Charlie O’Connell

There are NOT 3 O’Connell brothers just 2, Jerry and Charlie. I gotta say, he looks real different in this and that may be why I thought there was 3….

David Herman

The thing I knew him from before Office Space was MADtv.

Bubble Wrap Jumpsuit

So I decided to look up the bubble wrap jumpsuit and they are a lot cheaper than they used to be. I found listings ranging from $20-$60. But there is a problem with all the suits I found (note I didn’t look that hard)

1. They are all 2 piece suits instead of a one piece jumpsuit

2. They are all uses the bigger bubble bubble wrap instead of the smaller bubbles. So it doesn’t have the same je ne sais quoi

Fabio

He doesn’t need to have a last name for people to know who you’re talking about, like Cher and Madonna, but he does have one Lanzoni. I looked him up as I was saying I don’t know why he is as famous as he is/was for just being a model for romance novel covers but he was a film star and model in Italy before taking on North America and then he just kept doing what he did and there you go. If you look at his filmography he mainly played himself and everyone seemed to enjoy these little nods that were generally entertaining.

For me he will always be the guy from the book covers

And the guy in these commercials

Animated Cat Lady

This is something I should have picked up but didn’t during my watch of the movie. Chester and Jesse go to the Kitty Kat Club, a cat themed strip joint where is you may attention, you can see it has a a sexy cat lady on its sign. This cat lady looks very similar to the animated cat and I am pretty sure that is the connection.

Also, I think cuz I serched this I keep getting random bird/ostrich things in my feed now. But here are some additional things I learned

1. One ostrich egg is the equivalent of approximately 24 chicken eggs

2. Ostriches lay about 15 – 20 eggs a year

3. They do not lay eggs all year like chickens but have a specific breeding season

4. There are ostrich farms where they harvest both meat and eggs
