Since Bison asked, I will answer (despite the fact that he likely did not want actual answers, nor does anyone else...)

Also, Milo, it would be easier for me to make fun of you if you would supply any or all of the following:
1) a picture of Milo.
2) a picture of Milo's family.
[/ QUOTE ]
Not a good idea. I have mentioned my marital activities with Mrs. Milo more than once. We are fat and forty and a picture of us would only cause people to get pictures in their heads best not experienced.
As to pictures of my family, my children are 4 and 6 and are adorable. I won't post their pictures because there are an awful lot of degenerates on this list (you know who you are).
[ QUOTE ]
3) a description of your therapuetic technique (Freud and BF Skinner jokes only go so far).
4) a picture of you arm-wrestling Chesspain.
[/ QUOTE ]
My therapeutic style is best described as cognitive, with a heavy dose of "jack 'em up against the wall." I believe that patients come to my office because they are unhappy and need to make change. I am quick to point out distorted thinking, and confront them when they choose an unhealthy path. I believe in helping people to accept responsibility for getting better and making change. Many times people come to my office damaged by others. I tell them that the damage is no fault of their own, but that they bear the responsibility for getting better. No, it's not fair, but who ever said life was fair?
I also do a fair bit of forensic psychology (insanity evaluations and the like). This fits my style well.
Chessie and I have never met, so no arm wrestling photo. I suspect he could take me. I have met Dr. Al, and am pretty sure I could win an arm-wrestling match there. I would not take him on heads-up in poker.

5) a scan of your children's most recent report cards.
[/ QUOTE ]
Little Milo Jr. is too young. Millie's most recent report card suggested she needs to work on her spelling.
[ QUOTE ]
6) a statement from Milo's wife describing her reaction to the general sentiment that you are "hen-pecked".
7) a statement from Milo's wife regarding your unfair descriptions of her on these forums as a "harpy", a "harridan", a "low-down mistreater", and "the best I could do". Really, Milo, she's a lovely woman. What is your major malfunction?
[/ QUOTE ]
I must clarify a few things here. Mrs. Milo is an exceptionally patient woman who objects not at all to my poker play. In fact, my oath to her to never put more money into poker was my idea. She has quite reasonably objected to my characterization of her here as unfair, and asked that I admit publicly that it was not she who set rules on my, it was my own harsh and punitive super-ego. BTW, I prefer to think of myself not as hen-pecked, but as XXXXX-whipped.

8) statements from your children regarding their father's "second job" in which he stares plaintively at a computer screen searching for a sense of satisfaction and pride that they can apparently never give him.
[/ QUOTE ]
Poker is my third job. My second job is teaching psychology at the local college. Sadly, I have few students who write as well as the average poster and none who write as well as Bison.

9) a photo of Milo carrying or being carried by a duck.

Now you're just being silly.
