Dwayne Hickman Decapitated?

Just a quick note on the whole Dobie Gillis thing. I dida search on IMDB for the old TV show and came up with: "Bring Me the Head of Dobie Gillis" Obviously poking fun at the old Peckinpah movie Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, but whoda thunkit? This came out before Tivo, so someone woulda hadda put it on VHS to keep this alive. Anybody out there know where I can score a copy? It's gotta be one of those, so bad it's good kinda shows. Besides, anything's better than reality TV.

The Dobie Song...

Complete with creepy black n' white horror show footage! I was tooling around on Google trying to see what place Dobieville is coming in line today, and about the time I got to the 40th page of my "dobie" search, (yes I really need to find, secure, and live an actual life) I found this: LINK. It was just weird enough that I hadda give a shout out to the peeps that posted it. Good thing I've already got "a girl who's dreamy". =) If anyone knows where that song came from, drop me a line and I'll give ya a key to the city! Also, I've found that apart from being a town unto myself, I'm a Theatre, a Wonder Sponge, and of course, an ever popular 50's/60's TV show, but I'm sure you knew about that one. Now, in the words of Maynard G. Krebbs, I gotta get back to "WORK!"

Not the only Town in Town...

And to be clear, we are not Frogtown either... After setting up the Blog and getting the home page to look, well a little more homie-er, I hadda see what would happen if I Googled 'Dobieville'. Unfortunately, it did not come up as the most viewed website in the history of the Net as I had foreshadowed to my friends and family. (To be honest, it didn't even make the first 3 pages of the Googled word 'dobie' which deeply concerns me). There was of course one reference to Doberman Pinschers, but I've gotten used to that and am glad for the fact that the one dog that shares my name is the kind that can rip people's throats out as soon as they will fetch a ball =) The one thing I didn't know was that there really was once a town called Dobieville. Its name was derived from the fact that it was entirely populated with Doberman Pinschers which ran off any human settlements by ripping out people's throats as soon as they would have fetched a ball. Actually, that's a big fat lie. The name was really derived from the fact that all the buildings in the town were made of Adobe brick (back before they invented Photoshop, those guys were way into brick production). Here's the link I found: Dobieville or Frogtown It really doesn't sound like too bad a place: lots of drinking, gambling, an occasional circus, and it says they even had a bowling alley! Although I find it's a bit more difficult to pick up a 7-10 split when you're 'rolling' on Adobe brick, I'm sure I'd be plastered on enough moonshine to prevent me from caring about it! Anyway, if anyone knows how I can get Dobieville to the top 10 'Dobie' searches, (without selling my name on some Spam list) lemme know, and I'll be sure to put the dogs on a leash next time you come to town.
Ciao,

Dobie
