I’m a happy camper.

I just received my copy of “Duke of Madness Motors” which contains a disc of EVERY radio show they did during the early 70’s.

Dear Friends … Radio Radio Hour … Let’s Eat …

80 hours worth.

I’ll be gone for a bit. 😃

I work in the department of redundancy department.  
I’m going to join the Natural Guard.

I think we’re all bozos on this bus.

She’s got a balcony you could do Shakespeare from!

Seriously … one thing I found out from going through this set, and that I was very surprised at, was that a lot of their early schtick was from found objects. For instance, the Deputy Dan coloring book which they read and misinterpret on “Dear Friends” was an actually coloring book printed and distributed by the LAPD back in the early 70’s.
