Davecast #10: How you can become a Superhero…

Wowzer! It has been 5 months, and the Davecast is still going strong. I am as shocked as the rest you faithful interwebbers.

What does it take to become a Superhero? The most common answer is exposure to radioactive materials. Well that is plain wrong. The correct answer, as with much of life’s problems, is drugs.

Christopher Reeve is dead. Has been for 5 years now. Oh yeah, this is his death anniversary (deathiversary?). I’m better than Superman because I’m alive and still have my powers and they aren’t lame like his “breath through a tube” or “talk real slow” abilities. Well anyhoo, let’s jump right to it. Enjoy…

Davecast #8: How to Cure Everything from AIDS to Zebras!

davecast8fataldisease

Here at the Davecast we love what we do. Whether it be fixing electronics or urban survival. Now we all have fun and josh-around, but serious issues grab our attention from time to time. This is one of those times. AIDS. We can cure it. Don’t tell the “Man” or we might get sent to Guantanamo.

As kookie as we might be, we are serious about our craft. Dead serious. That’s why we at Davecast and DAPS are here to share in family secrets. Help us help you. Take us to your family and introduce us. We’re harmless, scout’s honor. We have more magical healing powers than Jesus and David Copperfield put together. It’s just too bad about Patrick Swayze, we didn’t make it in time. For that we are deep and solemn. So we are going to try and make it up to you by giving you the secrets of cheating death. Also, I think Kanye West is a racist and needs to be helped. But we will save that for another Davecast. Thank you all.

Davecast: Living to Win: A Guide to How Winning is Done….

“That’s how winning is done!”- Rocky Balboa…. No truer words have ever been uttered nor have had a more profound effect on me. Sylvester Stallone is a great man, not just because he does steroids, but because he knows what it takes to make winning a part of his everyday life. How do you live to win? I get these questions a lot. Now there isn’t any rule book or concrete formula, it is rather a state of mind in which you live life the way you want to live it, basically.

If you’re upset that you don’t know how to live to win, then you are a lost cause and should probably go join a bowling league or act in productions of Oklahoma (Oak-la-homo) because you in fact, suck. I mean come on man, it’s not that hard to win. Look at it this way, it’s the opposite of fail. There, does that help? No? Well I have nothing more to say to you then.

Paul Stanley did the right thing by making the song “Live to Win” (Featured on South Park)… An epic win in life lessons and awesomeness… GTFO

Davecast: Dreaming dreams and forgetting Dreamcast…

Today we will delve into the realm of dreamland. No, not where that cute little eating machine Kirby is from, but rather or sleepy time T.V. I tend to have over the top dreams where anything goes. I really mean anything. I probably should see someone that has a nice comfy couch. Apparently there are books that tell you what they mean, and I’m going to find out. Have you ever watched a horned beetle fight a poisonous millipede to the death? The answer for me is yes, but that was only the beginning…..

Pipe City: Sarah Silverman

As another Thursday comes around, so do erections. Welcome to yet again another wonderfully, funderfully mad edition of Pipe City. Mozeltoff!

Our girl today is the talented and brilliant comedian, Sarah Silverman. She’s the complete package when it comes to women. Smart, funny, and sexy are but just a few attributes to give you a hint.

I got my first glimpse of her beauty about 12 years ago on a little HBO show called Mr. Show. (BTW: The most hilarious and underrated show ever created). Seeing her play a prostitute not only made me extremely “happy”,  it also made me laugh, and that’s a hard thing to do because the majority of females lack the humor chromosome.

I would very like to marry her, but other than the fact that I’m a nobody and she’s rich and famous, I really don’t think I could put up with her mental abuse. I’d be like, “So what if you’re smarter and funnier and more sexy and accomplished than I’ll ever be!!!!”, then promptly walk out and weep my way into oncoming traffic. Life was so sweet……

If she doesn’t believe in Jesus, then there is no reason I should either….

This week’s Davecast is delivered despite Poppa Checks having gone missing for almost a full week. He is undoubtedly wearing a straitjacket where ever he is, and that also happens to be the main theme of this episode.

PMS of the Month: Car Accidents (and the people who love them)

Now you’re probably wondering what the PMS of the Month is all about. Well, basically it’s a chance for DAPS to be unethical, illogical, ridiculous and generally just crazy, without being held accountable.

Like all women during their “special time”, DAPS will tell you about shit that you don’t care about and you have to sit there and listen to it because we always complain that you’re not sensitive enough to our needs and don’t tell us how beautiful we are, and expect us to pick up after you.

I bet you’re saying to yourself, “But how is that different from everything else on your site?”, and the answer to that question my friend is because we said so. So listen up gumshoes and you might just learn something! (but probably not.)

Hey kiddos, it’s your friendly, neighborhood rigmarole talker, Poppa Checks.

car-accident

You know what pisses me off? car accidents.

Well let’s get it straight, it’s not the car accidents, per say, it’s what follows…you know, the fucking morons that have to stare like they are writing for the Gazette or Newport News.  I got some news for you pal, I don’t care that your family member is dead. There is nothing you can do for them. You might as well stay out of the way and let the cops and firemen get your deformed and mutilated family member’s body out of the horrendous car wreck so that working people like me can get home so I can go to work in the morning, or get out of the way of people who spent the night drinking so they can get home safely without your dumb ass stopping on a mother fucking highway.  The only reason to stop or slow down on a highway is if there is a limb or better yet a head. That is when you can slow down and stare.

What about the people that cut over 3 lanes to be closer to the accident so they can try and video record it on their cell phones. Holy Leaping Grandmas! With you treating the morning commute like the  Nürburgring, you end up increasing exponentially the risk of killing a family of 4 and making me have to settle for the pumpernickel bagels, because all of the good bagels were taken by the people who got to work on time for the Boss’ Bagel Wednesday.

I really hate pumpernickel. I’d rather have the salt bagels. And I really hate salt in general. Thankfully for some odd, but welcomed reason, the classical music station on the radio sort of calms me. During this time I wonder, ‘if I had super powers, what powers would I want?’ or ‘would I be a hero or a villain?’ I would have to say that I would be a “good guy” but would not hesitate to throw cars into the ocean because they have slightly disturbed my travel time and tried to murder me. I’ll never get that time back. Now get away from me, I want to eat this hot fudge sundae without you constantly judging me.

Gimme feedback, friends. Ladies, I’m sort of sorry?

Who Remembers: When Snoopy Made Diabetes Cool?

I’m sorry it had to come to this….

I hope that video sent child-like chills up and down your spine, like the time that your uncle told you to grab hold of his personal paddle while rafting down the Delaware water gap. Then again, I am not a psychiatrist.

Growing up with an older brother definitely had its perks. Since he was older he was able to “share”, with a a little help from my parents, all his older toys such as this wonderful snow-cone maker with my favorite dog.

41iosxu8wil_sl500_aa280_

Since then, I don’t know why I always get migraine’s during the winter. Not only did  my brother get punished for not letting me have my fair share of his toys, but it also gave me even more alone time with them….and diabetes now….

Right this very second I just found out that you can still buy this wonderfully, fun-derfully delish and fun toy at Amazon.com

Ya know what else I remember, when Snoopy used to come out at Shea Stadium during Mets games. Then after I saw Snoopy I promptly went to sleep because the Mets were terrible…even more so than now.

Oh and If anyone sees Snoopy, tell him behind the box, midnight. Ten thousand cola-nuts wrapped in brown paper…..I’ll be the Hyena….You’ll see…

Davecast: How to be safe in everyday life and still enjoy doing those things you do….

Life happens. No one should let a a serious thing like violence get in the way. The ancient Mayans knew this all too well. They made violence and death a part of their regular daily activities. After playing a game of ball, the winners would be sacrificed to the gods and praised. There was no fear, on love for the greater good of society. That was at least before 1980 so I really don’t care.

Nowadays we can”t afford to sacrifice ourselves to any god (not even Marduk), because we have work on Monday. Here is a little video that can help you avoid human sacrifice while putting your mind at ease…

I am sorry Lord Marduk, I will sacrifice the first person who comments on this post for they are the winner….
