If you been with Psychosomatic Rants for a while, you know that I spent a good time on the road following and filming the animals at Ringling Bros. Circus. I introduced you to several of the elephant handlers, on the blog and in this video, Psychosomatic Hallucinations.

Now the very same handlers have re-surfaced in a brand new video. In 2009, PETA went undercover inside Ringling Bros. and found that workers beat and whipped elephants and tigers dozens of times while the circus performed around the country. Here is the new video

What can you do to help?
    Don't attend Ringling Bros. Circus and any other circus that has animal acts, because every time you purchase a ticket - you pay for the abuse to continue.
    Write to the USDA and ask them to remove these elephants from the road. Not good at writing? Click here to send a form email to the USDA.

A live-action adaptation of the venerable "giant robots" franchise, Voltron is in the works. You know the popular 1980s Japanese animated TV series, Voltron. This one...
The Voltron film has been in the works for nearly three year and it wasn't until recently that New Regency films have acquired all the rights for the film. Apparently, that has been all worked out and Justin Marks is taking the helm for Voltron. [singlepic id=350 w=320 h=240 float=right]
Voltron, the upcoming live action film,  is described as a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico, where five survivors of an alien attack band together and end up piloting the five lion-shaped robots that combine and form the massive sword-wielding Voltron that helps battle Earth’s invaders.
From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend; the legend of Voltron, Defender of the Universe, a mighty robot, loved by good, feared by evil. As Voltron's legend grew, peace settled across the galaxy. On Planet Earth, a Galaxy Alliance was formed. Together with the good planets of the solar system, they maintained peace throughout the universe, until a new horrible menace threatened the galaxy. Voltron was needed once more. This is the story of the super force of space explorers, specially trained and sent by the Alliance to bring back Voltron, Defender of the Universe!

[singlepic id=348 w=320 h=240 float=center]
The one item that should have jumped out at you was the part that read,
'Includes fully-functional, wearable, adjustable Night Vision Goggles with indiviually numbered and engraved Collector's Stand. Custom-designed and painted goggles allow sight in absolute darkness up to 50 feet in black & white or night vision green..'
I don't know what someone would do with night vision goggles where you can see up to 50 feet in complete darkness, but hey, it is pretty cool ad-on for a game and for 149.99., it really isn't that bad of a deal. (Depending on the quality of the goggles.)
Check out the video below to see all the goodies you get when you buy the Prestige Edition.

Yesterday, I went on a journey to the grocery store with Mylie T. This trip was nothing out of the ordinary. You know, just getting the staples to survive starvation.  Several hours passed as we walked up and down the aisle, picking things we wanted or needed off the shelves.

The point in time came when we reached the end of our shopping experience so we stopped and looked at each and asked, 'Did we get everything?"   We scanned the cart and the back of our brains to try to remember if there was something we forgot.  As I was thinking I saw out of the corner of my eye, a red logo that is so very familiar to me. I was caught by suprise because this logo was completely out of its normal comfort zone that I know and love.  It was the Dr Pepper logo, but there was something very strange about it. In all my confusion, I completely ran over Mylie T in my quest to get to this strange thing that was holding me in a trance.

As I got closer, I noticed that the Dr Pepper logo was attached to something new, it wasn't the normal drinking bottle, it looked more like an IV drip bottle, full of Dr Pepper - Have my dreams been answered? Has Dr Pepper made an IV drip bottle for the addicts? Was the needle and tubing included?

My heart began to race with excitement while thoughts of having my own personal Dr Pepper IV drip danced in my head, but as I got within arms distance of the product I came to find out that it was not a IV drip bottle.

It was the next best thing - Dr Pepper Cherry Dessert Topper - with a NO MESS CAP!

Yes, you heard me, I said with a no mess cap!

This is amazing!  Now I can pour Dr Pepper over everything (and not have people yell at me).  Think of the possibilities!  ICE CREAM!, and  Ice Cream.. and uh.. ice cream.  What else do you put toppings on?

 I tried to think of anything you would add sweet, sugar-y toppings - and all I can thing of is ice cream.

So in the spirit of breaking traditions, I am going to put Dr Pepper Cherry Dessert Topping on everything eat today.

Diabetic coma, here I come!

I am always talking about horror films or at least 3D films. I love watching movies, I could watch them all the time - but I don't. So what do I do when I can't get my horror movie fix? I read. Ok, normally, I don't read horror books - I mean don't get me wrong - I still remember when I read '[amazon-product text="The Hellbound Heart" type="text"]0061452882[/amazon-product]' by Clive Barker back in '89. But the books I normally read, were books like, [amazon-product text="Power and Struggle (Politics of Nonviolent Action)" type="text"]087558070X[/amazon-product]by Gene Sharp. - I should add, that if you want to include the 'underground' comics I collected as a kid then I could say I read a ton of horror books. Dead World was one of my fav. comics - outside of all the Clive Barker comics. [singlepic id=330 w=320 h=240 float=right] Anyway, the point is my horror movie obsession and my books never saw eye-to-eye. So to pay tribute to all the great horror writers out there (they did write the story to all the great films we watch) I am going to make July Horror Book Month. So here is my reading list for the month of July. If you want to read along and share your thought I have included links where you can pick up your copy. I am starting off with,
    Necronomicon The Best Weird Tales of H.P. Lovecraft
Originally written for the pulp magazines of the 1920s and 1930s, H. P. Lovecraft's astonishing tales blend elements of horror, science fiction, and cosmic terror that are as powerful today as they were when they were first published. This tome brings together all of Lovecraft's harrowing stories, including the complete Cthulhu Mythos cycle, just the way they were first released. It will introduce a whole new generation of readers to Lovecraft's fiction, as well as attract those fans who want all his work in a single, definitive volume.
[amazon-product align="center"]0575081570[/amazon-product]
    Major Tales and Poems by Edar Allan Poe is the book I will be reading but I can not find it on Amazon or any other online book store so I have found a book that is the same but just different cover and publisher. The book is called, Complete Tales & Poems of Edgar Allen Poe
[amazon-product]0394716787[/amazon-product]
    Zombie CSU: The Forensics by Jonathan Maberry
When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth... And law enforcement is ready to take them down! Since Night of the Living Dead, zombies have been a frightening fixture on the pop culture landscape, lumbering after hapless humans, slurping up brains and veins and whatever warm, fleshy matter they can clench in their rotting limbs. But what if they were real? What would happen if, tomorrow, corpses across the nation began springing up out of their graves and terrorizing the living? Employing hard science and solid police work not—to mention jaw-dropping (literally!) humor—Zombie CSU is the only guide you need to make it through alive—not undead. At last you can: Investigate zombie crime scenes, collecting and analyzing evidence of zombie attacks, and create a "murder book" Examine the psychology of the zombie and develop a perp profile. Observe medical science pros as they probe felled zombies for forensic clues. Devise a zombie apocalypse survival scorecard and more! Complete with lists of must-see zombie flicks from around the globe and tons of tips for kicking undead butt, Zombie CSU features hundreds of interviews with real zombie experts, forensics experts, detectives, filmmakers, and more.

    World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
"The Crisis" nearly wiped out humanity. Brooks (son of Mel Brooks and author of The Zombie Survival Guide, 2003) has taken it upon himself to document the "first hand" experiences and testimonies of those lucky to survive 10 years after the fictitious zombie war. Like a horror fan's version of Studs Terkel's The Good War (1984), the "historical account" format gives Brooks room to explore the zombie plague from numerous different views and characters. In a deadpan voice, Brooks exhaustively details zombie incidents from isolated attacks to full-scale military combat: "what if the enemy can't be shocked and awed? Not just won't, but biologically can't!" With the exception of a weak BAT-21 story in the second act, the "interviews" and personal accounts capture the universal fear of the collapse of society--a living nightmare in which anyone can become a mindless, insatiable predator at a moment's notice. Alas, Brad Pitt's production company has purchased the film rights to the book--while it does have a chronological element, it's more similar to a collection of short stories: it would make for an excellent 24-style TV series or an animated serial. Regardless, horror fans won't be disappointed: like George Romero's Dead trilogy, World War Z is another milestone in the zombie mythos.

    Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies -- "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.

If you love mini-golf but hate funerals then I have a place for you!  Ahlgrim's Family Funeral Home puts the FUN back in FUNerals.

They offer a wide variety of funeral packages and they all come standard with a game of miniature golf.  In the basement of the funeral home is a nine hole course, known as Ahlgrim's Acres.  You can check out the photos here.

The course includes obstacles such as coffins and headstones, with a one stroke penalty for bypassing the coffin on Hole #2. Screams and spooky music play continually.  I can't find out what the other services include - I wonder if they will do themed funerals?

Anyway, if you ever find yourself in Palatine, IL and want to play a game of 'haunted' mini-golf you know where to go...don't worry you don't have to kill someone to get to play a game. If a funeral isn't in progress you can go play a game of mini-golf without purchasing one of their death packages.

I need to run, I have to call my parents to see if they have created their funeral plans yet, fingers crossed they have not because I have the perfect location for their services.....

I can now say that I am a proud member of the Zombie Research Society.

What is the Zombie Research Society?
The Zombie Research Society (ZRS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising the level of Zombie scholarship in the Arts and Sciences.  ZRS Members represent diverse backgrounds, interests, and theories, but are unified in their support of the Society's three foundational principles:
1) A Zombie is a biologically definable, animated being occupying a human corpse.
2) The Zombie Pandemic is coming.  It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
3) Enthusiastic debate about Zombies is essential to the survival of the human race.
The Zombie Research Society seeks to advance the cause of Zombie knowledge and understanding in the Arts.
Because the field of Zombie research is both, a) extremely broad, and b) relatively new, the Zombie Research Society has divided its focus into three main areas of exploration:
SCIENCE
The importance of applying scientific method to the study of Zombies cannot be overstated.  We know dangerous little about the inner workings of the walking dead, so the Society's scientific efforts aim to present credible theories in hopes of getting closer to an ultimate truth
PREPAREDNESS
Surviving the coming Zombie Pandemic is at the core of ZRS's mission.  Through the study of ever-evolving preparedness techniques - and by making the latest findings widely available to the public - ZRS is taking concrete steps to reduce the human cost of the threat we inevitably face.
THE ARTS
An appreciation of Zombies in popular culture is essential to fostering a better understanding of why this very real - yet still unrealized - threat has captured the imagination of the world.  Creative representation of the modern Zombie are valuable, relevant, and worthy of scholarly study.
