To my fellow Roberts, please enjoy the day. I recommend my favorite red wine, Montepulciano, coincidentally the birthplace of St. Robert Bellarmine in Italy. A Jesuit, cardinal, saint, and Doctor of the Church. We won't hold his thoughts on where the sun is in the sky/celestial plane against him  |

One of my favorite underrated Fab 4 songs:
"Ring, my friend I said you'd call
Doctor Robert
Day or night he'll be there any time at all
Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert
You're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can
Doctor Robert
If you're down he'll pick you up
Doctor Robert
Take a drink from his special cup
Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert
He's a man you must believe
Helping anyone in need
No one can succeed like Doctor Robert
Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you
Doctor Robert
My friend works for the National Health
Doctor Robert
Don't pay money just to see yourself
Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert
You're a new and better man
He help you to understand
He does everything he can
Doctor Robert
Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you
Doctor Robert
Ring, my friend I said you'd call
Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert"

Nice to have my "name day" recognized. If any of you other Roberts out there are ever in my neck of the woods, stop by and get blessed with my first class relic of St Robert Bellarmine...no charge of course (would not want to start top another reformation).  |

Robert, Robert, bo-bobert, bo-na-na
Fanna, fo-bobert,
Fee fi mo-mobert, Robert!
Just thought of that song. I believe there was a basketball player who we were trying to recruit in the RW era, who's name was Fofanna or something like that.

Reminds me of a movie: What About Bob? Hated that movie. I had been a fan of Bill Murray until he used that movie to ridicule people with Tourette's Syndrome. He actually said there was never a good reason for suicide...unless you had Tourettes. My son and granddaughter have Tourette's (not the Coprolalia or Echolalia type - simple ticking) and that turned me off to his "humor" from then on. |

I haven't seen the whole movie, but from the parts I've seen you could argue the filmmakers were trivializing or mocking quite a few disorders that are not funny to the people who have them. |

I agree, but it was the link of Tourette's and suicide that struck home with me.

A favorite commercial:
"Sniffle, sniffle, cough, cough. I can't come in today boss."
"That's OK. I'll call BOB from Account Tempts. He can do everything."
(Speaking in a rapidly clearing voice) "Actually I'm feeling much better. I'll be right in boss."

“Account tempts “ is that some kind of on-call prostitution service?
