Of Gulpers, Constipation and Mandy Patinkin

Recently there was a little controversy along with some name calling in reference to an actor we discussed here at Sweetpea. Well, maybe I've done a little name calling myself, but it's all in fun. You see, a lot of well respected actors don't inspire much admiration in myself; actually, their acting style makes me laugh. I'll give you another example. I was talking with a friend about "Criminal Minds" the tv show and couldn't remember the name of the main actor, I just said "You know, that guy that always looks constipated" and she said "Yeah, that's Mandy Patinkin." So here is this actor guy who is aclaimed as a great artist, when all of his acting technique actually comes down to is working up an expression on his face indicative of a diet high in cheese. Mandy Patinkin's acting style comes down to looking constipated whenever something serious is happenning --and the more serious the issue on the show, the more constipated he appears. Ok, so where am I going with this? You see, the last few weeks with there's beena a back and forth over someone who is allegedly a stalker, and another poster who sounds like a groupie. Well the main problem in entertainment is not groupies or stalkers --it's a third group, the vast majority I call Gulpers. You see Gulpers are entertainment consumers who are, well, I think the best way to put this, easily amused. They see someone on tv solving a murder mystery, witha very serious, very constipated look on their face --and they think it's great! Gulp Gulp, Gulp Gulp. You'll here them talking excitedly at the office about this great show they watched last night, when they should be working, all excited like they participated in something meaningful, until they get bored with it and the next year are gulping down the same thing in a different format. Well Gulp on this: I am predicting that Mandy Patinkin's next career move is in country music! You heard it here first! Happy Gulping!!!!!! H. Bun for futher info www.satirepatch.blogspot.com
