MR. NORMAL'S SCORPION STORY,
SO OFTEN REQUESTED BY THE FANS, DOES APPEAR complete in this episode-- an incredible tale from artist David Normal, who in a far-off jungle during a torrential monsoon did his best, while encamped, to keep dry. And refuge from the rain was also sought by another. David relates how, lying in his bedroll, he unexpectedly felt something large and many-jointed, which had found the driest place for itself-- in his shorts, sheltering under his Family Jewels. The Red Scorpion of Asia and India (Mesobuthus tamulus) is one of the world's deadliest scorpions, with stings representing a life-threatening medical emergency. This species is distributed throughout the Indian sub-continent, including eastern Pakistan, eastern Nepal, and Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon or Taprobane. Guest speaker David had to deal with this unwanted visitor after waking up. Hear what happened. Much is here from the great audio creations of Stan Freberg. The show also features poetry by Tolkien and Clark Ashton Smith among others. We delve deeper into the mysterious Book of Imaginary Beings. We also include many and varied musical selections of unusual quality. Three hours of this, dear fiends. Heh, heh heh... The Scorpion Story occurs at 02:49:05.
