Achewood / Re: Cartilage head connection?

Thanks for the welcome - good to be here.

Just have to share one more story I learned about Pritikin and his performance art.  Remember the 2005 incident where a woman "found" a human finger in a bowl of Wendy's chile (it was a real finger, but she planted it)?  This guy invites folks to his house a few months later, charters a bus (with cocktail service), takes them 50 miles south to the Wendy's in question, and serves them chile.  In each chile bowl is a realistic-looking "finger" he's made out of bread, ink, and press-on nails.

Definite CH move.  Although he'd probably use his own finger and hand you a little card from his bandaged hand.

Achewood / Cartilage head connection?
« on: September 25, 2009, 12:09:47 am »
Hi all,

I'm a diehard Achewood fan who joined the forum just now to have someplace to ask this question:

So I'm having drinks with a long-time San Francisco resident last night, and he starts talking about this guy Bob Pritikin.  He's a local tycoon who lives in a freakin' STRANGE mansion just blocks from me in Glen Park (SF), hosts musical saw concerts, and according to the SF Examiner put on magic shows called the “Pritikin Squished Eyeball Theater (World Class Magic with a Touch of Terror).”  Sound like anyone we know?

So of course I start wondering if this local bit of Bay Area weirdness was one of Onstad's inspirations for CH.  Spent some time on Google and found lots of stuff about Pritikin (he even has a Wikipedia page) but turned up nothing related to Achewood.  What do you think?  Has anyone else made this connection, or am I smokin' crack?

BTW, has anyone else noticed that the captcha confirm-you're-human thingy looks, uniquely on this site, like the lettering from a Nagel-esque 80s album cover?
