Topic: Mad Music Special #232 - I'm Offended By Your Being Offended By My Offensiveness

Started by: Stavro Arrgolus

This show's segments 5 & 6 still exist. They are in the files I saved. There's no reason I shouldn't complete this Mad Music Special - while I still can.

New segment for this show coming next month. If I remember correctly, one of the 2 segments was about the most offensive thing of all - playing songs that actually offend me. As you can imagine, it takes quite a bit to do that.

So - young Stavro finally broke down & bought a Win10 machine & is currently in the living room shouting and swearing about "my games aren't compatible with this f-ing thing" or something while I'm having a nice glass of AB negative that I warmed up in the microwave to body temperature. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's chilled blood. But I digress...

He says he needs his "MS Office documents" that he made this show with & he can't get them until he installs Office and that he also needs Audacity to actually record the segment with. I'm a Prussian vampire & know/care little of such things. Stavro also says he's giving up on it entirely in a few hours to watch something called the "Superb Owl." What the hell is so damn superb about owls? I prefer bats myself.

The upshot of all this is that while segment 5 of this show is definitely next in line for recording, he can't do it until his new PC has all its programs working - and that "Superb Owl" show is over. Read: not anytime soon. Gott in Himmel, you Americans are incomprehensible sometimes...

The idiocy hasn't stopped yet. The weather broke long enough for me to go out & get a replacement for my 8 year old Win7 PC. Because...corporate planned obsolescence.

Now it's about setting it up...once I remember how in hell I did it in Feb. 2012. There are lots of videos on YouTube about this, so it shouldn't take too much longer. Just until I pay the bills for the month. Setting up a new, separate email to get certain trolls to stop attacking the old account takes time & concentration & both are in short supply when you reach your mid-seventies.  When all is in readiness, the installation nightmare begins again.

And then maybe, just maybe, after all that, I can finally record this damn segment.

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  01-22-20 08:39 PM  -  4 years ago

Oy, fick mich!

This is done, but I've had no time or energy to record it this week. Half the time was spent hunting for new doctors (specialists are everywhere; not all are good) and the other half was spent drop kicking trolls. Said troll insists there was no malware sent when all incidents with him here coincided with an immediate malware spam attack. Coincidence? AHAHAHAHAHA!

What he doesn't get is that this wasn't only about attacking our members. It was about him being an arrogant, demanding PITA in general. A less tolerant admin would have punted his ass out of here long before Wayne & I did.

You try making a show when you're doing all that AND you can't buy food because your car's a block of ice with a dead battery in the middle of an arctic hellscape.

Just to reiterate...this segment consists of vampires being offended by my offensiveness (hence the show name) and hijacking a show segment to get the message across. They don't quite get the results they wanted, though...

When all this idiocy stops (assuming it actually does), the first thing I'm doing is recording this damn segment.

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  01-18-20 02:47 AM  -  4 years ago

(grumble) This week was just too much. The jackoffs who get paid too much to look after my health decided to become vindictive, bureaucratic a-holes, so they need to be replaced. That hospital always had a questionable reputation and I found out (again) that it's well deserved. They genuinely suck. And I thought we had good health care here in New England. As with everything else, only for the rich, I suppose.

This is why this segment is taking so damn long. I thought I was free to complete it after Wednesday, but then a certain scumbag nurse practitioner with more pride than brains decided to be a total d*ck...or rather to continue being one. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right...

So if I can get a moment's peace this weekend, you'll have a new 40 min. segment to hear comparatively soon. God help the silly co******er who tries to interfere this time.

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  01-11-20 08:49 PM  -  4 years ago

"All I have to do is wait for Tyro to send me the segment mp3. IRL aggravations are interfering with it, it'll get posted when it gets posted."

It turns out Tyro had actual business in Yeovil this week. The thought then occurs - how the hell can a vampire who's been dead for 30 years have business outside of Falmouth way the hell up in Summerset?! I try not to think of these things too much.

Hopefully, he'll send me the damn show mp3 fragments so I can make a segment out of them tomorrow. Or next week. Vampires are never in a rush to do anything.

Just to repeat - Segment 5 is about misplaced "decency" concepts, a very strange playlist...and werewolves, apparently. Like it's Halloween or something. It's going to be another one of those "WTF?" segments. Just because.

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  01-05-20 05:54 AM  -  4 years ago

Bugger all. They actually did it.

I think my vampiric relatives have had enough of the horror of my "offensiveness" show. You know you're in trouble when the undead get sick of horror. Segment 5 was going along just fine until they decided they'd had enough and would commandeer the show yet again for the sake of decency. That's right. Vampires suddenly want decency.

But considering what they broke into my segment to play, I'm not quite sure they grasp the concept of decency. There are no "bad words" in it (technically) - at least not after my opening sequence, but what they chose for the segment isn't exactly sunshine and sparkly ponies, either. And the bonus track is...somewhat blasphemous. They seem to be oblivious to this. And that makes it just fine with me.

So expect this rather counterintuitive segment in a couple of days and find out what the undead consider 'family friendly.'

The old coot did it. Stavro actually managed to get segment 4 made with plenty of time to make Xmas shows. Who knew? ...Too bad it was such a perverted smutfest. I've had enough. And when a vampire tells you're overdoing it with the sex and the killing, you know you've gone too far.

When he decides to make segment 5 in January or whenever, we're taking over the segment and putting the screws to all this NSFW foolishness.

The old guy likes Monty Python, so we'll call seg. 5 "Stop That! It's Filth!", something Graham Chapman's 'Colonel' character said. We'll have a nice, clean segment that'll have nothing to do with dildos or toilets or child killing. While I'm at it, I'll clean up his Advent Xmas show, too.

Segment 4 complete - www.madmusic.com/playlist.aspx?Show=MMS-232

I don't need to tell you this show is already ridiculously offensive, but this segment is something only those with strong stomachs and a twisted sense of humor should be hearing.

Don't say I didn't warn you...

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  11-08-19 01:55 AM  -  4 years ago

Here we are in early November & the rewritten seg. 4 script is complete. I'm actually on time for once.

Ok, here comes the disclaimer (as if it really needed one) - "This segment about sex organs, made purposely to be offensive just like the rest of this episode of TMMS, is to be vigorously avoided by the squeamish, religious zealots and everyone else without any sense of humor whatsoever."

There. I said it.

I'm going to try very hard to get this one posted this weekend, and with the playlist & script finished and the mp3s collected, this means that I can record it at the very next opportunity that I feel up to it which is not right now at 1:45 in the morning.

MMS-232 is already a 2 hour show, so we're in the bonus round with this one anyway.

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  10-30-19 08:06 PM  -  4 years ago

Halloween is now sorted out - I only managed one show, but that's better than the years where there were none.

Before the Xmas madness begins, I'm going to zonk you with another segment of this. If I remember correctly, the next (4th) part of my 'offensiveness' show was about the joy of sex organs...and when I say "joy", I mean "pissing off the easily offended."

It's so horrible that segment 5 is an outraged reaction to the segment I'm about to rewrite & record.

Expect MMS-232 seg. 4 sometime in early November. The rest of the time will be spent assembling Xmas shows.

Celestra Arrgula, Innsbruck, Österreich - 2145 (GMT +2), 12 Aug:

It seems Stavro's doctors have caught the old man "not resting" again. Rather than another shouting match with them about what constitutes 'rest', I've brought him here to be with with me where he'll get some actual rest - whether he wants it or not.

His next shows will likely be the two specialized shows about Monty Python & talking like a pirate...wait, what?! You have a special day where you talk like a...What in hell goes on in America?!

Screw it. He can use my laptop to edit the site & make the new show playlists, but he leaves that bed at his peril.

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  07-31-19 11:40 PM  -  4 years ago

Segment 4 - I Stroke It Every Chance I Get, It's...

...It's excessively perverted, that's what it is.

In the past, I've had whole shows entirely devoted to one type of sex organ or another. This will be a more generalized (and a more intense/sick/nasty) take on the subject resulting in a rather deviant and sticky mess of a segment.

But all this will have to wait. When the Xmas in July show is posted, it will remain on the homepage until July ends. Then it'll be time for this.

7/31: You really didn't think that this would be arriving anytime soon, right? This 3-4 hour special is more of a long term project. The playlist for the segment is complete, but, as usual, I think both the list & the script are a bit dull (read: not perverted enough), so I'm doing what I always do and rewriting it until it's sufficiently disgusting. It'll be done when it's done.

Admittedly, even I'm getting tired of all this filth. I think I'll make a SFW show after all this. Assuming I finish before Talk Like A Pirate Day in mid-September. The TLAPD show won't be SWF at all...Arrr!

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  07-22-19 05:36 AM  -  4 years ago

Segment 3 is posted - www.madmusic.com/playlist.aspx?Show=MMS-232

 After this, the Xmas in July show. Then, seg. 4, which will be as perverted as this segment was blasphemous.

Viscount Vyslo Arrgula   Offline  -  Member  -  07-17-19 12:25 AM  -  4 years ago

Consul Pious: Last week, my grandkids, Vyslo & Celestra, and I decided to have an early holiday in Lucerne, where we saw some very nice scenery, met very interesting individuals (They were delicious - oh come on, we're vampires, what were you expecting?) and generally had a grand old time.

Now I've returned and found that I didn't quite finish seg. 3 of Stavro's show before I left. So now recording the last announce, which was all that was left to do, is on top of my 'to do' list.

Having sorted out much of the rest of MMS-232 and with the Xmas in July show well in hand, the old guy is making a show about something called "Talk Like A Pirate Day.", to which I pointed out that actual pirates never talked like that (I was there, Stavro wasn't). He was having none of that and said the whole pirate thing was fun - just not in Somalia.

I say what's fun about getting scurvy, having your parts blown off by cannonballs & flying splintered wood and not bathing for months on end? He wasn't having any of that either. The living can be so damn obstinate sometimes...

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  07-10-19 03:32 PM  -  4 years ago

Damn right I will. Or perhaps you think this involves only me. I've actually been contacted by several of our people (confidentiality is always respected) expressing the same concerns and sometimes actually encouraging me to do what I'm doing right now.

It's long past time I listened to them.

Even subtle/indirect trolling is still trolling and violates our Terms of Service. Wayne's rule is to give one warning before taking action. I've done that. And more than once. After all the IMs & emails I've gotten about this, I don't think anyone will object to me taking the next step.

Of course, you could avoid all this by actually not trolling. Don't even think you can fool me. We all know it's what you're doing. Knock it off & nothing will happen.

Stavro Arrgolus:

There, that sorts that out.

New policy...actually, it's not new, I just haven't been enforcing it.

All (new) troll posts get deleted. And any I don't delete will be ignored. I have shows to make. I can't be distracted with this idiocy.

Before I forget, new segment [MMS-232 S3] in the upcoming week.

After that, I start suspending accounts - in precisely the way I've always done with foreign spammers who spam us with counterfeit merch or drug links to malware-ridden sites. Why should non-foreigners get special treatment? Equality for everyone, I say. 

As always, "Morale will return once the beatings cease." Or something to that effect. Maybe we'll get some new members when they find our boards aren't full of trolling anymore.

And now, in case everyone's forgotten, here's an updated list of the upcoming segments of this special due to arrive in the next few months. Other shows will continue to be posted between the segments of this show just as the 4th of July show did.

Seg. 3: Well, That About Wraps It Up For God  (a HHGttG reference - and blasphemous as hell)

Seg. 4: I Stroke It Every Chance I Get, It's... (It's perverted & sticky; that's what it is)

Seg. 5: Right! Stop That! It's Filth! I'm not taking chances. I just know that Celestra or Count Aarhus aren't going to tolerate all the hysterically disgusting things I've stuffed this show full of. They'll show up in a whopping great puff of vampiric mist, hijack the show and play a clean segment out of sheer umbrage. I'd better write this clean request segment just in case so this segment is made on my terms.

Seg. 6: Free Floating Hostility This is a change from the original (it wasn't horrifying enough) segment. The title is yet another George Carlin reference. To finish the special, I'll play the most hostile, offensive and generally controversial tracks. Yes, I've saved the most fun for last!

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  07-07-19 02:49 PM  -  4 years ago

Ok, holiday's over; back to this.

If the post below didn't drive the message home, this segment is about god concepts, not religion. Though it'll still be nasty/blasphemous/NSFW - it'd be no fun otherwise.

In all likelihood, Consul Pious will host this segment just as he did the recent 4th of July show. He has the best perspective on the subject. It's a little difficult to worship a thing that you're at least 19 centuries older than.

Stavro Arrgolus:

Now that the toilet humor is out of the way, it's time for seg. 3. I've said this segment about God is supposed to be horribly blasphemous, but looking at it as it is now, it's not all that bad. It's not even about organized religion, just God. This clearly means I need to work on it more. Expect it in the usual week or 2.

Or not. Maybe a podcast should be next. After segments about child death and big, steaming piles of number 2, this might be a good time to take a break from the vulgar and get a new podcast in.

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  06-26-19 07:14 PM  -  4 years ago

I've been told to get more rest, but overgrown lawns don't mow themselves and sitting here at the PC counts as 'rest'. No matter what they say. I'm putting together a 4th of July show. Just an hour, nothing spectacular. If it gets posted before the event (not likely - my back still hurts), well, it'll be there when the time comes.

And now they want to run tests. MRIs and such. Had a hospital visit today. I've got doctor appointments all week. ...It's almost as if - someone or something doesn't want me making this segment about God and is actively trying to stop me from recording it... He's known to have no sense of humor, but this is kind of petty, isn't it?

 - And I've run out of time. Segment 3 will get recorded after the 4th of July show and not before.

So remember, kiddies, do NOT try and get up from a nap in your chair too quickly or you might black out, fall over an entirely different chair, smack your head on the carpet and be in no condition to make your internet show for quite a while.

Viscount Vyslo Arrgula   Offline  -  Member  -  06-23-19 04:58 PM  -  4 years ago

Greetings, all. Consul Pious here & I'm hijacking Vyslo's account for a moment.

It seems my grandson Stavro is still out of action, so I'll be presenting "seg. 3" of this show of his. ...Sometime this week, or even possibly tonight - tonight for you, that is. It's already after 2230 CEST here in San Marino, so I've got a while to sort this out. (Update: more like later in the week)

The 'segment' is supposed to be about god concepts or something. I've been (un)dead for...quite a bit longer than the others, so I imagine I'm uniquely qualified to have a go at the subject.

Stavro wants me to emphasize how much gods and belief 'suck ass'. This is all a bit silly. Unlike the rest of us, he's still alive and has no comprehension of "the afterlife", what's here and whether it sucks or not. This segment should sort the whole thing out.

After this, I'm told there'll be a "4th of July" show - whatever the hell that is. We don't have those here in Italy. And then a "Christmas in July" show. I think celebrating that pacifist's birthday by knocking the hell out of each other in large department stores gets it all wrong to begin with. And never mind that he wasn't even born in December. Now you're celebrating it twice?

I'll never understand America...

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  06-15-19 05:24 PM  -  4 years ago

Segment 4 is the designated "perverted" segment. Dave tells me he'll be unavailable for the time being, so I'll just have to make these segments myself.

Seg. 4 may have to be put off for a while so I'll have time to make the 4th of July show.

RandomSauce-deleted-   Offline  -  Suspended  -  06-15-19 01:14 PM  -  4 years ago
Yeah, but at least Stavro is feeling better so he will be ready to record after segment 3 to make segment 4 or whatever he feels like recording.
Viscount Vyslo Arrgula   Offline  -  Member  -  06-15-19 11:26 AM  -  4 years ago

The Consul is called this because he was a Roman for longer than he was...anything else. To this day, he lives (well, exists) in San Marino, which is inside of Italy. Which makes him immune to garlic...and cilantro...and olive oil. Popeye's not happy about that.

Even if you're undead, everybody's got to be somewhere. I'm in Germany, Count Aarhus is in Denmark, Tyro's in England, etc. The point is, young Stavro's back hurts a lot from the fall earlier in the week and the painkillers are making him 'talk out of his ass', as you Americans say - so the Consul's hosting.

Look on the bright side. The segment will be posted that much sooner this way.

Segment 3 will be hosted by Consul Pious. Since the segment's a blasphemous rollercoaster about God, we thought it best to have this segment hosted by a vampire who existed for millennia before the god(s) you know even existed. This makes the ancient vampire immune to crosses & holy water, among other things.

Young Stavro thinks it'd be so much funnier (and even more blasphemous) to have someone host the segment who thinks its subject matter is all...just a bit silly.

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  06-11-19 01:19 PM  -  4 years ago

For once, I agree with you. But both of them have day jobs and kids and/or grandkids to see to, i.e., they're not retired. Convincing either to make a segment or two was never going to be easy; that's why I didn't ask directly.

Also, both would strongly disapprove of my playlists for the segments, so they'd have to make 'opposition segments' - segments that opposed the offensiveness in this special. There's already one of these scheduled now. It's seg. 5.

It'd still be nice if they took part in the show in some way, though.

This was a bad fall I took this time and "my brain hurts", so I'm no longer confident of a July completion. Part of the point of this project was to always have something to be working on. Podcasts & even other shows are meant to be made between the segments of a special like this. Now this includes a 4th of July show. The new plan is to complete this show by Talk Like a Pirate Day (9/19).

Update of the Update: All the Kings Horses & All The King's Men - Had Omelettes For Breakfast

Falls kill old people. And they've been working overtime to get me.

A few years ago, I cracked a rib in a fall. A few days ago, I tried to get out of the chair I had fallen asleep in too quickly (Ambien is a harsh mistress), lost my balance - by blacking out- and tripped on the carpet, falling over a chair and sustaining a back injury (even though I landed on my head/stomach?!) I also hit my head rather hard & now sport a huge & unsightly second-degree rug burn on my head.

Needless to say, this doesn't exactly aid show production. I was ordered to get rest by my doctors and was doing exactly that when all this happened. If anyone missed it, this is the opposite of rest.

If Dave is in the mood to, this would be a good time to guest host a half hour Mad Music Moment. If not, this show's next segment is going to take a while since the doctor mandated bed rest from last week is now in 'injury recovery' overtime.

“Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.”

Once again, this week's hospital visit/checkup has resulted in the same instruction. "You need bed rest. Go home. Go to bed. Stay there."

Why does someone who never does anything need rest? All I do is sit at this PC all day...and get some walking in - a mile a day...and lift some hand weights. Besides all the gardening, that's all I do. I can still shout bad language into a crappy microphone & make internet shows. "No, you can't; that doesn't count as bed rest" they tell me.

Picky bastards. Oh, well. This show will resume when the doctors are satisfied I've had enough "rest." Cthulhu knows they check up on me enough.

Stavro Arrgolus   Offline  -  Editor, MP3  -  06-02-19 09:32 AM  -  4 years ago

I finished the playlist & script of the aforementioned new podcast...and it turned out too similar to the last one - even though I'm hosting & not Tyro. I don't tolerate back to back identical shows unless it's Xmas or something, so it'll have to have its script radically altered.

All that will take too much time, so segment 3 of this show will be next, then the podcast.

It may take a while. I have a hospital visit this week (just one), the damn vines are trying to swallow my house again, the bastard bushes I didn't plant are trying to block the view from my windows (landscapers cost a fortune around here) - and I have to repair & paint the shed or I'll suddenly become "No-Sheds Stavro."

In short, I have a busy week ahead, so I'll say what I always do; this will get done when it gets done.

Now that the toilet humor is out of the way, it's time for seg. 3. I've said this segment about God is supposed to be horribly blasphemous, but looking at it as it is now, it's not all that bad. It's not even about organized religion, just God. This clearly means I need to work on it more. Expect it in the usual week or 2.

Or not. Maybe a podcast should be next. After segments about child death and big, steaming piles of number 2, this might be a good time to take a break from the vulgar and get a new podcast in.

Here are the first 2 segments - www.madmusic.com/playlist.aspx?Show=MMS-232

And try not to take my rant about...a certain place too seriously. I just want turd-free medicine (that'll make sense when you hear the segment); I'm not demanding the moon here.

Fun fact: Scripting a show isn't merely typing out the text because I can't ad lib to save my ass. It's also choosing the bgm, adding mind screws (the fun part) and sfx to make it all a bit less dull.

It takes a while to choose sfx & arrange it all just the way I want it, but you need only listen to the old shows from 2012 to see how much better it all is now.

Privyet. I just looked in on this and thought, "He's finally gone and done it."

Last Christmas, we brought Stavro here to Eisenach for a few days to give him a bit of a scenery change - the castle & town are far more picturesque than where he is, especially during the holidays. I remember him telling Tyro that he no longer had the energy to make whole 2 hour shows all at once, so he'd play what he called "the long game." ..Must be an Americanism of some kind.

He'd make many 2 hour shows one segment at a time with no plan on a completion date for any of them. While this was going on, he'd post shorter shows & podcasts while the longer shows were still being made. This would confuse the hell out of everyone, which he takes sadistic amusement in doing, it would seem. Doing this meant that something would always be in production.

He's clearly following through on this plan now, so don't hold your breath for segments. What gets posted may not even be what's scheduled. Hope he's having fun with all this for a change.

Time for another segment update.

This week, after 4 tiring days of effort, Uncle Stavro "defeated the arboreal menace", as he calls it. We call it "doing the garden" here in Britain and you Yanks call it "yard work." He has more than an acre to deal with, so it wears him out.

I had to sit and watch...because vampires + sunlight = dust. He's still tired from the effort. Though not so tired that he didn't finish the seg. 2 & 3 playlists, apparently. But too tired to script them. "Can't be exhausted & write decent scripts", he said. So he assembled playlists instead.

Even if he posts a segment every other week, the show will still be completed in July. "Quality over quantity." Though he doesn't care when he completes it since there's no rule saying he can't make a 'Xmas in July' show while this show is still going on. There's already a plan to make a podcast between segments of MMS-232, so...

Just a reminder - Seg. 2 is about "sh!t" and seg. 3 is about blasphemy "God." Uncle says this is the most offensive combination he could think of, and offensiveness is what this show's about.

Thought I'd never finish that segment. And now for segment 2.

This one's just as bad since there are so many songs about the subject. Like seg. 1, I have to choose the best songs from a huge number of tunes about that special substance. And that substance is, well...sh!t.

I don't mean the word; I mean the actual...stuff. George Carlin once said that no one ever talks about it literally; it's always figuratively. No one says, "Look at the sh!t, Martha. Little piles of..." - you get the idea. The good news is that this segment won't be nearly as vicious as seg. 1 was.

Expect it sometime around the weekend next week. If life interferes again, it'll take longer, but it'll still get made.

Here's segment 1 - www.madmusic.com/playlist.aspx?Show=MMS-232

And I'm not kidding. This show may very likely take until July to complete. There may even be a new podcast or two posted between segment releases of this show.

Hoo, boy. This morning just before 5 am, I finished formatting the script and writing its opening sequence and this is clearly going to be one of those kind of shows. The kind that make the needlessly sensitive and crazy-ass SJWs (wait - those two are the same thing, aren't they?) run screaming from the room with vomit rising in their throats. If a show is going to make sanctimonious activists toss their cookies, you know it's going to be a good one.

This is clearly another show you should wear headphones and/or chase the kids from the room with a baseball bat with nails in it to listen to - especially when the very first segment is about eviscerating kids.

I've made too many shows like this not to know that the vampires aren't going to let me get away with it. They'll break in and demand the smutty filth cease for a bit. Probably with a request segment. I don't have enough new requests to make a whole request show, but I do have enough to make a segment.

...Bugger. Another new segment. This show really is going to take until July to make, isn't it?

This may be another one of those shows that writes itself. The ultimate goal is for this show to have a minimum of 6/7 half-hour segments and even more if I think of even better topics to offend the easily offended with. Since today's culture (if you can even call it that anymore) is offended by everything, this is an easy task.

Here are some early ideas for the later segment themes:

Seg. 2: Wipe The Butt Clean With The Paper  (toilet humor)

Seg. 3: Well, That About Wraps It Up For God  (a HHGttG reference - and blasphemous as hell)

Seg. 4: I Stroke It Every Chance I Get, It's... (It's perverted & sticky; that's what it is)

Seg. 5: Right! Stop That! It's Filth! I'm not taking chances. I just know that Celestra or Count Aarhus aren't going to tolerate all the hysterically disgusting things I've stuffed this show full of. They'll show up in a whopping great puff of vampiric mist, hijack the show and play a clean segment out of sheer umbrage. I'd better write this clean request segment just in case so this segment is made on my terms.

Seg. 6: Ok, Now That's Just Sick!  (A special segment for everything too disgusting to fit into one of the other segments - it should be immediate revenge for the vampire's clean segment, assuming they show up and there is one to begin with)

Seg. 7: Death Isn't The Handicap It Used To Be  (self explanatory - also a line from Red Dwarf)

All titles are subject to change or rearrangement. I'll likely think of something even more horrifying to call them at some point in the production. Assuming I can actually manage to make 7 segments. A July completion is starting to look a bit too optimistic...

Ok, I'm back from Europe (don't tell Disney they have real castles there and they're NOT made of plastic) and I've sorted out the first segment of a 3+ hour special that's invariably going to have something to offend everyone, hence the title. Expect seg. 1 late next week, if not sooner.

Seg 1. Kiddie Kill  (aka Mommy-Not, Fetus Fail, Poppa Stopper, Womb Broom)

The title is a phrase from a favorite source - George Carlin. It's very much about what you're thinking. Lots of happy, bouncy tunes about rugrats being disemboweled by wild animals and some other non-death related cringeworthy kid-related tuneage. Fun! And there's so much of it in the archive. I could make a whole show about just this...but I won't. Not yet, anyway.

Yes, if you want your show heard, you really need something that grabs their attention right away. And if this doesn't, nothing else will. It might be a good idea not to eat a big meal before listening to this. Just a thought.

Tyro's podcast sat completed a bit too long, so he changed the playlist a bit to make it more current. It'll be recorded & posted by Monday if the mic cooperates & doesn't ruin the announces with crackling. If not, it'll take a bit longer.

Meanwhile, this show will never require updating. It's said that my shows are NSFW. I'll show you what NSFW is really about. You won't be able to run screaming from the room because your throat will already be full of vomit. "My throat's full of puke and I must scream."  That sort of thing.

Basically, this is meant to be the most disgusting/squicky/offensive show ever. By its nature, it has a built in challenge to me to make something even more horrifying in the future. It's one of those 'laugh now, feel guilty about laughing later' sort of shows.

In short, it's going to be an immense amount of fun to make.

I originally wanted to make a request show after the podcast, but I quickly realized I couldn't as all the requests on the admin menu's main request page were several years old (the requesters are long gone from the site and wouldn't hear them) and there weren't enough newer ones to fill a show. Not even a half hour show. So it'll have to wait.

This is one of those shows that writes itself, so it won't take long to make the playlist. You can request songs for it - but only if you've got a really sick mind. Only the nastiest comedy is going into this one and only the most objectionable tunes will even be considered for it.

Now here's the important part. This episode is likely to go from an hour to two...and possibly three or even four. It could easily take the remainder of spring to make it. Why? Because I'm going to take a great deal of sadistic pleasure in making it. It might even be more fun than making a Xmas show. ...Well let's not go overboard here.
