Lets play connections!

Virgil Starkwell
Henry Bemis
Ralphie Parker

They all wear thick eyeglasses?

There’s a better connection…

They’ve never been in my kitchen. Oh wait, Henry Bemis was in my kitchen just last year. Carry on.

I’ve not seen “Take the Money and Run”, and can’t find a good online synopsis, but I’ll guess anyway.

Do they all get what they wish for, but it turns out to be a bad thing?

Yes to Mince, I mean no to Mince, and no to BigT.

They all were characters on “Twilight Zone” episodes?

Nope. Only Henry Bemis was.

They all had a gub, I mean gun.

Or, they all had broken eyeglasses and a gub, I mean gun.

“What does apt natural mean?”
Hmmm…that’s a good answer but not the one I was looking for.
They did all have a gun. But there’s something else they have
In common.

Yes! We have a winner. They all broke their own glasses.
I posted my last response before I saw your second guess
