Father Mordecai's Ultra-Saponified Tasty Treats...

This roiling cauldron of radio stew is brought to you by Father Mordecai's Ultra-Saponified Tasty Treats. Ladies, are you unattractively thin? Do you slide out of corsets like a log going down a flume? Is your back like an Atkin's Diet... no rolls? Does your bustle lack hustle? Then it's high time you shoved an Ultra-Saponified Tasty Treat in your craw. Father Mordecai makes this, the newest trend in beauty-fattening aids, with the four essential meat lards - meat, chicken, moose, and miscellaneous. Then, after lovingly wrapping the resultant lard-patty in bonding, he fries to a nutritious golden brown. From there, it is shipped from his odd smelling factory to your physician, who can prescribe to you, the unlovably waifish female, a delicious fortifying Ultra-Saponified Tasty Treat!

And... If you're frustrated by reports of impending precipitation, knowing that you can stand by, impotently, while rain looms in the future, waiting to soak you with possible foreign water, then Professor Cirrus has the umbrella for you. Run, don't walk, to your nearest parasol outlet and obtain the PreEmptive Bumbershoot can accompany you anywhere dark clouds threaten. They will quickly disperse when your PreEmptive Bumbershoot, which comes in four festive prints, blasts a pillar of electromagnetic radiation directly into the impolite atmosphere. A mere half-hour's exposure to cosmic rays is the only price you'll have to pay to keep your dashing beaver pelt hat dry and your dignity intact. Professor Cirrus' PreEmptive Bumbershoot! Haul one in a wheelbarrow to your next picnic... TODAY!

As always, The Clockwork Cabaret comes to you thanks to a generous grant and a significant boot in the ass from WCOM LP-FM Chapel Hill & Carrboro, which, like you, thinks the Chubb Corporation has a funny name.

Randolph Everett's Choice Cut Dino-meats...

Earlier this year, an intrepid team of Arctic explorers tumbled into a previously uncharted crevice in the frozen wasteland. Here, far beneath the Earth's crust, they discovered a tropical wonderland populated by magnificent beasts of prehistoric yore. Yes, they found the dinosaurs and now, you too can find these mysterious and noble creatures on your Thanksgiving dinner table thanks to Randolph Everett's Choice Cut Dino-meats! Your first course soup will wow your guests when you throw in a generous helping of Stega-Stew-Chunks! Combine the grandeur of the past with the flavor of the Orient with a delightful Teriyaki-Dactyl! And, as the center of your Thanksgiving meal, carve into a slow-cooked Veloci-Roaster, guaranteed juicy, lean and mostly dead. Randolph Everett's Choice Cut Dino-Meats asks, "Won't you stuff yourself full of dinosaur this year?"

And... after you've stumbled out of bed, groggy from your thunder lizard repast, and began arming yourself for your Black Friday shopping, won't you remember Dr. Feelgood's Tubercular Confectionary! It's the gift that keeps on giving - until they put you in quarantine. Ask for it, in a wet, strangled rasp, by name.

As always, The Clockwork Cabaret comes to you wrapped in butcher's twine, pulled from the defrosted carcass of WCOM 103.5 LP-FM Chapel Hill & Carrboro, which forgot the nutmeg and brown sugar this year AGAIN. DAMMIT!

Now, if you'll excuse me ladies, I'm off to petition the President to reinstate the sentence on that turkey. No turkey who did what that turkey did to those prostitutes should be allowed to live!

Wilmer Jumpsnort's Automated Mustache Twirler...

This cover of every show up to this point is brought to you by Wilmer Jumpsnort's Automated Mustache Twirler. Are your hands never free long enough to gloat properly over widows you've tied to the railroad tracks? When the mounties are in hot pursuit, are your arms pumping furiously as you run, leaving no time to accentuate your melodramatic cackling? Enter... the Automated Mustache Twirler! Simply attach it to your top hat or flight cap and your hands will be free for devious wringing while our amazing apparatus does all the facial hair molesting for you! (Not responsible for loss of lips.)

And... Does your domestic situation leave something to be desired? Do you long to steal away from the missus and retreat to a secluded bungalow and throw yourself into the sterile steel grasp of an illicit automatron lover, where she will whisper in your ear, "IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG, I DO NOT WANT TO BE RIGHT"? It's your lucky day! From the makers of Robot-Wife, it's Robot Mistress! She comes with all of the attachments of your Robot-Wife, but she's actually willing to use them! Robot Mistress, the mistress you only pay for once!

As always, The Clockwork Cabaret is better than the original version WCOM LP-FM Chapel Hill & Carrboro, which was only in it for the money anyway.

Klaude Davenport's Botched Inventions...

Thanks to the latest in hybrid technology, this week's show is brought to you from the creaking, mysteriously dripping vaults containing Klaude Davenport's Botched Inventions, which thanks to their high degree of botchitude, can now be purchased at rock-bottom prices.

Firstly, Klaude Davenport's Blunderbustle! Giving a new meaning to the term "rear flank", these high explosive, high fashion accoutrements, first disarm the enemy romantically, then disarm them in actuality. Putting the boom in the zoom-a-boom-boom, it's Klaude Davenport's Blunderbustle!

Also from Klaude's Kitchen, it's the Pancake Milkshake! Fortified with moleculites, the Pancake Milkshake is delicious, nutritious, and slightly hallucinogenic. Now in blueberry, banana, and sentient.

As always, Klaude Davenport's failures as an inventor and victories as an unintentional conceptual artist are brought to you by WCOM LP Chapel Hill & Carrboro, which thanks to Klaude, is now powered by the plutonium honey of the deadly ATOM-O-BEE! Buzz buzz kill!

Gentlemen! Do you have an illegitimate and wayward son or daughter?
Ladies, are your second and third children 'getting under your feet'?
These sorts of young adults need instruction in the way the world REALLY works

Fortunately the Rudd Finishing School can help!

Established in 1808 under the patronage of King James III, The Rudd
school is managed, run and solely owned by - Lady Emmeline Rudd.

Our forthright curriculum is dedicated to equipping these 'difficult'
over-grown children with useful skills, once their 12 month course is
completed.

Cad's, Bounders and Rakes will acquire the following skill-set:
Gem-theft - using the patented 'Raffles' method
Brawling
Billiards / Pool / Snooker
Cards - Poker (honest and 'professional'), Bridge, and Pontoon
Backgammon - To Win, to humble and to cheat
Cocktails for the louche
and more...

Eye Flashing - to Parisian Boudoir level
Make Up - an intensive course covering Demure, Wooing, Seduction and Scorn
Derringer - All Nineteen hiding places
Poisons - New and Old
Bustles - for the new seductress!

While the fees for this course are very substantial, your wayward
child will soon forget their old life of petty theft and trivial
friendship and be well on their way to becoming a scandalous person,
never away from the headlines - thus allowing the careful parent to
dine out on the exploits of their child for the rest of their life.
