Concerning the signing photos thing....

I am sure people want to impress others with this photo. They could hang it on the wall of their business or their hunting shack. It would let people know where they stand on a number of subjects.

Last week I was hanging out on a film shoot and one of the Actors insisted on doing his own wardrobe. He was playing a meth head loser type and wanted to wear T-shirts with political messages on them.

The Director told him to get costumed or hit the road. The Actor didn't care since he had been paid. The Director didn't care either; the Director didn't want his shirt to distract from the story.

And it was also incongruent. His character is a white trash loser. The shirt was a hard right political statement that reflected the Actor's views. In other words: It was the last statement the character would be making because the character didn't have the intelligence to understand what the shirt said.

He finally reported to costume and the world kept spinning.

So a little can say a lot. Like hanging a picture of Zim in your bar or garage.

Wales tells the Indian that when he takes a liken to people they don't tend to live long. The Indian replies that when Wales took a disliking to people they didn't tend to live long, either.

So the guy decided to get some counseling at the VA. It took about a year or so of this and he changed his outlook on life 100% by understanding that a lot of his troubles were bought on by his behavior and not that of those around him.

Maybe Zim will figure this out, too.
Nah,

Well, now that's he's turned his interaction with Martin into his brand he has no choice but to carry on.

I wonder if twenty years from now he will still be able to keep miking this deal?

I'd say it will be unlikely he will still be around in 20 years....
