Firesign Theater. Remember that the original "Giant Rat of Sumatra"
reference was in the Sherlock Holmes story, "The Adventure of the Sussex
Vampire".

As all us good Sherlockians  know, Arthur Conan Doyle was merely the
editor of Dr. Watson's factual narratives, not a writer of fiction.

weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners.
