OK, but you might be disappointed. The legend is so much better than the reality. Here, to the best of my knowledge is the first thread in which houseboy appeared (Somehow, you knew Digital Gee would be wrapped up in this.)

Then, on rare occasion, when it appeared people needed the opaque glaze taken off of their corneas, houseboy would make an appearance. Based on the wailing and gnashing of teeth his visage inspired, it didn't seem fair to inflict him more than once a year, So a committee (made up of Blackberry and myself) decided that April 1 was the one-and-only day.

As far as Blackberry is concerned, he got involved with some rough characters (including the ill-fated Diego brothers) and decided to hightail it into the witness protection program. Rumor has it that he is living quietly in Indiana as the curator of the Dan Quayle Museum.
