Y'know, I bet this is one of those things that will show up in the banter at upcoming shows. I can just picture it: Robbie: ...and *then* the gnome king accused Eddie of biting another gnome's head off. Eddie: Arrr! Mike: So that's when we decided that all those Internet people are freaks. Besides, the Gnome King's stratagem for torturing EFO via Teletubbies marathons could not possibly work--half of the band members have small children. You'll have to think harder than THAT, O King! Try showing endless repeats of "SpiceWorld" and see if they break down. Jus' tryin' to be helpful. Today's discussion topic: compare and contrast EFO with Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem (from the Muppet Show). - --nicole twn is in a silly mood. *** "There is no such thing as a cow."--former CS prof, explaining graph theory Visit Nicolopolis! http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~carlsonn ICQ #11984736 Public PGP key at http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~carlsonn/key.html ncarlson@mail.arc.nasa.gov nmcarlson@ucdavis.edu ana.ng@tmbg.org ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Dec 1998 05:13:02 -0000 From: Art Garrenton Subject: RE: edheads: covers Lets not forget, "Green Acres".

My Girl, by the Temptations Do snippets count? These two are on Portable EFO Show: Book of Love, by the Monotones (at the beginning of Bookends) Lollipop, by the Chordettes (very end of disc 2) and there's a bunch of teases on the Search For Eddie's Skydiving Song show (Ram's Head, late October), including: Free Falling, by Tom Petty Believe It Or Not, by Joey Scarbury (theme to the TV show "The Greatest American Hero") plus a few others, but I don't have time to listen to the whole show again (I have an essay due tomorrow that I'm busily not writing, but I can't put it off forever...) Carolyn, how many do you have so far?

I rule over hundreds of thousands of squat-short portly beings who frolic with cute mammals and play with yarn. Whimper in fear or suffer my abominable wrath. A wrath that you shall all soon know. For I have declared war against all enemies of the state. That would include all that have not pledged their allegiance to me...THE OMNIPITENT RULER OF ALL THAT IS! You may be spared, however, from my odious, and most unpleasant fury. You must write this pledge: Gnomes are cute Gnomes are cuddly Gnomes can dance and sing We all play flute We all chant lovingly About our great Gnome King Give him gifts Give him glory Give him strength to rule For if we don't It will get real gory he'll impale us on a stool : This pledges your undying faithfulness to me...THE GREAT GNOME KING!...and condemns you to an adorable existence of servitude amongst the flowers and bunny rabbits. Now doesn't that sound reasonable? Either die horribly, begging on the ground, leg-less, while coughing on your own blood-saturated bile. Or simply pledge, and join my ever-growing dominion. The choice is yours. Oh...here comes my new court jester. Say a few words Robbie Pilgrimshue! Robbie: DON'T DO IT GUYS! YOU'LL END UP LIKE ME! TELLING STUPID JOKES TO LITTLE FAT DWARVES AND WEARING RAINBOW TIGHTS AND A HAT WITH LITTLE BELLS DANGLING FROM IT! ALL GIRLS WILL GO TO THE HAREM. YOU MUST FIGHT...YOU MUST FIGHT! FRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDOOOOM! : It's GNOMES you big, caterwauling, slave! Not Dwarves. I HATE that. Danny Devito is a Dwarf. I HATE Danny Devito. GUARDS! Take him back to his cell! And give him a fatal beating. Robbie: FRREEEEDDDOOM! Disregard what the giant has said this day. He is a criminal. He will know my great vengeance when the day finally comes. Anyway, send your pledges into my secretary and you shall be spared...oh yes. Spared from a horror that you cannot even begin imagine...or maybe you just don't want to. Ear wax really doesn't taste so bad with whip cream and vinegar The gnome king ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Dec 1998 12:32:08 EST From: "T Bone" Subject: Re: edheads: Dr. Teeth vs. EFO Compare and contrast Dr Teeth & the Electric Mayhem to EFO: Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem have a cooler set of wheels. (No disrespect to Harvey and all...but let's face facts.) Mike has more gold teeth than Dr. Teeth. Julie is way cuter than Janice. Eddie vs. Animal? That's one to consider... ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Dec 1998 19:30:43 -0600 From: Amy Mahon Subject: Re: edheads: covers perhaps i'm wrong, but i was at the show at the handlebar where the portable efo show was recorded but didn't they play a snippet from the theme to northern exposure? by the way, saw them recently at eddie's attic in decatur, ga. for anyone who's never been there, it's a great joint. live music (saw efo...nuff said), guinness on tap and a veggie burger on the menu. a man couldn't ask for more! anyone who is in or travels to georgia should check it out.
