Beards. The truth probably won’t surface until a homeless, drug-addled Little Elton is found by a reporter, who gets the sordid, Frugal Gourmet-esque story out of him
Awhile back, I took some flack on a thread when I mentioned that three of the stars of Frazier were Gay: Pierce, Butler and Mahoney (Niles, Bulldog and Martin characters). It was certainly no secret about any of them when I lived in West Hollywood and had friends working for the show.
Although I liked Pierce as Niles on the show, he seems to be quite an annoying, pompous little prick. In several interviews he has made some arrogant comments about television and he tends to gush on and on about the true “art” of the theater…not that I haven’t heard all that before by thousands of actors, but Pierce has bitten the rather wealthy hand that fed him and made him a household name, and now is resorting to the age-old theater mantra of “only theater is a real art form”.
Off topic, but I once compiled a list of the homosexual subtleties that Good Eats is teeming with, and it was a pretty long list. I remember “hogtied teenage pizza delivery boy in the back of AB’s car” as being pretty high on the list.
My eyes! Anyway, it would be with nerdy assistant chef dude Paul, not Little Elton. Trust me.
And, **silenus, ** I always just thought AB simply really enjoyed putting gadgets together. After all, he has attached a pasta maker to an ironing board, smoked his own bacon in old lockers, and built an elaborated turkey-frying rig. Less frugal than lookit this neat thing I made.
The pasta maker attached to the ironing board is my favorite, but let’s not forget the overly elaborate and labor intensive “device” he created to extract a half ounce of liquid smoke
the kid that plays “Little Elton” - he’ll come out once he’s thru puberty; but Alton, never. As for the hog-tied pizza boy? How else could AB have scored a uniform to sneak in his own GE pizzas?
