Oh my goodness. Poor, poor Dr. Batch. I must say one feels simply drained, exhausted, spent, shall one say, after reading of his travail -- and, one assumes, this is only his most recent travail. Poor Dr. Batch. One wonders how he manages. Perhaps we'll get greater insight from future installments.

[Fat Guy]

So too do I hope the good doctor will provide us with many and varied future installments, but I'm hardly sanguine. As you might imagine, he has a bit of difficulty meeting deadlines, and the mechanics of editing and production are anathema to him.

[tryska]

i'm confused. what was the reason behind all this drama?

[Suzanne F]

So, Doc, whadya eat?

[Lady T]

Whatever he had...may I have something else, please?

[docsconz]

Some things he didn't eat - his medicine!

[Andrew Fenton]

Fear and Loathing at Denny's, I guess...

[tryska]

i guess so.

i needed a xanax after reading that. and i still don't know why???

[Mr. Blister]

Alrighty then...

[Andy Lynes]

Dr Batch is a bit of an enigma really. His correspondence is erratic and quite unpredictable, and, as it is highly unlikely that he will appear on these boards in person, we will just have to make of it what we can.

I have an uneasy relationship with him, and I can't honestly say that I particulary look forward to his visits, but I know that our paths will continue to cross.

[tryska]

is he a paranoid schizophrenic?

[Anna N]

Methinks he's Andy's alter ego.

[FoodMan]

Very weird, I did not get it much either. BTW refering to him as Dr. is a little creepy in a Hannibal Lecteresque kinda way.

The weasels are on the menu.

I think he's more like the Moriarity to Andy's Holmes.

[Jinmyo]

There there. Just sit right down and have a nice cup of tea. Isn't that better? You'll be right as rain.

[Mr. Blister]

How does he feel about Bayless and Burger King?

[Jason Perlow]

Didn't you guys realize this is the lost Cambodian mekong delta episode of "A Cook's Tour"?

[fifi]

Two words... sick puppy.

I can't wait for the next installment.

[Mabelline]

Oh, Lordy. This was the very first thread I read since an unscheduled absence. I appear to have channeled H.P. Lovecraft in my machine! Someone please assure me this is not a lingering flu effect....
