Were these the guys that hurt me 30 years ago?

| Subject: Were these the guys that hurt me 30 years ago? In my long-ago halcyon college days of the early '70s I remember wandering through a party house in a warm golden glow of fellowship, romance and Spaņada and encountering a room where people were listening to a comedy album. I remember hearing a guy watch TV shows such as a game show- "Catch It and You Keep It!" and commercials- "chicken fingers surrounded by a thin thin thin sixteen millimeter shell" and "Friends- are you troubled by the steady drip, drip, drip of gonorreah? Try Peter Rooter!" and so on. I laughed so hard I hurt myself. When I was still hurting the next day the doc at the campus medical center told me I had "pulled intercostal muscles. Take these and don't breathe too deep". Later I tried to find out what album it was, who brought it, etc., unsuccessfully, and have wondered ever since. At a reunion lately a friend told me he thought it was "The Firesign Theatre". Can anyone tell me if this is so, and which album? If so I will probably just have to get everything these guys have ever done just to be sure I don't miss out on any such gems of wisdom. Thanks for having the patience to read all this, whoever stuck with me this far. Wistfully yours, Michael. |
