I am working on channelling my inner Bob Wiley for Halloween this year. I have done nothing as far as a costume goes but that is fairly easy. I mean, I may not splurge for the shirt and just go with a wind breaker, green shorts, light blue socks and my dress shoes. Naturally I will hang Gill around my neck in a jar. I might even do an extra large jar just for dramatic effect.
In my efforts to become more familiar with this incredible character I have been watching What About Bob. I had Natty and Andy in watching some of it as well and I just kept laughing at little things that Bob does. It reminds me of Mike. There was a time back in the mid to late 90's when Mike studied both What About Bob and Groundhogs Day - both are amazing movies. Mike developed many of Bill Murray's mannerisms based on these two movies. I remember seeing the Man Who Knew Too Little. It was great. I watched Bill Murray's character and there were many things that reminded me of Mike. On one such occasion I called out - That Man Who Knew too Little. Mike informed me he hadn't seen the movie. I was fascinated by that. Mike did Bill Murray so well that I was convinced he was impersonating a line from the movie. Fantastic.
That is what I need. If I am going to sell this at Skaryoke I need to have it dialed in. We have been running lines in Casebook. That has been fun. There are so many highly quotable lines throughout the movie. Anyhow, we will somehow manage it. Fun times.
Anytime you are in the mood for a light hearted laugh, think on Bill Murray.
or Mike
