Thanksgiving Food Chain

Posted by Ryan Adams On November - 26 - 2009

Click the Taji’s close-up to consider his thoughts on the Thanksgiving Food Chain. This little storyboard might be a metaphor for Oscar season. The squirrel represents bloggers, Taji portrays studio execs, and the nuggets of corn are press junkets.

      ROFL Ryan, this made my day. I watched “Eraserhead” with my girlfriend for a paper I was writing, and that chicken dinner scene put her off of chicken for a month. Even now, I love to tease her when I remind her of “when that chicken was on it’s period”.

      Happy Thanksgiving, my friend.

      Lmao! I think Taji and the squirrel played Peter Jackson and Harry Knowles excellently. Harry/squirrel is thankful for schmoozing with celebrities and Peter/Taji is thankful to Harry for his obligatory “you scratch my back I scratch yours that`s what friends are for” review of LB that helps it stay right above Transformers 2 on tomatometer. ;)

      Maybe Taji is Oprah and the squirrels are the cast from Nine.
      And the golden corn kernels are Oscar nominations.

      Uh-um, Ryan, your storyboard:

      “The squirrel represents bloggers, Taji portrays studio execs, and the nuggets of corn are press junkets.”

      So they cannot possibly be Oprah and the cast of Nine. :)

      Well, it’s Taji’s storyboard, and who knows what goes on in his mind? He doesn’t give interviews. He lets the work speak for itself.

      Oh, how gorgeous russian blue. I have one too, but she prefers to stalk our neighbors and any kind of birds.

      I am so glad I watched that scene AFTER Thanksgiving.
