Cak!

Cak! is a 1982 live comedy album by Alexei Sayle. This was his first album, although he had contributed previously to The Comic Strip's compilation album from 1981. The album consists of spoken word segments and songs. "Song for Len" is about Leonard Cohen. In the "Dire Straits" sketch from Alexei Sayle's Stuff, a copy of Cak! and The Fish People Tapes can be seen on the record shelves.

gollark: It's... kind of inelegant, but something like this should work:```pythonimport threadingimport timeauthorized = Falsedef thing(): if correct_passcode_entered(): authorized = Truethreading.Thread(target=thing).start()time.sleep(5)if not authorized: sound_alarm()```
