My real name is actually Will Hanbury, Jr. Accept no substitutes! :laugh:

I, too, am a ‘Jr.’...Thomas Kevin...I don’t have a middle name...Kevin is my ‘Confirmation’ name.

Later this week we’ll note the 50th anniversary of the death of Thomas Kevin, Sr...

"Do you know what this is?" "I had to think for a minute....what cruel game was he playing?"

That's a pickle in a brown paper bag!

Onect I owned a pickle in a brown paper bag that made a Bozo nose squeak that I purchased at a FST concert, but lost it in travel :banghead:

At least in wasn't in your pocket.....

Did FST have sound effects folks or did they do their own?

The show was probably around 94 and what I recall is seeing only those four on stage. Many bits were updated to more topical references, like the "one shining steel rail! Rockefeller Rockefeller Rockefeller" from How Can You Be in Two Places at Once .... Well worth the price of admission. Recall we all had a dinner at some Turkish restaurant with raki to chase the meal. So we were primed for comedy by the time we got there.

What is amazing to me is just how prescient Everything You Know is Wrong turned out to be .... LOL

I've only had the opportunity to see half of FST live, can't remember exactly when, but it was probably in the late '70s, at the old Agora on E 24th Street in Cleveland. Peter Bergman was from here, and I think, one other, too. So, that means it must have been the air and water quality around here that was the "fertilizer" for causing creating FST. :roflmao:
 
British comedy, Bubble and Squeak.

(In hushed tones...He’s cooking our garbage)



But turnips on the Irish table in any form may well be taken as insult. Turnips are animal fodder.

(I like boiled and mashed turnips anyway.)

Actual Los Angeles, as only understood prior to arrival from media, is vastly more amusing when learning "Merging Buses Ahead" sign on the Hollywood Freeway is real. Or actually making to to the exit for the Antelope Freeway. Or learning the Rainbow Room in West Hollywood is exactly as Cheech and Chong recorded.

I was referring to Peter's formative years, when his brain went afoul due to the environment he grew up in as a child. :D
 
Seagulls seem to be the worst offenders. Had one steal a piece of KFC drumstick. Thought it was going to choke swallowing the bone but it got it down. A cannibal.

Seen them swallowing an entire hot dog, bun and all. Must be a TARDIS inside.
Had a seagull steal my hotdog off my cart on a Golf course as I walked over to hit my tee shot. It was about 250 yds out from #10 tee. Cart path only. Come to find out that they hung out there because just about every golfer bought food at the halfway house....
 
Went to see Santana and the Doobies Saturday. Thirty thousand people. Half of them 60+ year olds wearing either black Doobie tee shirts or Harley shirts. Doo rags were part of the dress code. Both bands were tight, well rehearsed. The whole event was produced and executed to perfection. The sound system bout ripped my head off. We were seated center 47 rows back.

From here out i will stick to venues where cocktail servers come to your table. Little too old for that size crowd.
