Forget Aspen! This Snowy Mountain Town Has Nonstop Flights And Down-Home Charm

Share The Article Ever been to Aspen? If you have had the pleasure of splurging on this ritzy ski town chances are you may have said it’s a one-time occurrence. Despite being popular, it’s commonly noted amongst visitors that Aspen is missing a key ingredient for the perfect getaway. With premium price points, travelers rightfully expect to receive the full package. As nice as Aspen may be, what…

I also appreciate centering Porky Pig if you want to incorporate a female character on the “Love Interest” ticket. Porky Pig has been coupled up since ‘37. It’s part of his game and his leading lady’s shortage of professional opportunities up to this point was a wrong in sore need of redress. You know who does NOT need a leading lady? Bugs Bunny.

Looking up candidates for primaries and it's like "we're just a downhome kind of family just like yall" versus "these are my goals, these are my plans, this is how I'm getting shit done."

Second one, please.

i saw u were giving ur thoughts abt rare pairs and i wanted to know what you think about kurokita if ur down!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔

I haven't really thought that much about these two in particular. Even if I love all the captains in every rotation. But.... welll.............

I think the funniest immediate dynamic that comes to head is that we've got Mr. Down Home "It Ain't Much but It's Honest" versus "Captialist Rex" which honestly I am not an enemies to lovers kinda person but if you wanted to make a hallmark movie-

Dear Kita has to come into the city and he's only there to help a family member sell at a local artisan market, and they've got a little shop set up, and Kuroo is basically classic entrepenurial spirit like "wow you could really make a business out of this little set up" and Kita says "get my name out of your mouth right now" and-

Actually hang on I'm kinda into this conceptually. Because Kita's, like, mean. Canonically. He's not like most of the other captains that like, mince words or try and keep people's morals up, up he straight up tells people to stop making mistakes and to be better, like... I don't know if Kuroo has a lot of people like that in his life that would hold a knife to his throat and tell him to be a better human being or the Gods will send him to hell.

I do think Kuroo could easily absolutely fall in love with this downhome kind of simple logic Kita has, very yes sir, thank you ma'am, let's get our work done, but in the way that what Kuroo might be missing in his very corporate life is a little bit of home comfort, somewhere to come back and rest his head and feel fulfilled. And I can imagine the first few nights he stays over on the farm rest him like nothing has ever rested him, and once Kita actually lets him talk about *why* he's climbing to the top of the volleyball managerial ladder (to lower the net for everybody!) Kita almost instantly falls in love. To put that much work into an ideal, to commit to something he cares about that hard and put that many hours a day in, that's something Kita can support, whatever it is.

Anyway Kita would absolutely make him little homemade bento boxes with cute little notes to take to work and then sometimes when Kuroo's messed up he'll leave very aggressive little notes.

Kita tries to pretend he doesn't think Kuroo is attractive at all, but (before they're together) he catches him sleeping on the bed with his shirt off and almost has an aneurism

Kuroo is pretty sure every time Kita smiles a year gets added to his life.

Atsumu finds out Kuroo (yes, that Kuroo!) is dating his former captain and Osamu has to stop him from sending a strongly worded letter to the editor regarding why Kita should absolutely break up with him right now do not trust the black cat do NOT

Anyway also I forgot to include somewhere in the original hallmark enemies-to-lovers triad that they have to hardcore hate fuck atleast once. I think they could do it. Better than other rarepairs i've thought about I think they could.

Overall Rating:

For Me, Personal Interest: 2/10

Personal Interest for Enemies to Lovers Country Boy v Coporate Man: 10/10 send me this fic right now. (and I don't even like enemies to lovers-)

Concept/Potential: 3.5/10?

Concept/Potential as Aforementioned Hallmark Movie: 10/10 oh my god I want it now??? I talked myself into this.

B+ 😭 after saying all that. (transcript below cut)

Loose Salute [RCA Victor, 1970] (by Robert Christgau)

In which Nesmith continues his transmutation into Gram Parsons for television fans, or the Jimmy Rodgers of Sunset Strip. I'm beginning to suspect that he takes his meandering thoughts and marble columns in the sky more seriously than they deserve. But his songwriting gifts are at a peak on this amalgam of gimmicks and mannerisms, long-vowel articles and near-yodels and electronic excursions and alien rhythms. At its best, sublime schlock; at its worst, downhome kitsch. B+

[rubiatinctorum]

It took me damn near too many episodes to hear him much again (my luck huh, wanted to hear his voice while i went to sleep and i picked the episodes he hit the bricks for) but he's proving to me that he'd be delightful at those charming little puzzles in the back of the Downhome magazines so i think. maybe. i forgive him for abandoning me in my time of need

March 16, 1978

APRIL 2 1979: The Day the Blanchardville, North Carolina Political Action and Poker Club Got the Bomb' is the self‐explanatory title of Nicholas Kazan's new comedy at the WPA Theater, There is not much more that you need to know except that Blanchardville has a population of 472 rednecks, one of whom is an auto mechanic who has built a bomb that could destroy half of the state.

This is a comedy about good old country boys‐a cornfed “M*A*S*H,” a hillbilly “Dog Day Afternoon.” There is only one major thing wrong with the evening: the plot. It is farfetched and turns the play into a lame duck.

Once the six assorted poker club members have barricaded themselves in a house and have made demands to the other townspeople in exchange for the bomb, the play has nowhere to go except up in smoke. The characters must stay in the house making more demands until the explosive end.

•

Plot considerations aside, the author has a dead‐on feeling for the crackpot realism of his mythical town. The comedy seems written from the inside, as if Mr. Kazan had spent long hours playing poker and soaking up regionalisms. The one outsider in the play, a young professor from Chicago (Harry Orzello) visiting a Southern cousin in order to write a book about small‐town America, is the least colorful character.

The others exude local color, and the actors have a gratifying, downhome rustic authenticity. Even as we watch their incredible activities, we believe in their personalities.

The mechanic who makes the bomb (Dann Florek) is a rural tinkerer, Snoopy in motorcycle goggles who has almost accidently stumbled on the secret of annihilation, and doesn't know what to do with it. He seems dazzled by his own inventiveness.

•

J. T. Walsh, as the leader of the club, does know what to do with it. He is the top sergeant, an operator—and others follow, blindly and sometimes irrationally. Mr. Walsh has the reddest neck; he wants to secede from the nation, or, at least, to free Florida.

Bill Nunnery plays a farmer who is as fat as an inner tube and who simply wants to send out for pizza and more beer to guzzle. He wears his grossness comfortably, like an old sneaker.

‘Spindly David Swatling—he looks like a plucked rooster—is the village sissy who has daydreams about nights with Raquel Welch. Ilene Kristen, starlet of Raquellian proportions lured from a nearby location shooting to appease Mr. Swatling, is a more than

adequate substitute. She is sexy and instantly seductive. Don Reeves is the sixth club member‐a quiet, sardonic cowboy.

•

Mr. Kazan probably could have written a folksy character sketch about these post‐pubescents, but clearly he was on the track of bigger game. The play sidesteps into statement‐and simply cannot sustain an apocalypse. The smile curdles into a cynical sneer; this is the way the world will endwith a bang in Blanchardville. In order to persuade us of his premise, Mr. Kazan would have had to write a far more serious and thoughtful prelude.

However, there is talent here. The director, Douglas Johnson, stresses the low‐key comedy of the evening‐there is more bantering than roistering‐and the actors expertly underplay their characters, keeping them from becoming caricatures.

Vincent Ashbahian's set is like derelict clubhouse - with an attic jammed with spare parts. In this, his first play to be produced in New York, Mr. Kazan would seem to have a considerable comic arsenal at his command.

APRIL 2, 1979: THE DAY THE BLANCHARDVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA POLITICAL ACTION 8, POKER CLUB GOT THE BOMB by Nicholas Kazan. Directed by Douglas Johnson; setting by Vincent Ashbahian; lighting by Kathy Giebler; costumes by David Menkes; production stage manager, Paul Holmes. Presented by the WPA Theater. At 138 Fifth Avenue.
