Bill, he's a cute little critter, but not the one I'm looking for.

Who is "Shmendrick"?

The name of the character in an operetta by Abraham Goldfaden.

Max, another good idea, but not the Shmendrick I'm looking for.

It looks like you are on the horns of a dilemma if you can't find my Shmendrick.

Wizard from the "Last Unicorn" by Peter S. Beagle

fealola, I've got to stop giving you clues that you cleverly discover my topic.

Shmendrick is the name of the magician in Peter S. Beagle's "The Last Unicorn." He was a rather incompetent and obscure wizard.

I wonder if Beagle chose the name for the "insignificant" connotation.

Shmendrick means an insignificant person. It often is used to describe a
child as a rascal or "little devil." For example, "My grandson, the shmendrick, has me wrapped around his little finger."

whoops, Breaux is a Senator! (I knew that... )

Can't find where it says he's Cajun!

Gene Green
Gene Green boasts that he doesn't need anyone from louisiana to translate Cajun for him because the Cajuns in Texas speak Cajun as well as Spanish.

The following is the page of this quote, but it can't be copied and transferred here.
