system. AhClem repeatedly calls Dr. Memory "Mac" - which far predates the current
Apple computer line; but the MIT AI lab, where the Doctor program originated,
grew out of Project Mac (for Machine Aided Cognition and/or Multiple Access
Computer)

Dr.
Beddoes Pneumatic Institute:
|
|
|
- From the book, Cannabis, a History by Martin Booth, and
came upon the following passage:
At the forefront
of the drug-taking writers was Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Addicted
to opium when still a young man, he was not adverse to experimenting
with other drugs, partly in the vain hope that he might subsitute
one for opium. Among his circle of addicted friends was Dr.
Thomas Lovell Beddoes, a physcian for whom drugs were of hedonistic
as well professional interest. Based in Bristol, where he ran
the Pneumatic Instituion in the fashionable area of Clifton,
a clinic for respiratory and other illnesses in which patients
inhaled various gases as a cure. Beddoes gathered about him
others who shared his interest.

DWARF:
|
|
|
- "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers": An FST play about
the life of the EVERYMAN George TIREBITER. The title appears to be
a marijuana reference. "Dwarf" is slang for a marijuana cigarette
which has been almost completely consumed (ie, "roach") and the
"pliers" are pliers or any other device which can be used to hold the
dwarf by the very end in order to consume the rest of the cigarette
("roach clip"). Hence, "don't crush that nearly-consumed marijuana
cigarette, hand me a pair of pliers (so that I can smoke the rest)."
This could also be tied in to Hal Roach, the famous producer of old
silent comedies, who only recently died at the age of 100+. He is given
a brief mention at the end of "Dwarf", when TIREBITER'S secretary
indicates that Mr. Roach had left a message, along with Laurel & Hardy,
Harpo Marx ("Honk! Honk!- he would leave his name..") The FT sometimes
refer to a "Hot Roach Studios", which they presumably ran.
The liner notes for the "Dwarf" CD mentions that the original title
for Dwarf was "We'll be Heironymus Bosch in Jest a Minute, but Faust..."
indicating connections between the play and the man who "sold out" to
the devil, as well as the nature of interruptions as a part of life.
ROCKY ROCOCO, the nemesis of NICK DANGER, is a dwarf:
CATHER: "Nancy, who's that ugly dwarf with his hand in your mouth?"
ROCKY: "Rocky Rococo, at your cervix!"
