Yeah! But he was such a dimbulb that I often felt compelled to scold him using his full name.

It's my Beaver Trilogy. I'm the first installment, then someone (probably not Sean Penn, maybe someone classy like Sarah Polley) will come along and fictionalize this talent show, and that will then be made into another 3rd installment by a known Hollywood weirdo (I am hoping for the woman fka JT Leroy) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beaver_Trilogy
Then all three installments will not be released on DVD ever.

god, I think I have the beaver trilogy sitting on my hardrive somewhere, I should actually watch it one day
though the trilogy can't really be as good as the this american life piece about it
― the glass of beer (askance johnson), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 16:26 (twelve years ago) link
I dunno, I think it might be. No Ira Glass, for one.

beaver trilogy, sounds like my prom night!
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 16:38 (twelve years ago) link
I just had a great idea.
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
Is it about Nick's prom night?
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
No but it relates to the Beaver Trilogy. I'm actually the THIRD part.
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
Me too!

Anyway, not to be a PEDANT, but doesn't Agathon from BSG spell his first name with a K?
yes but i like carl agatha more than karl agatha, so i think Jenny should keep it
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
ALSO CAN I BE A SHILL FOR A SECOND and encourage you all to attend the (erotic) FICTION CONTEST held by Jenny-Carl's health organization at which:
Hey, am I actually reading in this thing? I said I would but I don't remember if I got confirmation. Sadly I'm pretty sure that whatever I read will definitely not touch last year's selection.

Jesse--this will be a great warm-up for your one-man show!

Are you guys writing this stuff, or is it like smut karaoke?
― ‘Neuroscience’ and ‘near death’ pepper (Eazy), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
xpost he does, but carl agatha spells it with a c.
Jesse, it will prob be like last year and you'll just have to show up and volunteer.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
I am not writing anything. I only WISH I had written what I read last year. It's really a shame the video didn't turn out b/c that was one of my top 10 shining moments in life. SEMI-EDIBLE SLURRY (paraphrased?)
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:13 (twelve years ago) link
I wrote mine, but it is high concept and involves images and a projector.
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:26 (twelve years ago) link
Oh! Wow.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:29 (twelve years ago) link
Is accidentally-racist-jokes karaoke in that Top 10?
― ‘Neuroscience’ and ‘near death’ pepper (Eazy), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
Definitely.

have any of you guys been to native foods? it's a vegan restaurant chain and there's one in the loop on south clark. i'm intrigued, might check it out next time i have $$$ to eat out: http://nativefoods.com/
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:28 (twelve years ago) link
I haven't been, but a non-veg friend was talking up the one in Wicker Park. Sounded promising.
― long duk dan (dan m), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:33 (twelve years ago) link
if i were in WP i'd probably eat somewhere else but for the loop it's exciting.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link
i just mean there are lots of interesting places with veggie options in WP, not so much downtown
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
i go to the loop 2-3x a year
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
maybe a few times more
i remember when i only went to the loop 2-3 times a year. i was so young then. so naive.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
Let's line up by how many times you've been to the loop.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks to school I pretty much live there.
― tanuki, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks to work I pretty much work there.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:42 (twelve years ago) link
I've probably only ever been to the loop like a couple dozen times.
However, I have a workshop at the Harold Washington Library next Friday and I'm really excited! I will be able to ride the el to work and everything.

my life: where is it going, where has it been
i literally lived in the loop, at the center of the coordinate system, when i lived in the dorms my first year of college
― 1staethyr, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:48 (twelve years ago) link
Those art institute kids that are in the dorm beside my work smoke a lot of cigarettes.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:50 (twelve years ago) link
Columbia students smoke a lot of cigarettes. Actually, people in the South Loop in general smoke a lot of cigarettes.
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:52 (twelve years ago) link
I kind of wish I smoked a lot of cigarettes.
― the glass of beer (askance johnson), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:54 (twelve years ago) link
i was always bugged out that culinary students at CHIC (when i worked next door to CHIC) smoked so much - like don't you need those taste buds, dudes?
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:56 (twelve years ago) link
also did you know cigarettes cost like $8 a pack? i don't understand how anyone affords a serious smoking habit.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:57 (twelve years ago) link
I feel like all cooks/chefs smoke? Maybe I just get that from anthony bourdain.

i smoked a lot of cigarettes outside of my saic dorm. i was in the one by carson pirie-scott, though, not the fancy newer one across from the chicago theater. (xp i have no idea which one you work by)
― 1staethyr, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:58 (twelve years ago) link
when I started smoking circa 1992, cigarettes where $2.50 a pack. A GOLDEN AGE>

I worked on Jackson 6+ yrs ago! Technically I've only ever worked in THE LOOP for about a year, cumulatively.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
who r u 1staethyr?
the only time i smoked was when i lived in india and you could buy half-packs or even single cigarettes from the tobacco dudes
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:01 (twelve years ago) link
I smoked a lot when I was a line cook
well, not while working
― long duk dan (dan m), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:02 (twelve years ago) link
Pretty OTM.
And I smoked a cigarette w/ the wine director at B!n 36. My former co-worker who used to work at B!n said that despite being a heavy smoker, but she had an incredible nose on her.
