Guest beardo Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 From The Onion: WALKEN IN L.A. By Christopher Walken Frank commentary on Hollywood from someone who knows This week, The Onion picks up another popular syndicated column: Christopher Walken's "Walken in L.A." For the last two years, Mr. Walken has provided his readers with consistently insightful commentary into the entertainment industry. His column already appears regularly in Variety and Rolling Stone, as well as in dozens of smaller newspapers and magazines. We're proud to welcome this celebrated actor and columnist to our pages. Do you enjoy eating hot dogs? I hope you won't be put off by my frankness when I tell you that I absolutely love them. In fact, I enjoy no food item more than a freshly-boiled hot dog. Now, I've done a lot of movies, and it's true that I've worked with quite a few celebrities who did not share this opinion. I'm sorry to say that these people have always angered me. There are two types of people in this world: those who eat hot dogs whenever it is possible to do so, and those who opt to do other things with their free time. Who do the latter think they are kidding? What pastime could be more rewarding than the consumption of hot dogs? I haven't yet found one, and I don't expect to in my lifetime. Unlike other foods, hot dogs can be eaten at any time, in any place, and it is not necessary to cook them. Now, I ask you: Why not eat hot dogs? They are delicious. I carry a bag of hot dogs with me wherever I go. I eat them from the bag whenever I get the urge, regardless of the circumstances. When I make a movie, my hot dogs are my co-stars. If, in the middle of a scene, I decide I want to consume a hot dog, I do so. I waste the director's time and thousands of dollars in film stock, but in the end, it is all worth it, because I enjoy eating hot dogs more than I enjoy acting. This bothers some people. I was supposed to portray Batman, but when Tim Burton learned of my hot dog cravings, he asked Michael Keaton to wear the cape. To this day, I am peeved about this. When we filmed The Dead Zone, I ate over 800 hot dogs a day. It was necessary. My character needed to come across as intense as possible, and I found the inspiration for that intensity in my intense love for hot dogs. The director, David Cronenberg, said that he would never work with me again. I kept eating hot dogs when the cameras were rolling, and that seemed to bother him. I say @!#$ him. He doesn't even like hot dogs. I would like to end by emphasizing once again that I really like to eat hot dogs. If any of you people disagree, I loathe you. I despise you. Not only that, but I also despise all your loved ones. I want to see them torn to pieces by wild dogs. If I ever meet you in person, I'll smash your brains in with a @!#$ bat. Then we'll see who doesn't like hot dogs. ----------------------------------- this is the funniest shit i have ever read in my entire life.

THE DEVIL! Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I was Rolling sushi today, and I got the bright Idea to put a raw hotdog in a roll. I sliced, and ate it in front of the Sous Chef. He suggested Ketchup & Mustard. It was MAD fucked up. The sushi roll for Japanese baseball in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggernaut Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 the clenchers for me were: "my hot dogs are my co-stars." and: "Then we'll see who doesn't like hot dogs." beating peoples' heads in with a bat isn't funny, but the follow-up had me laughing. funny article all the way through. * i just noticed this line: "i hope you won't be put off by my frankness..." :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
