I think these train of thought schematics get better the more obscure the character.

The one for Steven, the waiter who was really strong but too nice to get ahead in life, is simple but awesome.  It's a bunch of situations and things arranged in a ring, all with arrows pointing to a box in the middle that says "That's a really good one!"

Has anyone else seen _Brick_ ?  If you haven't, watch it (twice - it's a mystery and it goes by fast and it's hard to catch all the dialogue)

The Pin has a van in that movie.  I want that van, upholstery, lamp, and statuary, driver, and all, so bad words can't even begin.

One of my life goals has been to spend a few years being "that van guy."

A fear of Grace Jones is only natural and understandable. Especially that she will whisk your son away.

Did Grace Jones have a forked tongue? I am too young to know.

i had not heard of her. This grace jones person is terrifying.


the obvious answer is that when Ray was a young guy, in the 80s, she saw him watching/listening to that Grace Jones character, and so she assumes he is still into her or whatever.

The first time I saw Grace Jones was in one of the Bond movies with Roger Moore. I was like twelve or something, and scared. But also strangely intrigued.

Grace Jones is a dude, though, really, right?

According to her Wikipedia article, she once flashed her yams during a concert. At Disney World.

Yup.

Check out the Conan movie. She wears hardly anything on top and there is nothing but muscle there. She's scary as hell. The 80s wave she was riding was androgeny. Think a smaller, black version of Brigitte Nielsen, with any hint of femininity removed. Forcibly.
