1. Oh, Nicky, Nicky, Nicky...

George Leroy Tirebiter...

Nick Danger, Third Eye... definitely

I wish I still had the LPs. Perhaps I'll have a look on eBay.

2. Best of Firesign Theater is available on CD

Every Thanksgiving we listen to Temporarily Humboldt County. It's also a classic.

4. The one about the Native Americans...

Where the Great White Father steals the corn (for whiskey) and the land (for oil).

8. Whew, where to start.....

My favorite album (taken as a complete sketch) is obviously "In the Next World...." but the "Le Trente-Huit Cunegonde" sketch comes close.

There's too many to mention...if I were to just limit myself to "Dear friends" we'd be here for hours.

"I used to dress up as big egg and sit on them...and that FREAKS them out, man."

9. "Holy mudhead, mackerel! Morescience High...it's dissapeared!!"

"That son of mine"

"He's not your son, ed"

"Stop torturing me, Ethyl"

and...

"Well, boys, I'm off to my bridge club"

"Isn't that bridge built yet?!"
