I found the copy of the Burl Ives' America which featured SDC and the Diving Bell and uploaded it to Vimeo for everyone's enjoyment.

Also... if you're on facebook, join my Diving Bell fan page here!

Here's the video...

Those are great pics rubedugans!  Thanks!!

Hmmm... You don't happen to be the guy who ran the Geyser Gulch fansite, would you? I miss that site...

Yes... that's me.  And I have all those files still, but the site got taken down (I think) recently when Geocities went bye-bye.  I never really "RAN" it though... hahaha... just sort of put it up and let it go.

Those are some great pics of the Diving Bell.  I have a copy of the script at home, and many pictures from the archives they let me scan back in 2000 when I was playing "Rube" on park.

I'm the only one to ever play him in the flesh on park... Slim Pickens voice and all.  (I was listed on WikiPedia as being such for a while but it's not there anymore.)  Now I serve Lord Vader. 

Here's a picture of the Rube Dugan costume I came up with.


I wore fake teeth and had dynamite on my belt with real fuses.  I'd walk around "Geyser Gulch" (right by "Lake Silver") and talk to people who "knew" me from my name badge about going to get Eli Tolts and how I was still tryin' to blast that submergable out from the bottom of the lake.

Lots of people often said, "You're Rube Dugan?!  Aren't you a little young to be Rube Dugan?"
And I'd answer, "No... it's still the 1880's ain't it?!"
