all the "computer word" references were the result of
The Bozos hanging out at SAIL,
the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab, and
reading over people's shoulders hacking on
the SAIL PDP-10. They didn't know what they
meant, but Gee Willikers, Mr. Tirebiter!
they were QUUL!

"Don't Crush That Dwarf" is still my favorite.
and for the bonus bag of sugar, what other
FST album contains the other half of a phone
call you hear on "Don't Crush That Dwarf" ??

One year in the middle 1970s, one of the guys
who worked with me at the University of Oklahoma
computer center stood for election as a candidate for
president of the OU Student Association, and his
platform was, in its entirety, "Not Insane!"
(I think that's from "Bozos" but won't swear to it.)

Boy, this is some real first-rate geezin' tonight!
