Glad you made it!

I remember reading Franks helpful posts on the Swiss Instruments (Leica) BBS back in the 90s. Boy those were the days, no one argued about politics back then.
Man time flies!

I wonder how many holdouts there are? I can think of one for sure. Not missing that mental picture either!

"pant, pant, pant. Over here. That's it. You've made it. Welcome to Side 6. Follow in your book and repeat after me as we learn our next 3 words in Turkish. Coffee, Delight, Border. May I see your passport please..." ...
Firesign Theatre, "Waiting for the Electrician"

These guys were popular comedy when I was in college, and are still active 40 years later. Their material, besides being very funny at times (when not just being crude), was extremely packed with references to repeating jokes and cross references between different programs that kept us college guys entertained listening over and over to find the subtleties. One example is one side of a wrong-number phone call on one record and the other side of the conversation on a different record.

This is actually the second side of the LP (for those old enough to recall what that is). The first 10 minutes of so of Side 1, "Temporarily Humboldt County", is the best satire on the settling of the New World I've ever heard. I recommend finding the recording just for that track. Note that critics say the CD release messed up the intro to side 2 of the LP.
