	T: This, as you might have guessed, is the end of the movie. The entire cast is assembled here at the Centerville Recreational Facility to bid farewell

From: Vladimir Sovetov <sova@kpbank.ru> Early in the movie the placed was called by Larry the Dwarf The Reorientational Facility ( erected to bring about the final solution to the orchestra question ), the lecture goes like this:
Hello there... When you go on tour with musical group it's possible that any town [can? be? seen?] like this, whatever it's large or small or busy or nothing happend in it. The reason for this is quit simple. A musician if you consider the normal pattern of modern civilized life is on the outside of the road. He doesn't build things, he doesn' work regular hours like a decent God-fearing citizens and the life he leads in many ways seems useless and irrelevant to those of us who prefered a quiet evening in front of the television and a bottle of beer .
Amazing as it might seems to some of us musician's basical physical needs are just like [of?] real people. Many of them study for years, learnig to play the violin, for instance, only to be rewarded with humdrum job in the forth row of the symphonic string section. That's why the goverment have constructed at great expanse this experimental reorientation facility to find the way perhaps to retrain this useless musicians with brown fiddles and horns the reasons to exist in modern world, a chance of happy and more productive life, some will enter to the military, some will learn shorthand and some will disappear in the middle of the night on the special training assigned to them.
So it seems that when time comes for Joe's Garage the main idea was ten years old.

	and the one with the horse.
From: "David G. Walley" <dgwalley@bcn.net> This refers to porno magazines and his invitation to sexually enjoy yourself....literally ;-)))); ie. go out and enjoy yourself after watching 200 Motels

From: windt@physics.att.com (David Windt) In the (instrumental) MAJNH version of this song, when they get to the end of this verse, right after the word "horse", Walt Fowler plays that little trumpet diddy that they play at the racetrack, you know, when they announce "The horses are on the track..."

	M&H: The Swedish apparatus with a hood and a bludgeon with a microwave oven. "Honey, how do it feel"
From: Vladimir Sovetov <sova@kpbank.ru> Accordingly to the Keith Moon, dressed up like Nun in the movie, this is special means to make your cock monstrous enough.
Also comment from Howard Kayla himself
DON'T THEY CONJURE UP A FUNNY OR BIZARRE IMAGE? THEY DON'T MEAN ANYTHING.

	M&H: We're all going to get wasted. We're all going to get twisted. We're all going to get wasted.

	We're all going to get twisted. H: And I am definitely going to get. . .

	M&H REAMED
From: Charles Ulrich <ulrich@sfu.ca> ...I think it's more likely that getting "out of it", "bent", "reamed", "wasted", and "twisted" all referred to getting drunk on alcohol and/or stoned on marijuana. But in 1970 I was thirteen years old and unfamiliar with most of these terms, so I'm basing my interpretation on later usage and on context.
From: "David G. Walley" <dgwalley@bcn.net> Yes, absolutely correct!

	Jm: A disaster area the size of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
