My first thought when I saw the old woman with the icepack
at the trailer park was that it was the same hunched-over woman
that sewed the Q of hearts onto Audrey at OEJ's in the first
season.  I suspected at that time and I still sort of suspect
that the character is played in drag.  I even wondered if it
might be David Lynch himself.

When the LMFAP says "I am the arm and I sound like this..." and he
makes the Indian woo-woo noise, he deliberately made the noise
slow down and taper off.  This got me to wondering about the nature
of the noise.  I almost think that it's supposed to be like a sine-wave
audio signal (siren?).  This would make sense in the "Electricity" context.  It
seems like the "woo-woo" sound is linked with a TV set and Laura's
apparent fear of power lines.

One final out-on-a-limb thought.  Assume that the pain and suffering theme
of TP:FWWM is related to addiction.  Addiction=electricity=TV=TP=
Our (the fans of TP) addiction to the television series.  I don't think
that's really the message that Lynch intended, but I know that there
were times during the series that if I didn't get my TP fix I was going
to go mad.

Keep 'em flying!
