The Greatest TV Theme Song Never?

Some progress to report on the Channel 102 show that my colleagues and I are working on. We've decided on a story of a man and a talking dildo who is sort of a spiritual guide, if you will. Titled "The Dapper Dildo,' we start production next week if not sooner. And I've finished the theme song.

The lyrics go something like this:

I've got a special little friend
He may be made of foam and silicone,
but he sure has made it a happy home

I've got a special little friend
He may look odd but, oh my God
We remain friends until the very end

I've got a special little friend,,,,,


Simple, huh? Wait'll you hear it! Take that, Rembrandts!

Now Is The Time...

That's right, children. Now is the time for you to vote for your favorite filmfights.com film. Naturally, we wouldn't attempt to persuade you to vote for the film branded "Baked Ziti." That would be dishonest. We only want you to pick the best film of the bunch, which is obviously ours (the one branded "Baked Ziti"). So vote Baked Ziti, America! And don't be afraid!

We love you!!!!

The Baked Ziti Radio Hour: Episodes 30 & 31

In honor of Jack Phillip's recent birthday, we have recorded two new Baked Ziti Radio Hour episodes where we talk exclusively about Jack's favorite things: our personal blogs, our yet-to-be-seen Channel 102 show, and Paul McCartney. It's a laugh-a-minute riot for that one-of-a-kind can't-be-dissuaded radio listener who just can't get enough hyphens in their diet.

We're Back, And We've Made A Film!

That's right, we've branched out even further, spreading ourselves so thin artistically, it's scary! This is the first short film produced by the Baked Ziti core group (in this case: Jack Phillips, Kate Mortell and me). Entitled "The Cradle," it was made to order for filmfights.com. They came up with the title and the genre (suspense; we hope at least).

Download the film here, or just click on the above image.

I will be posting a reminder to vote for this particular film on filmfights.com once it is posted in June 2nd. Until then, enjoy.

Cup O' Neuticles

Proof positive that there is something out there for everyone. During a Sunday outing, it had been brought to my attention that there are such things as "Neuticles." What are Neuticles, you may very well ask? OK, say you're having your dog spayed or neutered. As the theory goes, the female isn't visibly changed much. Ahh, but what of the male? The male dog instinctively feels something's missing right? Now, through the miracle of modern science, this problem can be rectified by applying artificial, realistic-looking implants known as Neuticles.

Neuticles.com is a brilliant site that answers all possible questions concerning these implants. Their site claims:

Over 100,000 caring pet owners Worldwide have selected Neuticles as a safe, practical and inexpensive option when neutering.

Neuticles allowing your pet to retain his natural look, self esteem and aids in the trauma associated with neutering.

I have to be honest. I am a dog owner (though admittedly, she is a female) and even I think this is a little nutty. But the site has a bevy of testimonials from deliriously satisfied customers:

"I've put off neutering "Crooked Joe" for months and when I found out about Neuticles and spoke to them it made me feel better about neutering. Joe not only looks the same now- but dosen't[sic] know he's missing anything."

"He's a guy and I wanted him to remain looking like one."

"Baby Snow has all the benefits of being neutered-Neuticles are just a whole lot nicer."
Stephen Samual
Redcliff, KY

"Neuticles were the absolute least I could do."
Glenda Nelson

Yes, I suppose it is the absolute least we can do.

The Baked Ziti Radio Hour: Ep. 29, Sort Of....

Okay, due to a plethora of technical snafus, we've been forced to short change our public. Episode 29, or the remnants of it (we didn't even bother to include our theme music this time around), is a paltry 20+ minutes. So, in essence, there is no real episode 29 to speak of. However, to compensate for this, we've videotaped a formal apology.

Down "Episode 29" here.
