Roach had planned a multi-culti series of shorts based on holidays of other religions... Diwali, Ramadan, Passover, etc. Easter got lost in the sauce. In fact, he was going to name "Arbor Day" "TuBiShvat," this being the Jewish arbor day, but they would have had to rewrite the whole thing and kick poor old (dead white male) Joyce Kilmer to the curb.
How exactly WERE Spanky and Buckwheat making "hundreds and thousands of dollars" in the thick of the Great Depression?

In the context of Alfalfa's dream, it was 20 years later, so no more depression, strictly speaking.
However, in the spirit of this game, lets just say lemonade wasn't involved!
How did Darla make her money?

The Wild Man from Borneo. Buckwheat reportedly saw the movie and laughed so hard that he had to be escorted out of a theater. The next day, he saw Spanky at the studio and said with a big grin, "Not so fun, is it, Spank?"

The Rascals taught them that swearing wasn't cool, except towards enemies and authority figures, so that had very little actual impact. However, the Gang and South Park Kids did perform a rousing rendition of "Blame Canada" that even we Canucks conceded was most inspiring.

They got into a violent argument over whose theme song was most annoying.

Kim Kardashian, whose much, much older brother Karl played the nasty rich kid in CURLEY AND THE FIRE ENGINE. Boy, what a stinker that was.
What was the only good film in the CURLEY series?

CURLEY 7: THE QUICKENING, in which Curley and the Gang fought mutant lizard vampire women from a quasi-Midevial world with spaceships and lasers.
But where were Larry and Moe during all this?

Larry and Moe were busy considering Alfalfa as a replacement for Curley, who suddenly moved to
Australia, on a whim and a woo woo woo woo! Unfortunately, Alfalfa refused to cut off his "personality," so they ended up hiring Darwood Kaye, instead.
Who did Darla say was so divine?

Noted celebrity photographer Otto Phocus, whose portraiture of the rich and famous of the day, to say nothing of those who made Hundreds And Thousands Of Dollars, made him a demigod among the glitterati.
Why were all the Our Gang bullies and tough guys so flamboyantly Irish-looking? Is this the reason Notre Dame called (still calls) their legendary sports teams the Fightin' Irish?

A trauma in Hal Roach's past he refused to talk about.
And if Notre Dame's team is the Fightin' Irish, what does that make Spanky's team?

The Fightin' Fools which is sort of half right, as that was the title of an 'Our Gang' MGM short, but that one reeler wasn't about Football, but about Chicken Croquet, which itself is sort of half....aw skip it!
What was Spanky's "skip it" phrase in reference/s to?

The popular children’s toy of the same name. In one particular short, SKIP TO MY LOU, the kids build their own Skip-It to face off against rich kid Jerry Tucker in a skipping contest. In the end, everyone lost, as they were all brutally mocked by Jackie Lynn Taylor for playing with a girl’s toy.
What happened to Jackie after that?
