Okay, a line in FWWM that has everybody mystified, including me, is
Jacques in the Pink Room saying "I am the Great Went" and "I am as blank as
a fart". I've been re-watching the series in my spare time, and have an
interesting find:

Second season, third or fourth episode, when Norma announces that
the mysterious food critic is coming to Twin peaks. No one knows who this
critic is or even what they look like. The name of the critic? M.T. Wents.
So, when Jacques says "I am the Great Went", I think that maybe his fart
reference meant empty, as in M.T. So this means.....what? That Jacques 
moonlighted as a food critic?
Who knows? But it seems to fit, at least to me it does. ANy comments?
All are appreciated, especially if you have some idea as to why this might 
have occured to Lynch to bring up. (Maybe it has something to do with the
splitting that goes on in TP, the doppleganger effect. Everyone in the series
seems to have a physical or spiritual double: maybe this is Jacques'?)
