Firesign Theater

For some reason, snippets of Firesign Theater albums keep going through my head this morning.

-Are those my cues?

- Yes, and they must be dry by now... Why don't you pull them up out of the cellophane before they scorch.

This is Side 5. Follow in your book and repeat after me, as we learn our next three words in Turkish...

Towel...

Bath...

Border...

May I see your passport, please?

I'm so sorry, I was in the bathroom when the lights went out. I missed everything! What a mess...

Oh, I see. You're too tired or scared to move! Well, just stand there. And I'll send Deputy Dan to get ya!

Uh, Clem.

Ma Reins Wholesome Moleskin Cookies.
Yes, the whole Moleskin cookie in an oilskin bag.
Each Cookie is a whole mole.
Won't melt in your hand or in your mouth... not messy.
That's Ma Reinies Whole Moleskin Cookies.
Eat 'em, wipe 'em off, eat 'em again. {Mmmmm!}
Your first bag will be your last!

Go get their latest CD on Artemis, "All Things
Firesign" which collects all their work from
NPR's "All Things Considered". There's an old
saying that runs something along the lines of
one's wits being the only weapon that grows
sharper with use, and those of the Four or
Five Crazee Guys are diamond-honed. If there's
a satirical entourage anywhere that can claim
to be as inventive, on-target and clever with
their material all the way from the Nixon Era
to the Dubya Era, they aren't on this planet.
