Funny blog. It’s always interesting having a conversation at the dentist. Especially when all you want to do is hurry up and get out of there. The spelling was definitely great for a chuckle!

Poetikat — I did and it was funny! “Was that shink or sink?” I could have used a translator myself. I love that Cosby bit. I’ve seen “Himself” a thousand times and every time it cracks me up. Thanks for giving us a link to his dentist routine. Classic!

Kathy, Tell the truth: You must have had to re-enact that out loud in order to write it. Good job! It’s so easy for us to relate to that experience.
I hope you get selected for the race – I’d love to be able to tell people that I “know” you – even if it is only online. Of course we would want you to win too.

Here’s a great dentist sketch from another Master.

Bruce — You guys did a great job! Wow! You were so relaxed and funny! So you’ve done geocaching?! That’s something I’ve thought of doing. Very cool! It was nice to “meet” you in the video. Good luck and let me know if you get The Call!

Periapex — Funny you mentioned that. As soon as I got in the chair (9AM) I regretted not having breakfast. I rumbled away for the next hour.

Bruce – I’ll watch the whole video soon. I’m impressed you got so much done so quickly. Good luck to you and may the best team win!

ann of the shampoo bag — Did it make you wonder how stupid we looked in our tape?

The application video for TAR – not sure if it helps us or hurts us.

The problem with not talking is that when it's too quiet, my grumbling stomach becomes much louder... Periapex's last blog post..I’m Perfect.

Maureen — I have to admit, I was laughing very hard as I was reading it aloud. My husband was cracking up, too. Amazingly, he still understood me through my chuckling. I could barely get it out.

JD at I Do Things — I worried no one would understand what I wrote and then I’d have to post again with translation. Thank God you guys are so smart!

KFJ — Maybe my dentist should give patients a placard with frequently-used words and phrases on it and I can just point. Honest to God, I just want to be mute in the chair. Is that too much to ask? (The bag is still there).

Rudy — Glad you liked it and I’m happy to have been Tweeted!

Periapex — Ah, now that’s the way! Besides, don’t things move along much faster when nobody’s talking?

Bruce — See, Ann and I could never have whipped up a VHS tape. We didn’t have a clue what we’d say or how to film it. The stand-up gig at the audition was enough work. I’m impressed with what you accomplished in such a short time. That’s gotta count for something. And you’re right. The application process is some measure of work, and it probably makes some people say “Eh.” Would love to see your audition tape if you YouTube it. Let me know if you do!

The TAR application process in itself was like a leg of the actual race, the application itself would be a good basis for a dinner get together with friends just to compare answers. Since we didn't have an open casting call nearby, we had to scramble around and do the tape and all the passport paperwork in about 3 days. If nothing else we at least get our passports. I hadn't thought about posting the audition tape on U-Tube, but I suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea. I might look into doing that this evening. Considering the difficulty of the application and the fact that it isn't very widely promoted, I am sure alot of people plan to apply but few actually do. I am hoping the competition isn't as stiff as I fear. But regardless, this is a long shot for all of us. Bruce's last blog post..Essential Cinema - 29
