Professional Crastination

Josh isn't impressed. "Okay, whatever. All we know about you is that you were taken from your native timeline in an alternate dimension in '99, and you've been hanging around ever since, only showing up whenever someone actually remembered you existed. I'm sorry to say, you're pretty one dimensional, Skip. Your name, sorry to say, is your biggest characteristic."
"I can't help my name! I was born with it!"
"We'll get around to that, and we'll change it if we really have to," replies Josh. "In the meantime, what have you been up to in the past eight years?"

Skip doesn't answer right away, and he spends a moment with his eyes closed in contempation as he racks his brain trying to remember his highlights over the years. Aside from one or two Horsehockey threads that went nowhere (i.e. no one wrote episodes branching off the ones where Skip had a starring role), and the occasional mention at NEQ, he'd been basically M.I.A. Finally, he speaks. "Well, I have my own staircase room, and I spend a lot of time there. I've given up on trying to return to my native time."

Josh ponders this. "Ah, so that's where you've been aside from the one or two times that we've seen you hangin' around. Nothing wrong with that at all, Skip! The problem is, you need to not be so one dimensional, and I think I have the solution for you."
"What is it?"
"We need to retcon everything about you, Skip! From now on, you'll have a brand new, more exciting history. We'll work you into the story retroactively so it makes you look like you were one of the main characters instead of a bit player. So, follow me!"
"I hope this isn't painful..."

1. Presto! Skip Hitler is finally fleshed out as a character.
2. Josh discovers that Skip is completely hopeless, and there's nothing that can be done to add to his character.
3. Same as above, but Josh arranges to have Skip killed.
