YES! I consider the Lymph Node Institute to be the *ne plus ultra* of the FUNHOUSE, and this classic episode proves that abundantly. Strap in for a perilous intellectual journey that takes you crashing through the looking glass and plunging straight down a yawning rabbit hole into the very bowels of conspiracy theories, fractured histories, and paranoid fantasies! The diligent doktors delve into the esoteric mystique and enduring mystery of Hassan i Sabbah and his fabled Hashishin, the origin of the term "assassin" and the thematic foundation of Wilson & Shea's ILLUMINATUS! trilogy. Doc and Bugsy piece together a detailed mosaic using the words and works of Hakim Bey, William S. Burroughs, the Four Horsemen, Brian Ritchie, Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR, and the Butthole Surfers, leavening the whole heavy, hellish mix with a visceral explanation of the philosophy of killing from Lars von Trier's film DOGVILLE, the horrific 1984 assassination of our own High Epopt "Bob" (one of many)--and, as always, the brutally incisive insights of Doc P. Ellis and Dr. Bugbladder.
