"Historical period?"  Wow.  Soon I'll start going on about how we had to
walk miles on end in a driving blizzard in our bare feet just to see
Television, and after that we'd still have the chores to do, and then our
fathers would beat us to a bloody pulp and wake us up a half hour before we
went to bed...
Well, it's an Ubu-ism I picked up referring more or less to "before 
the first breakup."  But yes, you fans of that time had it rough, 
with your shoebox apartments at the bottom of the Hudson, having to 
eat broken glass and nails, and having to clean the Bowery with your 
tongues before Hilly would let you in.  And I'll tell you another 
thing--you try telling that to  young people these days, buying their 
tickets over their intrawebnet thingy, and they don't believe you.
