Elayne: Haven't seen it yet.
Elayne: Not a huge amount of interest.

llanwydd: actually I rate this album a close second to 2 Places
Elayne: Yep, me too. Cheddar flavor
Commando Cody: Tweeny, you need an Arnie's whole beef half with horseradish, that'll fix you up.

Cease: mujst be on line somewhere
Rufus_T_Firetween: wonder if it's on YouTube?
Elayne: Maybe when I feel like riding the subways again post-pandemic I'll watch it. Not going into Manhattan any time soon.
Commando Cody: PErsonally I've become an anchovie fan.
Elayne: I do miss it, and I have $500 to spend on subway/bus fare whenever we can all get around again.

Commando Cody: Ray Harryhausen was the guy who did those great effects if I'm correct.
Commando Cody: Misheard lyrics. Great stuff.
Cease: ive been listening to firesign almost since their origin and i'm stil hearing new things.
Cease: better to find out for yourself than asking them
Cease: i just noticed that beat the reaper ended with "isn't he a good sport" and 2 places starts with Ralph Spoilsport.
Cease: so i emailed them last week and proc said it was accidental and ossman said it was intentional, or vice versa
Rufus_T_Firetween: Hey, good point Cat
Commando Cody: LOL Cat.
Cease: meaning: there is still new stuff to be discovered from their work, even by them.
Beet: All you need to do is sound like a preacher and that's enough to be able to pass the plate.
Cease: as i said earlier, they covet and inspire mystery.
Commando Cody: Or was it? Could be a conspriacy on their part to keep us all in the dark. :)
