Dear April,
I am a Voice-Over actor here in Los Angeles. I was wondering if there is any way you could help me get OUT of the business?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
AVC

Donkeys in wet t-shirts? Ewwwwwww………….

…will Jerry Lewis be there ?- this seems very “Learning Tree Annex…
…though I’d sit in April’s “Golden Circle ” ANYTIME

Make sure to tell the “Carol Channing taking her top off” story.

LMAO DavidinBerkeley! That’s a great story!

Make sure to tell the “Carol Channing taking her top off” story.
ROFL. Such a funny story. Of all the times AW has told it on the air my favorite one is when she had Roy with her for the KFI 2-year-aversary show. “Carol GESTICULATES!”

John, I think you might have just revealed Auntie Vera’s true identity…and it ain’t Coral Browne.
Bad boy.
9 Ira Shlamazel // Jul 9, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Andre- you aren’t suggesting AVC and April are one and the same, because they aren’t.
I’m pretty sure John was talking to April, not Auntie Charles.
10 Auntie Vera Charles // Jul 9, 2009 at 8:27 pm
Auntie Charles!?!? Ira, lovie, either Auntie Vera or Vera Charles…but NEVER Auntie Charles!!!
11 Ira Shlamazel // Jul 9, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Sweet Jesus on a bun! I am SO sorry!! That was a horrible mistake!
My fuck up, mea culpa!
Please forgive me, Auntie VERA Charles! I shall have myself flogged ASAP.
If you desire more punishment, just say the word.
I do have certain “tools”…

Just so long as you remember to keep it “Safe”, Ira. Or better yet, “Safer”, since it’s no sure thing. Me, I prefer full body armor. I don’t like to take chances.
13 Auntie Vera Charles // Jul 10, 2009 at 8:23 am
@Ira – Allow me a moment to consider.
14 Stretch99 // Jul 10, 2009 at 9:07 am
Gomez: Unhappy, darling?
Morticia: Oh, yes. Yes completely.
Morticia: Last night, you were unhinged. You were like some desperate howling demon. You frightened me. Do it again.
15 Stretch99 // Jul 10, 2009 at 9:14 am
Morticia: When we first met years ago, it was an evening much like this. Magic in the air. A boy.
Gomez: A girl.
Morticia: An open grave. It was my first funeral.
Gomez: You were so beautiful. Pale and mysterious. No one even looked at the corpse.
16 Ira Shlamazel // Jul 10, 2009 at 10:17 am
Auntie Vera, I now have your full name in welts on my back.
It’s rather fetching, I must say!
17 Stretch99 // Jul 10, 2009 at 10:50 am
Morticia: So… you still desire me after all these years? The old ball and chain?
Gomez: Forever!
Morticia: I’ll get them!
Forceps Nurse: Forceps.
Delivery Room Doctor: Would you like anesthesia?
Morticia: No, thank you. But do ask the children.

obviously not ‘auntie charles’.
We shouldn’t get him mixed up with america’s ‘auntie charles’
Carles nelson reilly.
Why hasn’t tv land or nick at night given us what we all want in vintage television.. that is right ‘the ghost and Mrs. Muir’. I guess it might just get in the way of ‘ just shoot me’ re-runs.
19 pal Jacky // Jul 10, 2009 at 11:41 am
They named ‘that seventies show’ after a focus group on new shows kept refering to it as ‘that seventies show’
I’ll bet my nephew’s life that they named ‘just shoot me’ the exact same reason.

CLEANING OUT THE PANTRY!!!
Looks like there might be more crap for sale.
MMMM Some Ragu from 2002 NICE!!!

When time does the puppet show start at that party over there?
22 pal Jacky // Jul 10, 2009 at 6:39 pm
I would have went but my blood sugar has been high, my doctor has told me to cut down on things like pancakes or i’m looking at the ‘big D’.
Half of me just says ‘go for it’ and enjoy a good diabetic coma Before I get diagnosed.
Dammit, I want cancer. Something that is just gonna kill me. Not years of losing eyesight and having my limbs amputated.

I rarely get mad at ‘the soup’. however, they left out the most important part of the big brother wedgie initiation.
The fact that It was hosted by julie chen, not that she doesn’t do just a bang up job. It is because it means that Les Moonves has a more ‘personal’ relationship with this garbage than any man in his position should. He can’t later claim he was taking a summer vacation on a cruise ship not knowing what was happening on CBS. Here’s the first part

25 Stretch99 // Jul 12, 2009 at 4:50 pm
diabetic ketoacidosis to be precise
…its my job to know these things
26 pal Jacky // Jul 12, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I dpn’t know, my something another is suppose to be less than 6 if normal. less than 7 if I’m diabetic and being treated. mines 8, so the doctor is checking it in 3 months to see if it is an anamoly.
27 Stretch99 // Jul 13, 2009 at 10:44 am
that would be your HbA1c or just A1c for short. 7.0% is the GOAL for people with diabetes but can require strict management to reach that level.
A c-peptide test will indicate if your pancreas is succreating any insulin – and if so, in what amount
A GAD antibody test will indicate the presence of GAD antibodies. The presence of GAD antibody indicates insulin resistance and that what insulin that is being produced is not being used efficiently
