Clay Chastain is one of Kansas City's major recurring characters, kind of our beloved "Boner" Stabone, although now that I've said that, Chastain's probably going to start ringing Pitch phones until somebody connects him with me in order to insist at stentorian length that he's way more like Kansas City's Luke Brower Seaver, the Leonardo DiCaprio character adopted by the Seavers in the last season of Growing Pains because the ratings were terrible. I couldn't find a good picture of "Boner" Stabone, so instead, The Cosby Show's "Cockroach" Bradley is pictured at right.
Anyway, in this week's episode, Chastain has come back with more of his crazy schemes -- he has a new, scaled-back light rail proposal on the table and he says he wants to work with Kansas City to make it happen. His only caveat, and it's a minor one, is that he'll rescind the whole thing if he wins his lawsuit against Kansas City w/r/t the previous voter-approved light rail plan that was overturned by the City Council. You know -- the one that had
in it. Incidentally, that image of a prancing unicorn is the first thing that pops up when you type "Clay Chastain" into Google Image Search. It's so weird.

I was near Clay's former 2nd home (the sidewalk outside the Brookside Price Chopper/Milgram) this weekend, and there was a girl gathering "recall the Funk" signatures.
I asked her: by giving her my phone number was I also giving her permission to call and ask me out? She didn't get it.
I don't know who Clay Chastain is, why they ever cancelled a wholesome, pro-family show like Growing Pains, or why they offer rollover minutes when you know you're never actually gonna have any leftover at the end of the month, but I do know one thing: that is one sweet unicorn.
