10. I make a good people helper for psych patients because I "get it".
9. I think a lot, seems most people don't, therefore, I am more likely to understand the jokes on NPR.
8. I don't fall apart when I break a nail, or skin my knee. I have a clue what real problems are.
7. When my pals are in trouble, I am there for them. I'm not afraid to listen to problems involving abuse, trauma, psychoses, or broken finger nails. I can handle it.
6. I stand up for those who can't help themselves because I been there and it sucks.
5. Being nuts made me cling to my spirituality for strength, and made me a much better person.
4. I love "bag ladies" - they remind me of my mom. I want to bring them all home.
3. I occasionally get to look at my hotty T.
2. Emotional pain hurts, yuppers, it surely does, but it's like pinching youself after a bad dream...I KNOW I'm alive.
1. I get to meet lovely Babblers.

Sheesh, if ever someone could make a gal blush it would be you. No, I take it back, please do continue. You are doing miracles for my overly-inflated ego. Let's just hope all your praise doesn't make my head so big that I can't fit through the door.
Kid, have I asked you lately to marry me? I believe it's past due. I'll be waiting for the ring, and only the best will do of course, as I am perfection. A wise and handsome man once told men that. In fact, I think he was rather young as well. Keep talking, I'm listening...

Kid,
I really should be working, but this “wise and handsome man ” Karen is referring to is intriguing to me. That would be you right? Of course it is. We didn’t need Karen to tell us that, did we? How could we have missed you for Mr. Psychobabble USA? (http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/social/20040109/msgs/302466.html) Were you hiding in fear? Well, now we’ve found you and I do believe you should enter. I mean, if Karen is saying you’re good looking and we already know you’re charming and witty, well, I think you would have one heck of a chance at stealing the title away. Away from who, you ask? Well, that still seems to be up for debate. There have been many in the running, but, IMO none compare to my T, Beefcake. Karen’s T, Bubba has always been a strong contender, but I must say, he is a bit lacking in maturity. Miss Honey’s T, Bean, well I mean, come on. He wears a calculator watch for heaven’s sake. (Oops, sorry. Hope you don’t wear one. If you need help in this area, just let me know. I can search the archives for the all-important, life changing calculator watch thread, as well.) Of course, Dr. Bob made a feeble attempt to abstain from the competition, was unable, but ended up being disqualified anyway as he had a bad case of the hives. He should be no worry to you.
You really should enter. We already know you have the talent portion of the pageant - I mean competition - won with ease. All you have to do is pull out the pompons, boom box, and get your cheerleader’s uniform from the dry cleaner.
No entry fee is required. The only requirements for participation in Mr. Psychobabble are as follows:
1. you’re either a therapist or certifiably crazy (preferably both)
2. you must be assigned a nickname (preferably one that starts with a B)
3. you must have a sense of humor (preferably warped) and
4. most importantly, you must suck up to the judges (preferably all of them - that would be me, Karen, Miss Honey, Elle, gardenergirl, and anyone else interested).So, you in?
Eagerly awaiting your response,
All Done

(first of all, that line just isn't long enough) ..kid's talents reach beyond the pompons. And are you sure that's how you spell pompons anyway? I think Bean should be disqualified anyway. No one wants a guy who tucks sweaters into his shirts on her arm anyway, except Miss Honey, and I assure you she'd have no trouble taking him home anyday. So, that leaves Bubba, Beefcake, Burt (can't forget Elle in this mess), and there was Big as a judge as well, but he wasn't really a major contendor. So, kid can take his place and perhaps we can leave Bean in for entertainment purposes. Now, everyone knows who gets my vote, as I don't really even find Bubba attractive any longer, Bean can barely tie his velcro shoes without his mother's help, Beefacke is lousy in the sack and Big is too busy combing his hair to even give me a second look, and lately Burt's been less than helpful.
Now, let's talk about Mr. Blues (I think that would be kid). Unless, of course he wants a different name for the pageant--oops--I mean competition. Would you be wearing a speedo or a tuxedo? A french twist or your hair down? Makeup or none? You must discuss all the girlie aspects if you are to be involved in a beauty pageant kid. And you hope to win the crown. And the prize of course would be----meds for life! What a great prize, eh? Now, for this one, I'm thinking Vegas? Can't we do Vegas? I just love Vegas. Free drinks and gambling, you can't beat that. And everyone knows Karen's awful fun when she gets loaded. And could you play guitar naked? And an 80's song, like "Every Rose Has it's Thorn" or "Cherry Pie" or something sweet like that? I'm a sucker for those timeless classics. I heard All Done's a fan as well. But, I suppose something more like JJ Cale would suit me fine too. So, are you up for the challenge kid? You don't have to do much, just allow us to make fun of you is really all you have to do. You could even make fun of yourself. Though, I'm certain it would all be lies, as there isn't anything about you that I'd change. Well, except that pesky comb-over. Next time I see you (tonight perhaps?) I'll bring the razor.

Please add
Being able to blame my angry inner child when the adult me gets mad at family/friends/co-workers.
I snapped at a co-worker and apologized with "sorry my inner child is out of control again." She said nothing, but another co-worker asked me three times today how I'm feeling.
How am I? He doesn't know how hard that is to answer, I mean what part of me does he want to know about?

<< Now, let's talk about Mr. Blues (I think that would be kid). Unless, of course he wants a different name for the pageant--oops--I mean competition. Would you be wearing a speedo or a tuxedo? A french twist or your hair down? Makeup or none?>>
How bout "Big Bad Blues Boy" BB Baby for short.....um....or what you said
<<And could you play guitar naked? And an 80's song, like "Every Rose Has it's Thorn" or "Cherry Pie" or something sweet like that? I'm a sucker for those timeless classics.>>
Well, actually I've already done the playing guitar naked gig with fairly disasterous results. I broke a G string,(they pop with significant force and can be quite lethal) lots of blood, paramedics, ER, and some exquisitely delicate plastic surgery. So I might have to *pass* on that part of the pageant...er....competition.
<< I heard All Done's a fan as well. But, I suppose something more like JJ Cale would suit me fine too. So, are you up for the challenge kid? You don't have to do much, just allow us to make fun of you is really all you have to do.>>
Well, you making fun of me wouldn't be much of a stretch since you pretty much do that already.
<<You could even make fun of yourself. Though, I'm certain it would all be lies, as there isn't anything about you that I'd change. Well, except that pesky comb-over.>>
I no longer sport a comb-over thank you. I recently had a hair transplant. It went quite well. I had the remainder of the hair on my head transplanted to my back, ears, eyebrows, and two really cute little tufts in each nostril. It's quite attractive.
<< Next time I see you (tonight perhaps?) I'll bring the razor.>
and don't forget the whip and the heels............aint I clever?!?!

Well, you better start talkin’, Jeff if you want to win. This was your formal entry into the competition, right? We need all the able bodied men we can find here on Babble. Do you sing? Dance? Look good in a tux (or a modified version perhaps with a fedora and/or trench coat)?

>>Well, actually I've already done the playing guitar naked gig with fairly disastrous results. I broke a G string
Oh lord. You broke a g-string? That must have stung. How are you going to participate in the swimsuit competition? I was really looking forward to seeing you in your red Speedo, mister. Now, I’m going to have to leave that up to my imagination and you know what that means. No extra points for Blues :(.
Only because I like you so much will I let you in on a secret. At least two of the Mr. Psychobabble judges take bribes. Now, I can’t tell you which two, you’ll have to figure that out for yourself, but I’ll give you a hint. They are by far the two most intelligent and prettiest Babblers and just love older men with access to expensive diamonds and cheap wine.
>>I no longer sport a comb-over thank you. I recently had a hair transplant. It went quite well. I had the remainder of the hair on my head transplanted to my back, ears, eyebrows, and two really cute little tufts in each nostril. It's quite attractive.
AAAAHHHHH! This will never do! You really have some training to do to get in shape for this pageant if you want any chance at winning. Again, I will let you in on a secret. One judge in particular has a terrible aversion to body hair. I suggest you head immediately to the nearest spa for some hot wax treatments. As a matter of fact, it might be best if you just do it at home before anyone sees this atrocity. Do you have any candles at your disposal?
Still, Blues, I do have faith that you can come through all this shining like the star you truly are. You have serious potential. Just keep your eyes straight ahead, do as Karen and I tell you, and you’ll be fine.
The second toughest judge,
All Done

(Oh, All Done, please forgive me)
First of all, you need to take your claws out of kid. Aren't you married anyway? And besides, you wouldn't want me phoning Beefcake and telling him about your fascination now, would you (and doesn't your husband have a hairy back? I thought I saw it last night, but I could be wrong...)? Now that this is settled... The only judge he needs to kiss up to is me, because I'm the only judge whose vote truly counts anyway. And that's no big secret.
And while I'm at it, stop propositioning kid for pictures of him in his speedo. I have a few, but if you want to see them, it's gonnna cost you, and the rates a risin. But, I suppose I could cut a break for you, since your husband has a hairy back and all. And also since you have that penchant for sequins and lime green dresses. (And if you want to make fun of my boyfriend, please do so. In fact, perhaps I'll send you a picture to give you something to really laugh about....) Now that I've crushed any thought you've had of latching onto kid, we may continue with the pageant....(It's all in good fun, NO??)
And just one more thing... Why do you have to play so nice? It only makes me look meaner.. Come on, I know you have it in you... Play mean, let me have it. After the last pageant, I know you want to, I'm waiting... Perhaps we could join forces and make fun of kid instead? Yes, I'll do that...
Kid, you really must get rid of all body hair for the competition. I know All Done and I don't like body hair. We know that Bean's as hairy as a mammoth, so he scores very low on the sex appeal scale in our book. However, if he looks similar to Bean that does add a few points... (Relax Miss Honey, Bean is our entertainment, he won't be DQed unless he attempts to remove his trousers.) So, do you need help removing all that hair or what? If so, call your local spa or I'm sure Jai would be willing to help you out. (Jai, are you going to jump in, or do I have to keep mentioning you?)As for the speedo, be sure to pick a "flattering" color, as you don't want to look short-changed. Moving on...
Who said I like cheap wine? Just because All Done frequently drinks cooking wine from a box, doesn't mean that I partake in those activities.
As for the talent portion....Just what are you going to do? I realize that you are multitalented. Whether it be slacking off at work, writing long-winded posts, or just going on and on about your mean wife... But how could that ever hope to win you the gold? Seems you need to rethink your strategy. Perhaps you could put your charm to use and write a love sonnet, specifically for yours truly. Or instead, a large diamond would work for me, but that wouldn't settle well with the other judges. I think you could feed us all ice cream with whipped cream on top and that would go over well. Now, that's a fabulous idea. Or, even cook dinner for us! Now we're talking.
I don't see much competition here. Bean can't do much, except simple algebra problems on his calculator. Bubba could help us solve our problems, but we wouldn't fall in love with him and sometimes he gets angry (and besides, he's rather young and inexperienced), Big would be too busy fixing his hair and brushing the lint off his jacket to even participate, Burt, who even knows what's going on in his head??, and Beefcake, well, he'd be too busy sweating to the oldies backstage to come up front and give us a shot. Kid, as long as you can cook up something good, look nice in a speedo, keep All Done and Jai's claw's out of your back, and deliver me a nice sized diamond, you've got this pageant in the bag.... Unless of course Mr. Paul Simon enrolls... Then, we may have a problem....

It's about darn time you decided to respond to me, kid. What made you do it, the devil or something? I was getting worried that you didn't like me. Well, no, that's not true. Of course you like me. How could you not? I'm *way* better than Karen and you seem to like her.
About that. What's really going on, kid? Talk to me. I mean, do you seriously want Karen chasing you around with her schoolgirl crush? Don't you think you could use someone with a little more maturity? And breasts? Have you heard about Karen's? Nothing to be proud of, that's for sure. Just a side note - I've heard Miss Honey has a bum that would make any man shake in his boots, but, well, you'd have to take on Bean to get to her and that might be trouble for you. Did you say you have a watch with special powers?
I digress. Have you also not heard that Karen is an absolute klutz? Yeah, it's pretty sad. She wears these enormous, chunky heeled shoes that she can't even walk in and she wonders why she spends most of her time flat on her back. (Hey! Hey! Get your mind out of the gutter!) And the perfume! Ugh! All things in moderation, you know. She's single handedly kept Jovan Musk stocked on the shelves of every Walgreens in the nation. Hopefully, jay likes lots of perfume. Did you see her over there flirting with him? Did you see that? What are you gonna do about it?
Well, that's enough for now, I suppose, but I would like to add that I'm glad you're going to continue to post on Babble. What would we do without your charming, witty self to keep us going? And I must admit I need some help from time to time keeping Karen in line.
Don’t be a stranger,
All Done

Looks like Karen must *once again* play police officer and remedy this situation before it gets out of hand, eh?
First of all, I must laugh at you. You actually think that you could compare to me? HA! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! (Please, allow me to continue laughing for a moment) Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. (I think it may be out of my system for a while.)
So, perhaps you type better than I, BUT your charm pales in comparison. Maybe if we combine the two of us, we'd have the perfect woman. No, that's still wrong. Maybe if you were my secretary! Yes, that's more like it.
Now, allow me to address a few of your comments..
You said: I was getting worried that you didn't like me.
*For once in your life, you may be right! NEXT!
You said: you seem to like her.
*Ok, you were right again NEXT
You said: I mean, do you seriously want Karen chasing you around with her schoolgirl crush?
*I chase no one, thank you. Actually, I prefer to think that kid's chasing me around. Hey, kid, just who's chasing who? Settle this one, once and for all... And besides, do I detect a hint of jealousy here? Yes, I'm quite certain that's what I smell in the air...
You said: Don't you think you could use someone with a little more maturity?
*Ha! I won't even respond to this one. Moving on.
You said: And breasts? Have you heard about Karen's? Nothing to be proud of, that's for sure.
* Now, let's talk for a moment about my ample breasts. Sure, they aren't wonderful, but they get the job done. I'm just waiting for some kind man to buy me a pair so that I'm finally have a pair of breasts of my own. We all have faults, but at least mine are only my breasts. Yours, on the other hand, seems to be: personality, chunky thighs, flat feet, a full beard, that roaming eye, and of course who could ever forget those saddle bags. Now, my breasts may not be large, but I shall one day have breasts! Oh yes! That day will come my friend! And when it does, I'll send you many, many pictures, just so that you can cry because you will realize that you too have small breasts! So, don't make fun of my breasts until you are able to realize your own short-comings as well.You said: I've heard Miss Honey has a bum that would make any man shake in his boots
*You forgot to mention that she shakes it when she walks up the stairs in front of Bean! You left the best part of the story out. Of course, I'd expect that from you!
You said: Karen is an absolute klutz
*He knows this by now. Most men admire women who are able to admit their faults. Also, I've never heard a guy complain about girls who walk into walls, have you? And I've never heard a man complain to me about the amount of time I spend on my back. I'm more apt to fall wearing no shoes than I am in heels.
You said: She's single handedly kept Jovan Musk stocked on the shelves of every Walgreens in the nation.
*I don't even know what to say. When you smell as sweet as I do, you can get away with wearing cheap cologne. I don't have to drench myself in expensive perfume to cover the foul smell of jealousy that exudes from my body, like one woman I know. Does that ring a bell All Done?
You said (and I can't believe you even said this one): Hopefully, jay likes lots of perfume. Did you see her over there flirting with him? Did you see that? What are you gonna do about it?
*When I flirt, people know it. I practically hit someone over the head with a stick. I don't tip-toe around anything. So, don't be so quick to assume anything, because when you assume, you make an a$$ out of you and me. (I had a teacher that used to say that) By the way, Jay, do you like perfume? I wear a rather classic fragrance. I'll tell you if you're interested.
You said: Well, that's enough for now
*I'd say that was more than plenty
You said: What would we do without your charming, witty self to keep us going?
* Something else we agree on
You said: And I must admit I need some help from time to time keeping Karen in line.
*As if you could ever hope to keep me in line! The nerve! I suppose you help keep me posting. And you help keep me angry, but keep me in line? Never!
I must say, All Done, you've really gone overboard with this one! Keep trying! You're almost at C+ material now!
