I'll explain it so even YOU can understand it...we ain't getting no place fast.

"Calling Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine...calling Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine..."

((picturing Jolie with a bad LARRY hair day and LMAO!!))

No recipes today...ya, ya...I know you guys will starve now!
Gotta date with the symphony tonight...Preservation Hall Jazz Band...straight outta Jolie's neighborhood! I wanted to see them when we were down there last summer and they were touring. Go figure, I get to see them right here at home!

Hey Fugi...that's DR. TIMOTHY LEARY, Ph.D.
Ahhh. The Moody Blues:
"Timothy Leary's dead. No, no no no, he's outside looking in.
Timothy Leary's dead. No, no no no, he's outside looking in.
He'll glide his astral plane. Takes you trips around the bay.
Brings you back the same day. Timothy Leary, Timothy Leary..."
Don't get me started on Jerry Garcia!
