Who would play Randy Quaid in a Randy Quaid biopic?

In a post in response to a recent post here regarding Randy Quaid, my friends* at DasBrodeo.com discuss who would play Randy Quaid in the Randy Quaid biopic that certainly needs to be made. I say James Franco.

*- When I say “my friends,” in this case, I mean my actual real-life friends. You will notice a bunch of pictures of me on the website, because the background of the site is a bunch of pictures of us from various baseball road trips. “Das Brodeo” is German for “The Brodeo.” “The Brodeo” was the name of our sketch-comedy show in college.

The TMNT pizza challenge

For some reason, possibly drugs, a group of humans decided to try all the weird pizzas Michelangelo ordered on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons. Slightly related anecdote: My college roommate worked in a pizzeria that used one-letter codes for toppings, so the person would write down the letter corresponding to each topping then hand the slip to the person making pizzas. P was pepperoni, M was mushrooms, E was meatballs, N was pineapples, etc. He worked there so he knew the code. We used to prank the place by ordering pizzas that spelled funny things. But usually I’d start giggling or the woman would be like “wait a minute, who is this?” when she looked down at the slip and saw the beginning of something obscene.

Lenny Dykstra still going

The New York Post has given Lenny Dykstra a platform, and I suppose if I were in a different mood I could have a good deal of fun with it. But honestly — and like a lot of the content in the Post, I suppose — it reads a bit like something off a crazy person’s hand-scrawled placard. It’s easy to make Dykstra into a punchline because we once knew him as the hard-partying dirty-uniform ballplayer, and I’m sure if anyone asked him he’d curse me and say he didn’t want my sympathy, but man… what a sad, sad dude.
