Sweet! First poster for once! I'm such a geek. Forgive me for my transgression into full-on geekdom.

Ok, here's my Chocolate Salty Balls story. One time, my wife and her friend listened to the song closely and wrote down the ingredients and tried to make them. DISGUSTING. Though the copious amounts of rum in them tended to make them tolerable as it went on.. hm.

Now that was before Chef's Cookbook with the REAL recipe that was much more sane than what was in the tune. Heh!

Anymore, Halloween is summed up in 3 words:

Simpsons Halloween Specials

There has yet to be one I don't consider a 'classic' and they're running them all the time now...

Woo Hoo! Halloween!

What's everyone gonna be? I am going as Winona Ryder. Can't wait!

Happy Halloween Wil!

Two tablespoon's of cinnamon,
and two or three egg whites.
A half a stick of butter?. Melted?
stick it all in a bowl baby.
Stir it with a wooden spoon.
Mix in a cup of flour,
you'll be in heaven soon.

Say everybody have you seen my balls
they're big and salty and brown.
If you ever need a quick pick me up
just stick my balls in your mouth.

Oooo suck on my chocolate salted balls
stick em in your mouth, and suck em!
Suck on my chocolate salted balls,
they're packed full of vitamins, and good for you.
So suck on my balls.

Quarter cup of unsweeten chocolate,
and a half a cup of brandy.
You throw in a bag or two of sugar
and just a pinch of vanilla.
Grease up the cookie sheet.
Cause I hate when my balls stick.
Then preheat the oven to three fifty
and give that spoon a lick?

Say everybody have you seen my balls
they're big and salty and brown.
If you ever need a quick pick me up
just stick my balls in your mouth.

Suck on my chocolate salted balls.
Put em in your mouth, and suck em!
Suck on my chocolate salted balls,
there packed full of goodness, high on fiber.
Suck on my balls.

[sniff, sniff, sniff]
Hey, wait a minute.
What's that smell.
Smell like something burning.
Well that don't confront me none.
Long as I get my rent paid on Friday.
Baby you better get back in the kitchen.
Cause I got a sneak'n suspicion.
Oh man baby, baby!
You just burned my balls!
Help me, my balls on fire
????? baby
my balls are burning
give me some water!
Pour some water on me!
my balls are burning
oh my goodness,
I'm blow'n
I'm blow'n
do somethin

Oooo Suck on my chocolate salted balls.
Put em in your mouth, and suck em!
They'r on fire baby!
Suck on my chocolate salted balls,
put em out baby, blow
ohh
Suck on my balls baby
Suck on my balls baby
Suck on my, red hot, salted, chocolate balls
come on baby
woo, woo
suck on my balls.
[blow blow]

Wil,
Well you know the industry. It's feast or famine. It's great that you've got this gig!

:)

P.S. Kat? That sounds like that Saturday Night Live skit.

i just never did understand hearing about how movies were shot out of sequence. i don't get it... can someone enlighten as to the purpose?

they are typically shot out of order due to availability of the actors, sound stages, cranes, other equipment, locations, etc. at least i think that is why.

Hi Wil:
I can't say that I recognize the song chocolate balls, but uhm...errr...well, I do think I've got a "feel" for it *wink*
Mum never let any of us dress up as zombies for Halloween, too gory and too realistic, I suppose, what with the state insane asylum located on the North edge of town. Good on ya, mate.
Keep on keepin' on.
Peace, out.

Guess what? I got a new kitten!!! His name is Biggs. I just felt the urge to share.

Schwetty Balls? Aha-that's one of my favorite skits. The NPR series are the greatest, in my personal opinion

Ooh, babe . . . you just burned my balls!

Pavegirl: Wil could give a far more complete answer, as I'm speaking purely from hearsay, but I think the purpose is to make best use of the sets and locations your have. For instance, in a typical episode of West Wing (to take a show I like that *isn't* TNG), you'd film the Oval Office scenes at one time, then the press room scenes at another, the "bullpen" scenes at a third -- and sometimes you'd be shooting location shots two weeks before or after the rest of the show, because that's how the location shooting happened to work. (Particularly when you have the interiors shot in, IIRC, Los Angeles and many of the exteriors shot in Washington -- makes more sense to do all the Washington scenes at once.)

Pavegirl-

Movies are shot out of sequence due to time constraints with actors, sets and locations. Especially locations.

But primarily it is cheaper to shoot every shot at a given location all at once. So if there is a location, like a diner, that shows up in a film four or five times throughout the script you would shoot all the scenes in a day or two there all at once. Rather than shooting a scene, leaving for several days and then coming back. It's easier and cheaper to move all the technical gear ONCE.

At least, that's one of the main reasons. Another might be because a given actor is only available to shoot for three days and their scenes may be broken up all over the script. So, you'd need to shoot all their scenes in those three days.

Hope that helps a little!

Wil, you are the man! I admire everything you are doing on this site and with you're writing and acting careers. While I don't always agree with you politically I'm always glad to see my fellow citizens voicing themselves wherever they can!

And, man, I know what you mean about losing focus around certain people.

Burma

I know we're not supposed to comment on comments but....

1) The Simpsons suck. They have for a few seasons, now. I'm tired of Homer's wacky adventures. And the Halloween episodes are no longer inspired. But I keep watching, because every once in a while, that spark comes back.

2) Sometimes, it's easier to shoot certain scenes with related elements. For example, it would make sense to shoot the prison scenes all at once when you're making Silence of the Lambs. It would just waste time to shoot one scene, then run off and shoot the river scene, only to come back to a different prison scene.

Well I hope ya'll have fun on Halloween- it's my fave season too--
Don't know whatI am gonna be i have been so focused on the whole just taking care of the kids stuff, I forgot about my stuff this year---Maybe I will be something dead. As for Chef--well do what you can to not sing and screw up the shot however too bad this thing won't be on DVD- it could make for an intresting extra footage if they did.

I'm really glad everything is going well on the set.

I probibly would have had the same problem you did. I just love that song.

As we all know, Halloween is Satan's holiday, corrupting our children and bringing the evil minions into the forefront. Just Say No to witchcraft! I demand that we all stop trick-or-treating, and pray to Jay-sus instead.

Mmmmmmmmmmm....

chocolate salty balls....

... in my best Homer voice while trick-or-treating.

You will post pictures of Zombie Will right?

Also, very cool that your kids are the priority.

And... it is amazing to me what our brains can do. In the space of two or three seconds my brain can go from directing a show (TV news) to some unrelated thing that happened two weeks ago that some shot or piece of verbage reminded me of. Then I find myself telling myself, "Stop that, pay attention to the show." Sounds like you had that kind of day at work today! Great to hear that life is treating you well.

Wil,

how bout some Hiney wine to go with them
salty chocolate balls

just grab a little Hiney

or; some "Rank cheese"...

when america cuts the cheese, it's Rank...

I guess your going as a Zombie, right?

later Wil

Halloween is one of the things I miss since moving back to Australia from America. We just don't seem to celebrate it here. It's a real shame, I remember how great is was to go out trick or treating with all the other kids from the neighbourhood. Some kids try it here, but the almost always get turned away empty-handed. So Wil, tell the kids to get some candy for me!

Suck on my chocolate salty balls?! Ummmm....... okaaaaay..... not EVEN gonna ask.......

I can't believe that somebody posted the lyrics to that song here. Now I'll NEVER get it out of my head!

Aaaaaw...hahahahahaha!!! :D

Happy Halloween Everyone

http://www3.quantumlynx.com/barontech/list/sayit.swf

please make sure your speakers are ON. It's pretty cool. :)

In my neighbourhood Halloween is pretty much the biggest day of the year. We pick the nearest Tuesday and all dress up and run around trick or treating. The older kids sit on the side of the road and throw shaving cream at the littler kids and then, when they've all run home crying, have huge big shaving cream fights between ourselves. Last year we used up about 8 cans writing "YOU SUCK" along the road. Anyway yesterday was the designated Tuesday and my best friend and I got all dressed up and went walking. We noticed that there weren't too many othr people around but it was still early and we went back to her house for makeup and got all set for a great evening. We were halfway back to my house when we were stopped and told that, due to possible rain, it had been postponed until a day later. There we were, all dressed up, in broad daylight with all the runners and cyclists gawking at us because nobody had thought to call us and mention that it had been changed. It was really embarassing!! Anyway it got better after that. We went home and ate all the food we'd left out for trick or treaters and watched Poltergeist movies all night. Anyway that's my little story. Hope you guys enjoyed it!

I can't think of Isaac Hayes without imagining Chef either... If I see him at the studio, Wil, I'll him I said hi! :)

It's salsbury steak day, children!

(Couldn't resist! Besides, I haven't posted to the blog in a while!)

And everyone who doesn't know the Chocolate Salty Balls song-go out and watch some South Park episodes now!!! Or better yet, get the South Park Chef Aid album. You owe it to yourselves!

Halloween isn't my favorite holiday, but I do like it. Someone asked what we're all going as this year- well, I don't go trick or treating, being 30 years old, but my band does have a gig that night. I have a full day's work before the gig, and I'm going to wear my costume to work. What am I going to be? A Star Trek captain, of course! If you'd like to see what my costume looks like, go to http://www.thewagband.com/alicia_2.htm
and have a look. Also, the same pictures are on Aron Eisenberg's (Nog) site, trekfriends.com. Just navigate your way to the Actor's Gallery. Aron has a picture of himself with Wil on his site, too! It's on http://trekfriends.com/events/
Everyone, have a great Halloween! :)
Love, Alicia

I can't stop singing "PUT EM IN YOUR MOUTH"

Christ now I'm going to singing that in court. If I get held in contempt it's your fault...

Gee Wil, thanks for that phrase... Now I will have it on my mind ALL FRIGGIN DAY!

*runs off in a fit of mad cackles*

It's so cool to get this blow by blow movie stuff. I feel like such a dweeb saying that but there you have it.

OOoOOoo Baby,
Suck on my choc.......DAMN YOU WHEATON!!!!!
Now I got that song stuck in my head.

I'm glad that you're the type of actor who doesn't put his job before his family. That's all you see in the headlines is "actor and wife/husband separated". I'd much rather be happy with a family and a 9-5 job making "normal" pay, than work 7am-midnight making more money but having less time with my loved ones.

Loyal Monkey #24601

Halloween is a favorite around here as well, though it seems like I haven't done much for it this year. But I am the only apartment in my complex with paper pumpkins in the windows... :)

As for a costume, I'm still deciding what I'll wear tomorrow... but I watched "Nightmare before Christmas" last night, and I'm very tempted to see if I can throw a Rag-Doll Sally costume together, and have my boyfriend dress as Jack the Pumpkin King!

Bring on Halloween! Chocolate, sweeties, other stuff to make you fat and puke. Money and....throwing toilet paper at people's houses! Thanks Wil-memo to self, buy pumpkin(s).
How everyone's Halloween rocks!
Annie.

It's fantastic that you make time for your kids. I know how you feel - I'm a single mom and PhD student, and most days I'm completely exhausted at the end of the day. But you can't miss out on your children's life because you're too focused on work - no job is that important. Keep up the good parenting, and enjoy Halloween!

Great! 'Chocolate Salty Balls' is now impeached permanantly in my mind and I have a University exam in oooh...20 minutes. Gonna keep singing it on the bus and hopefully I will get bored of it. That'll work right?

ohmigawd Wil whenever i read this stuff about you and issac hayes i laugh so loud i annoy my co-workers. and now i have that salty balls song in my head!

Sleep deprivation really sucks but it's cool that you got ready for Halloween with your family. I find myself making the do I sleep or get fun stuff ready for my 16 month old. Hands down it's the fun stuff. They're only young for so long. :) Halloween is the best! Not doing much this year but as my son gets older, I plan to do more.

Hee hee chocolate salty balls. Rather have that in my head than the stupid Elmo's song that's been there lately.

Ness

Dammit Wil....

*has the "put 'em in your mouth and suck 'em" part running constantly through my head......

You are evil.

Halloween Rocks! I'm playing the roll of make-up artist this year at a local Haunt in Austin. Well, that and "Insane Person in Parking Lot," but that's not really a stretch. Hey, come to think of it, I'm also playing, "Screaming Girl in Woods."

Playing make-up artist is really the fun part though. Gashes and wounds, this one girl who I paint freckles on and then splatter her face, hair and neck with blood. She's soooo cute, and gruesome. hhehehhehheh.

Zombies are great too. Especially skin falling off the bone and pus. My specialty is making pus. Bleeding pustuals are just too much fun.

Yeah, Halloween Rocks.

Kudo's to kat for posting the words to the
song!

You go Wheaton!!

Keep getting these gig's..need more material for
"The Book".

When can you tell us the REAL name of the movie?

LOL.. took me a good 3 or 4 minutes to pick myself up off the floor and stop laughing at the Isaac Hayes bit... *wipes tears* Dear Gods that was funny. It must have been torture :)

insomnia @_@

The Duke and the Crusher!

Thanks for the laugh! I'm with you on the Issac Hays thing, since I'd be snickering every time he said anything.

Congradulations on the role, though! I was thrilled when I read that and you MUST let us loyal minions know when it plays.

Um, ok, I know the movie is due in January and that I misspelled congratulations.

At any rate, Wil, your blog is greatly entertaining and I'm glad you're letting us in on the set's events.

Get some sleep! :D

thanks wil,

now ill be singing chef songs ALL DAMN DAY!

"gonna make sweet love to ya woman...gonna lay ya down by the fire...."

grrr...thanks

I read something in a local newspaper; a woman wrote that adults who dress up for Halloween & get involved w/ Halloween events as if it were a real holiday have too much time on their hands and not enough self respect.

My initial reaction: this woman is an idiot. Then I thought about it a bit. Now, I think she just lacks a sense of humor & a sense of fun. I could be wrong, but i doubt it.

Anyway, Wil, I'm glad that you have this new gig & that it is a real positive experience for you.

You're awesome. Glad things are busy for you.

Wil,

As usual a man of many talents. Working all day, writing on the blog and spending time with the wife and kids in the evening.

Keep up the good work Wil. I look foreward to seeing this movie when it is released.

Nice South Park reference I love that song. It's a goocher.

Best to you and your family......

Matt......

Halloween is a fun time for sure... here's what I'm wearing this year; http://www.seattlebikesupply.com/fett.html Please post some pics of Wil Zombie, it's the least you could do for us average folk who will never in our lifetimes get to work with the one and only Chef. I'd call you lucky, but you're where you're at through hard work and talent. I am a little bummed this is a PAX movie though, only because I don't have PAX. Guess I'll have to bum-rush Grandma's house and watch it over there...

Hi,
Spooky Halloween To everybody!!!
Do not think to the vampires and ghosts when trying to sleep! (I tried it once:(()
Have a nice weekend

Chocolate Salty Balls is my favorite Karaoke song. People just stare at first, then really get into it. The first time I did the song I was recorded for posterity, much to my chagrin. Hey, it's one thing to do it live, quite another to have several copies of my performance floating around the office.

Well, I didn't have the song in my head until I read all the comments. Cheers, guys! ;)

*scampers off whistling you-know-what*

“suck on my chocolate salty balls” ?? WTF is that?!??!?!?!?!! Anyway i love halloween too. I am being a phsyco this year freshly excaped from the mental ward. My so called "FRIENDS" say that's good, but where is the costume part, it s saposed to be halloween man, they're cold.

Speaking of Halloween...did anyone else catch Wil's episode of Tales from the Crypt, "House of Horrors", today on the Sci-fi channel say around 5ish EST? It was a nice surprise. I haven't seen that episode in a while.

happy halloween!
and R.I.P. RIVER PHOENIX! I LOVE YOU AND WE ALL MISS YOU!

I'd totally forgotten about Isaac Hayes, although I think I still have "Chocolate Chip" around here somewhere...

Here's one by Dufus called "Fun Wearing Underwear"... it's another one that sticks in your head and just goes 'round, and 'round, and 'round.... http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/217/dufus.html

"Heh, see how it’s in your mind right now? That was me, all day long."

You had to spend all day with "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" and the theme song from "Gilligan's Island" playing in your head simultaneously?

Dude...

Chocolate Salty Balls

"I also had some scenes with Isaac Hayes...and every time he spoke, I had to really focus, so I wouldn’t start singing, “suck on my chocolate salty balls” in my head."

*grin*
I understand.
One of the guys on my roster is in a band (on hiatus) that I listened to in my late teens and early 20s. Songs by his band were running through my head during the "season kick off meeting" involving the staff and our artists. Near the beginning we went around the table doing introductions. Mike was last. After he introduced himself, my co-worker, sitting two seats away from me, turned to me and whispered a reference to one of his songs, cracking me up. I felt like such a doofus for acting unprofessional but really, he WAS "The King of Spain"! We did get to sing it out loud, later on, out of earshot of Mike.
It's out of my system now, and Mike is just a colleague. When the band plays a gig again, I better be comped. :)

MAN! I don't check the site for like a week, and all this cool stuff is happening for Wil!

Congrats man. As they say, you're the man :)

Wil,
Out of all of the songs this guy has done it is interesting that this is his mental music picture you will remember him for singing. I wonder if he was thinking about stand by me or a TNG moment. Eventhough I have not seen the scene I
know it turned out fine. If it was bad I am sure you will both be back to do re-shoots.

F.G.

Hi,

Happy Halloween. Just a note..."punkins" has a typo, you may want to edit it. :)

ROTFL about the chocolate balls.

Keep up the writing.

yeah, once a song gets planted in your head it can kind of take over...especially that song.

ahh thats good suck suck ahh yeah
