Talk:Everything You Know Is Wrong

I got "mind-boggler" from IMdB. I apologize if I misquoted the album, which I do not own a copy of at present. Perhaps they say both? Richard K. Carson 05:12, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I added a small correction to the opening quotes. I'm 98% certain that there is a "That's right!" before "Everything you know is wrong. I can't play the album anymore since my turntable died, but I must have listened to it 5000 times in college, and I can hear the "that's right" in my head. I also remember that I thought it funny the statement that it was "right" that everything you know is wrong. Typical Firesign infinite verbal loop.

I'M going to park this text here for a while because I don't have it quite right. It's missing a couple of lines - but I don't want to put it on the man page without it being correct:

Narrator: "What to do if an alien appears!" Drill Sargent: "One!" Narrator: "Drop under the seat of your plane and look away!" Drill Sargent: "Two!" Narrator: Avoid eye contact! Drill Sargent: Three!" Narrator: If there are no eyes, avoid all contact."

Vignette from the "secret" film then is heard:

-sounds of low conversation and clinking of glass, scraping of flatware against plates - as would be heard around a breakfast table.

General: "Um, Honey....and men, I have something awesome to reveal to you!"

Man: "What is it sir?"

Honey: "Yes dear, what is it? Go ahead.".

General: Two flying saucers have just landed.....on my plate."

-background "eating" noises stop completely (as if the table occupants are in shock). A chirping bird, followed by the resumption of the low conversation and eating noises - as if the occupants of the table are just going to ignore what the general just said.

General: "Men! Our greatest fear is realized! We are under attack by a superior consciousness!"

- more silence and bird chirping.

Man: The...uh.....eggs sir?

General: "Let's just call them, the phenomena" -sounds of urgent murmuring around the table Man: "If I may respectfully submit, I think you've got your phenomena scrambled General".

General: That's right! And they're only the beginning.

General: Alright men! Questions!? Questions !?

Chuck: "Uhhhh....pass the uhh....syrup General?"

General: "That's a good idea Chuck! BUT SYRUP WON'T STOP 'EM!!"

-furtive conversation around table...

Honey: "What about my eggs dear?"

General: "Honey, they're in everybodies eggs."

-Sound of scene fades, Honey crying softly, General comforting her.

Drill Sargent: "Conclusion!" Narrator: "They think he is insane, yet he outranks them. His option: Command! He seals off the area! Secures the support of local officials, and bombs aliens back to stone age!"

Name of a character

The cover (box) of the videotape has "Reebus Caneebus" - not "Rebus Cannibus" as in the article - and the Firesign web site agrees. Paul 22:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Government training film

OK, I bought the album on CD for my first listen since college (a loooong time ago), so now I have the wording right for the "film". I'm adding it to the page.
