1 Comment

In this microsode, Leonard explains his coffee grinding habits and the many uses of the common can opener. One can’t help but wonder…has LEONARD ever used a can opener as a weapon? We’ll have to ask him that question next time we get him in front of the camera.

Baked Honeysuckle Fritters

4 Comments

I took Leonard to the donut shop yesterday morning. In his own words, “I like a baked apple fritter and a cold chocolate milk on an overcast Sunday morning…and you can’t get a BAKED apple fritter just anywhere ya know.” I had a croissant and a latte and realized I only ordered those items because it was trendy, and there I was sitting with a guy that truly marches to the beat of his own drummer. I thought, is he just a bit nuts or could Leonard Carlson actually be a trend setter?

As we enjoyed our pastries under the cloud cover Leonard related a brief story about the summer he worked as a gardener for a wealthy family on some large plantation in the South somewhere. Apparently, he was walking through town one day (I couldn’t get him to explain how he ended up there or exactly what town he was talking about) and he happened into a conversation with a man named Mr. Brinkstone. As they talked, Mr. Brinkstone commented on the lovely orange flowers upon the vines clinging to the walls of the old train station. “Tecomaria capensis,” said Leonard, “better known as the Cape Honeysuckle. Best with southern exposure and when in bloom a great attractor of thirsty hummingbirds.”

Mr. Brinkstone was so impressed with Leonard‘s astute knowledge of the local flora that he hired him to his gardening staff on the spot. Since Leonard had never been on a plantation before he accepted the offer and made no mention of the fact that he had just read that Cape Honeysuckle description off his place mat while eating lunch at the local diner moments earlier.

Microsode #1 — The Big Shit

7 Comments

In this microsode, Leonard tells us a great story about his current employer. Laced with double entendres and the “s” word, this one is definitely not safe to watch at work or let the kiddies hear. As usual, we’re not quite sure how much of this story is true–but it sure is hilarious!

It’s a 48 megabyte file, so be patient. It may take a long time to load once you click on the video to play.

Just Who is Leonard Carlson Anyhow?

2 Comments

Who is Leonard Carlson? That’s the question we aim to answer through this mixed-media project we’ve dubbed “Leonard Who?”.

At first glance you might think Leonard Carlson lives in a cardboard box down some dark alley. Turns out, Leonard just might be the epitome of The American Dream.

From what we understand thus far, Leonard was born sometime before 1950 and lived a fairly normal life until the mid 1960s. Around 1965 he penned the first of a few successful pop songs and the sudden influx of cash gave him an idea. While many people would choose to use the money to purchase a big house and a garage full of fancy cars, Leonard took a distinctively different route.

Leonard discovered that if he lived a simple life without any “new money” extravagance, he could travel the world and experience what we’ve began to discover is one of the most full and interesting sets of adventures a person could ever imagine. We’re not sure how he’s managed to do all the things he claims, we’re not even sure how much of it is really true, but we plan to bring you as much of Leonard’s world as he’ll allow us to and let you decide for yourself.

Our encounters with Leonard will be documented throughout this web site through both text and videos, as we attempt to document this amazingly interesting individual. He has given us unprecedented access into his personal life and we’ll do our best to introduce you to the man they call: Leonard Carlson.
