My friend Carolyn noted recently that I hadn’t yet written a post about puppets. As it is Carolyn’s birthday today, I intend to rectify the situation immediately with a gem from renaissance man Patrick McGuinn’s film oeuvre. The following was an entry in a Hostess Foods contest some years ago, where the entrants were required to make their own commercial for Twinkies snack cakes (WARNING – if you’ve ever partaken in a late-night drinking session with me at my home, I’ve probably already made you watch this):
According to Patrick, he won second prize in the contest, receiving a Twinkie the Kid watch and a billion cases of Twinkies. He has since gone on to even bigger and better things, but I will always be grateful to him for introducing me to Vincent.
Hey! Your friend Carolyn and I live in the same building. But her apartment has a better view. Her apartment probably doesn’t have a three foot burn area either.
