I rarely post RIPs, but I feel compelled to do so with Peter Bergman‘s death…someone that helped me feel I was…well, different.

If you have not listened to Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers, I encourage you…nay, I entreat you to do so.

For the record, I may be banned from chaperoning field trips from my kids’ school after the last trip–I tried to teach kindergarteners to respond to “Doesn’t Louise count?” with “Only to 10, Mudhead.”

Thank you Mr. Bergman and associates. One day my kids will understand the source of some of my quotes. Or not. In the meantime, I have fun making absolutely no sense to them.
