Ipitty Bipitty
These are the magic words from the Bewitched television series. They began a spell for manifesting a Caesar salad: "Ipitty bipitty salad green, oil, vinegar, chi-chi-bean, I call on Caesar's eternal soul, here and now fill this bowl."
Jayne, I clearly recall, as a five-year-old, trying to conjure Dr. Bombay when I had a crisis, having memorized the magic words: "Calling Dr. Bombay! Calling Dr. Bombay! Emergency! Come right away!"
"If David Lynch and Jorge Luis Borges created a book the result would be something very much like the writings of Craig Conley. As with those artists, Craig's work creates truly remarkable and subtle effects. His books are ones to dream with and learn from."
