Carping Diem 018: Contagious

By popular demand, the Ominous Comma is reluctant to present Doctor Harold Toboggans, the spectacular, the miracle-working, the self-described.

Doctor Harold Toboggans-dry humor and funny psychology snarking

“I’m sure your mental state isn’t contagious,
but there’s no use taking chances”

Dr. Toboggans is the staff psychologist, resident motivational speaker, and official personal development coach of the Ominous Comma.Like a freeway accident, Dr. Toboggans’ sessions always draw a crowd of morbid thrill-seekers looking for amusement at the suffering of others.

These are the very type of people the doctor likes most to “cure.”

Learn more about the amazing Dr. Toboggans here. Another service of the Ominous Comma, the first, middle*, and last name in intelligent humor.

*Use of the middle name does not necessarily constitute parental disciplinary measures, but it is strongly implied.

Did someone break wind?

Ah, yes. It was me. Apologies.

Thank you Lord Likely, may the rest of my day be just as amusing.

Did those glasses get bigger or is it my imagination? Debbie, those letters are going to be so sticky!

Wait, does he normally wear glasses?

Hey rj! Those immensely attractive spectacles have previously been worn by the good Doc. I think he is wearing them today to shield his eyes from the burning flatulence or err.. possible contagious funky stuff.

Hmmm… wait a minute…take a closer look rj and I do believe the spectacles are void of any lenses.

Debbie,
The lenses were there until LL broke wind.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa! Good one Chris. I do believe you are correct. Mystery solved.

My tummy hurts from laughing so hard.

Aaaa he’s just trying to look smart or maybe it was the cutting of the cheese–they were so fogged up we couldn’t gaze into his pensive eyes…

The maturity level of the audience has deminished recently? It only takes one Lord Likely to kick it off. He’s a dangerous lord.

Debbie,
Details on the upcoming dangercouch remiere party will be posted very soon on the website, but please mark your calendar for Sept.8th and dust off your 70’s attire because it is going to be a gran event!

Sounds fun, hope I can make it.

A remiere party is a combination release and premiere party. The DVD is a combination CD and film, so a remiere party it is.

Dude I just found your website. Who is the funny looking guy in all the pictures. He looks like someone I knew in Highschool.

To All,
The remeire will be a grand event to attend if you happen to be in the vicinity of Memphis on Sept 8th.

If you live in other cites/states/countries/dimensions it is not too late to make travel plans.

Sally,

No one really knows Doctor Toboggans.

At least no one that will admit to it. Even his mother went conveniently senile when questioned about the beloved therapist.

He is an unknowable mystery. It’s probably better that way.

Oh, that (remiere) was on purpose, the joke is on me!

Does Doctor Toboggans do counseling? I met a guy named Bob in highschool and have never been the same since.

Sorry Brent,
After an unfortunate incident as a young PFC stationed at Millington(that was not my fault!), I am afraid that I am not welcome, by city officials, to ever set foot in Memphis again. Those poor ducks at a well established, but unnamed, hotel will never be the same. So I will have to catch the highlights at the OC or the DC and enjoy it second hand.

Debbie,
It’s ok. We understand that somethings have to explained, occasionally.

I don’t think the therapy is helping.

PP…yep…I said PP…Party Poopers!

Chris- you could always come incognito.

rj- We could pretend Graceland is not in Memphis. (I personally enjoyed the G-land tour)

Debbie,
Thanks, but I am afraid the ducks might recognize me. I hear they have really good memories. Years of therapy can’t heal scars like that.(Even from Dr. T.) I might be able to pull it off if DR T. loans me those glasses and that really cool tie. Then again, someone mentioned 70’s attire, which causes me intense mental anguish due to an over abundance of very tragic hand-me-downs from my five older siblings. It was socially paralyzing to still be in bell bottoms in the 80’s, when everyone else had moved on to parachute pants………….. sorry, I need to go get hug.

Chris,
the five older siblings or the parachute pants may be the cause of your mental anguish. Dr T. may be able to help, but he is the oldest child.

Chris,

No worries man, those Peabody ducks are animatronic so they did not experience any pain when you tried to roast them for dinner. Oh wait…they are a part of the security team with little hidden cameras in their duckheads so you are probably on file.

Five older siblings eh? No wonder you have a good sense of humor. Being caught in the 80’s with bell-bottoms must have been very traumatic. Nothing worse than looking like a retard when you are young and impressionable and actually care what people think of you. Ok, now I don’t want to go either.

Sally,

Dr. T is the oldest child? Did he tell you that? He probably does not have any siblings, which would still make him the oldest child I guess. He is complicated that way.

He has a little sister. Poor girl having to grow up with a guy who dresses like he does.

Debbie,
I didn’t try to roast them, but I do anecdotal evidence proving the old “myth” that a duck’s quack does not……. in fact…….. make an echo.
Ohhh the horror! Who knew elevator shafts were so small and inaccessible?
Ok, that’s it! I am definitely NOT coming!
Sorry

Chris,

It’s ok. If memory serves me correctly, all the USMC Commandants went through the duck abuse phase.

Wow,
I’ve been off on vacation all weekend and just look at what all of you have been up to: Dead Ducks, Graceland, and parachute pants.

Some people definitely should not be left without supervision.

Welcome Sally, You seen seem to have some insight into the dear doctor. Dysfunctional Therapist Psychology is a small field of study, some might even call it a little field, but it is good to finally have someone get the story straight.

We’ll leave a comment box open for you.

Thank you for your kind words of welcome. I shall enjoy sherring with this assembly of humorous people. I believe I will be able to give the dear doctor some insights. I have a diagnosis for you. Please consider getting help for T.H.S.(Total Humor Shutdown).

rj,
Visiting Graceland is not a prerequisite for coming to Memphis. I have lived here for 6 years and I have never been to Graceland. It is avoidable.
