Tickle Dracucorp 3rd Quarter Report

Dracucorp (NASDAQ ticker: TKLD) has enjoyed an eventful Q3 in '08. Following a lackluster performance during Q4 '07, Dracucorp had to revise it's projected earnings due to instabilities in the Russian amputee joke market, as well as concerns involving Dracucorp subsidiary Gowanus Springs Sparkling Water and Auto Recycling, Inc. In April, shares of TKLD fell sharply after a Weekly World News expose revealed that Dracucorp's stocks of weapons grade Yo Momma jokes were significantly compromised. Luckily, these were able to be retrofitted as redneck jokes and unloaded to a major supplier to Blue Collar TV. In late May, executives were able to leverage existing leveragability in order to finance hostile takeovers of both Bob Saget and Billy Crystal. This coupled with the aquisition of several thousand below market value used Jay Leno jokes has placed us in a strong position to dominate the retirement home humor market and has ensured that Tickle Dracucorp will remain financially viable well into the future. Although sales remain sluggish, we recently found a quarter backstage at Bowery Poetry Club, thus allowing us to equal our Q1 earnings of $2.73.

Financial details:

Q3 gross revenues: $11 5 drink tickets
Q3 net profit: $2.73
Net assets: $0.13, Subway Club card with 3 stamps, five unpaid parking tickets

Q4 goals include:

- Increase profits by at least 200% to $8.19
- All jokes to be both realizable AND scalable
- Expand merchandizing with new collectable penis replicas and Daniel Michael Signature brand flavored douches
- Learn to tune instruments
- 20% increase in panty and bra flinging at TD shows

I should have known something was wrong when MySpace asked me if I was sure I wanted to add you as a friend. At the time, I thought I was.

But now I send you messages that get marked Read, yet no response. I always wait in vain for a Replied. Sometimes they don't get read for a few days. I see that you're online! I check out your other Friends and I see witty post after witty post.

You constantly make snide comments about my Top 8. You've never accepted even one of my event invites. The next time I get a questionnaire bulletin from you about your love of Angelina Jolie and the fact that you've kissed both men and women, rather than choose Reply To Poster, I will be forced to use the more draconian Delete From Friends.

I'm sorry. I have to be tough and take a stand. The way I do against those dreaded band requests. Who likes bands anyway?

We at Tickle Dracula get a lot of questions from our legions of fans. Actually, they aren't usually questions, but commands like "stop touching me" or "give me my money back you assholes," but we do have to respond to the occasional query.

For example, recently we've gotten some questions regarding our formidable recording prowess. "How do you manage to pack so much rocknroll awesomeness and comedic dynamite into such a small amount of earspace?" both of our fans asked the other day. Well, fan(s), it's a long and highly involved process. The secret to a great recording is that everything in the awesomeness chain must be of utmost awesomicity. Should any link be contaminated with the slightest amount of lameness, the end product could end up being merely extraordinary. And that's not how we roll, people.

That's why we only use the freshest farm-raised jokes on our records. And why, before every Tickle Dracula sesh (that's a session for you non rock-biz nerds), Dan eats not one but TWO bowls of wheaties. (At the left you can see Dan recording his version of "We Are the World," soon to be released on "Tickle Dracula: The South 5th Seshes.") His pristine vocals then pass through our custom pop-filter (made out of stolen panties) directly into a big snarl of wires that are eventually fed into our patented Dracutron 2000. As the photo on the right shows, the rest of us basically sit around drinking 40s while Dan does all the work.

Judging from the photo below, you're probably thinking to yourself, "That looks like a simple setup. Any monkey could do that." Well, screw you, it takes a highly trained monkey to produce a TD recording. Below, I will attempt to explain in layman's terms the most important part of the awesomeness chain, the Dracutron 2000.


As you can see, the raw bits are fed into the rocknroll injector, which digitally encodes "w/ cock out" to the incoming "rock out" stream. From there, the humor amplifier increases the humor to near gut-busting levels. However, it is then fed into the comedy compressor to prevent excessive panty dampening for our female listeners (should we ever have any). Next, the signal is capacitively coupled via the flux capacitors into the discombobulator, and then into the rebobulator. The discombobulated rebobulation then passes through our proprietary anti-suck filter, which removes any trace suckiness, and our "Back to the Future Afterburner" circuit blasts any residual musical shittiness back to the early 1980's.

Thence, the signal passes into the Dracutron central processor core for final processing and is then burned to disc. In fact, ever since the Dracutron 2000 became self-aware in September of last year, we've noticed a 254 percent increase in the awesomeness of our recordings. The downside is that we have to continually feed it high grade dilithium crystals or it says it will explode the chips it implanted in our skulls. Also, because we couldn't afford XP and ran the damn thing on Windows 2000, it's susceptible to hackers and spammers, which means it makes us spend a large part of our income on penis enlargement pills and Nigerian phishing scams. The pills don't seem to be doing much, but hopefully I'll be getting a large check for $47 million from Mr. John Addabadibas at the Nigerian National Bank of Nigeria soon so I can upgrade the Dracutron to Windows XP, which Bill Gates assures me is impervious to attack.

Here are a few photos from the shows at Freddy's and Manitoba's.


The Bitter Poet at Freddy's Backroom. BP is our peep, our homey, and our slice. He's good people. Also, ladies, he's available if you're unavailable.


Bitter Poet and Peekaboo Pointe at Freddy's. Peekaboo fed pudding to our friend Eric off of her crotch during the show, and me, Richard, and one of BP's friends were her backup band.


Fistfull of Dollars at Freddy's.


Tickle Dracula UP IN LIGHTS!!! Manitoba's is a great little bar owned by Dick Manitoba from The Dictators.

Here are a few photos from Happy Happy Two at the Bowery Poetry Club on Feb. 10th. It was a great variety show put on by Amy Pacheco. Sorry for the shitty quality, it was a disposable camera.
