The real terror of the oncoming anniversary next week is becoming apparent. Flags and "holiday" type crap starting to appear for sale in stores, prophetic onion article about bartender wondering what to do for the anniversary, etc. My work is offering "anniversary syndrome" counseling.

In case anyone is wondering, I plan to spend the 11th hiding in my closet hugging my cat until all the flagschmerz goes away.

WHAT A COUNTRY! as Yakov Smirnoff would say. Did you know he's an artist these days? "I was really nervous about starting this painting. Watching the flag fly proudly over my theater always gave me goose bumps. I was hoping to portray it with honor. I hope I did."

Current Mood: nervous
Current Music: Monk - April in Paris

Oh yes, and thank you very much. I wonder if "The Case of the Missing CD Plates" is the same as "A Strange Case of Diplomatic Immunity." (I've got the former on vinyl and can digitize it if needed.) I was introduced to the Goons by a friend in high school, and had a few recorded off the air from WCRB, a local classical station, which they played after the Peter Schickele show.

Yup, it's the same one! A few of the shows were done under a couple names (like Childe Harolde I theenk was under another name too). I got a couple of their albums in high school too, but knew about them from relatives who had heard them when they were in Britain. Whee!

I have a scriptbook for them too, which has some correspondence between the goons -- the most funny ones being between Milligan & Sellers. I'll try to find a scanner around and see if I can get some images of this stuff up sometime. =)
