You one one of the few people on this site who has shown the ability to be able to think on your feet in critical situations. Would you consider a top level management position with us here at HP?Meg Whitman [This message has been edited by Ted Todd (edited 09-21-2012).] IP: Logged |

Ted,
SCREW MEG ! OOPS! I really didn't mean to say that in that way.(I hope that was not recorded!) What I meant to say is that I could really use a guy like you in my upcoming administration. Would you accept a cabinet position with me if I could get you an office right next to Clint?Mitt IP: Logged |

Ted,It's a fact of life: With APA in session, the board will be dead. Everyone has better things to do. Consider: * Barry could be giving a blessing to the called-by-God crowd, just as the Pope does when the faithful journey to Vatican City... * Ray might have everyone spellbound with his dazzling "Turd Polishing with Statistical Alchemy" presentation... * And good ol' boy Skip, may, at this very moment, have everyone totally captivated as he does when channeling Jubilation T. Cornpone during his "Nailing the Pretest" routine... The possibilities are endless, but today's the last day, so things should pick up soon. Dan IP: Logged |

Bill2eI found it! No I didn't? Dissociative identity disorder (DID), also known as multiple personality disorder,[1] is a mental disorder characterized by at least two distinct and relatively enduring identities or dissociated personality states that alternately control a person's behavior, and is accompanied by memory impairment for important information not explained by ordinary forgetfulness. These symptoms are not accounted for by substance abuse, seizures, other medical conditions or imaginative play in children.[2] Diagnosis is often difficult as there is considerable comorbidity with other mental disorders. Malingering should be considered if there is possible financial or forensic gain, as well as factitious disorder if help-seeking behavior is prominent IP: Logged |

There's nothing wrong with Ted. His actions are in all likelihood simply an external manifestation of the underlying doublethink that pervades the polygraph industry.

Dan,If I were to agree with you, we would both be wrong! I am quite sure there is definitely something wrong with me. I’m not quite sure what it is- but my wife seems to think she does. She has a name for it but I can’t post it here. Welcome Back! Ted

Dan, I would normally try to give some smart, pithy comeback to your remark, but it's late and it's been a long Monday trying to catch up from being gone for a week to San Diego, so I'll just say kiss my Jubilation T. Cornpone ass. IP: Logged |

Careful there, Jubilation. Tangle with me on the forum and you might get a little mud on that there seersucker suit of your'n...Here's a link to a rare video of Skip channeling Jubilation T. Cornpone his own self in a song-and-dance routine that rivals the very best of "Nailing the Pretest"

Dan, First of all please understand that short of insulting my dear mother who is now deceased or my wife, children or grand children, your juvenile comments about me personally do not bother me. Please feel free to continue if it makes you feel better or superior in some way. From your past comments on this board however, it appears you are a very disappointed and angry young polygraph examiner and apparently you really have misgivings about your career decisions. If poking fun at me, my accent or my training classes helps you live with that anger and disappointment, I'm happy to help out. It also appears from many of your past comments here that you are slowly alienating quite a number of other forum members as well. So much so that I might very quickly be in the majority of those people who find your whining a bit tedious. By the way, I'm very proud of both my Southern heritage and my Southern accent so teasing coming from a Yankee makes me even more proud to be Southern. "Ya'll come back now ya hear!" Sincerely, Skip "Jubilation T. Cornpone" Webb

I've seen you talk many times Skip and you certainly have a talent for speaking. Skip’s talks are the best and if you don’t enjoy his talks you should probably check your pulse. I sincerely wish some my teachers in school could have mustered up a little Jubilation T. Cornporn. Your teaching style is both educational and entertaining. It was good seeing you in San Diego... eh JB

Skip,Looky heah. To Jamie's point... When someone says that a teacher or lecturer is channeling Jubilation T. Cornpone -- AND makes the direct connection to the late great Stubby Kaye's knock'-em-dead performance in L'il Abner -- that is hardly an insult. I guess you missed that part. Similarly, I saw Eric Holden teaching PCSOT stuff at a CAPE conference a few years back. (Ted was there.) Holden was dynamic, almost manic at times, strutting up and down the aisles, stogie in hand or clenched in his teeth. With his shaved head, commanding voice and wholesale bravado, Holden reminded me of G. Gordon Liddy's widely acclaimed portrayal of "Captain Real Estate" in several Miami Vice episodes. That's not an insult either, because people paid attention to Holden's presentation. I spent over 20 years in corporate communications. "Jubilation T. Cornpone"-type speakers were (and are) worth their weight in gold. (In your case, Skip, that's a lot of dough.) It's death when you have a hall chock full of conference attendees who've paid good money only to suffer through the dronings of a Casper Milquetoast. Acting is part of being a good polygraph examiner, interrogator or speaker. As for the rest of it... Who have I alienated? The self-proclaimed Chosen Ones? The statistical alchemists? Those who openly profess intellectual surrender to the Church of Polygraph Scientology? I ask the tough questions and play devil's advocate because no one else is doing it. And it has to be done The polygraph "profession" seems to take a whistling-past-the-graveyard approach when it comes to a reality check. So, calling BS on some of this stuff makes me a bad guy? Wow, that's heavy. Evidently taking an oath of omerta is part of the polygraph profession's package... I don't get it.

Thanks a lot Dan for putting that lil diddy in my head. It's been a few days now and I still find myself humming and tapping to Jubilation T. Cornpone. I'm probably showing my age but damn that's a catchy tune! JB

Yeah, Jamie, it's a catchy tune alright. And those first 35 seconds of the clip are just sooooo "Skip"!I first saw Skip channeling Jubilation T. Cornpone hisself during "Nailing the Pretest" at the AAPP shindig in South Portland, Maine back in 2006 or so. Good stuff. Here's more rare footage of Skip playing along with a client, no doubt to establish rapport prior to the in-test phase...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlyOCf_SOUY Take a look. It's not a toe-tapper, but Leslie Parrish makes up for it. What a doll! And Skip has some great lines, as always. I would hope that we can at least agree that some of the old classics hold pretty well today. That golden era of entertainment seems like it was eons ago. How things have changed. The country has made some great strides since then (1959), but, at least to me, we've lost a few things along the way too... Dan IP: Logged |

Fair 'nuff. Keep it coming then. quote:
The polygraph "profession" seems to take a whistling-past-the-graveyard approach when it comes to a reality check.
Just to clarify... Whisting-past-graveyard is a strategy for coping - denial, avoidance, sublimation of energy - that kind of thing. Is it whistling-past-the-graveyard to try to study and describe the degree to which the polygraph profession can and should account for itself using the common language and principles of science? Or is it whistling-past-the-graveyard to adopt a don't-even-bother-with-it attitude towards professionalism and science and to try to remain glib and confident knowing that we simply get information? The second one seems more like Ostrich behavior to me (head in the sand, arse in the air). The only advantage to this is that we would be less aware (if that is any advantage) of the fact that we are dead in the sights of our enemies if we do nothing. The first option doesn't seem like denial or avoidance to me - seems more like engaging the problem directly (the facts themselves, not the people stating the facts). r
