Notes:

-Pernod vesion is on HD, CDR is udg
-Before Auctioneer, a long but un-remarkable story of Caroline & the underwater town and the guy who digs a 1300' deep well.
-Before ITEOTWAWKI, in MS's 2nd installment of Let's talk about..."Let's talk about the stock market.  That's on everybody's mind today isn't it?  Seems like a strange day in hell when the stock market makes the front page over the Persian Gulf, doesn't it?  Seems like you're supposed to have a crash, folowed by a 10 year depression, which is brought out by a war.  Doesn't seem like they're supposed to happen on the same day does it? (ed. note: MS is making an impression as the taper says at this point 'never thought of that') Let's talk about the Soviet Union for a while.  Seems like Russia is the newest fashion statement.  Let's talk about television evangelism for a while.  Big deal.  Let's talk about Burger King and the tearing down of the rain forest in Brazil for a while shall we?  Cocaine and sports figures.  Let's talk about the San Andreas Fault for a while shall we?  Let's have a party tonight, shall we?" (laughs maniacally)  During the interlude he adds "Let's talk about (?) for a while.  Let's talk about the writer.  Let's talk about music.  Let's talk about your feelings on many various subjects".
-Before See No Evil, MS issues his standard late-show announcements.  See No Evils botched near the beginning, and MS re-issues his late show announcements but adds "Please don't throw things at the performers and don't support Miller Beer or Budweiser because they both suck".
