The greater Illinois pork council approves of this perpetuation of misdirection

@jack-dodds ..... I couldn`t break away from your inspired narrative to go grab my already brewed coffee Jack.....that`s how good it is

......your cohesive flow has never been more polished or satisfying......it was your name in the trades that drew such massive talents to this production!!!!

......who knew Arnold Ziffle and Cole Porter could bury their decades old pig flesh argument and once again work on the same set 

......David Soul was so honored to be part of the production that he worked without pay .....with the stipulation that he receive a brand new hutch for his den

.......Willie Schumacher,who had no lines or any time in the camera lens,was nevertheless honored with a highly detailed Tarpaulin statue at the opening night premier performance

tarp axe petrol can

 

Yes the director, Fenton Quarantino was relieved to see Arnold and Cole bury the cobbling tool as it were and work on set for the first time since Arnold had chewed up Cole's piano leg many years earlier in the throes of a teething frenzy. 

Sole had reluctantly signed on but resented the stipulation that he must not sing at any time.  His frustration was well founded; he had hoped to showcase his rendition of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" in an attempt to silence his critics who had made fun of his short lived singing career.  Strangely, he was ultimately placated by the studio giving him a well used red '75 Torino coupe found buried under debris in the prop warehouse.

Willie was over the moon with being acknowledged as Best Wrapped Cadaver in a Short Film by the Actor's Guild.  The mood at the award ceremony was dampened momentarily however when Arnold, well into his champagne, bitterly shouted out "now you all can see how it feels to be a pig in a blanket", before falling out of his chair and being roughly extracted by security, squealing and lashing out as he left.  Many attendees gossiped that he may never work again in the industry as a result of his ill-timed outburst.

Not an easy or pleasant thing to witness,the downfall of a much admired actor......although living a hermit-like existence, these recent drone supplied images reveal the extent to which Arnold has fallen ...... Pale and withdrawn now,we can scarce remember all the times he effortlessly outsmarted Eddie Albert

@john-barry Sad to see indeed!  Rumor in the business has it that Arnold has been calling meat packers in a drunken stupor, daring them to come get him; bragging that if they did in fact process him he would never be The Weakest Link.

@john-barry   Iiiiiiiiii dunno JayBee; I'm hearing corn mash extract is Arnold's curse !  Apparently he lost his sty from rent arrears and turned into a land rover.....fleeing on cloven hoof from his own reality.

@john-barry  Dave's joy about his new hutch was short lived I hear;  a pane in one of the doors was broken on arrival.  He claims to know a glaser though.

David Soul was america`s Hutch in the late 70`s when he portrayed Detective Kenneth "Hutch" Hutchinson.......his partner on the series was either Detective Starsky or a certain Mr Huggybear.....depending on who you speak to

All furniture deliveries to the Soul estate are now under a cease and desist command.....Thank you and GOOD DAY SIR!

Thank you DB......the story is the creative work of Jack Dodds........I`m always grateful when he comes along and explains the deepest desires and actual names of my indentured characters......sometimes,he gets them on the very first attempt
