I made same mistake of reading, thinking "God's teeth, do I need a dare
of the hog" (which is a probably mis-quote from "Sir Henry of Rawlinson
End".)
During the years from about '83 to '89 we would play the Sir Henry tape
and the SubGenius MediaBarrage tapes whenever we were drinking or
otherwise, I suspect it still influences me and the others to this day.
