bad mixing that signal a live performance:
Iвm gonna bring you right back some day.
Though you may be far away,
I can always pull a little stunt
That the folks call "epochЋ"
"EpochЋ?" Sarvaduhka took his eyes off the
road?me, a flat, black triangle long as
the desert, wide as the squareback here,
beetling to a point out there, and dotted
with my Bottвs dot vertebrae?to frown at
Izzy. "Did the Haymaker say epochЋ, Izzy?"
"Shut up! I gotta hear this."
Take a long lost dadвs advice:
Though yore mamaвs Guldang nice,
Save a little bit of love for
yodelodelayhee-me!
Just then Izzyвs beeper went off. Iвd
never seen one before. I donвt think
anyone had at that time. But Izzyвs was
beeping. "Not good," he said. He pulled it
out of his belt, then held it up close.
"Four degrees Kelvin. Shit. Itвs up a
whole degree. Heвs actually tried it."
"Tried what?"
"EpochЋ, for crissakes. What have we been
talking about?salami? Sarvaduhka, whoвs
President?"
"McCarthy. Why?"
"McCarthy? Still? What color is the
American flag?"
"Red, white, and yellow."
"Unchanged. Okay. This wasnвt the big one.
He didnвt manage it. And Melвs still here
beside us. Okay. Good. We got time.
