…He’s covered in meat…

Meatsuit!  It’s better than imagined with the bacon-overalls.

Despite all being released in 2004, I was always under the impression that Inkling of Doubt was the prequel to Bring Back My Squid, whose sequel Black! Blaque! Blacch!  probably was most critically acclaimed. 
Spaghetti western omelet trilogies are weird like that, though.

Arnold’s next break came when he made an appearance on The Merv Griffen Show, a popular television talk show.  Arnold was on to speak about bodybuilding.  The great comedienne Lucille Ball just happened to see the show, and was struck by Arnold’s charm and wit.  Lucy phoned Arnold and invited him to appear with her on her upcoming TV special called Happy Anniversary and Good-bye, co-starring Art Carney.  Lucy arranged for Arnold to take acting lessons before his appearance. 

Arnold applied the acting lessons Lucy provided to his next film project.  Director Bob Rafelson, fresh off of his success with the film Five Easy Pieces, needed an actor to play the part of a bodybuilder named Joe Santo in his upcoming film Stay Hungry. 

The author of the book Stay Hungry, Charles Gaines, arranged a meeting between Arnold and Rafelson.  Arnold got the part.  He loved playing a bodybuilder.  In the movie he falls in love with the woman who runs the gym where he trains.  This part was played by Sally Fields.  Jeff Bridges also starred in the movie, which was released in 1976. 

“He worked so hard on the details,” recalls director Rafelson.  “One scene called for Joe Santo to play the fiddle.  Arnold practiced the movement of playing so much that when we finally filmed it, it looked like he was really playing the fiddle!”

When I wear my lab goggles as a hat, I report numbers without judgment.

All the blessings of the season of Martin Luther King Day.  I’d made a mental note, when I had been weirdly loitering there last year, that the Chelsea Market Christmas Light Detanglers could very well turn out to be TWO Jonathan Coultons in a decade or two. (Or half a Coulton each, I’m not sure how the math works out.)  (It probably doesn’t.) 

This is actually another post, it’s called “I hate myself”.
