Can you do a decent impersonation?
I can do a spot-on Hank Hill: "Bobby....If ya weren't my son, I'd hug ya."

I can also do a pretty good Michael McDonald, but it requires a mouth full of oatmeal and a broomstick up my ass. (I save that one for special occasions)

1. Hank Hill kills me -- my nephew does a spot on impression of him. I do a decent Elmer Fudd. n/t

3. I did a decent Bill Clinton back in the day, and I can still do a mean Dubya.
Other than that, I don't really have anything I'm good at, though I did apparently do a PERFECT impression (according to my friends) of another one of our friends when we were in Hawaii some years ago. Haven't been able to do it since though...

19. Bill Clinton is one of my better ones
Although I have honed down a decent Don Corleone (Brando's from Part 1). I even stuff part of a napkin in both cheeks for the full effect. The key to doing him is not to overdo it, like so many comedians do.

4. My Bill Cosby is better than Eddie Murphey's.
I can do a few others, but that one is probably my best.

5. I do a great impression of
a teabagger -- dress in the 'Amercian' flag, yell a lot and act stupid.

18. I do an awesome impression
of a squirt bottle. When my cats are being bad and I can't lay my hands on immediately on it, I can make the identical sound it does and the cats tear off out of range. :rofl:

21. the Grinch (face), Carl Spackler, Hannibal Lecter, Bernie Kosar (dropping back to pass)
and I can do a voice that Billy Crystal did in "Running Scared" that totally befuddled telemarketers back in the day. I had one girl on for 45 minutes- she had no idea if I was a man or woman or what

I do a good Harry Caray and a pretty good Skip Caray

23. I do a good Bob Dylan
and not in that stereotypical wheezy nasal way, but more somewhere between Dylan and Roger McGuinn. That is, it sounds authentic, not like a parody.

26. I do an excellent impersonation of
a person who cannot watch television for more than 5 minutes without falling asleep on the couch. Er...well, I'm impersonating me in that case, but it's the best I got here.

28. Every impersonation I do comes out sounding Indian
unless I try to do an Indian impersonation, in which case it inexplicably sounds Irish.
