"Dogs flew space ships! The Aztecs invented the vacation! Men and Women are the same sex! Our forefathers took drugs! Your brain is not the boss!". Great news! Famed dare-demon Reebus Cannibus is going to perform his greatest stunt ever! A leap down the bottomless comet pit to the center of the Earth! Join the fabulous Firesign Theatre for another of their mind-bending journeys as they explore the alien uprising in our midst! Dr. Happy Harry Cox is our guide under the watchful eye of mild-mannered trailer park manager, and member of the Funny Name Club of America, Art Wholeflaffer, as he presents all seekers (one born every minute!) with the key evidence proving the thesis that Everything You Know is Wrong! All the evidence you need is here: The eyewitness account of respected law enforcement official Sheriff Lugar Axehandle, old newspaper clippings from the Hellmouth/Heater Democrat, psychic messages from Nino the Great Mind-Boggler, and of course, the secret stolen government training film on what to do in case of an alien attack. As often is the case, this performance from the Firesign Theatre defies a liner synopsis. The recording takes the form of another record produced by conspiracy theorist and "seeker" Dr. Harry Cox as he tries to tie together evidence of extraterrestrial visits to earth from old recordings, films, newspaper articles and interviews, all while besieged by interruptions from his various acquaintances and hangers-on. It presents an alternate history where the American revolution was fomented by a bunch of hemp-smoking dope-heads, and where the South won the Civil War; because, of course, Everything You Know is Wrong. Besides being a general aural feast, the record contains a great deal of sharp but subtle social satire, much of which is only gleaned after several listenings. So if you were never a special person, you are a special person now. But be careful, because they're in everybody's eggs.
