Killer Chops
Today when I got to work at WLUK Fox 11, they sent me on an errand to a place called Pulse to pick up a commercial spot for VanVreedes. It was supposed to be done at around Three. I arrived at around five after, but the dubs were not finished as of yet. The receptionist went to see what the hold up was and came back with the guy doing the dubs. He saw my chops and told me they were the coolest sideburns he has seen in over twenty years. He tells me that it would be another ten minutes and since I had cool burns and worked for WLUK, I could come back and see how the dubs were made instead of waiting in the lobby. Turns out he used to work at WLUK on the floor crew way back in the early 70's (when the station had a tab at a local bar and would let the employees drink on them). I guess times were a little different back then. Anyway, not only does this guy work for Pulse, but he also is the host of the late night horror show "Chiller Theatre". That's right, Ned The Dead said I had the coolest chops he had seen in over twenty years.

Ned the Dead is one of the coolest Wisconsin personalities ever.
I remember when he used to be on when I was little kid. The whole idea of this guy running public domain B-horror films from his basement really creeped me out. Then he went off the air.
Once I got older and appreciated that kind of passion for campy stuff, he suddenly appeared on the air again. I then realized that just about every network used to have a guy like him that got to do stuff like that. He flat-out rules.
I like it when he laughs and slams his hand against the set.
You need to keep Mr. Dead as a contact, and have him show up at your next halloween party. If that's not an excuse to keep growing your chops, I don't know what is.
Weren't you scared of Ned the Dead, Ryan?
First Drew Smith, now Ned the Dead? Ben's 'burns are making him popular with the local TV personalities.
Too bad Sherry's going to make him shave. Ha.
Yeah, like I said, he used to really scare me as a kid. It was just sort of bizarre to try to make sense of what he did when your 5 years old.
Ben, You need to grow a goatee. That way, as the weeks go on, your chops and your goatee will get closer and closer to connecting, until that magical day when they become one.
It'll be like the facial-hair equal to the Golden Spike. East meets west.
Nah, he should just grow a guy-from-Smashmouth style chinstrap like John.
Maybe instead of the Chinstrap I could go for the Abe Lincoln, or perhaps shave the burns altogether and go for a curly handlebar mustache.
I like it when guys shave their heads, and keep JUST the chops. If you went ahead and did that one day, I'm sure you could get it just the way you like it before the divorce was final.
The Abe Lincoln? Only if you wore a top hat 24/7. You can't half-ass these things.
Curly handlebar? Only if you wore a one-piece red and white striped swimsuit to the beach. Then you could run around all fast, as was the style of the films at the time.
New post! New post! New post!
Yeah...what about all that D.C. stuff you had? Get on it, ya bum. You're not THAT busy.
Dude, I've got HUGE 'Lost' news on my page right now.
You're seriously going to flip the hell out.
Ben, want me to jazz up your site a little? I think I've got the hang of this blog-template thing. Let me know what you want and I'll throw you something together. Unless if you're happy with this boring, blocky layout.
Great work!
