although it has dawned on me that one might not appreciate firesign theater quite so much unless one had grown up with radio, teevee being a relatively late addition to the distractions of life for us early baby boomers --- but "the pure white light of stupidity" is one of the more awesome lines in the history of mankind

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
