Good find ! I found some symbolism around their names too , makes me wonder if Bernard might be built on Arnold ' s conscious but made to intentionally look different than the real life Arnold , so no one would recognize him as Ford ' s brotherFrom WikipediaRobert Ford was an American outlaw best known for killing his gang leader Jesse James . Ford and his older brother Charles performed paid reenactments of the killing at publicity events . The park is basically one big reenactment , created by Robert Ford and Arnold . The real life Charles Ford committed suicide . Ford implies that Arnold ' s death was suicide . <| sep |> Mashed potatoes ! You can take the man out of Idaho , but you . . . Happy thanksgiving <| sep |> Oh . counties also don ' t mean anything in some states . I live in Connecticut and counties are only for storm warnings . But you know , if companies can build cash registers that can sort this shit out , they can build pricing guns that do the same . Or just use LED price tags like a lot grocery stores do .
