we didn't have the bogeyman when I was little.
We had the tushy-faced doctor. Or at least, I had him.
My dad would speak of the tushy-faced doctor. I am not sure in what context he would speak of him. I think just part of the sort of stream of consciousness gibberish that I am also apt to speak. Maybe my sisters will remember what, if any, function the tushy-faced doctor was supposed to have.
Whatever he was supposed to be is irrelevant. I had a picture of him in my mind and he scared me. A doctor with all the usual accoutrements: robe, stethoscope, that mirror thingee that straps around your head. Only it was strapped onto the top of a giant ass, mounted on a neck. I would picture myself lying on a gurney watching the tushy-faced doctor walk down the hall on his way to examine me.
Now, I think he might make a good comic book character.

As I remember it, the tushy-face(d) doctor was the guy you went to if you were a little bit hurt or sick, ie oh you skinned your knee,you'll have to go to the tushy face doctor or don't do that, you'll get hurt and have to go to the tushy face doctor. I think only dad talked about him, can't imagine mom saying that. But I'm getting old, and that was a long time ago.
I do know that when I was very little the notion of him made me laugh, then when I got a bit older it confused me, then I remember it just disturbing me.
Is the tushy-faced doctor sorta like when my sister gets pissed off & calls you an assly face?
nils, you're right! It's not tushy-faced, it's tushyface doctor. The question is, what it meant to be disturbing? I would say, how could it be otherwise, except for my knowledge of the guy who made it up.
crackhead, I believe it is nothing like that.
So I asked Papa Smurf, and he just smiled. He said it was nothing, just nonsense..."but it sure was funny watching you guys chase each other around saying watch out I'm a tushyface doctor. Makes me question my whole childhood
Man! Going straight to the source! However, it should have been obvious that a man who invented the Tushyface Doctor wouldn't be very forthcoming about it thirty years later.
Do your kids know of this doctor's existence?
I think if a mentioned a tushyface doctor to them, they would just look at me like I was nuts.
Hey think of all the yiddish porn blog hits you will get from these posts.
I was doing OK w/the weirdness of the tushyface doctor until nils brought out yiddish porn.
Thanks a lot!
Yeah, I can't wait for this page to get indexed in Google. It'll be better than Sparklestone's last identifier
I like the idea of the tushyface doctor..it's a mocking term...making the doc less like a bogeyman and more human...
There are faces that look very much like a hiney...Glenn Campbell has one.
Rectal lice will bring you to my blog...and I didn't say it...a commenter did. You can't control commenters now can you?
Perhaps Thorn and Thistle will also show up for rectal lice searches...I could use the company.
Nice pic, but I think nils is right about needing eyes.
I've decided the pink floyd judges chin would pass this from tushy-face to ass face. IT'S a fine line, I know.
Got no beef with the tushy faced doctor man. He meant us no harm (sorry too much lebowski). Just a doctor with tushy face. Never scared me - never even disturbed me in the slightest. Except for what would happen if he actually had to make a BM. Now BM that was not a term used in our house alot - the doctors (tushy-faced and just plain ole regular-faced well they used that term) In our house I believe the correct nomenclature (sorry again) was doodie! Have not mentioned the aforementioned tushy-faced doctor to my children however my children do know when asked that buttocks is funnier than butt and that underpants is funnier than underwear. Nuff said
