I hope to have the Charles River Trio give the first-ever All-Star game a go.

As far as "The Natural Swatter" is concerned, Rex Goodman seems to have source materials that help his dramas go.

Here, read this terminal entry found in Sanctuary Hills of all places:

I can't quite put my finger on it, but every one of Rex Goodman's dramas sounds so similar to something else. Don't get me wrong, they are great pastimes. I mean, who couldn't love the thrillers of the Baltimore series: "The Pilfered Memo," "The Ebony Feline," and "The Veil of the Maroon Plague"? And there was the Boston thrillers: "The Barrel of Amontillado*," "The Decline of the Estate of Rusher," "The Hole and the Counterbalance," and the "Say-Story Liver."

I laughed as hard as anyone during the comedy series of 2295: "Most's Great That Begins Great," "The Salesman of Italy," "A Postwinter Morning's Goal," "A Lot of Concern About Everything," "Thirteenth Day," and my favorite, "The Gallopcastle Story." The Spouse of Shower's story was the best in that series!

The hero series was also so good: "Prince Aardvark and the Squires of the Squaretable," "Amadawg," and "The Alias and the Oddity."

Yes, they are great. I have listened to all of them, and Rex seems like a great talent as a writer for dramas. Still, there is something so familiar with those dramas that I can never quite put together. Maybe I should have paid more attention in my classes rather than staring at Becky Quizasandwich in class.

Ah, whatever. That was over 200 years ago, and I'm becoming like a god or something anyway. Carry, on Rex, and your Charles River Trio. Glad I saved your *** from Trinity Tower.


* Writer's note: there is an Amontillado Easter Egg in the Fallout 4 game.


Anyway, I have no current plans to pursue the "The Natural Swatter" radio drama within this dynasty as a written tale of Watkus Esdon's rise to fame, along with the interesting characters, Letter London, Soda Hunter, Min Cruelty, Muds, Daffodil Orange, and Harlot Snake. I mean, Rex can do those things, but I cannot! I'm positive, however, that when we hear the drama, it will sound familiar to us, too.
