Toothcleaning Monologue 5/21/07
So did you hear the news? Everybody's talking, the word's just spreading like wildfire. There was such a buzz, Rick DeCristofaro had to walk downstairs and say, "What's this, what's going on? What's all everybody talking about?" And it turns out:
Yakoo is fifty this year.
How about that? So that's what everybody's talking about-- rinse that, Kate-- and we thought, well, we should get a cake. So we were going to go down to Montillio's or O'Brien's and get a cake made for all the kids at North, for the special occasion. And somebody said to me, "You know, Dr. Yacubian, I don't think those kids at North Quincy High want to stand in line for a piece of cake."
Well, that's probably true. So I thought, what else can we get-- you can rinse that-- and you know, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays aren't allowed to use the word "devil" any more, because it's seen as a negative thing. And you know what, we bought three thousand Devil Dogs. How perfect is that, for Yakoo's fiftieth birthday, we've got three thousand Devil Dogs, and those PC police can just have a field day with that. Rinse, Kate.
So then I called up the Hood company, you know, Hood milk; I worked for them for eight years. And they gave us three thousand Hoodsies. So in the last week of school, we're going to go down to North and give every kid a Devil Dog, and a Hoodsie, and a bumper sticker. And then we're going to go to Quincy High and give every kid a Devil Dog, and a Hoodsie, and a bumper sticker. And people say to me, "Dr. Yacubian, why are you going to Quincy High? They're the enemy!" But you know, they stuck up for the kids at North, they did! They stuck up for the kids at North when the whole Yakoo crisis was happening.
And I think this is a great thing. Because everything in the news is negative, or it's serious, and this is just for fun. And we're not promoting anything. We're not selling anything, or supporting a candidate, or fund raising-- you can rinse that, Kate. We just want the kids to have some fun, you know, in the last week of school.
[Do they get to miss class?]
No, no, we have to do it during lunch. The teeth look great, Kate. Good work.
