Sounds also like an homage to Fred's experience in "The Man called Flintstone."
Anyway, I'm glad I got to this before the dates doth expire.

And the race contiunes. Wonder who will win?
Author's Response: That, to coin a phrase, is in the hands of the Fates. ;-)

* "Tea-time Movie" was a skit that spoofed mid-afternoon television programs that showed vintage movies. Only for the TV commercials, advertising local businesses, to get more air time than the movies, themselves. Sort of a precursor to the modern "info-mercial." Anyway, one of the running gags featured Johnny (as "Art Fern") stating:
"How do you get to Non-existent Company, you ask? Well, you take the L.A. Freeway to the Santa Monica Freeway to the Slosson Cut-off. Get out of your car; cut off your slosson; get back in your car; then keep on driving till you come to..."
Here, the audience would join in as Johnny lifted up a folded-over piece of cardboard on the silly road map, and shouted...
"...THE FORK IN THE ROAD!"
Painted-on kitchen fork included.
