“It all began innocently enough on Tuesday. I was sitting in my office on that drizzly afternoon listening to the monotonous staccato of rain on my desktop, and reading my name on the glass of my office door–“regnaD kciN.””

Nick Danger was great but I think my favorite vignette was “Beat the Reaper”, their send-up of the game shows so popular at the time.

“Welcome to side six, as we learn three new words in Turkish: towel, bath, border…”

NICK: I headed down the hall in the opposite direction, toward the fire escape. I hadn’t a moment to lose…

LT. BRADSHAW: Hey, Danger! Where’s the fire?

NICK: In your eyes, Lieutenant Bradshaw.

LT. BRADSHAW: Don’t get wise with me, Peeper.

You’re lucky we didn’t burn you on the Anselmo pederasty case.

RIP

“He’s no fun, he falls right over.”

Great memories from college radio station days.

I was enjoying a hit of mescaline and making sand-cast candles when a friend dropped by with a Firesign album. My jaw dropped to about the level of my navel.

I never did mescaline again, but I became addicted to the Firesign Theater. To this day, my wife and I still occasionally toss their lines at each other. They were a reminder that genius exists in this world.

Madison WI has the pizza chain Rocky Rococco. So, pizza for dinner, with some wine, and replay some Firesign. Sad.

I was born in the late 70’s, a bit after these records first came out, but my Dad had several of them which I listened to in the 80’s. They came out with a whole new album in 2000 which, it seemed, I was the only one in my social circle that was thrilled about it.

Just such wonderful wordplay. “It’s a butte. – No, it’s a mound. – And right purty too… can you move it?”

Or just nonsequitors that tweek something in my head: “A nice, tall, cold glass of meat.”

Wierd non-overt references to more erudite things, like Zeno’s paradox as well. Man, they were good. Stoned into their minds.

I’m sad to see time catch up with them.

EMW@2 “Pizza to go” should read “no anchovies?”
