Oh, no. You're not dragging me down with THAT bromide. I am an interloper, albeit a willing one. We all know who the REAL powers are here. Even though we pay no undue respect to the men behind the curtain! :D

Are you implying I should be seeing a dermatologist?

That'll be........

Rich, do you clip your fingernails during consultations? My shrink used to clip his nails and say "uh huh" a lot. I always wondered if that was characteristic of the breed - like red hair on Irish Setters and such. My daughter used to call them Irish Shedders when she was a tyke. Hmmm...maybe she was right! But I digress....... :nana:

I find it much more useful to clip my toenails, and engage in other forms of personal grooming (e.g., candling ear wax, trimming nose hair, etc.) to give your client that feeling of "intimacy" that he/she so desires in a shrink.
-
With such warmth and concern for your patients, it is no wonder you have such a large client base. Are you into double digits yet? :lmao:
-
Uh Huh.
I made over $27 just last week.

That's FANTASTIC! Your folks must be very proud! :lmao:
Now, here's a question:
What is the name of the musician who created Alvin & The Chipmunks? (He is the voice your hear on that song).
-
Ross Bagdasarian.

WOW. Now I'm really wondering who David Seville is, and why he was occupying one of my ever-more scarce neural pathways.....
-
David Seville is Ross Bagdasarian's nom de chante.
-
You really ARE an old bastard! ;D
And durn proud of it!
Exactly so, Dan. :applause:
Thank you vurrry much, thank you...

-
Ross Bagdasarian was the person in question. David Seville didn't exist; he was his cartoon and record doppelganger.
-
Ross Bagdasarian was the cousin of William Saroyan, the author; together, they wrote C'mon -A My House, which was Rosemary Clooney's greatest hit. Bagdasarian took the name Seville from where he was stationed in the military. Alvin, Simon and Theodore were all the first names of producers and technicians he had worked with.
The idea for the Chipmunk Song came from his son, asking when would Christmas come again...in July!
There's a lot of info like this at www.imdb.com...just type in the name at the top.
