Me: What?

Ducky: Thanks.

Me: For what?

Ducky: All the things.

Me: Like?

Ducky: Feeding. Petting. Water. The yard. The lady. The mama.

Me: Okay.

Ducky: Tuggers. I like tuggers. Thanks for those. And fuzzies. And treats.

Me: You’re welcome.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Walks. Thanks for the walks. And for forgiving me when I go on my own walks.

Me: …

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: And baths. I don’t like baths, but they’re good for me. Not all dogs get baths.

Me: …

Ducky: …

Me: There was an ASPCA commercial on TV, wasn’t there?

Ducky: They tricked me. I know to leave the room when that “Arms of the Angels” song starts.

Me: Ah. They do have a new song now, yes. Joe Cocker’s “You Are So Beautiful.”

Ducky: And the first dog looked like Foley.

Me: Yeah.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Not all dogs are as lucky as me. And I don’t say “Thank you” enough.

Me: Not all people are as lucky as me. No thanks needed. I wish all those doggies had homes.

Ducky: Me too.

Me: Best doggies in the world come from shelters.

Ducky: Like me!

Me: Yup. And like Foley.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Thanks, Daddy. For everything.

Me: Thanks, Ducky. For everything.

Ducky:  I love you, Daddy.

Me: Love you more, Ducky.

Hey, kids! It’s me!

I was allowed to be a special guest on the “Parental Advisory” Podcast at HorrorPalace.com and was able to discuss perhaps the greatest motion picture comedy of all time, “Young Frankenstein” and “Transylvania 6-5000” which is NOT the second greatest motion picture comedy of all time.

Download

iTunes

The podcast focuses on horror movies and their appropriateness for children. I of course have no children and generally avoid horror films so, ‘natch they called me!

I am a film buff though, and a bit of a comedy know-it-all, so why not!?

The broadcast is almost two hours (!) so like I told your mom, don’t try to swallow it all at once. The first twenty one minutes is a lot of me talking about tumblr and life and college and Béla Fleck. For those who want to get to know me better, you might enjoy it. Then we get to the films:

• 21:00-01:15:00 Young Frankenstein
• 01:15:00-01:49:00 Transylvania 6-5000

Feel free to leave a comment on their board so I can get invited back! :-)

Larry King’s 1993 Christmas Eve Interview with guests Miss Piggy & Kermit the Frog:

“Lawrence, why are you so concerned with what kind of species we are? What does that matter if we have each others’ hearts?…Why does the appearance of our future children matter if they are loved?” -Miss Piggy

I love from 10:45 on. Both for comedy and for the poignancy related to today’s sensibilities.

Me: You look pensive.

Ducky: …

Me: It means…

Ducky: I know what it means. Pensive doggies don’t always respond quickly.

Me: Because they’re being pensive?

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Yes.

Me: What are you thinking about?

Ducky: Phenobarbital.

Me: …

Ducky: It’s the drug that…

Me: I know what it is. It’s the drug you take. It keeps you from having seizures.

Ducky: I thought so. But I heard that it is also how they put sick doggies down.

Me: Yeah. It’s that too.

Ducky: So how does it know to stop the seizures but not kill me?

Me: Doctor Robinson knows how much you need to keep you healthy. And I only give you that much.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: I’m glad the two of you are doing that. 

Me: Our pleasure.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Funny how something that can kill you can make actually make you healthier if you know how to deal with it.

Me: …

Ducky: And if you have folks looking out for you.

Me: …

Ducky: You’ve seemed pensive lately, Daddy.

Me: …

Ducky: …

Me: Yeah. There’s a lot going on.

Ducky: Good stuff or bad stuff?

Me: …

Ducky: …

Me: Depends on how I deal with it, Duck.

Ducky: Good thing you have folks looking out for you too, huh?

Me: Yes it is, Duck. Yes it is.

Ducky: Happy Daddies Day, Daddy. Thank for looking out for me.

Me: Thanks for looking out for me, Ducky. Love you.

Ducky: Love you too, Daddy.

I haven’t posted much about my divorce in recent months. But something is about to happen that I think I should share with those who have been following along for whatever reasons. It will probably spawn a few posts over the next year.
