Firesign Theatre Lexicon [A]

ALVARADO: {PICO}'s sidekick, as in "It's Pico and Alvarado". From the
streets Pico and Alvarado in Los Angeles. PICO and ALVARADO are both
{BEANERS}. They are featured in the plays {BOZOS},{DWARF}, as well as
others. {NICK DANGER} had to swim down Alvarado to his convertable
during a severe rain storm. Pico and Alvarado sometimes like to
yell, "{PARK} it and Lock it! Not Responsible!"

AMES: Harry Ames, Jr. A fictional actor who portrays Lieutenant
{BRADSHAW} on the {NICK DANGER} series. There is also a Gun
Salesman names Ed Ames, who runs the "Ames Guns" store in {DWARF}.

ANCHOVIES: Small fish with beady little eyes. We first encounter
anchovies in {DWARF}, when George Tirebiter calls a {PIZZA} parlor
(note the name of the pizza joint he calls):

GEORGE [mumbling]: Let's see...Ocelots. Paupers. Pipe-nipples,
Polombras, Pizzas! Armenian Gardens...Hank's Juggernaut...
New Leviathan...Nick's Swell...
SOUND: HE PICKS UP THE PHONE AND DIALS. THE NEWSCAST GOES ON.
< Broadcast deleted>
GEORGE [phoning]: Uh, this is George Tirebiter, Camden N 200 R.
[pause] Uh, I want to order a pizza to go, and no anchovies.
[pause] What ? [clicks phone] Oh, man! Nobody will come
up here at all!

Apparently, Tirebiter mistakenly called {NICK DANGER}, in the
episode, "Cut 'Em Off at the Past". On that album, we hear the
same conversation, but from the other side of the phone:

ANNOUNCER: He walks in! He's ready for mystery...he's ready for
excitement! He's ready for anything...he's...
SOUND: TELEPHONE PICKED UP
NICK: Nick Danger, Third Eye!
GEORGE: (ON FILTER) Uh-I wanna order a pizza to go, and no
anchovies.
NICK: No anchovies? You've got the wrong man. I spell
my name...Danger! [click]
GEORGE: (FILTER) What?
MUSIC: "NICK DANGER" THEME IN AND UNDER.

Note: This is a direct quote from the "Big Mystery" Joke book, and
so the attribution of "GEORGE" to the guy on the other side of the
phone is the FT's, not an inference (some people thought it was
the voice of the teenage Porgie that called Nick).

In another episode of Nick Danger, "The case of the Missing Yolks"
(Video), and the "Three faces of Al" (album), Rocky {ROCOCO} calls
up Nick at the start of the play, and turns everything around:

ROCKY: I want to order an anchovy to go, and hold the pizza.
NICK: Anchovies?
ROCKY: Yeah, those little black things, with eyes!
NICK: You've got the wrong man. I spell my name
(LOOKS BACK AT THE DOOR) ...REGNAD.

ANTELOPE FREEWAY: A {LOS ANGELES} Freeway, north of the
{SAN FERNANDINO} valley towards Palmdale. Used to demonstrate
{ZENO'S PARADOX} in the {TWO PLACES} album.

ARTIE CHOKE: A {HOLOGRAM} in the FT's {BOZO} play. Artie, the Lonesome
Beet and the Whisperin' Squash were all once intended to be characters
in an FT western radio show, featuring an all-vegetable cast.

AUSTIN: Philip Austin, one of the FT members.
