  1. WDED interrupts your regular programming during this commercial-free Halloween season marathon to present, by popular request, the stunning and thought-provoking classic tale by the good Doctor himself and his considerations about how he wants to die...

    That's DIE, as in DEATH, DIE, CHECK OUT, MORTE, SNUFF IT....

    ...ahem...sorry...we here at WDED get excited about Death this time of year...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    COMMERCIAL-FREE UNTIL NOVEMBER 1st!!!

    And now, without further interruption...

    Dr. Seuss Considers His Death

    Everyone dies, so they say, without fail

    I just cannot wait to go beyond that vale

    My eyes will not see and my nose will not sniff

    When my poor old body is all cold and stiff

    By jumping off mountains or laying on track

    Overdosing on some Heroin or some Crack

    Insulting a guy far, far bigger than me

    Carry lead weights in my pockets at sea

    Take some prescriptions with gallons of booze

    That’ll make sure I don’t wake from my snooze

    Touch some high voltage – 440 or so -

    That’ll give me that oh-so-healthy glow

    Driving my car in the wrong lane at night

    Enter a biker bar and start a fight

    Hurl racial slurs in the ghetto by day

    Borrow from shylocks, then refuse to pay

    Ignoring the warning signs of a weak heart

    “Horrible chest pains? I just need to fart!”

    Dance in the midst of the Daytona race

    Put arsenic make-up all over my face

    Fall on my sword, hang myself from a beam,

    Should I go out with a whimper or scream?

    Listen to music so loud my ears burst

    Choke on a huge piece of warm liverwurst

    Fall down the shaft of an old elevator

    Offer my throat to a wild alligator

    Get shot by bullets, whether small or large

    Tie myself up to the front of a barge

    Jump off a bridge into waters so deep

    Stand in the road and get hit by a Jeep

    Fall from the Empire State Building’s top

    Pull a toy gun on a frustrated cop

    Don’t forget illness – I hope I get sick

    A nice dose of bubonic plague is the trick

    Or maybe something that would remove my smile

    Like fever I get from the African Nile

    Eat some old blowfish not cooked the right way

    Lie under elephants as they do sway

    Smack a big Rottie smack dab in his face

    Time to check out from this poor human race

    Now I lay down as the sun mounts the sky

    Time to retire, get off-stage and die

    No one will miss me, I’m quite sure of that

    Hey! Maybe I’ll go like that Cat in the Hat!

  2. WDED - commercial-free through the Halloween season!

    *in Casey Kasem voice* This is a request that goes out to "Snuggles" in Kiss-and-Tell, Idaho, whose boyfriend had just left her last week after discovering she was in love with a Furby. Snuggles, keep on fighting the good fight and happiness will soon be at your side.

    But until then, have a listen to Universal Lite Beer Factory and their mega-huge-jumbo smash hit-a-roonee of 1934...

    Hotel ULC

    (sung to the tune of Hotel California - all apologies to The Eagles)

    On the Internet Highway, salt breeze found my hair

    Bad smell of religion, rising up through the air

    Up ahead in the distance, I saw a ULC site

    My fingers itched to write some funny stuff

    Instead of sleeping at night

    Murphy stood in the doorway;

    As stories Wilbur tells;

    And Dorian's thinking to himself,

    "My head is whirling and this could be Hell"

    Then Claire lit a candle and she showed me the way

    There were voices in the Admin room,

    I thought I heard them say...

    "Welcome to the Hotel ULC

    Such a loony place

    Such a funny place

    Plenty of room at the Hotel ULC

    Any time of year, you can find us here"

    Meredog's definitely twisted, at least the mail that he sends

    Elphaba's got some pretty toys, that she calls "friends"

    How they dance in the Forum, some perspire, some sweat

    Some dance without partners, some are just there to fret

    So I came to the Forum

    And I started my whine

    I said, "I haven't seen such weirdness here...since I met Divine!"

    And still those flame wars are calling from far away

    Writing parodies all through the night

    That's when I hear them say...

    "Welcome to the Hotel ULC

    Such a loony place

    Such a funny place

    We're livin' it up at the Hotel ULC

    Look up to the skies - bring your alibis

    Ed Crain's on the ceiling

    And Theresa could melt ice

    And I said, "This is all just fantasy here, but the words sure sound nice"

    And in the Off Topic Area

    They gathered for the feast

    They stroke it with their steely words

    And it rises just like yeast

    Last thing I remember, I was

    Typing on the floor

    I had to find the hot-link back

    To the thread I was before

    "Relax", said the Admin

    "There's no Communion to receive,

    You can logout any time you like,

    But you can never leave!"

  3. And now WDED presents a sad, yet curiously satisfying tale of a how long-haired, motorcycle-riding hippy freak meets his end on a lonely highway...

    Happy Halloween Season, from all of us here at WDED! Remember - the commercial-free pumpkins are the reason for the season!

    Release of the Renegade

    Renegade on the two-lane road, his hair loose in the wind

    Had left the small town late last night, right after he had sinned

    The moon above so full and blue, his leathers soft and warm

    He headed out of Hell that day into the welcome storm

    The storm he rode to had no rain, nor wind nor driving sleet

    It was a storm he’d weather soon, and in the end defeat

    For while the skies above him now were clear and full of stars

    He knew that soon that harvest moon would shine upon fresh scars

    He’d had his fill of pleasures ill, of drunken gropes and bar fights

    He’d seen the country on two wheels, by sunshine and neon lights

    For while he’d known many a girl and fought many a man

    He’d also known his time had flown, solely through his own hand

    So as he roared on down the lanes his mind was free and clear

    He’d known the pain of loneliness, the ecstasy of fear

    He’d shared embraces on the beach, got stoned and fought his fight

    He knew that what he witnessed now would be his last full night

    So living in the moment, as his kind is wont to do,

    He searched for his immortal soul, a path that would prove true

    But emptiness confronted him at each and every turn

    That’s when he knew his life was run, his soul would ever burn

    Whatever he did now would prove to be his final act

    He’d gone beyond hypothesis; he dealt now just in fact

    He saw no future down that strip of coiling quick-patched tar

    And as he looked within himself, he missed that wayward car

    Somewhere out in the desert where coyotes howl and play

    There drifts a soul so marred and old, but happy, in its way

    Release was won that fateful night through grace of Heaven’s hand

    His spirit soared above the moon while flesh lay in the sand

  4. WDED digs deeeeeep into our classics vault and pulls out this vintage Fubert and the Man-Apes single about a man who is seriously depressed at Halloween, that most wondrous time of year, and how the solution to his problem suddenly appears...

    ...but not in the way he might have expected...bwahahahahahahahahahaha!

    Commercial-free until November 1st! Turn on, tune in and zone out!

    WDED - we're DED!

    Return of the Baboon

    All lonely was I in my cramped little room

    Hearing voices of pain, depression, and gloom

    A knock on the door seemed to spell out my doom

    That’s when I witnessed the return of the baboon

    He entered my cell with a bounce and a grin

    I hollered, “Who the hell let YOU in?!?”

    Ignoring my question, he bounced off the bed

    And put three bananas on top of my head

    He then did a gainer onto my wood floor

    He made a weird sound – partly scream, partly snore

    Then he climbed up the curtains and tumbled with glee

    And ended up directly in front of me

    I knew this baboon from my past glory times

    He helped when I got stuck creating my rhymes

    A practical joker, the life of the room

    That’s what I now faced in this silly baboon

    He pulled a small tic from his yellow-brown fur

    Then begged for some food like a starving old cur

    He told me some jokes and did some pantomime

    No one could accuse him of being sublime

    He put his back legs into my pair of boots

    Then ate some bananas and let out some toots

    Just when I had thought he was acting too nice

    He went and drank my last bottle of Old Spice

    He burped and he laughed and he twirled in the air

    (That’s just like a baboon – he hasn’t a care)

    He showed me some pictures – what bad baboon smut! –

    Then circled behind me and chomped on my butt

    I finally got him to stop running ‘round

    And trapped that baboon with my arms on the ground

    At first he just struggled and flailed and hissed

    Then he puffed out his lips and he gave me a kiss

    Oh, somewhere a kitty is sleeping all sound

    And somewhere a puppy is saved from the pound

    They give their folks happiness, love, and friendship

    But me? I have baboon spit on my top lip!

  5. Commercial-free until Halloween! No commercials at all! None! Nothing that would make you run away screaming in horror...

    ...well...not from the commercials, anyway...

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Here's Phillipus and the Yard-Arms with their mega-Platinum hit about the man with no tongue...

    _______________________________________________________________________________

    The Silent Sentinel

    He stood on the

    Aged oaken deck,

    Seagulls his only company

    For what had been taken,

    At such a great cost,

    Was ne’er given over for free

    He’d fought and he’d sang

    As he traveled the world,

    Brought children into this bleak sphere

    But after a while

    He had lost his great smile

    To a circumstance verily queer

    He’d never refrained

    From speaking his mind,

    A bon mot, or witty reply

    So what had occurred had

    Surpassed his best word

    As if he had been fixin’ to die

    His tongue had been silenced

    By ruffians many,

    His syllables cut off at birth

    The silence was thun’drous,

    Though his mind were won’drous,

    His words were indeed at a dearth

    His words, once so free,

    Had gained shackles at sea,

    All due to that horrible night

    And tho’ some may say

    That it’s better that way,

    It still is a wrong, not a right

    So now he stays dumb,

    Waiting for what will come,

    As the world goes about its foul ways

    His life is a shell,

    A sure-thing living Hell,

    As he sits and waits for his last days

  6. Continuing with all the greatest hits, all the time, here's Count Von SeeFoo and the Horrorettes with...

    A REAL Bedtime Story

    Care Bears cavorting neath' bright morning sun

    Kitties and puppies all having their fun

    Flowers do sway to the music so nice

    Courtesy of the twelve fiddling mice

    Curtsy and bow as the dancers all do

    Trip the fantastic - a new waltz or two

    Rainbows appear in the cloudless blue sky

    Lions and lambs all together do lie

    "Thank you" and "Please" are the words of the day

    No one need tussle to get their own way

    Lollipops grow on the branches of trees

    When the snow falls, we seem never to freeze

    Every day's bright with its magical fill

    Everyone's healthy, no one can get ill

    Women are gorgeous, the men are all sleek

    Seven days loafing makes up our work week

    (*looks around...*)

    ...I think the youngsters have been lulled to sleep...

    Suddenly Hell came to rule once again

    Bringing back sorrow and worry and pain

    Eating the puppies and slaying the cats

    Throwing Care Bears into bubbling vats

    Stomping on flowers and poisoning mice

    Using the bones of the dancers as dice

    Polluting the rainbow and darkening sky

    Slaying the lions and lambs as they lie

    "No, Master, NO!!!" are the words that we love

    There'll be no salvation from Heaven above

    Lollipops sodden with toxic decays

    Snowflakes are plague-filled, just like the old days!

    Eternal darkness is what we do see

    I can't save you and you cannot save me

    Women are demons, the men are much worse

    Our work week is endless, our Satanic curse

    (*Oops - the kids are waking up...*)

    And so did the children live out their glad days

    Exploring the world and its wondrous ways

    It's lunch time, I think - have a hot dog or two

    You really love me, and I truly love you!

    Good night, boys and girls...

    ...wherever you are...
