Yes, I heard it hyped a whole lot, so I went to the library and got out a 
Flying Circus VHS.  It was "How To Recognize Different Parts Of The Body". I 
thought it was the single strangest thing I had ever seen.  Eventually, though, 
I rented as many videos as possible, and got the 14 disc set.

I was already partially familiar with them, because I was an 8th grade Rutles 
fanatic... (try suckering 40 bucks out of your mom for the Rutles album - I 
just wanted the book! :-)
