Wednesday, 02 May 2007
Radio: McArthur In The Morning @ 8:30 AM
103.9 The Hawk, Toronto
In 1834, up to 1,000 Torontoites died of cholera. As readers of my book know, it's the flush toilet that prevents cholera from taking a toll like that again today. Tune in and hear us discuss the history of sanitation management (or as much as we can work in between the poop jokes).
It's a butt mitzvah. A coming out party. The birth of the movement. Be there for Poop Culture's official release party. Comedians! Musicians! Films! And, of course, yours truly. Confirmed performers include Bobby Tisdale, Gabe and Jenny, Stuckey and Murray and Gregg Gethard, and the greatest work of bathroom-related art since Piero Manzoni canned his waste and tagged the price of his cans to their weight in gold. (Seriously.) It will be an unforgettable night of classy and intellectual poop fun.

The Tao of Poo: A Night of Poop Humor and Poop Culture @ 8:00
Fleisher Art Memorial, Philadelphia
On June 2, I'll be joining four Philadelphia comedians at the Fleischer Art Memorial for an evening of history, cultural analysis, and the kind of cringe-inducing bathroom stories that everyone seems to have (but few are brave enough to actually reveal in public).
At The Tao of Poo, I'll follow each comedian's story -- be it the unfortunate confluence of rush-hour traffic and IBS, or a sadistic gastroenterologist's solution to constipation -- with the insight and understanding that can only come from one of the foremost experts on the subject of human waste. I'll provide a...
I return to D&R to talk about you know what. Read more about Derek and Romaine.

===========
Here's the official event description:
Dave Praeger is the author of "Poop Culture: How America is Shaped by its Grossest National Product." Poop Culture is funny, of course -- given the subject, how could it not be? But it's also a heavily researched analysis of something that rarely receives serious consideration. In it, Praeger explores how our psychology and our...
In the 16th Century, John Harington invented a flushing water system that was the precursor to the modern toilet. Its nickname was "Ajax," which was a pun putting Greek pretensions on the then-colloquial term for a crapper. Ajax rhymes with Bax, so who better to discuss poop with? Tune in. (In spite of the lame intro above. Sorry about that.)

TV: SpikeTV's Manswers @ 11:00 PM EST (I think)
SpikeTV
Almost a year ago, I recorded a segment with SpikeTV's Manswers show. They told me it was going to be like MythBusters, but for men; as it turns out, it's more like Playboy, but with trivia. Judging by the description on the SpikeTV schedule, I think I'm on the October 10 episode, in which I help forward the progress of humanity by discussing whether or not going to the bathroom can kill you.
