Looks like I was a lot further from my limit then I thought. After my last check in to turn in projects and restart my recycling I still haven't hit my limit an I'm down just under 1600 duct tape away with 2 projects on the board that are each just under 1700.

Is the cap lifted after getting him?

yep, after I got him I earned 12000 more duct tape and have gotten three straight rails.

Cool, Thanks!

Got him. Followed by 4 curved bonus rails that I can't use.........yet.

So is his name Uriah Heap? I have a friend in real life who parent's named him Uriah Heap, after the band. Everyone always mispronounced his name while we were growing up. And most people assumed it was religious, LOL!

nope.

The name of the recycling center is a reference to the Burns-esque character Uriah Heep in Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield (one of the books which is thrown out by Homer during recycling).

Hippie doesn't have a name

Just got the hippie!! :D

Now time to grind out those bonus tracks!

Same here, already very close to getting my first bonus track (just waiting to release some more possums so I don't overshoot the target)

Seriously? His parents named him after a BAND? Dear Lord. At least they could have gone for something a bit more mellow sounding, like Led Zeppelin. :)

Yeah, that would have been way cooler, LOL! Yes, his real name is Uriah, first name, Heap, middle name. Thank you LPN, for that update. I did not realize that. Its funny, my friend, Uriah, mentioned the band, but never the character from David Copperfield. That is another interesting reference. But his parents were definitely thinking of the band when they named him, not the novel.

Sorry if this was brought up before, but what episode was he in? Or is he an original character

Think he's in episode called The old man and the Lisa.
