Dexter Fong: ...many British fans of FST believe that the Duke of Earl was secretely a founding member
CS: this is 3 years before, joe
bix313: ...and pop culture references abound...which is why I asked why about the number correction theme (if it is a theme)...I thought maybe it wsas a reference to something in particular...but maybe it is not cool on this board to ask about such mundane realities.
Rufus_T_Firetween: All sorts of great old stuff up on the podcasts, jahgust
MarkTime: searching for a tin of coco
Rufus_T_Firetween: lol Dex
Rufus_T_Firetween: Yeah cease, have been missing Stones and Honey

bix313: ...and I thought that one of the learned members of this chit might have a good answer.
shoes for the dead: everything said here is the absolute thuth
Dexter Fong: ...Film Noirists believe that Nick Danger was in reality Philip marlowe

||||||||| jahgust rushes off, saying "10:27 PM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?"
bix313: Me too...so let's back up a moment: that number correction moment sounded VERY intentional. Was it in fact an ongoing theme? Can any of y'all name other instances?
CS: by joe. congrats on your tv thing
EWeston: Stay on camera
Beet: Someday FST will be appreciated as this era's (collective) Shakespeare (I think)
Dexter Fong: ...and as is well known, Peggie was in reality Pegeen Fitzgerald who, along with her husband Ella, reigned supreme in the morning time slot on WOR radio for years...She later went on to become a variety of female names
shoes for the dead: yuppers beet
CS: a few weeks after this show, they began a series of plays where-in number correction is constant. as i listen more intently to their domm stuff, i hear it again. it was obviously a theme they liked
CS: as in, everything you know is wrong. a lot of their humour makes that point
EWeston: The thing , or a thing is to go against the flow. Give an unexpected, and funny repsponse. Number correction can be used this way.
CS: well put, ew
Dexter Fong: EW: No it cant
DJTween: ** Don’t forget to check out the Firesign Theatre Funway for a cool page full of Flash goodies. Just move your cursor over various areas of the page - https://firesigntheatrelegacy.com/funway.html
