San Jose, CA Lines: 17 I was watching 'Galaxina' the other night and noticed several instances of meta-humor. The heroes of the movie are in search of something called the "blue stone." Everytime anyone mentions the blue stone there is an offstage chorus of "do-ah." At one point in time the bad guy reports "You've lost the blue stone" ", what is this shit, is mine?" Later on our heroes have been captured by a bunch of throw-backs to the fifties and the do-ah's become very reminiscent of the chorus' so popular then. At yet another point one of our heroes make some statement about the blue stone and everybody stops talking waiting for the chorus and nothing happens. There was a general look of relief when he repeated the statement and the chorus returns. -- David W. Berry {ucbvax,pyramid,idsvax,bene,oliveb}!tolerant!berry I'm only here for the beer.
