SYNTHIA: "Electric Twister Acid Test." What WERE they thinking?

SLIDERULES: Well, obviously of a play on "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," Tom Wolfe's account of the 1960s psychedelic movement. An acid test is a "decisive or critical test, as of worth or quality," hence, the title refers to the catastrophic unleashing of the electromagnetic tornadoes.

SYNTHIA: Well yes, but... right.

BLINKER: As long as we're riffing on controversial texts of the late sixties, I'm going with "The Naked Twister."

SYNTHIA [barely suppressing urge to snicker]: Uh... and I'll say "Eye of the Desert Storm."
