Show Description

[ Courtesy: David Goldin - 12-30-2008 ]   
  A mail order offer for dog burial services. Holding one's liquor at a Christmas party. A "news bulletin" interrupts the celebration: atomic war has broken out with Russia. Slipping obscene sugestions into a woman's show commercial copy.

  [02:38] We are almost at the end of 1974.

[02:;46] We had an unusual reaction from last night's show, from the show that involved the devil.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
