	Joe announces what's coming on tonight's show: global leaders
rigged up as marionettes, the Red Army Chorus, Bruno of Vienna, Bog
Man (a 100,000 year old corpse preserved in a peat bog), the Yaco
(sp?) people of Guam who have bred with teak trees, thus becoming very
hard...

	3:40: Somebody tells about the Kapts, a people in ancient
Turkey who kidnapped others.  Because no one else lived there they
kidnapped inanimate objects, then each other.

	6:20: Joe tells about his favorite wrestler, Mr Capital, a
predatory capitalist who perpetrates all the common crimes of
Capitalists.  He bought all the organic farms on Long Island,
converting them to a theme park, Dreamland.  He has a sequence of
surreal experiences, including throwing a little girl who floats into
space.

	18:20: Joe calls his bank's automated telephone service, finds
his balance is $1.62.

	19:30:  Joe talks about kidnapping.

	24:50: Joe tells of Dr Ostrowksy (sp?) and his wife.  He has a
sequence of surreal experiences, visits Dreamland, which has fallen
into disrepair.

	36:40: Joe tells of a punk band's recording session that ends
up with such a severe anthrax outbreak that authorities detonate a
small nuclear weapon, killing 200,000, to stop the spread of.

	45:20: People (3? including 1 woman) tell how much ransom was
paid for them when they were held hostage.

	52:00: Joe calls the White House switchboard, can't talk to
the president.

	53:00: Joe talks to a Yaco person: he's hard.

	54:20: Joe eats the sweetmeat recovered from Bog Man.

Cast: David Franks, William Reinert, Grace Zabriskie, Stanley, and Joe
Frank (according to 1 source)

	What do you think?

'Shawshank redemption') in 'Dreamland'; his character uses a rock
hammer in 'Escape from paradise'.
