Brown X-Wing Squadron
DIAGNOSIS: Avoidant Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: When the Empire descends upon the oppressed citizens of the outer rim, a small team of brave rebels rises up to defend the defenseless. The Brown X-Wing Squadron are not these men. They’re no-thumbs and all-dumbs. These nerf-herders are lucky to pull the tits off a Gundark let alone save the universe from the formidable power of the Dark Side. Also, most of them are Asian so you can imagine their piloting skills. Tip your Bactatenders, I’m outta here.

Buffum’s Fragrance Counter
DIAGNOSIS: Narcissistic Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: Stroll into Buffum’s. You’ll be greeted by such wonderful smells and aromas and snob-ladies! They will cater to your olfactory bulbs and make catty comments about those horrible shoes you’re wearing, you two-timing, wolf-bearded hussy man. What’s that? You’re a woman? You’ll get no apology, non-shaver.
Copeland’s Down Home Health Stop
DIAGNOSIS: Borderline Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: Due to the current economic downturn and rampant southern fatricide™, Copeland’s Truck Stop is going through a bold rebranding process. Once home to the mammoth Lumberjack Pancake Tower™, the Wettest Pork Chop In The West and of course, Mama Copeland’s Famous Milkfed Pie, Copeland’s Down Home Health Stop is now the place to get skinny. With that comes all the lack of excitement and non-thrills you’d expect with drinking breakfast, lunch, and dinner through a straw. Pull up a booth and choose from one of two meals on Copeland’s new anti-expanded menu. Bon appetit!

The Amtrak Heartland Flyer
DIAGNOSIS: Dependent Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: Sit back, relax and enjoy the unique scenery unfolding outside the windows of The Amtrak Heartland Flyer, running its 4,618 mile daily round trip between Oklahoma City, Texas and Fort Worth, Texas. With stops along the way in Norman, Purcell, Pauls Valley, Ardmore, and Gainesville, there are thrills and attractions for everyone! The Amtrak Heartland Flyer is the transportation choice for those Americans who are too paranoid to fly, too fat to walk, and too questionable in the credit department to finance a 1993 Mercury Topaz with 179,000 miles on it. Put down your book, turn off your smartphone, and surround yourself in stupid. The Heartland Flyer will have passengers to their destination in just a few hours, but it will feel like a lifetime.

Cylon Jim and Cylon Phil
DIAGNOSIS: Borderline Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: First of all, Cylon Jim and Cylon Phil are happy to have jobs, don’t get them wrong. The way things are going, most centurions are either begging the gods for enough to feed their families or selling their shiny bodies behind one of Baltar’s base stars. Jim and Phil just, I don’t know, feel like the responsibilities are a bit much sometimes. It’s tough to balance galactic raids and colonial subjugation with understudying Curly in Oklahoma.
The Cobblefax Abbey Busalong Ghost Tour
DIAGNOSIS: Borderline Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: New England’s premiere Yelp-ignored paranormal ghost tour and only winter-operating open-air double-decker bus, Doc Jimmy and Paolo Tibbets have been running this macabre descent into the darker side of New England’s history for the last eight weeks. From young girls buried alive to young boys buried in young girls, Doc and Paolo have a love for all things supernatural. Their shared interests end there. Doc and Paolo began the Cobblefax Abbey Busalong Ghost tour in an attempt to renew their own friendship, and pay off the mountains of debt accrued from the purchase of double-decker busses and paying locals to use their apartments as haunted mansions.

Don Dimello
With past collaborators John C. Reilly and Nick Nolte and Andrew Lloyd Webber and H.R. Giger
DIAGNOSIS: Schizoid Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: Don Dimello’s theatrical extravaganzas have delighted audiences of all ages, but mostly Greek, raincoated men on dialysis. Dimello is best known for his edgy reinterpretations of classic theatrical works and for adding scantily clad women to plays that may or may not need them. Past productions include Three Sisters (In Bathing Suits and Later Nothing At All), All My Sons (And The Women They’re Poon-tanging), The Importance of Peeing, Earnest, Noises (and Clothing) Off, A Midsummer Night’s Dream About Two Girls Slathered in Chocolate Sauce Going at Each Other, and The Pajama Game. Last spring (break), Mr. Dimello launched his controversial adaptation of Sam Shepard’s True West starring John C. Reilly and Nick Nolte; which is apparently still running at some god-foresaken, ragged-edge-of-nowhere, hole in the ground. He is currently engaged in developing a neo-sci-fi musical, post-apocalyptic, cyber-bullshit production of Hey, Really Giger! with Andrew Lloyd Webber and H.R. Giger.
