Hey Puppetboy, What are you too busy painting Naimh's hair to post on your own blog? Why don't you regal us with tales of giving Tanya Donnelly an elephant? Don't make me look up your real name in the Bible. Like Joe Rockhead, nobody likes me, nobody laughs at my jokes.

Definitely Bonaduce because he was in a show with a character that gave me and Puppetboy's band our name.
Are you a relative of Richard "Dick" Bemis of Utica, NY?
No, all the Bemis's are Worchester stock, born and bred, near the Game Borough.
Sorry, I used to work with Dick Bemis at Con Ed, haven't seen him in years, last I heard he had cancer.
Hey, Pat! It's Busby.
