In which Cornelius undertakes a perilous task, and a salad is eaten

i really dig this punchline, even if the dialog is still a bit stad-handed. corny took a prison cell and turned it in to a bukowski-meets-bed bath & beyond hotel room in probably under an hour. this is the dude i wish was my roommate before i met my wife.

Post by: wombat on February 22, 2014, 04:44:20 pm: They are lucky to have Cornelius. And now that I say that I realized I don't understand what's in it for him. Why doesn't he find friends who are as civilized as he is?

I feel like he might be enjoying being the big giraffe. He seems even more civilized and competent compared to those around him.

(Mr Bear is so awesome. With everything he puts up with, he still just wants his friends to be happy. So happy Achewood's back.)

I sort of accept that alive stuffed animals are forced to have relationships dictated by their owner's toy collections and pets. That convention is so buried at this point that I feel like a crazy person for accepting it though.

Post by: ianmalcolm2 on February 24, 2014, 07:50:09 pm: I'm not really sure how to interpret what the decor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iAqo4VNMAg) has to say about Téodor's tastes. Or Mr. Bear's, for that matter.

Also, am I just a dum-dum for not understanding Connie's thing with the anti-convulsants?

Post by: pmcd9 on February 24, 2014, 09:21:19 pm: No one has mentioned the Beau Brummels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beau_Brummels) poster so I will. Probably most of you pups have never heard of this band. They were an American Beatles knock off from the early 60s. They had a monster hit with Laugh Laugh (http://youtu.be/1_GeYgT58d0). They also had a big hit with Just a Little (http://youtu.be/QvZjldFCzco). But this poster is from Triangle (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7039/7006654001_d8b40b792d_o.jpg), one of their later albums when they had morphed into full on Psychedelica (http://youtu.be/5iAqo4VNMAg).

I caught it! I caught it! Look at me! Validate me!

I guess the framed record is just a piece of Connie's Americanized anglophilia. Now I find myself thirstin' for some armagnac.

Post by: pmcd9 on February 24, 2014, 09:54:43 pm: I missed your comment Malcolm. Sorry about that. But what I want to know is had you ever heard of this band or did you Google it?
Title: Re: Feb 21 2014 - Fry it in butter 'til it matters
Post by: ianmalcolm2 on February 24, 2014, 10:14:03 pm: ^ you beat me there, Paul. I am but a poser on this front. Weirdly, I was familiar with Beau Brummell the 19th c. dandy, but I had never heard of the band. Been listening to Triangle today while working, and I'm enjoying it though
Title: Re: Feb 21 2014 - Fry it in butter 'til it matters
Post by: pmcd9 on February 24, 2014, 10:23:01 pm: To be fair I had never heard of Triangle, it wasn't exactly a hit. I knew of their big hits and I actually have one of their early albums that I picked up at a garage sale in the 80s. It's really good Beatlesque pop music.
Title: Re: Feb 21 2014 - Fry it in butter 'til it matters
Post by: theinevitable on February 24, 2014, 11:16:10 pm: I have a couple of their songs from 60s compilations, but listening to them now none of them are familiar. Hmm.

I think the idea is that Cornelius would be so traumatized by T's mess he'd get the Conniptions?
