Uncle Rudy
“Every Family’s Got One.”
The most woefully beloved man found in our archival research, Uncle Rudy (full name: Rudolph Testor) could wrench a smile out of the dourest sourpuss. Never missing a chance to crack a joke or pull an embarrassing prank (at your expense), Uncle Rudy lived only to laugh. He had a knack for showing up at the worst time possible with nothing but snappy insults and a finger to pull. Lightning fast wit, infinite zingy one-liners, and absolute zero decorum are the hallmarks of the crazy/whacked-out/hilarious uncle that Rudy truly was.
Fun Facts:
- Uncle Rudy was unanimously chosen as The Lost Library of Congress Recordings official mascot, due to his peerless ribaldry.
- He lost all of his real teeth after the obliquely named “Tuba Incident“, then had them replaced with novelty wind-up chatter teeth. Our research revealed that he could simply wind up his ear, and let ’em rip!
- He was happily married to (the equally happy) Aunt Judy, whom he met at the Butthole County Fair while she was performing under her stage name Judy Patootie.
- Uncle Rudy and Aunt Judy were the adoptive parents of Sally Mae. Sally had a bad relationship with her real father, and her mother couldn’t afford to raise little Sally on her meager wage as the spur polisher at a local saloon.
- Rudy was secretly very wealthy, after years of working as an advisor to the Governor. This is how he was able to afford all the necessary components of his wildly complex pranks, sometimes consisting of moving parts that took years to slow roll into the ultimate hysterical take-down.
- Don’t ever ask his opinions about any conflict involving the Middle East. You’d surely regret it, and he would never shut up about it!
- While he never outright owned The Rowdy Rudies, he did own their studio, venue, and all of the instruments. He was a generous benefactor, and always made sure the Rudies had tinpans of hot food to eat in the alley behind wherever they were gigging.
