1. I know who did this.
It's those bullies over at Communist Martyrs High School.

2. What are you gonna do when you graduate?
I'm gonna cut the soles off my shoes, sit up in a tree, and learn to play the flute!

Man, don't get me started on the Firesignania, I could sit here all day....They are my personal dieties, as you can guess by my handle and sig line.

12. or the need for the full DEAR FRIENDS instead of just a "best of"
when Elayne from that old Firesign Theatre newsletter made me a full set of copies of that, it probably altered my very DNA. I blame TFS for much that went wrong with me.

I tried to get Ossssssman to play a Bela Lugosi role as Tirebiter in a film based on a lost Ed Wood script. He was real excited about it, but it didn't happen due to obscure reasons. One day! ONE DAY!

13. You're kidding!?!
You got the inside skinny on the Firesigners or something? How much do you know? A letter from a rabbit? I'm gonna take this to hindquaters for psychoanalysis....

Just how do you know those 4 or 5 guys?

And no, I've never been able to bring myself to buy the huge radio OZ box sets or ten disc "Dear Friends" box. And I love Dear Friends, after Next World and How Time Flys it's my favorite Firesign album. How much of it is brilliant?

16. oh, I just nagged him via email
the film ended up being shelved, so its probably best that it didn't work out. One day I'll edit it, but its probably best as a note in a filmography.

DEAR FRIENDS is great - they really cook, excellent improvising and extended pieces...

15. Arnie's Whole-Beef Halves
Surrounded by a thin, thin, thin 16 millimeter shell...and inside -- it's delicious!! That's Arnie's Whole-Beef Halves. Thirsty? (That's me...) How about some Filipino Creamy comin' at you in shorts and quarts? And tubs of slaw (gimme two). Sorry, only one tub per family. That's Arnie's Whole-Beef Halves -- we deliver...EVERYWHERE!
OFFER NOT GOOD AFTER CURFEW IN SECTORS R or N.

Damn. They never come up into the hills.

20. IN THE LAST POWERFUL DAYS OF ANOTHER WAY OF LIFE...
When solemn, desperate men would to ANYTHING for a tankful...

In those terrible days of the "Hundred Year Gas War" and the terrible "Food Insurrection" when armies mixed MUSTARD and GAS and RELISHED WAR...

In those frightened times, Private Citizens often had to the terrifying work of REAL POLICE...apprehening criminals, and solving tricky moral problems...

They had PRIVATE HANDS but PUBLIC FISTS!
FULL TANKS but CLEAN CONSCIENCES, AND TONIGHT'S STORY IS ONLY TYPICAL...

"CARHOOK!" Starring Dirk Yogurt as "Dick Private, Public Detective!" Tonight's chilling story: "ROLLER MAIDENS, FROM OUTER SPACE!"
