Edgar Friendly:
You see, according to Cocteau's plan I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green jello all over my body reading playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener".

  It was starting to become reality then. Suddenly muffins were the only food you could eat. No smoking. Better work out......I think this is just an extrapolation of what was just beginning. But it's a damn accurate one. more »

  Ellen Yarbrough Thankful that Trump has stopped or at least stalled the progress toward Cocteau's future. I was starting to worry I'd end up like Edgar Friendly during the Obama years.
