(Yeah, I found this through a vanity search.)

Huh? Is there some other jackelope you’re imitating, or do you know me in person? Send e-mail if you like.

Sorry; I’m better at “Sugar” or, better yet, “My Little Grass Shack.” But I’m sure if I heard his “Frosty the Snowman,” (which, I doubt not, is terrific) I could do it.

The Jackalope is a critter voiced by that comedian who used to be on Full House, Dave something.

Dave Coulier.

I still think “Cut. It. Oooooout” when I think of him.

Anyone else watch that show on Nickelodeon as a child? It also had the chick that played Calliope on Days of Our Lives at the time. I think her name was Arlene somethingoranother.

Oh, I just remembered, I also do a dead-on Garbo. I used to work at a magazine with a guy who did a very good Jimmy Stewart, so when we were bored, we would do a version of _Green Acres_, starring the two of them.

I know this is slightly off-topic, but my husband looks like the guy that does Gumby’s voice. My husband bears a striking resemblence to the long-haired gray guy from Lord of the Rings. Gandolf the Gray? That’s my hubby. That is also Gumby’s voice.

Not that Gandolf the Gray is the ACTUAL GUY that does Gumby’s voice. He just looks like him.

[nolife]This is about my favorite thing to do.[/nolife]

I can do most of the adult male Simpsons characters… my Mr. Burns is very good, Homer still needs work at times (don’t know why it’s so hard). The kids, other than Ralph and maybe Martin, are tough going.

Who else…  
Richard Nixon  
Louis Armstrong  
Bullwinkle J. Moose  
Sean Connery  
Peter Lorre  
Chris Rock  
Bernie Mac  
Scooby Doo  
Shaggy  
I guess I could shorten this by saying ‘many of the major cartoons’… I also do cartoony (that is, learned from TV) versions of George Bush and Jimmy Stewart

Been working on Patrick Stewart for years (actually, for a long time I was just afraid to). I think it’s finally getting somewhere. I’m trying to get Ian McKellen down as well.
