dandelionWhat's with all these spellings? Did someone step on a butterfly?

Braling IIVery good, Dandy!
Now that our spelling is organized (or organised, Phil, heh, heh) anyone heard of this story? It sounds vaguely familiar, but I had no luck finding any reference...

fjp451I checked also and came up empty. Yeah, a little humour from our good Doctour Phil is just what we needed.
Yeah, D! Stay on the path.

philnicThe questioner may have been thinking of "The Hellgrammite METHOD", which was a first season episode of the 1980s revival of the Twilight Zone, written by Bill Selby, and NOT based on a published story.

fjp451Hey, Cyril Cusak, aka "Captain Beatty," is Dr. Perry in RBT "Small Assassin" episode.
Pretty Cool!
Remember, the prophet Elijah (MOby Dick) and Tom Fury- one in the same in the timeless Royal Dano!
(Interestingly enough, this week we saw both Misters Cusak and Dano in classes 9 and 12: after reading Assassin, F451, and Something Wicked) I usually discuss and view the '56 Moby Dick but, alas, ran out of time this semester.
Another RB moment in my daily occurrences. So, what's new!?
(Biplane - I'm done today! Missed your call.)

philnicWhy have I become Dr Phil all of a sudden? (Am I missing something?!)

biplane1Phil, I don't believe that you are bald and you are definately not from Texas.

dandelionAnd you're not an arrogant, know-it-all jerk, so I guess that makes three for three.

philnicAh, a TV reference. I don't think we get Dr Phil over here (but we know about him because other American TV shows talk about him).
Judge Judy we get.

Chapter 31“…other American TV shows talk about him.” How wonderful not to see but only hear about him. Sort of like Bigfoot or the Yeti.

Braling IISorry there, Just Plain Phil! I wasn't even thinking of that other guy. Just referring to your surgeon-like ability to extract precisely the required information!

dandelionJudge Judy is bad enough. They do have a lot in common, though.

fjp451Philnic, the "Dr." was meant in recognition to your astute responses in all areas. The allusions to U.S. tv "Dr. Phil" is purely coincidental and, as things tend to do here in RB Land, it took on a life of its own and it was off and running...
