We The People

We the people
        of these United States of America
        walk around, talk, say this and that.

Peanut Submarine



This film was made by Ron McAdow in the mid 1970's. It was part of a series of peanut animations created for the educational television program "Infinity Factory", produced in Massachusetts at the Education Development Center. The music is by Jon Klein.

Ron's longer peanut films, also featuring Jon Klein scores, are available on Amazon's video-on-demand: Hank the Cave Peanut and Captain Silas.

When Ron was my teacher in junior high school, he offered an after school course to learn to make animated stop motion films. Me and Jeremiah took it and had a great time. I remember the process taking a very long time. I have no idea what happened to the actual films.

Bored

Boy, I’m really bored.
Smorgas- bored.
Shmorgas bord.
Ironing board.
What the fuck’s a smorgasbord?
Anyone?
Smorgasbord:
          a luncheon or supper buffet offering a variety of foods and dishes.
Smorgas- bored.
