Ok, So Proof That Japan Is Weird, Weird Place...

So, apparently, Billy Herrington, a gay porn star (like most of you didn't know that), is a big deal over in Japan, and this is supposed to be some sort of tribute to him. Or something.

Watch it all the way through, and the music is annoying, but stay with it until the first spank on the back of the, uh, "car." Then if you can't take it, mute it. (Oh, and Not Safe For Work.)

Ok, So Otis

I've avoided talking about some personal stuff going on in my life for a while now, but I think that the time has come to share with all of you guys what's going on, partially because it has affected the show/blog a little more recently, and may for a little while after this post, at least as far as my participation is concerned.

On September 27th of last year, my pug Otis was diagnosed with cancer in his bladder. It came as a complete shock to me, as I was thinking I was taking him to the vet to be treated for a bladder infection (He had a few accidents in the middle of the night while we were sleeping.) The tumor was/is inoperable, in that if they operated:

a.) there was a very good chance that he was going to have no bladder control and

b.) the way the tumor was growing, they were almost certain they weren't going to be able to get all of it, guaranteeing that it would grow back, and may be more aggressive.

The vet gave Otis a diagnosis of 1 to 3 months, but suggested that if I put him on chemotherapy, that may double his life expectancy. Bracing for an estimate of several hundred dollars, I was pleasantly surprised when my vet said it would cost approximately 27 dollars a month. I immediately agreed and Otis and I started our daily ritual of taking our meds together in the morning.

As months went on, Otis would get up several times in the night to demand to go out to pee. This was exhausting for Babaloo and I, but we did it because we knew that he couldn't help it. I think one night between the two of us, we got up six times. Eventually, we decided on taking turns, like parents with a crying newborn. It worked out well for months, even as we could see a gradual decline in his energy level. Then one night a few months ago, I was watching television with Otis in my lap, and it felt warmer than usual, but I didn't think anything of it. He got up, and I had wet pink spots all over my pants. Then, that night, I rolled over into a pattern of small wet spots all over any place where he had been sleeping. The brown sheets didn't help as far as seeing that there was blood in his urine (denial is a wonderful thing), but coming home from work the next day, and finding blood all over the kitchen and dining room floor was a nightmare for me. I called the vet and rushed Otis in to his office. The vet did a catheter on Otis, and brought in a vial that looked like tomato soup to show me. "This is what's in his bladder now." The vet said that the tumor had grown to the point of where it was feeding off of Otis' blood supply, and he would eventually become anemic. The vet gave me a prognosis of a couple of days. She also provided me with some antibiotics to possibly help ward off the risk of infection, as that may have been a factor as well. That was about two months ago. Otis got used to wearing an incontinence belt that has become so stretched out we have to tie it in a knot in the back, making him look like a little sumo wrestler when he walks around the house.

Over the last week or so, Babaloo and I have notice a severe drop in Otis' functioning. He's lost a significant amount of weight, you can feel his bones when you pick him up. He's stopped eating for the most part, though he did enjoy some Fuji apples yesterday, but tends to vomit when he does eat. He's still taking in a very small amount of water. His incontinence pad seems to less and less full when we change it, and he's sleeping a lot more, and becoming a little less steady on his feet. BUT, he's still following Babaloo and I around, still wagging his tail, still has a glossy look in his eye. Most importantly he does not appear to be in any pain. He's just kinda laying around like a senior dog should. We've begun talking about the final days, and if I should take him in versus letting nature take its course. Earlier today I spoke with the vet's office. She explained to me that unfortunately even though he is not suffering now, that he will begin going through dehydration, which she stated would result in suffering for him, something that I don't want. She said from the sounds of it, he's not quite ready to go yet, but we're looking at 24 to 48 hours now. (It's important to note here that I have said from day one the moment I think he is suffering, I will take him to the vet to be put down.) She explained to me the process for euthanizing a dog, and that my vet's office is willing to make a house call (!) to assist the family with comfort. We talked about final arrangements. I've decided I would like Otis to be cremated, and I think that I would like for his ashes to be returned to me.

Drum and I got Otis two days after 9/11. We were blessed to get him through Pug Rescue of Tampa Bay. He had been found wandering in the woods of Pasco County for what was probably weeks. He was gaunt and missing hair, and only 13 pounds when they gave him to us. We eventually got him up to 23 at his biggest, and while he was a pain in the ass at times, he is/was our pain in the ass. (I have offered for Drum to be present when we say goodbye to Otis, feeling it only right that he have a chance to say goodbye to him. He said he thinks he would like to be here.)

Otis is the first dog I have ever had, and this experience is something I never thought I would be going through. You kinda forget about this part when you get a dog, that they have shorter life expectancies than humans do. To say I am sad would be an understatement. I have a headache from crying all day, talking to people on the phone and keeping them up to date. Everyone keeps telling me I'll know when it's time to make that last call. I can feel that time getting closer. And it sucks.

So, while we taped 115 last night (pretty good show, if I do say so myself) and I will be editing it, it may be a little while before it gets to all of you. I'm thanking you all now for your support. I've said before we have the greatest listeners in the world, and I mean that. I know some of you will be thinking of Otis, and praying for him or whatever your belief system allows for. Just please take care of your pets, be it dog, cat, parakeet or snake.

Thank you all for letting me vent about this. I was feeling like I couldn't get anything done today until I got this off my chest.

Oh, and, because this is, you know, a blog for a comedy show, let me end with this. If anyone sends me a note or comment that involves the words "Rainbow Bridge" in it, I will personally fly to wherever you are, knock on your door, and when you open it, punch you in the throat. I hate that poem.

Thanks,

TtLB

Ok, So VERY Good News For Us Zombie Comic Book Fans!!!

How fucking cool is this?!?!

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – In its biggest development deal to date, cable network AMC has acquired the rights to Robert Kirkman's popular comic book "The Walking Dead" for a potential series.
Frank Darabont ("The Shawshank Redemption") is on board to write, direct and executive produce the project.
"Dead" chronicles the months and years after a zombie apocalypse, when a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, travel in search of a safe, secure home. The comic explores the challenges of life in a world overrun by zombies. Over time, they grow willing to do anything to survive, and interpersonal conflicts sometimes present a greater danger to their survival than the zombies who roam the country.
"Walking Dead," a monthly black-and-white comic book, has been a hotly sought-after property since it was published in 2003 by Image Comics. Darabont originally developed the project several years ago under his deal at NBC. It landed at AMC after a healthy bidding war.

Ok, So Judge Not, Yest Ye Be Judged.....Yeah, Right

Ok, So Now All The Comfort Of A Golden Shower From Rodan And You Don't Even Need To Leave Home!

We got him a truck! (Thanks Ricky for taking this picture)

Ok, So I WANT ONE!!!!!

it's a dwarf pony!!!

Ok, So Things I Think About In The Shower, or A Diamond (Edition) Is NOT This Boy's Best Friend

A disclaimer here: I know that if this is the only the only problem in my life, then things are good. I'm more just looking for someone to tell me what to do (i.e. justify what I am probably going to do anyway.)

So, for the last 7 years or so, I have been collecting Disney Platinum Collection DVDs. More than just the original movie, I really enjoyed the first couple of editions for all the extras, most notably Snow White And The Seven Dwarves. It had TONS of extra stuff that I appreciated, and found the restoration of the film to be really enjoyable. I decided after Snow White came out, that I was going to get all the Platinum Editions because they were the best Disney put out as far as quality and an eye for detail. Plus, there was plans for them to only put out 10 over 10 years (one a year), and I thought rather than buy ALL the Disney animated features, I would just get the best of them.

As time went on, Disney changed their Platinum Edition policy. For one thing, the added a couple of films to the 10, and they started putting them out twice a year, October and March. All in all, it's not that big a deal, I can handle it. I bought the first Blu-Ray platinum, Sleeping Beauty, this Spring, and I have to say, it's a beautiful movie to watch. (Babalu and I reviewed it over on the Pugs and Popcorn website.) Disney announced that the last Platinum Edition they are putting out will be in March of 2010, and it will be a combo pack of Fantasia and Fantasia 2000. Now, say what you will, but I LOVE The original Fantasia, and while I already own the DVD, I will get the Blu-Ray when it comes out.

But apparently, the mouse isn't done with me yet, because NOW, and this is where it gets stuck in my craw, Disney has announced their new DIAMOND Editions - Classic Disney Features on Blu-Ray. And guess what the first one is.

Fucking Snow White and The Seven Dwarves.

Now, I know that it will probably be, for the most part, the same features that are on the PE, and I know that I don't watch the movies enough to really justify buying it. But we're talking BLU-RAY here - high quality sound and picture! But then, the collector in me rears his head and says, "You know, if you're going to get the FIRST Diamond Edition....you know you're going to want them all." Some of these movies I already own in VHS AND DVD - Do I really need them in Blu-Ray, too? And who knows if five, ten years from now Blu-Ray will still be the standard in picture quality? Am I going to get yet ANOTHER version of this movie?

I know there are film buffs, tech geeks and disney nerds out there that can help me to know what to do here. While I don't think I will lose any sleep over it, it's still something I'm thinking about.

Taffy, mock away.

Ok So Insomnia, Hurrah!!!!

If I was feeling better, I know I would be calling Taffy right now for a morning Starbucks date. You know she's been up for an hour already and she's waxed her floors, planted a vegetable garden and given herself a pap smear. She's got moxie, our Taffy.

Ok, So It's A Pithe Helmet!

I have no idea what this is doing on the Discovery Channel, but it's three minutes of heaven. She's like something that would be in a Christopher Guest movie.
Oh, and this is also why I don't go to the mall.

Ok so...Denmark and Romania are clearly out for Tank and I...

Heading abroad? Think twice before you have sex on the beach (or anywhere else in public), because the penalties for being caught could mean the difference between one heck of a night, or 2 years in jail.

A German travel review site compiled a list of the various countries, and how they deal with people caught in the act:

• Sweden: €50
• Italy: €300 plus up to 2 years in prison
• Croatia: €150 plus up to 30 days in prison
• Romania: Up to 7 years in prison
• Spain: Up to €75,000 (average fine is €700)
• Thailand: Up tp $750
• Turkey: €200 and up to 2 months in prison
• Egypt: Up to 3 years in prison
• Denmark: Up to 4 years in prison
• France: €15,000 and up to one year in prison
• Greece: Up to 2 years in prison

So, now you know which countries to avoid if you plan to have sex in public! Some major tourist destinations have added manpower to their police force with the sole purpose of catching couples in the act. The Spanish party island of Ibiza issues an on-the-spot fine of €700 ($1000) if you get caught, which obviously puts a major dent in your vacation budget.

Ok, So "Where The *($#$%# be PiMC 113, Bitches?!?"

So, you may have all noticed a large gaping hole in your iPod. But enough about Rodan. Anywho, 113 has been scrapped mainly due to the fact that after we taped it, None of hte three of us felt it was up to snuff....hee hee...snuff is a funny sounding word. Ahem. Sorry.

Add to that I am sick with a head cold this week, and Rodan's busy out of town schedule, and we decided that it was best to just take a week off. So, we will have (hopefully) a couple of episodes this week, including Rodan's music episode AND a short video where Taffy and I will announce the winner of the t-shirt contest - I'm sure nipple play will be involved somehow. Or not. Shit, why do I give her ideas.

Also, Taffy and myself will be part of the Foul Monkeys live show on Pride48.com this Sunday, August 9 from 3 to 4 - possibly a little earlier, but definitely from 3 to 4! We are looking forward to the show, and if you can't be there for the feed, and you don't already subscribe to Foul Monkeys (and, when all is said and done, you have no reason NOT to), then be sure to subscribe to their show to get a copy of the show later next week!!!

(and the picture has nothing to do with anything - it is just the first thing that came up when I typed "skank" into google. Just because!)

Ok, So Whole Albums? There's a Concept For Ya!

So, I have been all caught up on my podcasts of late, given that two of them (ahem!) have decided to go the way of the Dodo, so I thought what better time than to catch up on some of the whole albums of music I have bought over the years. I am a collector, and as such, sometimes I don't quite get to listen to all the things I have. Plus, like most of us, I have had my attention span shrunk to the size of a gnat, and am usually satiated with just a track or two. But, given all this stuff is taking up space on my hard drive, and I only really listen to 50 songs or so with any great regularity, I thought I would check out some of the other stuff in the dark recesses of my Mac.

The first album I listened to is Songs of Mass Destruction by Annie Lennox. Now, as you all know from the CD show we did a while back, I love Diva, and have found a lot of her other stuff since very hit and miss. For every "Waiting in Vain," there is...well, I can't think of a song, but stuff I don't care for. Anyway, I got Songs of Mass Destruction, and other than Sing, never really listened to it. Until now.

I have to say I very much enjoyed it. My favorite song is probably Fingernail Moon, the final track on the album. My least favorite is Sing, the song she recorded with many other artists, including Madonna. It sounds a little too mid 90s for my taste, and other artists singing are indistinguishable and as a result, distracting.

The next album I listened to was Heigh-Ho Mozart! Favorite Disney Tunes In

The Styles Of Great Classical Composers. An amazing album - fun music to fold laundry to, actually. The music ranges from the old classics (Snow

White, The Jungle Book) to the latest films (Pocahontas)My favorite is The Second Star To The Right (in the style of Tallis), but all the songs on this one were quite enjoyable.

Now, before I am mocked, let me say that I am not a "fanilow." But, Ultimate Manilow takes me back to being a little kid, listening to my mom's 8-tracks and AM Radio. I forgot how many songs he had, and while I didn't know all of the words to all of them, I knew the melodies, and well, I did scream all the words to "Copacabana" in my car the other day.

Because I am not quite gay (and nerdy) enough, I decied to move from Barry to Bette. Bette Midler Sings The Peggy Lee Songbook is a GREAT CD! I have the Bette Midler Sings The Rosemary Clooney Songbook, but never got around to listening to the next set of songs. I think Lee's works are better tuned to Midler's personality. Ballsy, and sexy with just enough comedy for my taste. I definitely enjoyed this one, and am looking forward to learning all the words to Is That All There Is? to lip sync in my car like a big girl.

This was kinda fun - if you guys like this, let me know and I'll let you know what I think of the other stuff on my hard drive!

(No, that doesn't mean porn. Unless.....hmmm......)

Ok, So All The Bloggers Are All Drooling Over This...

to which I ask... "Really?" I don't get it. Plus that tattoo is stupid looking.

Meh.

Ok, So Taffy, WHY Are We Not In Rhode Island This Weekend?!?!

This is just PART of the Newport Jazz festival in Newport Rhode Island. If any of our listeners live in the are, don't walk, fucking RUN to this festival and enjoy it for Taffy and me! Here's a link to the whole lineup.
