[Doc]

I remembered the terrifying face of the hull (a la Red Meat), the head of Johnny Cash, and the BAM! cooking guy

I think we are safe here since the people we have seen in achewood are celebrities and therefore not really real, (well the hull face wasn't actually a person at all so that's ok too) they end up being characitures (how in the hell do you spell that word?) which would be too weird to do for someone you know.
Of course now tomorrow's strip is probably just going to be the baby's face stone cold glaring at us.

"Caricature," boss.

And am I the only one that finds it ironic that we're learning about what's wrong with rap from a Slate article? Do they have any shred of jurisprudence in this matter?

[Emergent_C]

yeah, if the baby had to have a face, I could handle it if it were a crazy, wacky face like that.  As long as the baby is really far removed from reality, really terrifyingly disconnected from the "awe shucks" life, I can deal.

Maybe she's the baby from Eraserhead? She doesn't seem to have any legs, after all.

Ah the Eraserhead baby.  On an Eraserhead documentary I saw a while ago, some of the cast talked about how that baby puppet, which was made by Lynch himself, stank more and more each day of shooting, and Lynch himself has admitted that the placenta's falling form the sky in the Radiator Lady segments were indeed actual medical wastel placenta and after birth.  He talked about how he had a friend who worked for a hospital but also works for his films.  Jack Nance talked about how the odour of the baby made acting repulsed real, real easy in that documentary too.  Also in the same documentary, I learned that the woman who played the baby's mother is also the woman who became the Log Lady in Twin Peaks.

Actually, the Eraserhead baby's mother (Charlotte Stewart) went on to play Bobby's mother in Twin Peaks.   She wasn't in the show a whole lot.   Catherine Coulson played the log lady and she wasn't actually in Eraserhead, but she did production work behind the camera.

I'm not trying to be Pat.

From our friend Lileks.com's Bleat today:

Now the weekend – tomorrow is another vacation day for Gnat, with Target and piano and pizza and a nice glass of Ancient Shenanigan.

Wow, I thought that everybody had given up on the Bleat. Way to keep us updated, Wombat.

Nah, I still read it most days.  I do appreciate that he's separated out his puerile political views.

Wow, he has? Maybe now I should pick it up again.

Oh, you know, when I wast posting it, I kind of thought, should I look this up?  But I am lazy, so thank you.  Did you see the documentary I was talking about?  Do you know what it's called?  I think I stumbled upon it on some upper cable channel.
