“Many lifetimes ago,” during a rite of manhood, a Kikakee Indian chief hurls a knife and tomahawk, then shoots an arrow at a young brave tied to a tree. All three weapons barely miss their mark, and the brave survives. In the present day, Ernest P. Worrell works as a handyman at Kamp Kikakee, a summer camp located on the old Kikakee Indian tribal land. As Ernest rides an electric cart around the camp, he exalts that someday he will be elevated to camp counselor, a job that will allow him to “shape and mold young minds into a focused worldview.” Today, however, Ernest must fix a toilet, a job that ends explosively. His cart, which apparently has no turn-off switch, takes off without him and roams the grounds. When the summer camp boys arrive on buses, Ernest runs to greet them, but two lads slam a window on his fingers. Nurse St. Cloud, the granddaughter of Kikakee Chief Windcloud, who owns the land, reminds Ernest he still needs his vaccination shots, a procedure that reduces him to bl

The Importance of Being Ernest: The Life of Actor Jim Varney (Stuff that Vern doesn't even know) ... byHeather Gay. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. 4/5.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Ernest, the lovable blue-collar buffoon, was a staple of pop culture in countless commercials, nearly a dozen movies and an award-winning Saturday-morning TV show. Today, millions of fans still mourn the loss of actor Jim Varney, who portrayed Ernest and who died at age 50 in 2000 of cancer. Ernest fans are finally getting the biography they have been waiting for in this comprehensive work by Jim’s nephew, Justin Lloyd. “The Importance of Being Ernest: The Life of Actor Jim Varney” traces Jim’s journey from a child in Lexington, Kentucky, with dreams of being a stage and film actor to becoming an iconic entertainment figure in the tradition of Charlie Chaplin’s “The Little Tramp.” The book is based on numerous interviews with family members and intimates of Jim who have never spoken publicly before about what drove the actor and how he overcame many personal and professional obstacles to attain success. But with that success came a price: Jim longed for stage and film roles beyond Ernest, and they were difficult to come by because of his symbiosis with the character. Yet Jim persevered, ultimately winning major movie roles such as Jed Clampett in “The Beverly Hillbillies” and (the voice of) Slinky Dog in the first two “Toy Story” films. The book also explores the genius of the small Nashville advertising agency that created Ernest and how it spread his popularity decades before “going viral” became associated with achieving global stardom....
