Thanks, I meant to note their misspelling- going by the audio it's definitely three syllables, not Tesler's. I stop to wonder if it was intentionally Bowdlerized, he said redundantly.In the link in Sluggo's original post Teslacles is spelled Tesler's (Fudd's First Law of Opposition: If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. Tesler's Deviant to Fudd's Law: It goes in -- it must come out.). Teslacles could either be a spoof on the name of the famous yet eccentric scientist Nikola Tesla, or on a certain pair of parts of the male anatomy, making the name sound like a Greek character. Knowing The Firesign Theatre, I'd suspect the second.
Are most things, being said only once, dundant?
And knowing Firesign, I suspect both meanings.
Larry, how'd you like the Retro-Encabulator? I had you in mind there but maybe you already knew it...
