heywoodpink: i sort of feel like i could string together the elements of a wes anderson movie by now though
loopstrange: ok go!
heywoodpink: um there could be a busker who needs to finance a trip to canada to visit his mother, his sister who um actually i think i am crap at this!
loopstrange: no, don't doubt yourself...
loopstrange: who is the busker played by?
heywoodpink: oh i suppose i am just getting at the make it up as one goes along aspect of it
heywoodpink: the busker is played by someone with a beard
loopstrange: yes he seems to like beards
loopstrange: that means the busker has a secret
heywoodpink: and he is also lazy
loopstrange: he left his souzaphone at home
loopstrange: and his busking is now just telling wildly implausible stories to passers by
heywoodpink: his sister is a buyer at a used goods store
heywoodpink: and she is writing a novel based on people who try selling her weird things
loopstrange: she has red hair
heywoodpink: her boyfriend is obsessed with Polish folklore to the extent of dressing up in their national costume and speaking Polish, even though his parents are from Nicaragua
loopstrange: lol
loopstrange: the busker reaches a diner in the lonesome desert
heywoodpink: with a help wanted sign
loopstrange: he fancies a plate of "flapjacks" so he enquires about the job
loopstrange: but it turns out the vacancy is for a violinist to entertain the patrons
loopstrange: he calls up his sister to see if she has bought a used violin lately
heywoodpink: while awaiting his violin, he becomes acquainted with an amnesiac clairvoyant named Elenore
loopstrange: she starts telling him about his life to come
loopstrange: some of the things she says are nearly identical to the wildly implausible stories he himself has beeen imparting to various folks
heywoodpink: one of the terms of his contract as a violinist is that he must live with the restaurant owners
loopstrange: they have a dog named chow chow
heywoodpink: who forces him to alter his repertoire because when he is practising, his rendition of A Hard Day's Night always makes the dog hump his leg
loopstrange: LOL
loopstrange: he becomes addicted to Elenores predictions about his life to come and stays on at the diner for a long time. then the predictions become fewer and less detailed because he is IN A RUT
heywoodpink: so instead of A Hard Day's Night he plays an old Polish tune he heard from his sister's boyfriend
loopstrange: the restaurant owners hear it and kick him out because
heywoodpink: he is demoted to backup violinist status after the atonal qualities of the tune begin to scare customers
heywoodpink: oh whoops, he is kicked out as a consequence, not demoted
loopstrange: yeah eh needs out of that diner
heywoodpink: his sister comes to pick him up and he gets into a fight with her boyfriend
loopstrange: his sister is in trouble, someone has tried to sell her a cryogenically preserved head
loopstrange: the niciraguan boyf is no help, he is too obsessed with the ways of the Poles
heywoodpink: and he is no longer capable of communicating in English or Spanish, he merely speaks in tongues of rapid incomprehensible Polish
loopstrange: the FBI are on their tail
loopstrange: of course Elenor has predicted all this
heywoodpink: so they track her down and she refuses to divulge the secrets of his future
loopstrange: the busker tries in vain to remeber some of her predictions more clearly
loopstrange: but all he can think of is chow chow
loopstrange: he shakes his fist at god
heywoodpink: and decides that the only solution is to hold his ex-bosses to ransom for chow chow
loopstrange: so they sneak back to the diner to get him
loopstrange: they take the cryogenically preserved head in case of emergency
heywoodpink: when they receive a call that their mother has gone into a coma
loopstrange: and desperately needs a head transplant
heywoodpink: but the only way they can fund the head transplant is by donating the head to science, and they don't know where to find another head
loopstrange: they look on Ebay and in the Buy, Sell and Exchange
loopstrange: Ebay is useless, but the B,S and E has a head in the Free section
heywoodpink: but it belongs to the parents of the busker's sister's ex-boyfriend...it is the head of a Polish miner's wife, and they are giving the head away in an attempt to shock him back into coherence
loopstrange: surely that would be a niciraguan head?
heywoodpink: oh actually the head belongs to him, but they have taken it from him...that's better
loopstrange: they have to drive to Bloomington, indiana to get the head
loopstrange: they take chow chow in case of emergency
heywoodpink: they get the money and charter a helicopter to Halifax, Nova Soctia
heywoodpink: oops Scotia, where their mum is
loopstrange: the mother looks ashen, wretched
heywoodpink: i think the music that is playing at this point is probably important
loopstrange: funky town by pseudo echo?
heywoodpink: hahaha well yes that can be playing on the hospital muzak speakers
loopstrange: she reaches out to her children, with love and gratitude in her eyes
loopstrange: 'my dearest kids, did you get me a new head?"
loopstrange: they shift uncomfortably
loopstrange: chow chow does a wee in the corner
heywoodpink: she hears a burbling sound and says 'what's that?'
heywoodpink: it is the head clanking around in the tank
loopstrange: it's DEFROSTING!
heywoodpink: yeah human heads don't clank, do they?
loopstrange: it would if it was partially frozen and perhaps in a stainless stell receptacle
loopstrange: and was wearing nicaraguan jewelery
heywoodpink: so then they start clamouring for surgeons and fast really urgent music starts playing, like Take On Me by A-Ha, which is appropriate because the lyrics say 'i'll be gone in a day'
loopstrange: chow chow bites a staff nurse
heywoodpink: who requires a tetanus shot
loopstrange:
heywoodpink: just a sec
heywoodpink: whoops i do not know what i am doing
loopstrange: me either
heywoodpink: i would just have to cut and paste the whole thing to her but that is impossible, i can save the movie though
heywoodpink: we need an ending first and also music under the credits and a narrator

Fergus noodle: ah ha!
heywoodpink: there you are
loopstrange: fergus can help us now!
heywoodpink: right now where was our movie
loopstrange: okay
loopstrange: ...chow chow bites a staff nurse, who then needs a tetanus shot
Fergus noodle: who is chow chow?
heywoodpink: and the head transplant can only proceed when she has had her shot
loopstrange: she is swearing like a sailor
loopstrange: and has to be held down by the busker and his sister
Fergus noodle: does she wear a bobble hat though?
heywoodpink: yeah she does, under her surgical hat thing
loopstrange: there are not many staff on at the hospital, because it is Shrove Wednesday. The staff who are there are wearing bobble hats to celebrate
Fergus noodle: and they have a pop hit called orange box around my heart
heywoodpink: that can be the music that plays under the credits
loopstrange: the transplant goes smoothly
Fergus noodle: Dr Casinowin has the hots for Dr McSpadgemonkey also i think
heywoodpink: and you can feel the sexual tension as they operate
heywoodpink: the dog doesn't like it
Fergus noodle: they play footsies under the operating table
loopstrange: he gets locked in the hospital caf until he can calm down
loopstrange: (that's chow chow, not Dr. McSpadgemonkey)
Fergus noodle: this is one hot operation
Fergus noodle: Dr Spadgemonkeys lip grows to be the size of the opera house
heywoodpink: the mother adopts chow chow as her companion to ward off the strange neighbour who plays polo and is incessantly inviting her over to observe his collection of cricket bats
loopstrange: but wait, she has to adjust to her new head!
loopstrange: a bobble hat might help
