Toasted Pumpkin Muffin or Encoded Video Delivery System?
Posted by Johnny
I had a big breakfast with BW before our little meeting with the head honcho at Channel 1. You see, among other things, BW and I have a very good understanding of each other and what we, well, what I can handle mentally. When it comes to the nuts and bolts, I like him in my corner to talk the talk and then translate for me later. I have tried earnestly to participate in such discussions, but always get bored and start thinking about drawing kites or watching kittens frolic under rainbows. Hey, I know my strengths and my weaknesses.

Overheard at the BW/Channel 1 business meeting:
“Here I brought you - Damn, we mistook Vogue for that Unzipped issue AGAIN.”
“Johnny doesn’t need to bleach his hair to play Goldilocks, trust me. Been there, done that and done that and done that. Wanna see the audition tape?”
“He IS big. It’s the computers that got small!”
“No need for lines. He can say whatever he wants with his eyes.”
“That’s not his eye, that’s a tattoo.”
“All right, one line. We’ll pick: ‘Unfasten your safety belts, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.’”
“If you take this show on the road, you MUST pass through Philly. Don’t ask.”
“The catering must be done exclusively by Aquitaine. This is non negotiable.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Triple cheese-and-broccoli lasagna with duck à l’orange and Burgundy wine are excellent for stamina and muscle definition.”
“What do you mean, ‘can he perform with a full mouth’? Oh, the single! No problem. Just put the mike on his partner.”
“Yes, you can have him in a sling all night long. Whatever you do, don’t feed him fried shrimp after midnight.”
“What, you’ve never seen ‘Gremlins’?”
“If you think that dildo is large, you should see some of his t-shirts.”
“Of course it’s customary to take your Ma along. Even pornstars need their socks mended.”
“That reminds me: the dressing room must come equipped with a sewing machine. And could you provide some really fine silk too?”
“Oh this isn’t an obscene drawing, it’s a kite.”
“No, Johnny’s not bored. He just wants to know if he can play with your kitten while we talk.”
“Actually, he meant that little calico cat over there.”
“You’ll have to excuse him. Big breakfasts tend to make him sleepy.”
