When the L.L.Bean catalog, Christmas edition, rolls into Spidercarp Junction, it is a cause celeb
Those who cannot attend the “official” arrival, are relegated to hearing all about it on the following Monday,down at Marge Posey`s Café
Aside from the colorful dream book itself , attendees this year were treated to a spirited rendition of
Gene, Gene, the Dancing Machine
as performed by the Pennsylvania Limited`s own Carl Berkinshire
If you ask Fred Threadbender,he`ll tell you right off : "Carl needs to go be on the TV,he`s that good"

A nervous Carl "Gene Gene" Berkenshire covertly warms up his annual Christmas season dance routine on the coach stairs. Deciding to incorporate a toy theme into his show, Carl has riskily opted for Boz Skaggs' hit song "Lledo" to accompany his Lledo shuffle, as it were. Carl hopes the crowd make the toy name association but knows that true artistes must push boundaries and take risks for the sake of their art. Carl's worried confidants in his dance class think he may have overestimated the collective IQ of this year's crowd, however. Moses, busy at his temp job again this year as Postal Service Christmas relief assistant, pauses to observe elderly Mail Coach Clerk, and Wally Cox look-alike, Ward Locke with deep concern. The oft-addled tippler, recently having complained that his creative side had been suppressed for decades, is apparently trying to to join the Christmas show as a left handed puppeteer accompanied by a wooden cat figure he is introducing as as Miss Laplander. The crowd titter and roll their eyes as Ward responds to his own questions of Laplander in "cat parlance". The kindly Moses, feeling sorry and embarrassed for the pathetic, but oblivious performer, considers connecting with his "Ultimate Boss" above to suggest it may be Ward's time to permanently "exit stage left" so to speak. Meanwhile Bear has scented the delicious pong of the sweaty bib overalls worn by hard working rail maintenance man Ty Pounder. Bear, tummy now rumbling, considers making efficient use of his time and invites Ty out back to participate in an early dinner. Bear is confident he can finish up and be back in time for Gene Gene's show.
