The center of attention -- a fashionably wan, cigarette-smoking ex-con known as Phiber Optik -- shows up an hour late, even though the party is in his honor. Phiberphest '95, they're calling it. Onstage is a band called Foamola, consisting of a bald male organist, a homeless man playing what appear to be a pair of rocks and a female vocalist who yowls, "When I read a book, I always read Balzac!/ When I take a drug, I always take Prozac!"

...turkeys had graced the emblem of our great seals instead of eagles, we might not enjoy their succulent flesh every year in November. We don't exactly feast on bald eagles, who weren't always an endangered species, on any special day. But maybe bald eagles taste really good, and we just don't know.
