I'm only marginally familiar with their oeuvre

What little I know of the Firesign Theater comes through the Sadlynocracy, and more specifically through actor212 launching into routines on the slightest provocation.

Principal Poop Advises:

Plenty wordplay & examination of Yankee absurdity. And L.A.-centric. Get an insight into just how weird we try to be here.

Don't let A-200 dissuade you.

Couple audio selections. Anniv. special.

We were surprised to hear Bergman reading the news (straight) wknd. nights on one of the local all-news outlets in 2008 & 2009. (Probably needed money for treatment. Yeesh.)

Speaking as someone who has switched that little chromium switch (more than once) (good thing I'm not superstitious), Mr Bergman, you will be missed.
