Synopsis:
Colin McKinney, a successful romance novelist, wants to keep his profession a secret from his ultra-Catholic parents, especially his overbearing, neurotic mother. Colin writes under the pseudonym, Amber Waves, and tells his fans that he is a housewife. Colin also wants to prevent his parents from finding out that his fiancée, Jen, is really a Baptist. With his parents halfway across the country, Colin thinks his secrets are safe until his parents and sister decide to visit him to celebrate the Feast of Epiphany. To ready himself for their visit, Colin hides his romance novels and creates games like "Who Wants to be Canonized," "The Our Father Sing-a-long," and the "Patron Saints Board Game" to help Jen learn enough about Catholicism to pass as a Catholic. This outrageously entertaining comedy offers a blizzard of one-liners and outlandish situations.

Synopsis:
In 1987, a murder-mystery series premiered on the BBC television network that would go down in history as the worst murder-mystery series of all time. It was entitled. . ."It Was. . .The Butler!" and as you can probably tell, the title alone didn't leave much to the imagination. After an hour of murder, mystery, and mayhem, it turned out that, yes, the Butler had done it. By the time the network decided to pull the plug, nobody was watching. Nobody, that is, except for a young boy named Peter Piper, who vowed to grow up and be just like that detective on TV and rid the world of evil butlers! And, unfortunately, that is exactly what he did. This is his story. . .

Synopsis:
Our story takes place in the small town of Minnewawa, California, population 300. On this tragic night, Rocky Ricochet's fabulous girlfriend, Athena, dumps him, and across town, an invalid dies of a heart attack at the local hospital. Has fate linked these two tragic events? Rocky seems to think so. After the town drunk (in this case, the town's doctor) arrives to examine the dead invalid and mistakes him for Rocky, word spreads through Minnewawa that Rocky has died of a broken heart. With the help of the town coroner, Rocky devises a plan to win back Athena by masquerading as his own long-lost twin brother, Jethro. This riotous farce features a host of zany characters.
