A note to the kidnappers

Posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 by Melanie

The whole world now knows... my podcast partner, Jerry J. Davis, was kidnapped for ransom this morning. This is a recent photograph of him.



Jerry, if you're watching, we love you. And this... well, this is what waits for the people who took him. This is your ransom. Ten thousand dollars in unmarked bills, just like you wanted.



But this is as close as you'll ever get to it. You'll never see one dollar of this money, because no ransom will ever be paid for my podcasting partner. Not one dime, not one penny. Instead, I'm offering this money as a reward on your head. Dead or alive, it doesn't matter. So congratulations, you've just become a ten thousand dollar lottery ticket... except the odds are much, much better. Do you know anyone that wouldn't turn you in for ten thousand dollars? I don't think you do. I doubt it. Hell, Kathy would do it in a heartbeat.



So wherever you go and whatever you do, this money will be tracking you down for all time. And to ensure that it does, to keep interest alive, I'm taking out ad space on every major pdocast for every broadcast...for as long as it takes. But...and this is your last chance...you return Jerry alive and uninjured, I'll withdraw the bounty. With any luck you can simply disappear. Understand...you will never see this money. Not one dollar. So you still have a chance to do the right thing. If you don't, well, then, God be with you, because nobody else on this Earth will be.

...in Philly, Boston, or a barn in the middle of the cornfields of Illi-no!

Okay, so I'm no Cole Porter.

Anyway, this is it, kids! The Big One!

If anyone has a spare moment at 8:00 PM CST tonight, send a positive thought my way! We had a very good final dress last night - my co-star was on fire! Now I have to try to match him!

Princesses, Godmothers and Telethons -- Oh My!

Posted on Tuesday, September 02, 2008 by Stacy

I'd like to give a big shout out to British John for the wonderful compliments he gave us on the last podcast...and to let him know that his check is in the mail!!

I'd like to thank DQ Rick for explaining to me the difference between a Fairy Princess and a Fairy Godmother. I'm certain I will be making many faux pas ( I don't think I spelled that right) early and often so please feel free to keep letting me know, OK?


Also...I wanted to let you know that I got Fairy Princess Holly a tiara made out of the FINEST paste and tinfoil I could find. Unfortunately I couldn't get her the real platinum and sapphires because the DQYDJ management pays me in vitamin gumballs and spare change.

It's going to take me a long time to save up for that Hazmat suit to clean Pat's apartment.

For Melanie.

Cause *I'm* not gonna do it.

Anyway, I'd lastly like to thank Patrick for his wonderful rendition of "Let's do it" during our telethon! You were in fine voice as usual, Pat!

Next week he'll take on the Beatles classic, "Let's Do It In The Road."
