Mr. Cullen,
I would like to know what happen to the
Mexican puppet called Pee Pee that was in your shows.
I think that that puppet show was awesome.Do you give
autographed photos. Hey keep up the great work!!!
A fan of yours,
Jon W Brewbaker

Jon,
Peepee still exists, it has just been a while since he
has aired in Roanoke. His latest appearance was on Na
Leo O' ,Hawaii TV in Kailua Kona. I had thought of
reairing some of the older episodes because I do get
fan mail for him! I however do not put a lot of
emphasis anymore on shows that air here in Roanoke
after a few bad moves on the part of Cox
Communications. Unlike the old days, the access
channel has been moved to a channel that is hidden in
the high digits and difficult to locate...so all the
good shows go to the other stations around the country
that actually care for "The Charles Cullen Show".Yes I
do have photo cards that I sign and would be happy to
send you one. I actually recall your name from writing
in years past, and I do believe we met one time in a
Wal-mart..is that correct or has the cheap beer rotted
my brain?
Charles Cullen

Charles,
You aren't on cox cable anymore
Michael

Michael,
Sadly enough I am. Cox recently made the "Not so
bright" idea to move the access producers to a very
difficult channel to locate. It is channel 78, and I
hear that some cable boxes do not even go that high. I
send to various other stations around the country, so
they get first attention since they treat the show
with more respect. I have recently considered pulling
the shows completely from Cox Communications and the
Roanoke area. I do appreciate you writing and your
concern, I am glad people miss it.It lets me know they
care, even if Cox Communications does not.
Thank you very much.I do greatly appreciate you
writing.

Charles,
Roanoke has never been noted for supporting much of
anything. The Civic Center turned down an invite from
the Eagles Hell Freezes Over tour. They wanted to do
a fill in nite on Thursday coming from Charlotte to
DC. We turned them down because we had a hockey game.
Michael

Michael,
I totally believe you.I notice they are adding a new
addition on to the Civic Center. I assume it is either
a larger ice hockey rink or a huge room that they will
organize a group for selling fruit baskets and cheap
dolls during the holiday season.
Charles Cullen

hey Charles, hope everything is well with you. I will
be in Roanoke for Christmas, so I'll be sure to watch your shows then. I feel bad
cause I've missed a whole year, my mom's VCR does't work anymore so she
wasn't able to tape them for me. Do you archive your shows now? You
sent me an email once thanking us for some wine my mom and I sent you last
year, and mentioned that you opened it on the show. We thought this was really
cool but never saw it, so I was kind of wondering if I could get a copy or
something.
I have attached a picture that I got from one of my myspace friends. He said it
was a postcard from a German art exibit called
"bodies" at his college in California, where they had taken the dead bodies of
animals and humans and drained them out and filled all the blood vessels with a
liquid plastic which hardened, then later they removed all the organic material of
the
original body, leaving only the plastic veins behind.
It managed to fill up even the smallest veins apparently, because it makes a very
lifelike chicken, I think it's a rooster actually but not sure. I thought it was pretty
cool, I hope you enjoy it.
take care ~ Wes

Wesley,
Good to hear from you and hope all is well. Thanks a
bunch for that photo of the chicken. I am currently
working with some mummified cats on my latest movie
"Curse of the Mummycat". I do remember the wine,
however a lot of the show tapes are not labeled in any
detail so it could be quite as chore to find. If I do
run across it though I will certainly keep you in
mind. The shows are now on Cox channel 78 in the
Roanoke area.Enjoy and welcome home for the holidays!
Charles

Dr. Cullen,
Hopefully you haven't killed the gray fox. Feel
blessed that you have the biodiversity available on
your property. If everybody would let these wild
animals just tend to themselves and not hassle them
this world would be better off. Many animals just are
having a hard time of it because we humans have left
them so little space to exist. We live in town and
possums come right up on our back deck and the cats
pretty much pay them no mind and we enjoy the show.
Please live and let live and just enjoy the show.

Craig Alberhasky, Nebraska

Craig,
Thank you for writing in.Hopefully you didn't take me
wrong, I am very much for the co-existence thing with
animals. I have had many many animals, most of them
wild and even some exotics (monkeys/alligators). I was
trying to educate and at the same time show concern.
My main worry is my cat. I am doing all I can to exist
with the foxes. But she comes first. So far so good.
The cat is still on the porch and the fox is still in
the field. Another concern that I failed to mention in
the column was the fact that foxes are avid carriers
of rabies.I am going to try and film it soon and do a
TV show segment on "The Fox".Funny you mentioned
oppossums. I just recently tended to a baby one for
about a month. When it grew a little I turned it loose
in the same area I found it. I really enjoyed having
her and we had even established a trust near the end
of her stay with me where I was handling her without
gloves and even bringing her in the house.The whole
escapade was documented on film. Take care, and if you
are in the viewing area of my show, keep a lookout for
upcoming episodes of the fox and oppossum!
Charles Cullen

I live in Nebraska and saw your article by chance on
the net. Speaking of possums, I rescued about 6 babies from a mother possum
that got smashed on one of our streets. I called wildlife rescue and gave them
over. They told me that very young baby possums have to be kept warm
otherwise bacteria will flourish and kill them. They are perfect miniatures of the
older possums and to me they look awesome and not ugly at all.
Take care.
Craig

We live on a hill above the Poage Farm at the foot of
Bent Mountain. We have what I believe are red foxes
that have marked our property.Have seen them on and
off for 3 years. This summer, one would come out of
the woods, roll around in the grass in our side yard,
jump on a rock, and lick, yawn, and scratch.
We have 4 cats that stay outdoors most of the time,
and have had no problems. I think a problem with
possums, racoons, and foxes might happen with cat food
left outside.We had 2 little kittens that adopted us 2
years ago, and I left catfood on the front stoop for a
while. A possum came every night, ate it, and actually
slept in the garage with the kittens sometimes! He got
so brazen he would beat his head on the front door
when I stopped leaving the food out! Also the
chickens might be tasty to a fox.
I will send a picture of "Natalie", named after the
Fox 21/27 newscaster.

PS, I used to be Grant Plaskon's nextdoor neighbor
when he was a teenager.

Carolyn,
Thank you very much for that nice email (whomever you
are) . And also thank you for that nice picture of
that playful fox. But most of all thank you for easing
my concerns for the safety of my cat.
Your oppossum story is funny also. I had the same
thing happen. I was sitting on my back porch one night
in the rocking chair. Something kept rubbing against
my leg. I paid no attention, assuming it was my cat.
Nope, I looked down and to my suprise it was a
SKUNK!!! I froze. It ate some cat food and went on
it's way. Take care and keep me posted of any fox
sightings!
Charles Cullen

Charles,

Tara,
The song was recently released on a CD titled: Charles
E. Cullen's "Beyond Help". The CD comes with a bonus
DVD of some of the recording sessions of the songs .
It is available through the online store found at
www.cullenstudios.net. Hope that helps.
Charles Cullen

Charles,
Hi. Me and my friend Chris watched your film (Killer
Klowns from Kansas on Crack)after drinking cacti delecti juice
....it was a wonderful insightful film. You deserve endless praise and should be
world reknowned. How many other films do you have like this and how can I
possibly watch them?
Greg
Warren, Michigan

Greg,
Thanks for the nice review. I have a total of 12 out
in distribution .I am about to release two more within
a week or so. All of the movies and their synopses can
be found at www.cullenstudios.net on the online store.
MVD Entertainment Group is also an international
distributor of my movies, but mainly cater to retail
stores. Thanks again, we just got an order for that exact
title ( Killer Klowns from Kansas on Krack)going to
the Netherlands, I hope their review is as good as
yours!
Take Care,
Charles Cullen

Charles,
Thanks for the response. You're welcome for the
review. I just went to the cullenstudios site and ordered
Super Badass. I hope for the same kinda fun content as
Killer Klowns.... Ill definitely bookmark the page and
check for the new movies. Thanks again.
Greg

Greg,
Very good,
You made an excellent choice. If you liked " Killer
Klowns", I have a feeling you are gonna LOVE "Super
Badass". People seem to like the director's commentary
as much or more than the film!It has probably been my
widest distributed of all.
Order will ship tomorrow (Tuesday).
Charles Cullen

Hey Cullen Studios,
How long does it normally take for a dvd to arrive in
The Netherlands? The invoice you sent me is about 2
weeks old...
Thanks
Erwin de Koning

Erwin,
I think this is the first time we have ever mailed to
the Netherlands. However, I do mail to the UK quite
frequently and that seems to take about a week to a
week and a half. Your DVD was shipped First Class Air,
which should be the fastest. I would have thought it
would have arrived by now. If it does not show up
soon, let me know and I'll check with our post office
. I feel it will arrive soon. Keep us posted.
Charles Cullen
Cullen Studios

Erwin,
Checked with the post office today. They said that for
some reason it does seem to take a little longer ship
time to the Netherlands than the UK. Please let us
know that it arrives safely
Thanks,
Cullen Studios

Hey Charles!
Are you a myspace.com person? As part of getting ready
to promote her book, L has put up a myspace page,
www.myspace.com/laurabenedict. Go and visit it if you
would, leave a comment so she doesn't feel so lonely.
She's got some funny blog entries about life in
southern IL and some good pictures. If you have any
friends on myspace, would you encourage them to do the
same? I'd really appreciate it.
Life out here in southern IL is very good. We've got
about 12 acres now, a pond, a creek, woods, a high
meadow. Everything a person could want. I made an owl
call the other night and got the barred owls all
around our place hopping mad. They yelled for probably
two hours! Good fun.
Hope all is well there in the ROA Valley. We've got
nothing like the Chicken Man out here, more's the
pity. Tell Janet I loved the documentary.
Best,
Pinckney

Pinckney,
Good to hear from you. As far as "Myspace" accounts, I
do have a couple of them linked into my websites. You
can go to www.cullenstudios.net or
www.charlescullen.com and then click on the "Links"
button to check them out. Janet created and hosts one
and a record label in the UK (Sheffield Phonographic
Corporation, which distributes some of my music )
created and hosts the other. So about three different
people keep these things up for me, websites, myspace,
etc.. I'm not that knowledgeble in the building and
upkeep. However I will forward this on to Janet and
Diane in the UK and they should be able to hook her up
and link over...all that good stufff!
Also, FYI ,Diane in the UK has been working with
another documentarian in the UK on a separate film.
They have asked to use clips from Janet's documentary
in their documentary...pretty cool.
As far as me and you...when all these women become
famous for their books and documentaries, I am going
to recluse to your place and aggravate those barred
owls!
Charles Cullen
