Multiply 365 Day 274 - Dick Cancer Awareness

I am watching football yesterday and during the course of the games I am seeing players with pink towels, or pink gloves, or pink mouthpieces. Apparently it was in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I guess my question is, when isn't it Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Really, is it ever off the schedule? I know there are times when here in Pittsburgh they will change the water in the fountains pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, there are cabs that drive around town that are pink, because it's all about Breast Cancer Awareness. I get it, really I do. Breast Cancer exists. I am aware. Enough already. Or at least grant Dick Cancer Awareness equal time. Let's spend a few years talking about nothing but Dick Cancer. It's only fair.


So without further adieu, this will be your Dick Cancer Awareness Blog. Between little snipptes from me, I will make you aware of Dick Cancer. And really, that would be an awesome porn name. “Anal Invaders” starring Dick Cancer. Okay, I'll stop.


So it seems that Monday Night Football on ESPN has pulled their Hank Williams Jr opening after HW Jr appeared on the Fox News morning show and basically called Barak Obama Adolph Hitler. Now those of us locally know that ESPN can get testy when it comes to their image, as was the case with Mark Madden, a local sports talk host who was working for the local ESPN affiliate at the time and was fired for making the comment upon Ted Kennedy's passing that he figured when Kennedy died it would be from drowning. That was reason enough for management in Bristol to end their association with Mark Madden and he was shown the door, so them pulling the HW Jr opening of Monday Night Football is not that big a stretch for those of us living here in Pittsburgh.


In the United States there are reported between 7500 and 8000 cases of Dick Cancer a year.


The register system at work is still trying to figure out just what it was I did to it. It was still running slow most of Sunday and while it was better today, it still had numbers in the system that I had taken out on Saturday but the deletions haven't crossed the entire system yet. I hope they have rebooted them at least once since I did everything, maybe I should do that tomorrow. Just to make sure that when it reconnects it is connecting to the new improved model I have in the basement and not keeping shadows of its crappy former self hanging around.


Dick Cancer kills roughly 400 men in the United States each year.


Did you ever have one of those moments where you are doing something and remember that you forgot to blog about something, but now that you have remembered you will be sure to get around to it, on,ly to find that now that you are sitting down you have once again forgotten what you previously remembered after you forgot it the first time? Yeah, that's where I am right now. I distinctly remember being at work and through the course of the day I was doing something an the thought that “yeah, I forgot to mention that” popped into my head. Well guess what? Looks like I am going to forget to mention it again, because I forgot what it was.


While I call it Dick Cancer for comedic purposes, technically it is testicular cancer. But I imagine you already knew that.


Well, we are closing in on about 10 days till the hockey game I a supposed to go to but I still don't have the tickets yet. I talked to Fred about them on Friday and he said he would bring them in this week, probably on Wednesday, so I a not in full blown panic mode yet. But I am aware of my luck with women, so it would not be beyond the realm of my karma for the whole thing to blow up in my face since I actually have an attractive female that wants to be seen in public with me. Or will at least tolerate being in public with me if a free hockey game is involved.


You can still have sex even after having Dick Cancer.


Okay, I am done now. Feel free to go forth and tell other about Dick Cancer. Make them aware. Get it a month.

  1. Interesting blog to say the least. FYI men die of breast cancer also. Men usually go undetected for longer periods of time them women because most men don't know they can get breast cancer. I don't know if I would call it dick cancer or ball cancer, after all it's all about location. I know at Towson University last week was the prostrate and testicular cancer run/walk. I should have take a picture of the signs because they were priceless - Stand up against prostrate and testicular cancer. Yeah...ummmmm

  2. I went for comedic value with Dick Cancer. And I am not pro breast cancer (which I call Tit Cancer, again for comedic value), but I don't know how many times I have seen one of those pink Yellow Cabs roll by, which I call Tit Cabs. So I would ofetn joke, "where's the dick cab?" Funny thing is now, there are one or two dick cabs as well.

  4. I also get the breast cancer thing...and I've had people close to me affected by it, hell one of my closest friends is dying from it now. However, it saddens me that it gets ALL the awareness and there is so much money that could go to other illnesses, disorders etc. It really pisses me off. Hell, there's not even a test to determine ovarian cancer..but is there heaps of money going to that? So at least women would know they have it? No. PostSecret this week had a postcard about this too, timely blog topic.

  5. I wonder if it makes more people aware of the situation or just gives people a reason to wear pink.

  6. As a general rule I have nothing against Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but it seems like it is caught in some temporal loop, not unlike Bill Murray in Ground Hog Day, it is no more than over than it is recurring again.
