NANCY:
Also known as Melanie Haber, Audrey Farber, Susan
Underhill,and... Betty Jo Bialowsky! NICK DANGER's old college beau,
in "Cut 'em off at the Past!". Her name is a BEATLES reference.
Tom Teslacle names his "Automated Pushover" after Nancy, based on
TESLACLE'S DEVIANT, a corollary to FUDD'S LAW, in BOZO.
Also, in British Slang Nancy is a prostitute or loose woman. "Comes in
and goes out like anything!"
NASI GOERING:
An FT song. Also a type of dutch food, apparently:
Nasi Goreng..."A Spicy Dutch Treat" Indonesian Rice, vegetables and pork, with a fried egg and Kroepoek
NICK DANGER:
A private-eye, made popular in the FT play,"Nick Danger,
Third Eye", on the TWO PLACES album, and in the video episode, "The
Case 0f the Missing YOLKS". His Japanese counterpart is YOUNG GUY,
Motor Detective! He is tied to George TIREBITER via ANCHOVIES,
which George doesn't like on his PIZZAs. He is also tied to BOZOs
when the Whisperin' Squash suggests to CLEM that he could "Cut Em'
Off at the Past". Parts of the "Cut 'Em Off at the Past" episode are
conjectured to have been influenced by Philip K. Dicks 1962 novel,
_The Man In The High Castle_, which also used the I CHING.
NOT INSANE:
The reason you should have voted for PAPOON, rather than
those other BERZERKERS and BOZOS. He's not insane! Refers also to
the FT's album of the same name. Crazy ROCKY also said, "I'm not
insane!" in the YOLKS video.
The 1960 Lenny Bruce album "Togetherness" contains a bit called "Our
Governers." On it, Lenny does a surreal take on a supposedly real
comment made by "Gov. Long" (probably Earl Long of Louisiana). The gov.
apparently said, on the campaign trail, "I'M NOT A NUT!!!!!!--which
Lenny really admires as a political slogan, adding: "I DON'T WET THE
Also: George McGovern's original 1972 running mate, Thomas Eggleton, who
was dropped from the ticket when revelations of earlier psychiatric
analysis came out. The comments at the time referred to the fact that
whatever had been wrong with him had been cured...thus he was now
diagnosed as "Not Insane".
