrew and JenniAnn present him with ornaments to symbolize himself and Sophia.  (N286)


Eliot O'Hanna- Tunnel-dweller and Lady JenniAnn's (whom he sometimes refers to as Psyche) first and current boyfriend.  Vincent's right-hand man and a woodcarver.  Eliot is committed to the Tunnels and has never wished to live elsewhere. He's the youngest member of the Council there. Originally referenced only on the JABB YahooGroup, he has started making newsletter appearances.  In "Measuring a Life," Eliot is there when Vincent awakes from a terrible nightmare in which many of his loved one suffered.  Goes shopping for Andrew's birthday with LJA in N228.  Calms her during a terrible awards show in N229.  Attends Adam's birthday party in CABB 7.  In N230, the 8 Ball informs me that he and LJA will most likely marry.  In N231, LJA worries about his feelings getting hurt and he attends the Halloween party dressed as Winter.  In "Dream", Eliot's heart to heart with Andrew about LJA is interrupted when a vamped out Mick is found outside Willowveil.  In N235, when Eliot goes to the Willowveil ballroom to help LJA put up the Christmas tree, he finds himself re-enacting a scene from It's a Wonderful Life with her.  In early February, at the masquerade ball Yvette wrote about in "The Masquerade Ball and Other Events", Eliot gave LJA a promise ring.  However, a few days shy of Valentine's Day, Mick confronted LJA with the realization he'd made that LJA was still in love with Andrew.  Eliot overheard part of this and the couple broke up in N239.  They remain on friendly terms.  (N264)

Elizabeth- JABB member quoted in a newspaper article in N144.

Elves- Legolas, Eldadaan, and other elves came to Dyeland in N86 and settled there for an undetermined amount of time. In an unrelated scene in N258, Adam (dressed as Santa) tells Caleb that Andrew is his elf.  (N88)

Elvis- Another of John's favorite musicians. On the "Rosie O'Donnell Show" John said he'd like to be like him. This talk show appearance is recalled in N19. John impersonates him in N87. Andrew says he's going to see him in N99. In N113 he figures into a scheme to lure John.  Officiates over Andrew's unreal wedding in N160.  Adam impersonates him at the end of the story found in N163Opt1 when he sings "Jailhouse Rock."  Adam wins an award for that Elvis impersonation in N192.  Vincent impersonates him, complete with rhinestone jumpsuit, in a terrible Dyeland finale described in N223.  When an AOD strike starts, the recently deceased have no choice but to look for Elvis.  As told in the WGA-strike inspired N232.  According to N256, Andrew was at least once a Las Vegas Elvis.  (N108, 246, 275)

Emcee- Tricks the Dyelanders into thinking they're being honored at an award show called the JABBies but really spends most of the evening taunting them.  This story can be found in N229.  The Emcee returns to wreak more havoc in N247, this time via an online tabloid.  His real name is revealed to be Patrick and it's discovered that he's under the influence of someone who is no stranger to Dyeland... and even less of one to Andrew. 

Emily- In N74 she appears in a picture dated Dyeland-1888 and resembles Audrey.


Enos Strate- Character from the show "The Dukes of Hazzard" brought into Dyeland-play by Yvette.  Long time friend of Yva's from Hazzard County.  Appeared in Dyeland only once, but periodically sends letters there through Yva.  Sends Adam a birthday card in CABB 7Yva lists her friendship with him as something she's grateful for in N233(N229)
(Photo is from "The Dukes of Hazzard" and owned by Lou Step Productions, Piggy Productions, and Warner Bros. Television)

Eric Manion- See "Manion" entry.  For some reason we mostly call this guy by his last name. 

Erin- A girl who had a crush on Andrew during "The Pact" (season 4). In N75, Yvette offers a piece about how Erin handled learning Andrew was an angel. In N133, I pay tribute to Erin on the first Past Assignments' Day.  Her story is recalled in the song in N158.  Figures into my discussion of my changing appreciation of TBAA in N161.  She, among others of Andrew's most celebrated assignments, is mentioned in N181's "La Vie 'Angel' Fan."  I recall being able to see only part of "The Pact" in N199.  Younger me seems to think Erin's writing her and Andrew's names on the Face was cool.  Yikes.  (N121, 134/CABB 1, 268)

Ernie- In N74 he is described as the angel who cleans gum off of theater seats.

Evan- A Tunnel kid who attends a Ren Faire with the Dyelanders in N285.  He watches a joust with Adam, Yva, and Jessie.

"Everybody Loves Andrew"- Fictional show from N65 parodying "Everybody Loves Raymond."

F

Facial hair- Andrew was sporting facial hair that amazingly disappeared and reappeared through out Season 9 (probably due to the order in which episodes were recorded v. aired). This is mentioned in N108. In N20, I giggle over John's beard in the movie "Sioux City." In N136 I mention the facial hair in a paper about the symbolism of Andrew's hair.  Andrew gets a laugh out of John Dye's facial hair in the TBAA ep "The Face on the Barroom Floor" as told in N177 Opt 1.  What Andrew (or John) might look like with a full beard is pondered in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200Adam's beard also gets a mention in that issue.  Andrew's full beard (which ya have to imagine) is mentioned and celebrated in N252It's Adam's beard that gets some attention in CABB 8.  Mentioned in the Andrew-themed ABCs found in N254Opt2.  Yva is impressed by Adam's faux Santa beard in N258.  LJA fondly recalls a bearded Andrew showing up for her birthday in N264.  Eben-as-Andrew lamely complains about his beard in N270.  I mention Andrew's growth of a beard in N278.  Andrew and Rose briefly recall the former's beard in N279(N113, 114)

FAN- "Free Andrew Now".  A group of Andrew's supporters who organized to work for his release in N163Opt1, where the story of his arrest for murder is told.  Led by Jess.  They also released a TV ad available at: http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewalbum.html?alb=104275
Please use the password "labyrinth" to access it.  In
N192, Jess O'Neill wins a Trialie for leading FAN.  The group inspires the song "Free Andrew Now," the lyrics of which I offer up in N274(N246)


Fanfiction- Something that brings both joy and angst to our group.  We all have fanfic author and stories we appreciate very much.  Heck, some of us *are* fanfic authors.  But then there's the other stuff...  So follow the entries below to trace JABB's rocky relationship with fanfic.  N1 contains our first, very generous, guideline on submitting fanfic to JABB.  We were very naive...  N27 links to the results of an "Andrew on trial" fanfic challenge issued by Jennie and hosted by Sara.  N34 describes some Dye Scouts' badges objectives, two of which involve writing fanfic.  In N37 Joy introduces a virtual TBAA season based off of fanfic.  More badges follow in N40, this time involving three fanfic challenges.  N44 contains links to some JABBers' fanfiction.  Warning: some links are no longer working.  N45 contains a message from the now sadly defunct TBAA Creative Connection which used to house tons of TBAA fic.  N85 contains a couple results to a tiny fic challenge.  A hand-written TBAA fanfic causes a lot of trouble in N99.  In N119, I suggest writing fanfic to help yourself cope with TBAA being off the air.  It does help!  N123 contains a link to a fanfic written by Karen, Sara, Mieke and myself.  A quiz in N128 contains a reference to a very goofy sounding hypothetical fanfic.  A couple of us applaud John Dye's willingness to put up with fanfic in N130.  An unusual fanfic crossover is one of the scavenger hunt items for the contest in N138N161Opt2 contains my ban on shipper fiction as part of JABB's/Dyeland's story.  In N183, LJA freaks out over a fanfic in which Andrew gets hooked on drugs.  To cheer her, Jess O. offers up her own fanfic.  Andrew, in N200, states that JABB taught him to be careful reading fanfic.  Yay us.  In N213, I ponder what the heck kinda fanfic my fifteen year old self was writing.  In N214, I suggest writing a fanfic about Bill and Kristin from those Christmas movies John made.  According to N218, you should print your Andrew fic on recycled paper.  More Dye Scouts badges found in N234 involve writing Andrew-centric fanfic.  In N236, Andrew resolves to not get upset by strange fanfiction.  In N251, Yvette shares that participating with Dyeland helps her write fanfic and other works.  Fanfiction in which terrible things befall Andrew inspired me to write the first part of N252.  In "Man of No Reputation," Andrew shows Joshua a fanfiction he's concerned might upset him.  In N254Opt1, I describe being delirious after going without Andrew for days and daydreaming about him teasing me about shipper fiction.  The ABC's in N254Opt2 contain references to the types of fanfic that freak myself and other JABBers out.  You can read some fanfiction written by JABB members and peruse JABB's fanfic guidelines here.  Andrew-centric Pass the Story is an ideal way to celebrate his birthday with friends according to N255.  In "Origins," Cora tells Andrew that Yva mentioned some questionable fanfiction to her.

Faolan- Although not named he is the mysterious creature mistakenly identified as a leprechaun in N91.

Farmhouse- One of Dyeland's restaurants. The site of a date Audrey and JenniAnn set up for Andrew in N107.


Father- Not to be confused with *the* Father, this character is from the show "Beauty and the Beast."  He adopted Vincent and founded the Tunnel community.  Full name is Dr. Jacob Wells.  Yva recalls meeting him and Andrew tries to shirk the Christmas list writing duties off on him in Yvette's story found in N208.  A letter penned by Vincent entitled "How Vincent Met Psyche," he recounts how Father tried to convince Vincent to adopt a presumed orphaned/abandoned Psyche/LJA.  "Measuring a Life" is a story about a nightmare Vincent has.  Among other terrible changes in the dream, Father is an institutionalized patient of Vincent's.  Is thanked in Vincent's acceptance speech in N229.  Attends Adam's birthday party in CABB 7.  Attends Willy's Halloween party dressed as Mark Twain, described in Yvette's Halloween story in N231.  A few people express gratitude for getting to know him N233.  Reads the Christmas story to the Tunnel children in N235Father reuses his Mark Twain costume in "The Masquerade Ball and Other Events"In N258, he's dressed as Father Time for Halloween.  In a flashback scene at the beginning of N262, Father reads Vincent the biblical account of the angels at the Nativity.  Back in the present, he stalls Christmas Eve dinner to give Andrew more time to arrive.  Andrew interviews him, Vincent, and Catherine about "love through the generations" in N266.  Father tells about how he adjusted to Catherine being such a presence in his son's life.  Father unceasingly supports Vincent when he is reunited with his mother, Cora, in "Origins."  He worries over an anorexic Tunnel girl, Amy, in "The Scientist."  When Adam gets philosophical about her cookies, Yva considers that he may be spending time with Father, as told in Yvette's story in CABB 10.  In N286, Father helps Vincent lead a meeting of the adults of the Tunnel community when a Helper/NYPD detective forewarns them of attacks on the homeless.  In N287, Father sees his own struggles with Vincent reflected in a fight Vincent has with JenniAnn.  He comforts his son.  In N289, Father supports Vincent's decision to host a Christmas party in Cora's house.  (N288)


Fawn- Lady JenniAnn's dog.  Fawn sits with Andrew and JenniAnn as the latter mourns her pet frog in "Benediction."  She accompanies the Dyelanders during their assignment in Missouri, as told in N264.  The lucky girl gets to stay with Andrew and Lulu when LJA is called away in N266Runs off to play with Lulu while Andrew and some of the Dyelander ladies cope with annoying phone calls in N273Along with Rose and JenniAnn, she seeks sanctuary in Andrew's basement during the storm recounted in N279In "Shifting Focus," she and Lulu play together as LJA freaks out about the Hallmark Channel dropping TBAA.  Fawn and Lulu excitedly greet Andrew after being separated during his assignment as a homeless man in N286She and Lulu are, understandably, clingy after finally being reunited with Andrew in N287She sits with Andrew during a tense meeting with LJA's parents in N289(Image is actually of my dog, Danika.)  (N285)

FBI- Relocated John's hair to Chiwawa in N2. Aid Tara and Lisa in finding missing JABBers in N33. Agent Diana Smith and Andrew McCoy of the Magical Kingdoms in Alternate Dimensions Unit solve the mystery of the prankster in N55. Nameless FBI agents arrest Andrew in JenniAnn's dream in N68.

Felicia- Along with other Dyelanders, her first meeting with Andrew is told of in N159.  She shows him photos of Chiwawa.  She also had input in that story.

Fields of Gold- Located in the Glen of Goodness, Asteri, Dyeland.  Location where Andrew and the St. Patrick's revelers of Dyeland first met according to N159.  Another field is talked of at some length in N161: the field where TBAA began and ended. Where the Dyelanders find out about Andrew's temptation in N167.  Andrew and JenniAnn end up there in N169.  Setting for the "October Fun Festival" in N177 Opt 1.  That first meeting between Andrew and the Dyelanders is recalled in a limerick in N187.  A song to be sung around the campfire given in N196opt2 talks about meeting Andrew in the Fields.  In a Jane Austen inspired N198, Dyelanders roam the Fields bemoaning Andrew's lack of attachment to them a la Marianne Dashwood of "Sense and Sensibility."  Andrew recalls meeting the Dyelanders there in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  The Dyelanders try to tackle Andrew there after assuming he's leaving Dyeland forever in N201Opt1.  In "Eight Years Later," Andrew and JenniAnn recall his first appearance there and the events that followed.  According to N252, punishment for preventing Andrew from spending time in Dyeland is having to watch weepy Dyeland women wander here.  In N257, Andrew drives his mini-van there to show it to the Dyelanders and gains a new appreciation for it.  Site of the Dyeland Halloween party/dance in N258.  It's the setting for a few of the shots in the documentary Andrew creates in N266Cora and the Wells family have a picnic lunch there in "Origins."  Receives a plug from Andrew as an ideal  movie-viewing location in N277.  In "The Scientist" , JenniAnn tearfully recalls meeting Andrew there after she goes off on him and regrets it.  Apparently someone sees a Field-based scene in one of the ink blots in N280The Halloween party described in N285 is held there.  In N286, Catherine offers a very vague take on Andrew's first meeting with the Dyelanders there.  (N224, 264)

Fifth-wheel syndrome- N19. Those who suffer from it are often the ones who when in a group are left out.  Possibly like Andrew??

Firstborn- A more recent take on fifth-wheel syndrome.  I don't even remember how it started but for a while on the YG we've been discussing how much Andrew's like the stereotypical firstborn in a family.  Responsible, afraid of failing, sometimes feeling pushed aside in favor of the "baby," etc.  Unsurprisingly, it eventually made its way into the newsletters.  The first reference comes in N251 when Nicole mentions learning about Andrew's Firstborn Syndrome from JABB.  In N253, Dyeland Olmpians compete to help Andrew deal with his firstborn traumas.  N254Opt2 mentions Tess' love for him in spite of her sometimes treating him like a firstborn.  N276 ends with a teaser in which fake Nicole and I go off about Andrew's firstborn issues.


Flannel shirts (Andrew's)- These were among my favorite aspects of his wardrobe.  Andrew's flannel shirt and jeans ensemble from "The Journalist" is an entry for the Best Outfit Worn by John category in N13.  A messed up flannel shirt is listed as one of John's worst birthday gifts ever received in N84.  In Jess O.'s fanfic (excerpts found in N183), "PennyAnn" worries about "Mandrew's" blue and grey flannel shirt which has gone missing.  N205 states you will never read about me bashing Andrew's flannel shirts in JABB.  Cause I love em!  JenniAnn gushes about Andrew's flannel shirt while watching "The Journalist" with him, Lady Beth, and Jess O. in N206.  Andrew and JenniAnn both make New Year's resolutions involving flannel shirts in N209Opt1.  In N216, Andrew finds JenniAnn holding one of his "missing" flannel shirts after she thinks he's disappeared for good.  Lady JenniAnn ponders buying Andrew one for his birthday in N228.  In N238, I thank JD for making me so fond of these.  Nicole lists a green flannel shirt, apparently Andrew's, as being found in N246.  Yva prevents Andrew from offering a flannel shirt to be pitched out of his balcony window during the plot against the Emcee found in N247Nicole mentions these wonderful shirts in N251Weepy Dyeland women, separated from Andrew, are hypothesized to end their day clutching Andrew's flannel shirts in N252Flannel shirts make up part of Team Dyeland's Olympics ensemble according to N253In N254Opt2, students are advised to carry flannel shirts with them to school to aid in daydreaming about Andrew.  In N255, LJA mentions the shirts among the things about Andrew she and the other ladies love.  In what I'm sure was a delight for many, Adam wore a flannel shirt and jeans for part of Yvette's story found in CABB 9.  A ragged flannel shirt makes up part of Andrew's Scarecrow costume in N258.  Unsurprisingly, a flannel shirt is specifically mentioned during the organizing of Andrew's closet in "Carry On."  N259 reveals that the Dyeland presidential ballot in 2000 included a question about how frequently Andrew should be required to wear flannel.  Dyelanders are grateful for these shirts according to the top ten in N260An answer to one of the Christmas quiz questions in N261The Dyelanders dress Andrewcam 2000 up in flannel shirts in N262.  Andrew lists them as a form of his income in Dyeland in N263.  Andrew wears festively colored flannel for part of N266.  Andrew is advised to wear one for his State of the Dyelanders Address in N267N268 suggests Stacey and Clinton from What Not to Wear would toss the shirts.  Eeek.  Andrew's choice of Flannel as a last name is uncovered in N273.  Some chick sobs into a flannel shirt in N274.  No names are mentioned...  Is referenced in both the ink blot test and Andrew's job description in N280.  In N282, LJA gets Andrew flannel shirts for his birthday to replace some that had disappeared.  They also figure into one of the party games from Andrew's birthday found in N282In N285, JenniAnn bemoans the lack of flannel during the Renaissance.  Andrew sports a flannel shirt in the home video LJA and Rose watch in N286.  Rose gently teases JenniAnn about her obsession with Andrew's flannel in N287In N288, LJA writes Santa to request he bring Andrew some more flannel shirts for Christmas as she's apparently stolen some of his existing ones.  In N289, Catherine, JenniAnn, Rose, and Yva flee to the flannel shirt section of a department store where they reunite with Andrew after a zealous saleswoman separates them.  (N157, 189, 230, 272)

Flick- My pet frog who I "shared" with Lady JenniAnn.  In N232, I suggest making Flick part of my writing guild during a strike.  In N250, I mention taking shelter in the basement with him and Danika, my dog, during a tornado warning.  You can read more of his story in my introduction to "Benediction" which is about Andrew helping LJA to cope with Flick's death and making a few discoveries himself.  Andrew comforting JenniAnn after Flick's death is alluded to in Andrew's job description in N280(N200)

Football- Perennial scapegoat for delayed/preempted TBAA angst. What "John" claims to care more about than TBAA in N129.  Andrew teaches Monica a bit about football in the 2nd Season episode "Til We Meet Again" (pictured above).  This is recalled in the Season 2 poem found in N143.  In a "Forrest Gump" parody, Andrew becomes an assistant football coach after being observed while chased by bullies in N167.  Andrew, Adam, Jess, Miriam, and others play a game of football in N177 Opt 1.  The four enjoy another game in N181.  Margherita happens upon Adam, Jarrod, and Tess playing football in the Willowveil yard while Andrew cheers them on in N188Is discussed during a stormy anniversary party in Dyeland in N197Miriam's story in the issue revolves around a particular football game.  I suggest bringing one into the office in N203, simply because Andrew had one in his office in "Secret Service."  Football playing nets four sips in the drinking game in N207Andrew recalls playing football in Dyeland and Adam thinks back on a very special match from decades age in N224.  In N228, Adam says he got Andrew a football for his birthday.  N254Opt2 informs us that hoping Andrew will be at your school's football game is only gonna lead to disappointment.  An ideal way to celebrate Andrew's birthday according to N255Andrew plays football with some of the Tunnel children in "Benediction."  A bunch of the Dyelanders play a football game in between interviews, as told in N266.  Andrew lists football as something he likes to do in N275.  Included in Andrew's job description in N280In N286, Rose, JenniAnn, and Owen gather bits of fabric that are sewn into an outfit Andrew wears while homeless.  A piece of fabric from the Dyeland football jerseys is among the scraps used.  Andrew receives a very important hint regarding his assignment while watching football in N287.  Andrew considers asking Santa for a football in N288 but opts against it due to his broken arm.  A football ornament is one of the ones representing Andrew on the Dyeland tree according to N289(N54, 70, 105, 274, 285)

G

Gabe/Gabriel- Yes *the* angel Gabriel, angel of annunciation.  Featured in TBAA episodes "The Christmas Gift" and "Remembering Me."  His first TBAA appearance is recalled in the 6th Season run-down poem in N175.  I note our appreciate for Ossie Davis' portrayal of Gabe and also his recurring character of Erasmus in N185.  Richard jokingly asks Andrew if he has a photo of him in N262.

Galen- A Tunnel dweller unique to JABB.  He was among LJA's peer group.  Sadly, he was killed in a tunnel collapse in May 2008.  That YG storyline introduced some new aspects of some characters.  Andrew took him Home which enraged Galen's fiancee, Brittony, and resulted in Andrew avoiding the Tunnels for some time.  Relations between Brittony and Andrew and JenniAnn remain strained.  As Galen was dying, JenniAnn discovered that she can occasionally see Andrew even when he's in angelic form.  Galen makes his first appearance in a story, via flashbacks, in "The Scientist" in which he is acting Romeo to LJA's Juliet for a Tunnel production.

Gary- A young boy from the Tunnels who admires Willy's work and would like to follow in his footsteps.  Yva gets wistful about his growing up in N258.

Gerald Stone- Dyeland's resident lawyer.  In N184, he sends Manion a Cease and Desist order when Mr. Manion disregards a previous restraining order put against him by the people of Dyeland.  He appears in Dyeland's production of "The Crucible" as John Proctor as described in "For Thou Art with Me" (N194).

Gloria- The newest regular TBAA angel was introduced at the end of the seventh season. In N102, a top ten hypothesizes that when she starts talking like the Osbournes, viewers will know the TBAA writers have gone too far. In N114 Andrew is comforted that he will be reunited with her.  Gives Andrew a history of taxation in a Tax Day top ten in part 2 of N161.  ClaudiaSharon talks about her initial reaction to Gloria in N162Testifies as a character witness for Andrew in N163Opt1.  During her testimony she alludes to the events depicted in TBAA episodes: "Pandora's Box", "Heaven's Portal", and "Feather on the Breath of God".  Also regales JenniAnn with a history of amaretto in that issue.  Andrew considers consulting her regarding interior decorating techniques but thinks better of it in N171According to Audrey's top ten from that issue, she, Monica, and Tess feminized Andrew's house during their girls' night.  Writes Andrew a report on pocket watches for his birthday as told in N173.  Considers filling Audrey in about wedding traditions mid-wedding in N174Attempts to to give a lecture on feminism to the Dyelanders in N178.  Gives an unwanted lecture on the cornucopia in N179.  With a little help from Lady JenniAnn, Gloria spoofs a scene from "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" in N181Says she will recount TBAA's history in an interlude during N181's "La Vie 'Angel' Fan."  In N183, Andrew teases Adam about a fanfic in which he and Gloria are a couple.  Gives Andrew a history of the Hershey Chocolate company in "The Uninvited Guest" (N185).   She, Monica, and Tess are treated to an AOD Band performance at the end of the story.  Andrew fields a question about his friendship with her in N186In N188, Margherita finds Gloria living at Andrew's house and claiming she's actually an angel of death.  She writes Andrew a note in N190opt2 to mark the 141st anniversary of his becoming an AOD.  In N192, she wins a Trialie for being an amusing witness during Andrew's murder trial.  Freaks out some camp-going Dyelanders in N196opt2.  Overzealously misdiagnoses Andrew's lack of appetite in N197Bonds with "Pride and Prejudice's" Mary Bennet in N198Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.  While in Dyeland performing a science experiment, Gloria believes she sees Andrew and Monica fighting in N201Opt1.  Her attempt to to kiss Andrew in the episode "Manhunt" prompts an item on JenniAnn's birthday card choosing guide in N201Opt2.  In an item on N205's list about things you'll never read in JABB, Andrew realizes Gloria is Valerie Bertinelli.  Attends Andrew's Christmas party in N208Resolves to stop lecturing people about historical factoids in N209Opt1.  Attends and sings at Andrew's birthday party in N228.  Sends Adam a birthday card in CABB 7Yvette's story in N231 tells of Gloria attending Willy's Halloween party (dressed as a book.)  In N233, she lists this encyclopedia as something she's grateful for.  As part of his 2008 resolutions, given in N236, Andrew promises to meet up more often with she, Monica, and Tess.  Gloria appears in the first scene of "Dark Night of the Soul" which examines the episode "Two Sides to Every Angel" from Andrew's perspective.  In N246, I recall her testimony during Andrew's trial.  Mentioned oh-so-briefly in the Andrew-themed ABCs found in N254Opt2.  In N271, Tess frets that Monica is having problems with Gloria.  Takes part in the performance of the anthem "Free Andrew Now" in N274(N81, 167, 224, 284)

Glow Worm- N27 and 28. Sara's nickname for Andrew and/or John.  I wrote a Bill Engvall inspired joke about Andrew glowing in N190opt1N23, 33, 59.

"Go Ask Andrew"- A fake fanfic featured in N183.  A take-off of the song "White Rabbit" and the book "Go Ask Alice."  In it Andrew gets hooked on heroin and assorted unnamed drugs.  Adam howls with laughter over the bogus story while Lady JenniAnn mistakes it for Andrew's blog and panics.  Recalled in the "200 Things I Have Learned from JABB" list found in N200.

God- God is mentioned through out JABB and obviously important since Andrew and the other angels work for Him.  Some gods and god-like entities are discussed in N3.  Is mentioned several times in members' intros and toasted in N4.  In N6, a demon and the TBAA angels each try to convince a TV reporter that they are real messengers of God.  Called upon in a poem in N7.  Thanksgiving prayer offered to Him in N9.  Gets a few shout-outs in our Christmas Carol parody in N11.  Andrew mentions God's mysterious ways in N45.  He mentions God again in his presidential debate in N51.  In N54 we jokingly suggest CBS thinks they're God.  In a take on "The Littlest Angel", God cheers up a boyish Andrew in N59.  Is the driving force behind plot points in an alternate reality "Everybody Loves Raymond"-esque TBAA in N65.  Mentioned in a mysterious scroll in N67.  Character in a rather frightening Halloween story told by Audrey in N78.  In "A Miracle on 34th Street"-style, Adam uses God's existence to defend Andrew in court in N82.  In N100, our history of JABB begins with a line about God's creation of Andrew.  In N102, in an example of a very bad TBAA episode, Frank from "Trading Spaces" is God.  In N110, Andrew tells John Dye to always remember to say "God loves you" when playing Andrew.  Andrew points to God's love during the elections in N111 and N112.  However, God does not really show up as a character until N118 in which He appears to Andrew and uses the name Theo, meaning "God".  See the entry for "Theo". In N127 the Father gives Andrew a very special pocket watch for Christmas.  It can be viewed here: Andrew's Watch.  God is mentioned in N142 several times by different interviewees for the anniversary of JABB.  Andrew prays in thanksgiving to Him in N146.  Andrew reminds everyone that God loves them in N150.  Figures into a Triple S in that same issue.  The phrase "God loves you" was one of Andrew's gifts in N152.  Invoked at the end of N153.  And again in the address in N157Mentioned as watching over Andrew while he was homeless in the Season Four song from N158.  Andrew's sole companion during his imprisonment in N163Opt1.  Andrew also refers to God and prayer during his testimony.  We decide, in N165, God would be referred to as "The Force" if George Lucas took over JABB.  Andrew and JenniAnn have a discussion about trust and God in option 2 of N166Naturally is a hot and contested topic of conversation when Andrew is tempted by Eben in N167God's mentioned in reference to the TBAA episode "Into the Fire" in N170.  Andrew expresses his gratitude to his Father in N173An Irish blessing for Audrey's wedding can be found in N174.  As usual God is mentioned in the TBAA season poem found in N175.  A prayer beseeching God to watch over the angels of death is in CABB 2.  A humor-craving God has Andrew remain in Dyeland for Sadie Hawkins Day in N178.  When asked about his earliest memory in said issue, Andrew answers that "It's of my Father".  According to N181, Monica brought both Kathleen and Gregory back to God.  I reference God's love in my holiday message at the end of that issue.  God receives a fair amount of pre-wedding prayers in "The Uninvited Guest" (N185).  Andrew attests that love of God enables the AODs to continue their much-needed but emotional work in N186N187 opens with an Irish prayer calling for God's aid.  Both Monica and Tess mention God in their notes to Andrew found in N190opt2 Andrew accepts his Trialie partly on God's behalf in N192"For Thou Art with Me" (N194) is a story I wrote putting Andrew in the midst of the 1600s New England witch trials.  As wild accusations fly and people are harmed, various characters cry out to God.  Actually, I think N194 is probably one of the more God-centric issues I've written.  The second camp fire song given in N196opt2 talks about Andrew bringing God's message of love.  Seems to supply Andrew's party food in N197.  Andrew gets annoyed in N198 when a clueless person is overheard inquiring how much he stands to gain from his father's will.  They, of course, did not realize God was his Father.  We stress God's love in our suicide prevention information found in CABB 3While speaking to God in N201Opt1, Andrew suggests that may be he was brought to Dyeland for God's amusement.  Yvette and I both talk about God in our reflections about Andrew's birthday in N201Opt3.  Andrew's answer to a question in N202 revolves around acceptance of God's gift of free will.  In the Halloween-set story told in N204, Adam suggests there may be a good reason why the Father doesn't give either himself or Andrew assignments that night.  I also thank God for creating John Dye and Charles Rocket at the end of that issue.  According to the poem found in CABB 4, God helped Adam to create the turkey-like substance in order to save Alexander.  A mention of God nets one sip according to the drinking game in N207.  In N208, Andrew thanks the Father for all His love and support of the Dyelanders during a difficult year.  Tess vows to continue speaking of and singing about the Father's love in N209Opt1I fondly look back on using my old computer to spread TBAA's message of "God loves you" in N210I list "God loves you" as a very important lesson in N211.  I name God as the best valentine to have in N212Andrew also brings Andrea Friend a message from the Father in that same issue.  In N213, I quote an old journal entry from 1998 in which I finally clue in and realize TBAA is not "The Andrew Show" but that really it's about "God and love and each episode is jam packed with those two."  In a letter entitled "How Vincent Met Psyche," Vincent stresses that his returning Psyche to her birth parents is God's will.  Andrew defends himself as an angel of God against Jenni's assertion that he's just a fictional character in N216.  Naturally mentioned several times in Yvette's MDWA comic strip found in N217.  According to CABB 5, Adam asked the Father why the Dyelanders delight in teasing he and Andrew so much.  In "Measuring a Life," Vincent learns that sometimes God's greatest gifts truly are unanswered prayers.  Exasperated, Tess asks the Father what she's supposed to do with her Angel Babies after various incidents described in N223 In the spirit of TBAA's message of God's love and the dignity of all His children, I ask JABBers to make a list of 9 things they love about themselves in N224God is also ever-present in the stories that make up the Dyeland portion of that newsletter.  The Father gives Andrew glasses in a comic Yvette created that can be found in N225In N226, LJA reminds readers to thank God for the rain... and Andrew.  God's love and peace are recalled in CABB 6In N227, JABB members in school are asked to try not to stress too much about grades and such and remember God loves them.  In N229, after the Dyelanders experience a very upsetting event, Andrew reminds them that God loves them and watches over them.  In CABB 7, Adam regards his surprise birthday party as a prayer answered by the Father.  JenniAnn offers a heartfelt prayer up to the Father for Andrew in N231.  God sends the AODs to the Netherworld during a fictional strike described in N232.  Several Dyelander chime in to list what they're most grateful to God for in N233.  Andrew closes N233 with a prayer to the Father, hoping that the holiday season finds those in Dyeland drawing closer to Him.  In "Dream", Mick demands to know what sort of God allowed him to be turned into a monster.  Later he dreams about his mother telling him about God's love.  In "Great Spirit", Adam tries to get LJA to think about the Father's immense and unconditional love after someone sends her an unwanted email.  God promises to visit Nigel in the story found in N235 and does so in a surprising manner.  In the same story, the three AODs help their assignment rediscover God's plan for him following the death of his wife.  As part of his 2008 resolutions, Andrew naturally vows to spend time spreading God's love as told in N236.  In "Unconditionally", Andrew is devastated and angered when a cruel group of people picket a military funeral in the name of God.  Mick and LJA are also angered by the blasphemy.  The angel tries to carry the message of God's love to a young boy in the group and the family of the dead soldier.  In N238, I thank John Dye for his role in repeatedly reminding us of God's love.  During LJA's Valentine's interviews, Andrew speaks about divine love in N239.  He tells about his first knowledge of God's love and his joys and sorrows in sharing that message.  Adam, too, talks a great deal about God during his interview.  The story contained in that issue ends with a prayer of thanksgiving to the Father, as well.  Andrew shares the message of "God loves you" during his address in N240"Eight Years Later" reveals that Andrew took to an elderly lady's habit of keeping special mementos in her Bible since God said to store up your treasures from Heaven and that's where the words in the Bible came from.  According to a stupid answer in N242, Andrew wants to borrow God's car for prom night.  Andrew urges his assignments on the set of a soap opera to develop a relationship with God and each other in N243.  In "Dark Night of the Soul", LJA tries to console Andrew with the knowledge that he's doing God's will and honoring humanity's free will even though he wishes he could prevent the violence he witnesses.  I recall Andrew's prayer to God while he was in prison in N246In N247, LJA gives Logan a brief synopsis of how Andrew shares the message of God's love.  Andrew tells Patrick of the Father's love in the same issue.  In N248, the Angel of Angels urges a letter-writer to tell her swoony assignment she's committed to Someone Else.  In a very rare foray into fairly blatant Christianity, I wrote a story in which Joshua (Jesus) counsels Andrew in "Man of No Reputation."  In the story, Joshua and Andrew talk much about how God's love is their focus and mission, not romantic love.  TBAA's central message of divine love is mentioned by Yvette in N251.  The newsletter also ends with a prayer to the Father.  "Make This Go On Forever" has Josef struggling to make peace with God and His will as his girlfriend, Sarah, is dying after a very long coma.  Actually, that story has a lot about God and various characters' relationships with and beliefs about Him and His unconditional love for them all.  Yvette's Adam Unit in CABB 8 reminds assignments that God loves them.  In the same newsletter, I apply one of Monica's quotes about God's love of humorists to Mr. Rocket.  In N254Opt1, I mention real AODs and how much God must love them.  Nets the "O" for "Our Father" in the Andrew-themed ABCs found in N254Opt2.  In that issue students are also reminded of God's unconditional love.  In her birthday message in N255, LJA reminds Andrew that God loves him.  God (in the form of a burning bush) figures into my first presidentially-themed top ten in N256.  In "Benediction," Flick assures Andrew that God knows how he's tried to assure he never hurts his friends.  Afterwards, Andrew contemplates how God brought the Dyelanders together and would never let them be torn apart.  In CABB 9, Adam repeatedly asks God to get him back to Dyeland when he's mysteriously packed off to a ship and then Lilliput.  In N257, Andrew is humbled and grateful to the Father for selecting a car for him that best suits his myriad roles and what's most important to him.  God lovingly looks over the Dyeland Halloween party in N258.  In "Carry On," LJA prays that God see to it that Andrew find the notes from his friends, hidden in the pockets of his clothes, during difficult assignments.  That story also tells of Andrew bringing the message of God's love amid wars.  In a lil ode, found in N260, I credit Andrew's charm to God.  The Christmas quiz from N261 ends with a question about Andrew's reflection that he and the Dyelanders will forever be in the heart of God.  N262 is brimming with God!  Andrew writes to God, Adam tells a young girl and her mother that He loves them, Andrew assures a few people of the same, and God Himself gives the Dyelanders a Christmas miracle.  JABBer cuddliness has Andrew pondering what the Father was thinking in N263...  Pretty much every character in N264 has their trust in God tested when Andrew, other angels, and the Dyelander ladies work a troubling assignment together.  In that same story, Yva comes up with an amusingly vague way to explain Adam's parentage (God and God alone) to some drunk girls.  God's all over N266.  Sorry for the vagueness but if I recounted everything, it'd be a whole entry unto itself.  As usual, God figures into both addresses found in N267.  Lady Beth initially thinks God is responsible for all the pre-Easter culinary work being done in N271.  I feel that "Origins" is one of my lengthier examinations of God's love and features some of the most pointed theological discussion of the Father.  The story includes abundant references to God and opens with a quote from Jeremiah: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you."  God not giving Andrew a last name during some assignments sets off lotsa goofiness in N273Andrew mentions the Father a number of times, sometimes jokingly, when he fills out Facebook quizzes in N275.  Thanked, by Yvette, for His inspiration in N278.  In N279, Andrew, JenniAnn, and Rose offer up a prayer to God for safety and peace during a violent storm.  Andrew tries to help LJA see that God loves her just as she is in "The Scientist"Figures into an ink blot and, obviously, Andrew's job description in N280.  I celebrate Charles Rocket's contribution to TBAA's deliverance of the message of God's love in CABB 10.  The Father figures into my Bohemian Wonderland day dream in N281CABB 11 ends with Adam thanking the Father for all the people in his life.  Well, in N284, I write about my insanely specific categorizing of Jesus books.  In N285, LJA reveals that she found peace in thinking about God whilst in a horrid dungeon museum at a Ren Faire.  Later, she offers up a frantic prayer for Andrew to Him.  The story begun in N286, in which Andrew becomes homeless during an assignment, is pretty much filled with prayers to God and assurances of His love offered by various characters.  In the intro to N287, I thank God for His inspiration.  Additionally, His love and devotion resonates through that second half of the story.  At least I sure hope it does cause I meant it to!  Excerpts from Andrew's letters to God are scattered through out N289.  In addition, that Christmas finds many of the Dyelanders reflecting on God's love.  And, depending on your religion, you might even think Andrew appears dressed as God... in thanks to a performance of Jesus Christ Superstar he gets pulled into.  In the same vein, both Cora and JenniAnn reflect upon Nativity sets.  Finally, God grants Andrew one amazing vision towards the end of the story.  (N2, 5, 10, 17, 21, 23, 28, 32, 35, 49, 50, 68, 70, 71, 74, 84, 85, 93, 95, 104, 106, 108, 126, 130, 140, 148, 164, 169, 203, 228, 230, 249)

Graduation- Major cause of stress for the co-presidents in mid-2000. This prompted their walk in N43. In N46 there's a top ten about inviting Andrew to your graduation. In the same issue the co-prezes and John go to the castle attic to remember the high school years before the former two graduate. John and Victor take over N47 for the two girls who are overwhelmed by graduation planning.  We talk about blowing our college graduation money on a trip to Salt Lake City in N138.  (N45)

Graffiti Wall- First mentioned in N128. The wall is located here. Members are invited to leave messages to Andrew or other members there!  N149 reveals that there's some graffiti insides the turrets of Willowveil Castle.  I mention it in my web site tutorial in N176In N177Opt 2 I mention working on the Graffiti Wall during what shoulda been a hiatus from JABB.  In N250 I suggest coming up with additions for it in order to get through severe weather.

Green shirt- How we went until November 2008 without an entry for this is beyond me!  For those who don't know, the "green shirt pic" was all the rage for a while.  It was an absolutely gorgeous publicity shot of John Dye in which he was wearing jeans and, obviously, a green shirt.  The first newsletter reference to it I found is in N128.  A question in a quiz asks what your reaction would be to finding a men's green dress shirt.  In N138 we joked that we airbrushed the green shirt pic onto a baby-tee and ran in front of the Today Show window wearing it.  N153 offers a glimpse of a gingerbread John in a green shirt.  Inspires the phrase "green shirting it" found in N164.  Both Liz and Sorrow ever so fondly recall the famed shirt in N200.  In a "day in the life" piece written by Sorrow for N203, she mentions sneaking a peak of the photo while at work.  Mention of the shirt gets you 4 sips if you're playing the JABB drinking game found in N207.  Liz brings up the shirt yet again in N211.  Clearly people love that shirt... and the guy wearing it.  In N214, I suggest that looking at the photo is an appropriate St. Patrick's Day activity for us.  Inspires a paint color in N222.  According to an article from N228, green shirts are a common birthday gift purchased at the Dyeland mall.  Nicole posts a want ad for an AOD that looks good in green shirts in N246.  Dyelander women freak out in N247 when it seems Andrew's ready to pitch his green shirt.  In N251 it's Sorrow's turn to mention the shirt a second time!  According to N268, Andrew and Adam wearing green shirts for St. Paddy's Day would have swoon-inducing effects!  Namesake for an Andrewopoly spot according to N269.  Listed in a section of Andrew's job description in N280.

Gregory- A demon who possessed a man named Lonnie in the TBAA episode "The Occupant."  This event is recalled in the poem in N175.  However, I (Jenni), softie that I am, went through a big redemption phase in late 2005.  In October 2005 I decided it'd be cool if Monica brought Kathleen back from the "dark side."  So she did.  Well, then I felt Gregory should get a shot at forgiveness.  So in N181, the former demon, now angel, appears as the Angel of the Lord in Tess' Christmas pageant in N181.  Since we never actually saw Gregory in his true form, there is no picture here.  But I like to think he looks like Joaquin Phoenix.  Cause I like to think about Joaquin Phoenix.  Well, various Joaquin Phoenix characters to be precise.  Not as much as Andrew though, don't anyone worry!  ;-)

Grim Reaper- In the episode "The Sky is Falling", Andrew confronts a trick-or-treater (shown above) dressed as the macabre being.  In N3, various depictions of the Grim Reaper/Angel of Death are discussed. Declares love for Andrew via love letter in N39. In N123, JenniAnn, having a major fashion crisis, accidentally makes Andrew and Adam believe she is one. In N138 the co-presidents admit to beating up someone dressed as one.  Because of Andrew's dislike of this image, Jawas are banned from the JABB version of "Star Wars" in N165 They're banned from the festival in N177 Opt 1.  JenniAnn suggests defacing Halloween cards bearing the grim reaper image on them and lists a reaper costume as a horrible gift for Andrew's birthday in N201Opt2The Dyelanders plan a very special Halloween activity to present an alternative to grim reaper imagery and honor their AOD friends in N204.  I suggest letting Andrew bash some TV reapers as a Promotion Day gift in N218In N220, Bill Morgan teases JenniAnn by saying that he intends to run around Andrew's yard dressed as a reaper.  A sign barring them is mentioned in N222.  The sorry lot is mentioned by multiple characters in N231.  I imagine the AODs putting up a grim reaper dart board in N237In N256, Candidate Andrew wants to limit the use of these terrifying costumes.  During a pre-Halloween shopping trip described in N258, the Dyelanders try their best to keep Andrew from seeing all the grim reaper themed junk.  Andrew is grateful for the 364 days a year in which they aren't around according to N260N285 reveals that Adam would attends a Halloween party even with a grim reaper as long as the food was good.  (N7, 48, 69, 83, 121, 149, 202, 262)

H

Hacker- In April of 2003, N109, someone hacked into the JABB pages and messed them up. Readers were alerted by Audrey and me. It was all an April Fool's joke. Audrey and I had devised the idea and Audrey and Aud's boyfriend did the “hacking”.  Logan, a good hacker, is brought in from "Moonlight" in N247.  Josef turns to his hacker, Ryder, to get him some information to lead him to Andrew in "Make This Go On Forever."

Hair- Considered one of Andrew/John's most distinctive physical traits by several Androolers. N2 discusses the utter shock felt my many when it was cut. It was commonly believed to have been cut by Sara and her sheers but was later found out to have been entered into the witness protection program after witnessing Della Reese shaving Alexis Cruz's hair. From there it was given to a hairless Chihuahua in Northern Ireland (Chiwawa). The story is proven true when John acknowledges it in N4 (in which it also is eulogized). In N46 Audrey and JenniAnn requested he grow it back but he said no. In N19 John and Chiwawa discuss their hair. In N30 one of the Dye School classes is devoted to his hair. In N44 Della nearly finds out about the hair being sent to Ireland. N73 describes Audrey's and my first reactions to the infamous hair-cutting. Debates about it cause New Year's resolutions to break in N83. N92 lists "The Hair conspiracy: Monica's involvement" as a dead idea. In N94 the hair mystery deepens when JABB's website crashes.  A stanza of the JABB anniversary poem recalls the infamous haircut in N95In N106, it is Adam's long locks that get mentioned. In N110, upon their first meeting, Andrew suggests John grow out his hair to play him.  Andrew insists that if he dislikes it he can always cut it later with out anyone caring. Andrew had not yet met the Androolers… In N114, in a dream, the various Andrews bicker about whose responsibility it was to keep the hair intact. In N117 the JABB authors contact a Magic 8 Ball and ask if it prefers Andrew's hair short or long. It opts for short. In N121 a day commemorating Andrew’s cut hair is suggested as a possible holiday. Another proposed holiday involved having those Androolers who liked Andrew’s short hair versus those who preferred his hair longer going against each other in a scavenger hunt. N136 features an altered version of my anthropology paper that explains the symbolism of Andrew's hair at various stages of TBAA. In N139 Audrey leaves Dyeland to protect John's hair.  A retrospective of Andrew's many hair styles is requested in N147.  Andrew spends part of Halloween washing it in N149Several "Star Wars" jokes in N165 revolve around hair styles.  JenniAnn worries about *her* hair when she thinks Andrew wants to play paintball in option 2 of N166.  His 5th season haircut is the subject of the first stanza of the poem thingy in N170.  According to Audrey in N171, Andrew's home is destroyed by Tess when she goes searching for John's shorn hair there.  Andrew's hair ends up semi-permanently dyed in bright colors after a food fight during his birthday party as reported in N173.  In N177 Opt 1, Audrey teases Andrew that his haircut prompted the Dyelanders' display of Andrew scarecrows.  Andrew affirms he's growing his long locks back in the same issue.  What one JABBer is thankful for at Thanksgiving as told in N179.  Andrew thanks Lady JenniAnn for not playing with it in the same issue.  Discussion of hair warrants one sip according to the N180 JABB drinking game.  Our hair obsession is recalled as one of the highlights of fannish life in N181's "La Vie 'Angel' Fan."  Jess writes a lovely passage about "Mandrew's" hair in N183 which causes Andrew to blush.  Margherita is freaked out when an over-dramatic, whiny Andrew braids his hair in N188
