Wow!
I haven’t posted a Sack O’ Crap in months! How excited must you be?
A lot? A whole lot? Less than a whole lot, but more than somewhat?
On a scale of Kinda to Fuck Yes, would you say you’re Jacked or Tripping Balls?
While you’re working that out, here’s the latest collection of waste disguised as content. It isn’t much, but what it lacks in length, it makes up for in girth.
Happy sniffing!
Terror in the Skies
Comedian Jerry Lewis was detained by police in Las Vegas when airport screeners found a gun in his baggage, authorities said on Tuesday.
Lewis, 82, had a .22-caliber handgun when he arrived at the security screening area at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport.
The comedian was briefly detained and the gun was seized. Lewis was cited for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, Denby said.
Authorities speculate that had Lewis managed to get the gun on board, he would have forced passengers to do this.
Which is more disturbing? |

Hollywood Collectors Show
Longtime ex-listener WP wrote to me the other day, and asked why I wasn’t attending the Hollywood Collectors Show in Burbank this October. I had no good reason, with the possible exception of not having been asked.
But lo and behold, I have been asked! In fact, here’s the mention on the HWC web site:
Don’t ask me how they pick the credits to list.
I’ve been doing this shit since I was 11 years old. I’ve been in Academy Award winning films and Emmy Award winning television shows. And they went with Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman. You know, for the two Ross Bagdasarian fans who are still living.
In any event, I’ll take my rightful place among the marginally famous at the beautiful Burbank Marriott on October 4th, signing things and trying not to stare at Linda Evans.
I am obligated to charge for autographs. But I’ll be donating the proceeds to Project Angel Food, so it’s not as insulting as it sounds. I’ll also be selling some of my father’s rare memorabilia at the show, so if you have an interest in that sort of thing, bring a large pile of gold coins.
Also, if you’re a fan of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or House of Mouse (and if you are, you’re too young to be reading this), come by and meet some of the voices on the show. Besides me (Clarabelle) you’ll also get a chance to see Bill Farmer (Goofy) and Tony Anselmo (Donald Duck). You can also meet voice over legend June Foray, who I’m particularly excited to finally meet. And of course, there will be dozens of people you’ve never heard of, and with good reason.
But there’s also a good selection of people I’d kill to see up close, like Eric Roberts and Corey Haim. And the whole train wreck is only $20, which cannot be beaten with a stick.
You can see a complete list of guests on the HWC web site.

Look at this auction, will you?
I mean just look at this God damned thing. Come on!
Our beloved Gina.com has fallen on some hard times, and is selling off this incredible Playstation 2 PS2 Console mega-bundle for pennies. Pennies, I tell you!
Surely one you burnouts can donate blood or take some bottles back and make this happen. I mean a deal like this doesn’t come around every day. Given your minimum wage job and pot smoking habits, it would be years before you could buy all this shit.
Now go steal money from your mom’s purse. If you get caught, tell her Gina said it was ok.

Just did a double take…saw the header of “More German covers” and thought it said “Marc Germain covers”. That sure would’ve been something, eh?

What? Hasn’t April long since run out of Paul Winchell memorabilia? She must be rationing it out, keeping some in reserve for her twilight years. Either that or she’s manufacturing new stuff to keep up with demand.
Actually, now that I think about it…I guess April’s probably the best front for others in her family (like her mother and sister) to make memorabilia available, since she’s famous and adored the world over. When April is selling, people sit up and take notice. So she’s probably getting resupplied by the wing of the family that Paul abandoned.

The guinea pig fest started out so damned adorable and then took a sudden turn! I wonder if it tastes like chicken. Chicken with a little pig’s head.

Jerry Lewis packing? Meh. But a .22?! The .22 round is almost exclusively used for target practice and varmint huntin’. It has absolutely no stopping power, and it would be laughable if he was carrying something like that for “self defense”. I shit you not, there are police reports of .22 cal bullets bouncing off of victims who were wearing thick clothing at the time of their attack. What the hell was he planning on doing with that thing?
5 Speedy Cerviche // Sep 5, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Oh, and congrats on the new Teen Spirit cover.

The comment for the lube shooter is hilarious! I have never laughed so hard!

Out east here on Long Island, they had a sign that said :
Duck Race and Duck Barbecue
the guinea pig thing reminded me of that

You know, for as long as I’ve been reading this blog, this question never came up: You’ve done an awful lot of voice-over work for Disney; Has anyone ever asked you if you could do the voice of Tigger? Or, is that just too creepy?
9 April // Sep 5, 2008 at 6:16 pm
No one ever asked (I couldn’t, of course).
I do get asked if I can throw my voice. I can, to some extent. He showed me some tricks when I was little. But it doesn’t interest me much.
I used to be able to do as many drugs as him, but I grew out of it.

Dear April:
Do you ever notice that when you mention that you have nothing that you have a lot and that it is very funny stuff? When women see what I got, I get the opposite reaction all the time(except the laughter). Talk about a mushroom cloud going off!How well you know your fans!! Minimum wage job? How do you get one? I do have some bottles that I will exchange for money but I think I will use them to see you. Quelle surprise!!

look down in the ad for the ‘lube shooter’. Dowes anyone know the difference between an ‘anal douche’ and an ‘enema’(or a ‘turd sandwich’ for that matter? Have I been paying to much for something that wasn’t the real deal?
12 chrisbcritter // Sep 5, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Please post photos from the HCS!!! (maybe you could get June for a guest on your next podcast?)
13 Speedy Cerviche // Sep 5, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Checked out the HWC website.
Rather ‘unique’ usage of “quote” marks going ‘on’ over “there”.
14 clevelandphil // Sep 5, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Question for April: When the credits say, Crabby Teacher —April Winchell and then it says, Other Voices—-April Winchell, do you get double pay?
15 April // Sep 5, 2008 at 8:33 pm
I think it depends on the job and the contract. For most television, I think you can do up to three voices before they have to pay you more money. On the Rob Zombie movie I’m working on (Super El Beasto) , I got paid per voice.

If Jerry Lewis needs a .22 caliber handgun to raise $65 million for the MDA, then I say, “God bless you, Jerry Lewis!”
And April. Is it wrong if I go to Hollywood Collector’s Show because I’ve been dying to meet…June Foray? Sorry honey, but that gal’s a legend!
17 clevelandphil // Sep 5, 2008 at 9:46 pm
June Foray? Sorry honey, but that gal’s a legend!
I loved her on The Howard Stern Show.

Ahh I love Friday sacks. Here’s one for your next installment: http://goldenfiddle.com/node/12965 - It gave me some ideas, I won’t lie. I don’t know what I’m going to be for Halloween.
That prom dress is killer. WAS $1200.00 NOW $499.

I’m glad to hear June Foray’s sill alive.
How cool.

Why do you think I’m going?
22 yelkcub // Sep 6, 2008 at 8:55 am
I think they would have a better chance of making a sale if they referred to the used lube shooter as “vintage.”
23 BK1 // Sep 6, 2008 at 11:46 am
Wow! What a collection of people that I have never heard of. Besides our beloved April, there will be Roger Corman and PJ Soles who are from Rock and Roll High School. I was an extra for that…uh…classic. I received a cut out Shaun Cassidy (not to be confused with Sean Cassidy the gay porn star) record for my troubles. Definitely not union pay.

True story. This past weekend I called and donated $25 to the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon using my debit card. Ten minutes after I hung up, my bank’s fraud division called me to ask me about an “unusual” charge to my debit card. They then asked me if I donated $20,000 to the Muscular Dystrophy Assoc! Since I am disabled and receive disability, $20,000 is approx. two years of disability payments. Of course, I said that I didn’t. I had to close my account and cut up my debit card and open another account on Tuesday. Needless to say I won’t be donating anymore. I did get the name of the person that I first spoke to at MDA…ironically his name was “Jerry”.

I have been collecting “celebrity” (for lack of a better word) autographed photos for years. I get the majority of them at shows like this one. The ones in the Philadelphia area don’t draw nearly the caliber of celebrity that the ones in California do.
I have a few autographs from the guests at the show you are appearing at. I would go to meet June Foray, too.
My prize possession? My autographed “Suri” Winchie!

Surprised you didn’t mention you’re sharing the room with Altovise Davis.

April, was wondering…do you have any voice over work currently appearing in any of the attractions at Disneyland?
