Alright, I live in Idaho. Spare me the potato jokes schmoes, we are here for business.
Friend of mine was like, "You gotta see Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, it's the bomb!" Let's keep perspective here, this is the same moron that was like, "Hey, I found my WHAM! album "Make it Big", we need to listen to it!" I digress...
So, I figure a pint of Dewar's and a couple sixers of Newcastle Brown will make even that Snoop-Dog movie about some vampire guy watchable. So, what the hell, right? Let's head to the video store.
We're in line, we have in our hot little hands our copy of the movie and I'm sittin' there thinkin' about the booze in the car. My buddy is gettin' rubbed against by some single mom (maybe she was just a nanny with stretch-marks) completely on "accient", but we know that it's her attempt to get to me. I'm that hot. Once again, digression.
So the overly exuberant guy behind the counter begins telling us about his life story. I owe this store about $1200.00, so I pretend to give a shit. He's all like, "I LOVE KEVIN SMITH!" and I thought, "The Cure fucking sucks dude" but continued my feigned interest all the same.
Here is where the Twilight-Zone music starts up. Buddy the video-store guy starts saying how the guy that made this movie (Kevin Smith does not sing for the Cure, but is indeed "Silent Bob" in the movies, so I was like, "Oh, he's pretty cool.") lived in Idaho. Uhhh, huh. To add insult to injury he then says that the next movie is supposed to be about a street in Kuna. Let me give you some perspective here. Find the most inbred, backwoods place you can find in Louisana or Alabama. A town with a single stop-sign, only you can't tell it's a stop-sign because of the shotgun damage to it. Red, ex-octagon is about as close as you can tell. Now, take the person in that town that has a family tree...sans branches, if you get my drift. Kuna, folks, is the place that THAT guy makes fun of for being hick. It's backwoods. Cow-tipping has a varsity team in Kuna. OK, it's not really quite that bad, but whatever takes the heat off me living in the "capital" of the great potato state is grand...so we make fun of Kuna.
Has anyone, reds welcome to reply (I, in quite an atypical, unmanly style read the instructions to the board before starting this post), heard of such things? A movie about Kuna, Idaho? Come on, say it ain't so. If it is, that's cool. Rumor or unadulterated horseshit?
