- Articles like Davy’s Valentine Memories are why I’m doing this project—this article explains who Ailsa Payne is; her name showed up on a chalkboard in “The Christmas Show”, but if you google her, you’d never know who she was. How Mike and I Met, posted last week, provides a source for the “nine is brown” story; if you google “nine is brown”, there are seven results, only one of which is relevant, and it doesn’t explain where this story came from. So now we know!
