Ed, you of all people, I thought would have recognized that one.
It's from the 'all hail (Groucho) Marx & (John) Lennon', Album (How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all-oops), flip side of Nick Danger. (Isn't it?)
I’ve always taken it as an, about, quadruple entendre, about miscommunication similar to, the sort to which (I thought) TR refered.
Like speaking too loud to a blind person, or someone speaking another language, in hopes that increased volume will somehow help them understand what you mean.
The lesson I've taken from it is a, show don't explain, kind of deal.

Jay,
a quick listen to the first side of THE FIRESIGN THEATRE PRESENTS HOW CAN YOU BE IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE WHEN YOU'RE NOT ANYWHERE AT ALL ? and I didn't come up with the phrase... but I'll try to find it.
sure it not on the second side?

Ed, actually I've just been looking, now I'm not sure where it's from. I don't haqve the tapes or the song book up here at my fortress of solitude/aka the armbar ranch.
Now I think It's from the one that starts with the Turkish lesson (Don't Crush that Dwarf hand me the pliers (?)) I think it's from the part about being incarcerated in a foreign land; " I started out writing in my own blood but, as this would not make an acceptable carbon, I aguired an electric typewriter."
Hopefully I'll uncover a clip.
IF only Clean Dan was here to help us. -we'd be asleep by now!

I'm pretty sure it's not on the Marx/Lennon record.
I only know it from the climb name, over by Little Wing.
I assumed the climbers came up with it on their own.
Will be pleased to be proved wrong.

2. stop saying things. just walk the talk and shut up.
Isn't there some type of irony in actually posting that? Personally, I like talking AND walking. Often simulatneously. I often enjoy spray and spew, both giving and taking. Is that so wrong?

Jaybro, you can't knock success, but you still put me through too many changes...
Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him
"Going up!"
-russian question-
"Oh excuse me but my friend would like to know how much you enjoy our city so far"
"Actually I haven't been here too long."
-translated to french-
-russian response-
"Oh, uh, he want to know, yes or no?"
"Well tell him yes, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CITY"
-russian-
"He says 'He can shout; don't hear you!'
Have you seen the palace?"
"Not yet, but I certainly intend..."
"Oh you must! You must! It wont be here much longer, you know they are cleaning it."
-russian question-
"Are you alone?"
"Yes"
"No, we are here with you"
"Oh, I see what you mean, ah, no"
"Yes, how many are we?"
"Here? ehh, three"
"You don't want to count the elevator boy?"
"Yeah"
"Three or four?"
"Ffffour"
"But of course there is your family"
"But, but there not traveling with me"
"Where?"
"Where I'm going"
"But you're here! Ahhh, how many?"
"Four, with, with the elevator boy"
"Ahhh, he is in your family"
"No, here"
"And here we are..."
and the clip

You're the damn man, Ed! I was completly off base on the context.
When I go to restauraunts with either, or both of my brothers' family and the Host asks "how many?"
We ALWAYS get an 'elevator boy' joke in there.
The russian is just what is translated, btw. I would guess the french is dead on, as well.
Please, excuse the drift, T*R.

So much of their stuff is so far ahead of the curve, even when it sounds, ostensibly, nostalgic.
"Double click on memory, doctor." from what? 1975?
I really thought "Boom dot Bust," right before the silicon crash was prophetic to the point of presceince (sp?).

yo
we are talking about The Firesign Theatre, something out of our youth which has survived to this very day in an intact form...
...they have been nattering on and on since the mid 70's, now going on 30 years.
The line in question above happens to have been appropriated as a name for a climb:
He Can't Shout, Don't Hear You 5.7 Little Wing Area FA 1974 Bob Ashworth Jeff Stubbs
They are a subversive element, clowns whose comedic style sometimes masks the cutting criticism of our society.
While many references may be dated, they are dead on...
...the noise you hear at the begining of this clip is a "rotary phone" being dialed... and then you get the punch line...
Get them and listen... perhaps the "radio show" idiom is too slow for you i/o saturated youngin's, I think it would be worth a listen.

(this was to tar two posts up, I'm a slow typer/thinker)
Sounds like another 'cave,' analogy rumbling.
Grant us the power to enjoy part of the time we are funny
and live through the time we are not funny
and let others enjoy the time we are funny but don't know it
and give us the sense
to knott have to know which is which.

alright, i was driftin' into the cave analogy:
Trite?
You betcha.
so there's this cave i'm in.
then there's this fire behind me.
never mind turnin' to look into the fire.
i can't tell the shadows from the walls.
so i'm tryin' super hard just to see if there's a wall behind the shadows.
meanwhile, if i'm lucky, ed will tune in fireside theater for some good, wholesome distraction.
(louder please ed)

oh, look "for".
jeepers, i thought we were encouraged to stop looking at what the traces of illumination were casting on the walls and turn around to behold the source.
my gist was, and here i am tryin' to peel a shadow off the wall, all desperate and scientific and whatnot, to get behind that.
oh- some rolling stone ditty kieth richard's sings,
something like:
-just sittin' here in the rain with my babee, tryin to put this jigsaw puzzle together...

Well, the clock says it's time to close now

Still one place to go
