One of our most esteemed contributors goes by the name of "ah...Clem".
I was greatly intrigued by his signature: "The future is fun, the future is fair." so
I googled it (as you do).
Imagine my delight and amazement (actually no need to imagine it if you
don't want to) when I retrieved not only a reference to the signature but
the very origins of ah...Clem's moniker!
"I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus" is a comedy album from 1971 (which somehow makes me think Walt might be a few years older than most 30-year-olds), and Uh, Clem is apparently one of the major characters.
Furthermore, recorded voices are on the bus saying:
"The future is fun! ... The future is fair! ... You may already have won! ... You may already be there!"
I would kind of find those voices irritating so I might well choose not to ride this bus. However, if I was able to sit next to Paul/Walt/Clem and
chat about AI in backgammon with him, I think that would amply
compensate me for having to bear the extraneous voices.

Anyway, if you'd like thirty nine minutes and twelve seconds extracted
from your future (which is allegedly both fun and fair) you can listen here:
