[lbo-talk] Zappa, Cheepnis (Roxy & Elsewhere)...

[Mike Ballard]

Cheepnis... lemme tell you something: do you like
monster movies, anybody?  (YEEAAH!) I love monster
movies, I simply adore monster movies. And the cheaper
they are, the better they are. And cheapness, in the
case of a monster movie, has nothing to do with the
budget of the film --- although it helps -- but true
cheapness is exemplified by visible nylon strings
attached to the jaw of the giant spider... I'll
tell you a good one that I saw one time, I think the
title of the film was "It Conquered the World!", did
you ever see that one? The monster looked sort of like
an inverted ice-cream cone, with teeth around the
bottom... and it's got fangs on the base of it, I
don't know why, but it's a very threatening sight..
then it's got a frown and, y'know, ugly mouth and
everything... and there is one scene where the monster
is coming out of a cave, see? There is always a scene
where they come out ofa cave, at least once... and
they always have a little revolver that they're gonna
shoot the monster with, and there's always a girl
who falls down and twists her ankle...  now, in this
particular scene, folks, they ah, they didn't want to
re-take it 'cause it must have been so good they
wanted to keep it, but... when the monster is coming
out of the cave, just over the left-hand side of the
screen you can see about this much two-by-four
attached to the bottom of the Thing as the guy is
pushing it out... and then, obviously off camera,
somebody is going "No! Get it back!"... and they drag
it back just a little bit as the guy is going KRCH! 
KRCH!...

Now that's cheepnis.
