I thought I’d post this not because its any great question, but because it was something I thought interesting to know…
Since all of our own videos are packed as well as the DVD player for our move (whimper), the other night PLD and I rented a videos from Hollywood Video including “Man in the Moon” with Jim Carey as the unusual Andy Kaufman. At one point, Kaufman takes the entire audience from a Carnegie Hall performance out for milk and cookies. I wondered to myself whether or not I would actual take him up on the invitation–it seemed everyone in the audience did.
I just wonder, if you were in the audience, would you? Or, would it seem…I don’t know…strange? Like accepting candy from a stranger? After all, they don’t get much stranger than Andy K in his prime. 
Just curious…
Hell, yea. Change to hang out with Kaufman, my God of Strangeness? In a second. On the Swiddlemobile at this moment is an “ANDY LIVES!” sticker with a Warhol-esque picture of Andy. The man was so far ahead of his time that we’re barely apprechiateing him now.
And it’s free milk and cookies. I ALWAYS accept free food. (candy: no. Food: yes.)
Knowing Andy Kaufman, my question would be, where did the milk come from, and what’s in those cookies?
I’ve gotta go with Riddles on this one, if it’s food, especially baked goods, and free, then I’ll take it

Tom Green’s parents probably wonder where they went wrong.
I think it wasn’t their fault–their son is possessed by the spirit of Andy Kaufman.
I’m not really pro nor anti-Tom Green, but I think Andy Kaufman was way more talented and clever than Tom Green. His goal is JUST to be outrageous for the sake of it…Kaufman seemed to have more of a purpose behind his antics–even if it was just an inside joke with he, himself and him. 
For the record, I think I would go for milk and cookies with Andy Kaufman, but I might be edgy the whole wondering if something strange or outrageous was happening or going to…although, I guess taking tens-of-thousands of people out for milk and cookies is about as strange as one needs to be in order to be considered outrageous!
This thread reminds me of a time I was in downtown Asheville with a friend of mine, and we walked by this candy store. Right outside of it was this old man giving us candy, so I took some, but my friend starting freaking out. “You just took candy from a strange old man in Asheville! What are you thinking!?”
So I guess since I cheated death/drug addiction than, I would take the cookies.

I’d much rather it be cheese, crackers and pickled onions than milk and cookies…
