Mind Over Memphis – Episode 3: Tennessee SuperLab

December 13th, 2009

Guy Cobb is a man who has forgotten how to play by the rules

As a former Bud Light Daredevil, Cobb grew accustomed to ignoring the demands of gravity and when he launched the Tennessee SuperLab Show with its blend of backyard science, impromptu invention, and crazy stunts, things got even worse.

If it were not for my timely intervention, Cobb might still be spiraling wildly out of all bounds.

It will not come easy, surely not without AFITE,* but I will cure Guy Cobb even if it takes every nickel he’s got.

Mind Over Memphis – Episode 2: Visible School

November 15th, 2009

Visible School founder Ken Steorts is a man badly in need of therapy.

Ken Steorts and Dr Harold Toboggans

Some nine years ago, armed with only a credit card and a dream, he set out to “fill a need” he saw for the musical and spiritual training of christian musicians and ended up with a full-blown music college for his troubles.

Talk about overcompensating.

Fortunately for him and his students, I am on the case.

With the help of my clinical intervention, and a great deal of cash, I hope to soon set Steorts on a more lucrative and fulfilling course of education, one spent on a more financially endowed student body composed quite possibly of accountants, assassins or even personal injury attorneys.

But until my treatment can take full effect, you can see the current musical mandate of Visible School here.

Mind Over Memphis – Episode 1: Nightshade Manor

October 16th, 2009

At first glance Kevin Gaiman seems to be my kind of guy: organized, industrious, frightening.

Harold Toboggans and Kevin Gaiman at Nightshade Manor

His Nightshade Manor facility, although billed as a haunted house, is actually a first class psychiatric clinic, specializing in what I like to call “adrenal-assault therapy.*”

Unfortunately, closer examination reveals Gaiman to be riddled with generosity, compassion, and other mental shortcomings.

Unlike myself and other reputable therapists, Kevin pays his staff, and worse still, regularly offers discounted admission to the public.

That’s right. Nightshade Manor brutally lops off $2 of each ticket price for those bearing two items of canned food for the Mid-South Food Bank.

This condition has gotten so bad that over five tons of food have been collected and…how it pains me to say it…donated over the last three years.

Clearly, I reached the man just in time.

He’s a difficult case, but with lots of work, and a small fortune, I’ll have Kevin Gaiman back to adequacy before you can say, “feeding the hungry.”

Fixing Your Toboggans – Dr T and the Mid-South Spay and Neuter Services

September 27th, 2009

As I made my rounds through the Cooper Young Infest, curing hordes of hapless revelers from the dreaded plague of Partyophilia, I kept a sharp eye out for associate therapists to add to my corporate stable.

Many lesser psychiatrists feel threatened by potential competition, but not I.

That’s right my patients, Doctor Harold Toboggans relishes the presence of useful individuals, people  who even though helpless to add to my staggering wealth of knowledge and talent, might at least serve to expand my list of billable services.

Specifically, by doing the actual work themselves.

And in Deborah Camp and Michael Correll of the Mid-South Spay and Neuter Services, I think I made a real find.

They are dedicated, snip-happy individuals, and other than their minor lapse in judgment by offering to remove a man of my unique wisdom and stature from the gene pool, they seem to display all of the poise, assurance, and spontaneous surgical instincts required of my junior therapists.

And since their operation is non-profit, they should feel at home with my pay scale

Sadly I was not so fortunate at the next booth, where I had hoped in invest in a profitable puppy scalping ring. See my disappointment in the upcoming and tragic dog coats video.

Flat Track Therapy – Memphis Roller Derby and Doctor Toboggans

September 24th, 2009

One of the many benefits of being a therapeutic genius is that my boundless reserves of skill and intellect are so massively beyond what is considered normal for a human being, it leaves me completely immune to intimidation.

Yes my patients, so confident am I –Doctor Harold Toboggans – in my extreme mentality and sheer masculinity, that even the most violent, aggressive and surly of women leave me completely non threatened.

Even if they seem out to beat me at my own racket.

Memphis Roller Derby Therapy

So when I encountered the ladies of Memphis Roller Derby out promoting their own brand of full-contact therapy at the Cooper Young Festival, I didn’t even pause to panic.

But I did make them an offer that no one in their right mind could resist.

Observe my gracious proposal in this jaw-dropping video:
