Waiting For the Insulation Guys, or Someone Like Them

[Oeditpus Rex]

They said they'd be here between 10 a.m. and noon. It's now 1 p.m.



Grr.

1. "Someone Like Them"

Like at this point you'll take anyone who'll staple random stuff in your attic...

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. No

[kay1864]

D'oh!

Missed the reference...they were a couple of years before my time. I was raised on a Python diet myself.

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. So was I

I actually "discovered" Firesign Theatre before Python, though — on an "underground" radio station in 1974 that played "High School Madness" (Porgy and Mudhead) from "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers." I was like, "Can they say 'masturbated' on the radio?" :D

I didn't know who the hell they were, though, so I didn't pursue them. (And anyway, the only relevant comedy team then to the average teenager was Cheech and Chong.) It was another 20 years before I was re-acquainted with them and could handle more cerebral comedy than "Dave's not here."

8. I discovered Python in early 1975

PBS was running episodes (repeats, but new to the US). One other guy at my HS and I were the only ones I knew who watched it. Then the movie came out a few months later, and it took off.

I didn't hear of Firesign until about 1978.

9. Where did you live then?

KERA in Dallas was the first U.S. station to air MPFC; that was in May, 1975.

I don't know when KQED in San Francisco picked it up, but it was October or November of 1975 when I first saw it.

11. NC

Must have been after the movie then. I could've sworn I was watching it before the movie came out.

Was that on Wikipedia, or do you just have an encyclopedic memory? :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. It's standard Python trivia

to the terminally obsessed.

If you google "KERA Monty Python"... no, wait, I think I've got it bookmarked.

Chapman, Jones, Palin and Gilliam on KERA during a pledge drive. :D

3. I have been working putting insulation in the upstairs room, just finished.

You know who your friends are when they come over to help.

I don't want to see anymore insulation.

[Call Me Wesley]

4. No worries,

they'll come and fix it.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Perhaps

But will they remember THE AN A STHE TIC?

THE AN A STHE TIC!

THE AN A STHE TIC!



*bonk*

[Call Me Wesley]

7. I dunno.

But perhaps they have to refresh themselves first from another insulation job in sunny Kollyfornia!



There's a man at the door with a moustache.

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. One particularly dim insulation dude can cock the whole thing up

(You can say that again.)









Tell him I've already got one.

[Call Me Wesley]

13. :O

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. But it's *my* cock!

That is to say, it belongs to me, and I own it, and what it is, too! :P





Besides — the show is called "Thrust." What else would I say?

[Call Me Wesley]

15. Must be Kollyfornia and all the beaches ...

Good evening. Tonight we're going to take a hard tough abrasive look at camel toe spotting. Hello.

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Kollyforniya's beaches don't bother me anymore

[Call Me Wesley]

18. Ha! Every Beach Boy needs a Beach Girl!

Care to share the secret? What's your routine?

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. What's my secret?

It's Dynamo Tension! Muscles pulling against muscles, the natural way!









Do you have any idea how hard it is to find images of the animations? x(

[Call Me Wesley]

20. Photobucket just died on me,

when I was uploading my cute shrugging animation. Fixed, check my previous post. ;)

But you have all the dvds 'n stuff! Make screenshots! Animate! Bring to life!



And with this, a good night from afar! It's ...

16. Yes, please Isolate GD!!!

OMG it is hell over there.
