During breakfast

I finished browsing

An article in the

"Communications of the ACM"

And happened to notice

That the first person mentioned

In the author's acknowledgments

Was a Bob Balaban

I thought about how that

Was also an obscure actor's name

Right after breakfast

I started checking through

The almost three hours of four

Amazing Stories episodes

That I had taped last night

The first full episode

Featured a familiar name

Playing the main character:

Bob Balaban
