JF: Countdown to the Program... Checklist... TEN! JF: Your ten fingers reach into the air. NINE! JF: You wiggle your nine toes in anticipation. JL: Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention! They Might Be Giants have just crash-landed their glass bottom car into the control tower at Jim Baker International Airport! EIGHT! JF: Already you've forgotten what you ate for dinner. A creeping numbness consumes you. JL: This just in: the human egg has been sighted plummeting from the sky. Scientists standing by to assure us that nothing is wrong have already been found murdered in their laboratories! SEVEN! JF: Seven members of the group They Might Be Giants have quit the band over bitter disagreements about the introduction to tonight's show. SIX! JF: You begin to feel six. JL: Flash! Professor Psychofuckup, arrested and convicted of gate-crashing the show tonight, has hung himself by his watchband in his prison cell. He is listed in perfect condition. FIVE! JF: Your five senses swell as you realize that history is not being made tonight. Rather, it is being consumed by a creeping numbness standing next to you. FOUR! JF: No one seems to know what this is for. JL: Overturned tractor trailers rubbernecking bumper to bumper! THREE! JF: Only three seconds remain until They Might Be Giants hits the stage, over and over again. TWO! JF: It's time "two" sit back and make way for the ONE! JF: band that can overcome the ZERO! JF: in their bank account. I don't mean to be the NEGATIVE ONE! JF: but you'd be NEGATIVE TWO! JF: if it weren't for the fabulous show you're about to enjoy. Ladies and gentlemen, make way for They Might Be Giants! |
