Magic Bus
Every day I see you pass (too much, magic bus)
You glide right by my window glass (too much, magic bus)
I just grin from ear to ear (too much, magic bus)
Wherever you are, you’re right here (too much, magic bus)
Thank you mother for buying that ad (too much, magic bus)
I’m sure it was expensive, just a tad (too much, magic bus)
I don’t need no drink or drug (too much, magic bus)
I get my kicks just seein’ your mug (too much, magic bus)
Nooooooooo!
I don’t need no drink or drug (too much, magic bus)
I wanna see that bus and your mug each day (too much, magic bus)
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it…(I can have it!)
Ten o’clock and six o’clock every day
Just a glance then you’re away
Ten o’clock and six o’clock every day
‘Cause you’re my fix in every way
Magic bus, magic bus, magic bus…
(With thanks to P. Townshend)

What a good-lookin' kid! I've heard he looks just like his mutha!
I am envious of the bright white smiles on your bus advertisement! Many of our local So Cal dentists have tried to imitate this ad, but alas the smog infected air turns the smiles on the bus to a dull shade of brown within 24 hours or less thusly giving cause to those who prefer to fear the dentist and stay far away from his chair.
As for me...well, my smile is more of an advertisement for Starbucks deep, rich brown coffee...or a warning!
Thank you both for your kind comments.
Two points:
Our son was reluctant to be part of a large multi-faceted ad campaign and is still dubious about all the fuss.
Second, the ad campaign was put together by the Soup To Nuts Advertizing Group in Newport Beach, CA. They do pretty good art but their follow-up sucks and their price is stratospheric. Mostly I think they specialize in living an episode of Metro-sexuals in the City where the primary motivation is making their next Porsche payment. But this is just my impression. Mrs. Yak had to deal with them and she has muzzled me about any further details.
Mr. Yak,
I think I must be missing something here. By reading the comments on "Magic Bus" I deduce that the kid on the bus is your son. Am I right? Or do you know the dentists who are advertising on the bus? I'm confused.
One more thing.
I've decided to stop checking the OG Blog. I check it every day at least two or three times and every time I say, "Why am I checking this blog?" Gas is too expensive to keep driving over there for nothing. Maybe you would be willing to let the rest of us know when he rejoins us.
I feel really good about this. It takes me back to my protest and boycott days of the late '60s!
Shilohman,
Allow me to explain in Mr. Yak's absence. I think he's taken a brief break from blogging to try & earn a living.
This is Mr. Yak's attempt to further torment our son. We know the dentists well - I'm Practice Manager for their group practice and have been with them for 12 years now.
About 8 years ago they decided to use photos of actual patients in some upcoming marketing campaigns. They put Andrew on their list. He reluctantly agreed since we got some nice, professional photographs out of the deal. I assured him that the out of state marketing firm had no idea who he was and with hundreds of photos to choose from it was extremely unlikely he'd show up in any ad, at any time.
All these years later, I'm still trying to explain to him how it is that he showed up on the front of all the full color brochures, on the splash page of our former website, on large framed promotional posters, and then 7 years later on the side of two city buses!
Is it any wonder he went 2,500 miles away from home to attend college?
Peter - he'd like the name & phone number of your psychiatrist's office if you don't mind...
Mrs. Yak
One more thing. I agree. Let's ALL stop checking the Og Blog. Oggie will have to post an announcement on one of other 3 blogs to inform us of his return
Mrs. Yak
I have it on good authority that the OG is on a one week vacation and will not be in the company of his computer. And, yet I'll still check his blog every day looking for more comments if nothing else!
Dear YB of SC,
I feel like I am following you around from blog to blog.
If YOU want to keep checking the OG Blog, fine. I don't care if he's on vacation now or not. He didn't tell US he went on vacation. (Besides,his being on vacation just makes me insanely jealous anyway!) And that DOESN'T explain where the heck he's been since...WHENEVER!
The clarion call goes out! Boycott the OG Blog until he lets us know there is something new there!
Hey Yak People! MOVE THAT BUS!
Workin' on it.
Hey how 'bout a post from you! Hmmmm?
How about a post telling us what Disneyland would be like during a power outage. Here are some title suggestions:
It's A Mad World After All
Mr. Toad's Dark Ride
Three Hours In Pirate Hell
Stuck on Tom Sawyer's Island With My New Best Friend Shanniqua
The Day I Heard Mickey Mouse Say, "Get away from me, I'm too (bleep)ing hot!"
I Could Have Gone To Wally World!
