MoxVox today at 4 PM Pacific, 7 PM Eastern

a few items
I have finally recovered from from my hysterical laughter over Winkle Paw.
Much of my traffic today has come from people on google searching for him. In Winkle's honor, I am going to make a large donation to a Republican candidate.
Doubt that Mr. Hsu will reimburse me. But whatever. It was a damn good laugh. Doesn't he have any friends? "Dude, the Winkle thing was cute when you were two -- but it's time to change that to something that doesn't make people pee their pants with laughter."
Also, my show is tomorrow, 4 PM Pacific, 7 PM Eastern on NowLive.com.
Watch us in the studio, chat and call in. Oh, you have to sign up first, then add me as a friend.
If there is anything you'd like to see discussed, let me know. I will not publish topic suggestions but other comments will be published.
See you tomorrow!

get your paws off me
Instead, talk to the paw.
I can't stop thinking about Winkle Paw. How much would a parent have to hate their child to name them that? A whole freakin' lot, says me. I bet Ma Paw still remembers when her son was nothing but a winkle in Pa Paw's eye.
Was just chatting with a friend and we agreed it would make a fantastic band name. If anyone used to listen to "industrial music" you might remember Skinny Puppy.
Winkle Paw can open for them. If they are still around. But Winkle Paw will eventually dominate the industrial music scene, much as he does with Hillary Clinton's campaign bank account.
Please everyone, don't gawk at the winkled paw. We are all human.
MORE: Someone just pointed out that if Skinny Puppy and Winkle Paw merge, the band could be called Skinny Winkle. Yes, I'm immature. Get over it.
Update: I am fearful, it seems the long arm of the paw has found me.
BREAKING: there is a winkled paw in Hillary Clinton's pocket. And it's not Bill's.
Still more: Manuscript of Beatrix Potter's is found. The Tall Tail of Winkle Paw.
For real: Allow me to introduce "Dimple Paw". I am more and more convinced that these are not humans but family pets who have extra mad money to give to Democrats.

Mom, Dad meet my boyfriend, Winkle Paw
I'm peeing my pants over one of Hillary Clinton's donors, Mr. Winkle Paw. As always truth is stranger (and funnier) than fiction.
Is that the family cat, perchance? That would make sense since most cats are socialists.

In honor of Senator Craig
and his wide stance. Please do NOT tap your toes whilst listening. All he really wanted was a nut valet:

social stuff
Seriously, I will eventually add these links to my sidebar. But I'm feeling lazy and I had to rebuild my whole site twice today, for two different reasons.
MySpace, gotta design the page, eventually. But add me as a friend anyway.
And the often forgotten Facebook. Add away!
The best for last. NowLive. Go join.

three cheers for celibacy
Lots of people don't understand why I live a celibate lifestyle. And I don't understand why women spread their legs on a daily basis for men they know nothing about.
Nor do I understand why men take risks with STDs for a night of fun with that chick from high school they always wanted to bang, or that stranger at the bar who says she's an actress and those lesions on her groin are nothing more than ingrown hairs that got infected. No really! Condoms are lovely for preventing abortions, but they don't protect you from everything, people.
Is sex fun? That's what I hear. But here's why celibacy works; not only do you wake up free of fear (finding incurable trouser rash can ruin your life), but you also weed out all the douchebags in the process.
The company manners wear off, and you see what you are really dealing with, and typically, it is far less attractive than the guy's mug would indicate.
I'm thinking this will be a great topic on Thursday's MoxVox show on NowLive.com. As always, go sign up so you can chat with us during the show. And add me as a friend.

nerdy question
Do any of you know of a site that allows you to bookmark URLs easily and privately, so say -- I am in the studio on their computer and I can just log in remotely, copy the URLs and paste them into chat so you all know what I'm talking about during my show?
Thanks to everyone who listened to the show yesterday. Seems we can all mock the Freegans. The archive version has some major sound issues (the first few minutes), but I don't think that was the case during the live show. Someone would have mentioned that instead of hobbits.
And whoever said in the chat -- that I look pretty in green -- you made me blush. Just for the record.

While I'm working...
on tomorrow's MoxVox show, is there anything you guys would like to see discussed?
The show formula is 1/3 personal, 1/3 political and 1/3 pop culture.
If you haven't already -- go over to NowLive.com and sign up for a free account so you can chat with us during the show. And add me as a friend.
Back soon.

sad days
It's been a sad few days. I went on vacation for a short while, out to Palm Springs where 108 F in dry heat feels like a full body massage. But I couldn't enjoy it because Bentley was sick. And I prepaid, so no backing out.
God has given me a very limited number of true friends, but many, many sociopathic so-called pals.
So I asked all three true friends to help with the situation and I tried unsuccessfully not to worry about the kitty who has been my buddy since college.
Before I got back I heard from two of them that Bentley wasn't sick anymore! That he looked great! Huh?
Obviously, I was skeptical and expected to find Bentley wrapped in a trash bag on the back doorstep with a stalker's manhood in his throat. That or a few Halliburton stock certificates crammed in his maw. When we run out of cat food, that is the next best thing.
But no, when I got back to my lovely home, the B man greeted me at the door. And I have never been so happy to see him. Bentley really did look great. Maybe he needed a break from me as much as I needed a break from him.
So all it takes to get a sick 14 year old cat well again is to leave town. Just so you know, folks. And thank you for reading Moxie even though it makes me uncomfortable.
Thursday, Tony and I drove out to the NowLive studio for a show. I walked him through what I wanted to talk about and how I would transition from each topic.
First off, I was hung over because my Mother gave me a brutal beating about being 35 and unmarried. Wine was the only option. Apparently, the only purpose of having a kid, is that said kid eventually squeezes out grandkids, like toys on an assembly line in China. But more expensive and demanding. And hopefully with less lead.
Most parents dread spending money on some ridiculous, lavish wedding that will be concluded with an ugly divorce. But not mine.
I think they'd even look forward to the divorce and custody battle over the grandkids I provided in the meanwhile. Tony stole my own transition, so I never got to say that I want a guy who is not scared off by my mother, for cripes' sake!
I waver over whether to scream and protest when my guests ignore me, or try to move things along when I'm not ready vs. not making a fuss and keeping things smooth.
So yeah, I was under the weather but that didn't stop me from talking about my love of dick.
We were talking Big Brother 8 and "evel dick", and later Dick Cheney.
And also sad is the belated cancellation of the Half Hour News Hour.
Though Joel Surnow's soul patch had no official comment, on the show we discussed the Half Hour Abortion Hour and his humor conservation crew. Oh and the many funny conservatives in Hollywood (oddly not involved in that show) were also named.
No one knew who Mary Lynn Rajskub was... she's fucking great. Glad to have her on the team.
This and much more is available if you go check out my page on NowLive. So do it, assholes.

Moxvox Thursday. New time. New Place.
Really new place. We will be broadcasting out of the NowLive studio. Go now and sign up for a free account so you can chat with us during the show. Don't forget to add me as a friend while you are at it!
This means not only can you call in, chat with other people while listening, but you can also watch Tony Pierce and I in the studio via the webcam! Sweet.
My friend Steve H. will join us via Skype from Miami.
The show will be sightly less political this time around, but still lots of fun. So come back to this blog post at 4PM Pacific, 7PM Eastern and the little widget in the right hand sidebar will turn into an audio player, telling you we are on the air, so you can listen in.

Things that Rock
NowLive.com. And the folks who work there.
I have an assignment for all of you. Go sign up for an account, so next week (Thursday, 4PM Pacific) you can chat, watch Tony and I in the studio via the web cam, and upload files, embed YouTube videos and just get with the program in general.
Tony has a post up about our Thursday, and I thought the eating McDonald's with a supermodel (and hilarious, smart, fearless woman) was "off the record". But I guess not!
Also, many thanks to my dear friend Steve H., his phone got wonky and I couldn't hear him towards the end.
Can't wait for next week! Mark it on your calendars, Thursday at 4 PM Pacific/ 7PM Eastern.

I like pie
Click here and scroll to the bottom. Someone made me very happy tonight by providing the graphic I so craved! Old skool Huffington's Toast. I look back at those days fondly.

if you hated my last post...
...you shouldn't be reading and watching this one.
It's funny, I saw the latest Flight of the Conchords last night and for some reason noticed the credits. Normally I tune that shit out.
So I see the name Arj Barker. That's not a name you forget. Arj is someone I knew from San Francisco when I was doing stand up comedy.
I didn't recognize him on the show, because back in the day he was Nicole Ritchie skinny and I thought he was autistic (best case) or retarded (worst case). Good to see that he persevered and got somewhere with his comedy. He was very funny. Almost as funny (looking) as me.
Here's the French Song that j'aime beaucoup:

More Flight of the Conchords
I told you losers to watch it on HBO, and still...I am forced to post youtube clips.
Here is Leggy Blonde:
Jemaine starts rapping towards the end. It makes me weak in the knees. Though unlike the last clip I posted, his rhymes were not so potent as to make all of the ladies in the area pregnant.
Rumor has it (via SondraK) they are working on a long (and pendulous) overdue new song, burnt clawfinger brunette. Stay tuned.
PS: The "I like pie" line makes me laugh. It reminds me of this post from Huffington's Toast. Wish the image was still available. I'll ask the powers that be. The art of HT should never have been taken down.
AHhhhhhhh. Here is the famous Glenn Reynolds/ Ann Althouse, I like PIE photo! I can rest now. All is right with the world.
