(Isn't there a better way to do multiple references? This nesting is driving me crazy -- it's worse than Pascal!) Yes, you've all finally got it right. As I mailed to various people, the context of one of the quotes on the album "How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All?", is as follows: Side One: "How Can You Be..." "...Look, the sun is going down!" "No no, you're confused, the horizon is moving up!" "I know, let's STAND HIM ON HIS HEAD!" "There, you see, NOW IT'S MORNING!" "Awww, he's no fun, he fell right over!" On Side Two: "The Further Adventures of Nick Danger, Third Eye", Betty Joe Bieloski (aka Nancy) is rendered unconscious ( I believe by Nick ) causing Nick to exclaim "Aww, she's no fun, she fell right over!" Firesign Quiz: How many other instances of "(He's/She's/It's) no fun, (He/She/It) fell right over!" can you name? Bart Massey ..tektronix!reed!bart (answering phone) "Nick Danger, Third Eye!" "Hello, I'd like a large pepperoni pizza to go, hold the anchovies..." "No anchovies? You must have the wrong man! I spell my name DANGER!" (slam) "WHAT????" -- How Can You Be... "Hello, I'd like a large pepperoni pizza to go, hold the anchovies... WHAT???? Hello? Hello? Man, they never come up into the hills!" -- Don't Crush That Dwarf...
