I have the feeling that dead addict was watching an old rerun of
'The Day After' on cable and before that aired, '7 Days' with an ape
at the Washington D.C. Zoo playing with the nuclear briefcase.

A full night of nuclear holocaust on television! ;)

The one bit of signal in weeks from the DC-Stuff list from the
thousand bits of noise...

for all its simplistic flaws, you saw it here first [ie: all flaws the
fault of DA]

when i was a kid, i remember nuclear fire drills...

i remember a joke, an analogy to the mutual distruction global nuclear
policy/stalemate - the

countries of the world [nuclear powers] are people in a room of gasoline,
waste deep.  every nuclear power in the room holds a match.

in the internet infowarware scenario, the stakes are similar, except there
are millions of potential  matchholders instead of handfuls.
