||||||||| Catherwood re-enters the Waiting Room and explains "This is the main discussion room which is logged each night."
||||||||| Catherwood announces, "The time is 4:33 AM - I now declare Thursday's chat log for August 23, 2007 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood intones: "6:37 AM and late as usual, it's bronowski, just back from Hellmouth."
bronowski: how did you know
||||||||| bronowski leaves to catch the 6:40 AM train to New Delhi.
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood snorts derisively: "10:31 AM and late as usual, it's Firebroiled, just back from Elmertown."
Firebroiled: Hello, Dear Friends. It's so beautiful up here, Dear Driends. It's so clean. Yes, Dear Friends, there's no druken drivers here. No broken glass. No air. . . . Over.
||||||||| At 10:32 AM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Firebroiled!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| Catherwood walks up and intones "Presenting 'Mudhead', just granted probation at 8:41 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
||||||||| 9:00 PM: llanwydd jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past hour!"
llanwydd: not late this time
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and announces "Announcing 'cease', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:00 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, August 23, 2007 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
cease: llan, mud
llanwydd: welcome, cat

Mudhead: wet dirt is mud

cease: were you here when austin visited? alas i was in nippon
llanwydd: did two shakespeare plays in as many months. can you imagine?
||||||||| Dr. Headphones enters at 9:03 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and runs off to the Hat Pack Annex.
Dr. Headphones: hello, dear friends
Mudhead: hiya ken

llanwydd: I got here after he left. my rehearsals were until 9
cease: hey its kend
Dr. Headphones: how are all of you this fine evening?
cease: how the non-truck are you?
llanwydd: great, kend
Dr. Headphones: doing well here, but it's been wet. we have avoided flooding locally, but there are warnings for those on creeks and rivers
cease: i'm speedily attaining levels of sloth i had before japan trip. not a good thing
Mudhead: the cats wonbt let ya be a sloth
llanwydd: japan is not a slothful place, is it?
Dr. Headphones: nino still thinks i'm in denton, texas. i won't spoil his fun by saying i'm in michigan ;)
cease: forced myself to make another blog post this aft, which y'all can read at www.seemrealland.blogspot.com
||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and DrFrankenTween disembarks at 9:05 PM.
Dr. Headphones: it's the tweenster!
cease: i was forced to be busy while there, but then it was work. the opposite of sloth
DrFrankenTween: Lo dere
cease: hi tween.
llanwydd: hey tween!
DrFrankenTween: No Firesign Radio?
Dr. Headphones: cat: i have a friend whose 12 year old daughter went to japan for 2 wks for some sort of exchange program
cease: for some reason you're not in my email address book. i was going to forward an article to you aout cheney by scott ritter on truthdig
Dr. Headphones: she called her mom and told her she was sick to death of rice and wanted french fries and pizza!
||||||||| Catherwood escorts ah,clem into the room, accepts a wooden nickel as a gratuity, grumbles something about 9:06 PM, then departs.
cease: not during the summer i hope. that's like being sent to hell
Dr. Headphones: ah, it's ah, clem. ah......
Dr. Headphones: and while she was there, they had an earthquake AND a typhoon
DrFrankenTween: Hey clem :-)

DrFrankenTween: No radio tonight, clem?

Mudhead: thats ok ah,clem, I'll hum a few bars
cease: sleep well, clem
Dr. Headphones: i just bought a cable and software for my phone. have spent a couple hours downloading .mid files and assigning them to people. i won't ever remember who is "all good people" or "black magic woman" but it will be fun hearing them
ah,clem: tks all, sure Bambi will stop in later
Dr. Headphones: jl, are you doing better physically?
ah,clem: have fun
Dr. Headphones: btw, can't figure out how to do mp3 files. it says i have a codec missing in my phone.
DrFrankenTween: Ah, ringtones
ah,clem: not been well for the last couple days, but may just be a bug
Dr. Headphones: tween: i'll be damned if i'll spend $2.99 each from the phone company!
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in and pipes up "Presenting 'Dexter Fong', just granted probation at 9:09 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
llanwydd: what a horrible thing to have missing in your phone
Dr. Headphones: hey, dexman
llanwydd: what's a codec?
DrFrankenTween: Mr. Fong...
llanwydd: hey Fong!
Dr. Headphones: coder/decoder
Dexter Fong: Evening all, and a special hello to Kend^=)

Dr. Headphones: works on sound and/or video files
ah,clem: off to the couch for a bit
Mudhead: hiya Dex
Dexter Fong: Hey llan

||||||||| At 9:10 PM, ah,clem vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
DrFrankenTween: Rest up, JL
Dexter Fong: Clem, cat, Tweeny and Mudhead
cease: hows the tex
Dexter Fong: The tex' is clear
llanwydd: I showed up about 11:30 last week
DrFrankenTween: Tex? Like a sauna
cease: the tex and the mex put a hex on him?
llanwydd: after my final play rehearsal

Dr. Headphones: don't forget the sex if you're trying to rhyme
DrFrankenTween: That's about it
llanwydd: dave and katie showed up just after me and we chatted a while
Dexter Fong: Kend^: I've been wondering about your not being hear both of late and just plain late
llanwydd: nobody else was here
cease: saw log
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and intones "Announcing 'Merlyn', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:11 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the vestibule...
DrFrankenTween: Which play, LL?
Merlyn: I'm also known as Merlyn
DrFrankenTween: Evenin' Merlyn

Dr. Headphones: dex: i get up at 5am to be at work at 7, so 930 is almost too late for me to get my alloted beauty rest. and grid knows i NEEDS it

Dexter Fong: Gee, whiz?
Dr. Headphones: pee right in the stream, dear friends
Dexter Fong: But downstream from my cabin
Mudhead: neway
Dr. Headphones: first cowboy rule: bathe upstream from the cows
Merlyn: This might make a chat line or two vanish...
Mudhead: i wanted to add my picture to the miscreants page
llanwydd: good to see this place filling up so quick
DrFrankenTween: Amazing - Nino actually has me in the right city
Dr. Headphones: miscreants and mistercreants too

DrFrankenTween: He's dead now, but lives on in stereo Hi-Fi...
Dexter Fong: And how smooth was that
Dr. Headphones: smooth as a a post-prandial milk of magnesia cocktail ;)
cease: that can be said of Bit
cease: only not "he"
Mudhead: http://azores.globat.com/~bararcade.net/pics/rib.jpg
Dexter Fong: Cat: Then you'd like a PBS show I saw last night re: the rise and fall of Muslem SPAIN
Dr. Headphones: my gawd, mudhead is a pirate!

DrFrankenTween: People forget about how big the Muslim empire was
Mudhead: Argghhhh
Dexter Fong: Ken: Then he went to Yale
Dr. Headphones: do you know what the favorite fast food restarant of pirates is?
cease: spain was, to say the least, Intense. in a good way, though all those bleeding jesuses all over the place was hard to take
cease: thankfully we didnt wander intoo any bullfights
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood snorts derisively: "9:21 PM and late as usual, it's doctec, just back from Milford."
Dexter Fong: Long John Silver's?
Dr. Headphones: howdy, tom
DrFrankenTween: That's an arrrr matey picture allright ;-)

DrFrankenTween: He is?
Merlyn: hey doc
Dr. Headphones: the travesty of shared zip codes. film at 11
Merlyn: the town is so small it has to share a zip code?
doctec: i are a windoze programmer (or becoming one at any rate)
Dexter Fong: The Town the Phone Company forgot
Dr. Headphones: good deal, doc. you get paid to improve your skillset
cease: you're survinvg work, doc?
doctec: c# is pretty shsrp i must say
Dexter Fong: and fill your skillet at the same time

Dexter Fong hemi semi demi quivers
DrFrankenTween: Worked with Vista much, Doc?
doctec: but if it eas a paying gig, then i say more power to ya
Mudhead: I have Tween
Merlyn: Yeah, I needed the work cat, I was unemployed for a while. Could have been a republican plot!
DrFrankenTween: Very cool, DrH
Mudhead: glad all is well doctec
doctec: i saw the email while i was at the office, i think it's great that talon is pulling wonkette's chain
Mudhead: some weekend we really should do coffee
Dr. Headphones: i hope lili is still doing quite well?
Dexter Fong: Kend^: I recommend starting on a Nashville Steel Guitar
doctec: tween: not as yet
Dr. Headphones: dex: i have a 1954 L7 sunburst archtop gibson, but it's not suitable for classisal work, so i'll buy a good guitar
doctec: i won't touch it as far as my own pcs go - as i use them for music and audio work, the resource hungry vista would cause more probs than it solves
doctec: and as for work - we have to develop for xp as that is what the client has deployed through their company
cease: did you see the you tube ishikawas vids i sent you links to, doc?
cease: i'll have more this weekend
Dr. Headphones: doc, alas, my new laptop came with it installed. i'm still learning it's quirks and foibles, and setting everything possible to the "old" way

doctec: mudhead: i totally agree. problem is next two weekends are maxed
Mudhead: np
doctec: lili and i have to spend this weekend and the coming weekdays whipping the house into shape for a visit from eleni and her daughter the following weekend
Merlyn: Here's my favorite review of talonnews.com: [talonnews.com is] like the Conservative Onion, only not as funny and rife with grammatical errors
doctec: we really have our work cut out for us
Dr. Headphones: ok, my dear friends, off to la la land for this olde phart. will return when i can
doctec: but after the labor day weekend, let's see if we can't coordinate our schedules

Mudhead: nitey nite ken
Dr. Headphones: TTFN

Dexter Fong: Night Kend...you olde frent

||||||||| Dr. Headphones rushes off, saying "9:28 PM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?"
Merlyn: nite phones
doctec: with frents like that... :-)
llanwydd: he left without me saying goodbye
doctec: who needs air fresheners?
Dexter Fong: Who need a new living room suit
llanwydd: I was preparing dinner
doctec: toot suit
cease: rooms wear suits?
Dexter Fong: If it suites them
||||||||| It's 9:30 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| DrFrankenTween - dead from The Plague
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
Dexter Fong: That was unexpected
cease: tween
doctec: last weekend i did something i haven't done in 12 years: perform w/computer & keys in front of an audience
Dexter Fong: An unsuspected exprise
llanwydd: you never expect the plague
doctec: it was at the end of a talk i gave to the local mensa group on computers & music in the new millennium
cease: good for you, doc
Dexter Fong: Doc: Did they understand it?
doctec: it was fun, to say the least
llanwydd: I always hear of mensa as something sinister
cease: your vistas are opening
doctec: dex: as a matter of fact, yes
llanwydd: in the media anyway
llanwydd: seriously, it doesn't have good pr
doctec: lland: nah, it's just a bunch of people who've done well on tests sharing social experiences
Merlyn: how can both mensa and mesa mean "table"?
doctec: nothing to see here
llanwydd: I know what it is but
Merlyn: and how can 3 elements be named after Ytterby?
llanwydd: for example
Dexter Fong: Like: "How'd you do on the multiplechoice questions"?
llanwydd: I saw something on a & e about a convicted criminal and they made a big deal of him being involved in mensa
Dexter Fong: Merlyn: Jose Ytterby?
doctec: how can someone with glasses have four eyes?
Merlyn: Ytterby, Switzerland
Dexter Fong: Implants
Merlyn: correc tion, Sweden
doctec: lland: just becuase someone is intelligent doesn't mean they're smart
Dexter Fong: Merl: Either is okay with me
Merlyn: and 4 elements are named after Ytterby
Merlyn: Yttrium(Y), Ytterbium(Yb), Terbium(Tb) and Erbium(Er).
Merlyn: End of physics lesson
Dexter Fong: And just because someone is an intelligence agent doesn't make them a smart alec
Merlyn: correct ion
Dexter Fong: Merl: Will this be on the test?
cease: off to get sangria ingredients
Mudhead: enjoy cat
Merlyn: Ytterbium will be on the test, which means you have to finish it in 2.3 seconds before it radiates away
Dexter Fong: Cat: Hope they're around the house
llanwydd: I scored just under the mensa "criterion" so to hell with them
llanwydd: sour grapes
Merlyn: Join "mesa"
Merlyn: mosey on down
llanwydd: that's an idea, merl
doctec: lland: you're really not missing anything - most mensans are boring and self absorbed head cases
llanwydd: lol, doc
Dexter Fong: Not like us
Merlyn: mess o' mesa potatia
doctec: i am a head case, but i try not to be too boring. whether or not i am self-absorbed is open to debate.
llanwydd: and what I said about the media is not a reflection on mensa
Merlyn: my son's name is scott, he's self-absorbant
Dexter Fong: Oh you had him quilted?
llanwydd: lol
Mudhead: I had a freind named Neal, never listened
Dexter Fong: what?
Mudhead: Neal, Stand Up
Dexter Fong: Catherwood, stand up also
||||||||| Catherwood stands up also.
llanwydd: I never had any friends
llanwydd: so I can't tell any jokes
Dexter Fong: Did you try the Quakers?
cease: leave it to the pros, llan
llanwydd: exept you guys but you all have ridiculous names
cease: by the way, we need a firesign fix
Dexter Fong: llan: At least I have a first and last name, not just a bunch of consanants
llanwydd: you can tel by my splelling I;m a candidtate for mesna
doctec: i too am not good with jokes, i find winging it to be much more challenging and entertaining
Dexter Fong: The sound of surprise
cease: candiddly doodly. anyone seen the simpsons flick? saw it last fri.
Dexter Fong: Not yet Cat
cease: i saw it in a theatre to see if they took advantage of the format. they did
cease: homer's ass is celestial on a big screen
Dexter Fong: An odd kind of review
cease: there are sight gags that work really well because of that format
cease: may not do so on home video equipment
Dexter Fong: Catherwood, ring the dinner bell
||||||||| Catherwood pretends not to hear Dexter Fong
cease: the southpark flick was my favourite flick until i saw the works of satoshi kon recently, but it utiilized its medium very differently from simpsons. i thik people expected the simpsons flick to become more x rated
Dexter Fong: A celestial ass is a good start
||||||||| Outside, the 9:48 PM downtown bus from Texas pulls away, leaving DrFrankenTween coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Dexter Fong: wb Tweeny
DrFrankenTween: Hello again...
cease: in contrast with bart's micro-genitals.
Mudhead: hai Tween
cease: a comment on those expectations.
DrFrankenTween: Domo, Mud
cease: see it theatre if you can, dex
Dexter Fong: thnx Cat
Dexter Fong: afk for refill
cease: good as simpsons was, and it is an extension of the tv show, paprika i saw before going to japan had a much greater effect on me. see blog
llanwydd: I have never watched the Simpletons or seen the movie
doctec: unless lili and i manage to catch the simpsons flick at the local 2nd run, i expect we'll be renting it
Merlyn: they're the paper cutout cartoon, llan
Mudhead: stop by, you can pick up a copy
cease: you'll enjoy it as dvd rental doc. but seeing homer's ass loom over you like an invading nebula is an experience in itself
Dexter Fong: Cat is channeling Carl SAGAN
doctec: cat: i imagine it does
llanwydd: I mean I've never watched a whole episode
llanwydd: of course I've seen it while channel surfing
Dexter Fong: No wonder you didn't get into Mensa or Skull and BONES
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 9:58 PM, dragging Johnny Piano by one leg and asks "Can anyone vouch for this yahoo?"
Johnny Piano: Howdy, buckaroos
Dexter Fong: Shake a leg JP
llanwydd: Hey JP
Dexter Fong: Not that one
llanwydd: skull and bones? not familiar
Johnny Piano: Guess I don't need to ask what's shaking then
Dexter Fong: llan: The exclusive Yale secret society of which many people including Bsh have been members
Johnny Piano: The Skulls
llanwydd: oh, yes. I've heard of that
Johnny Piano: Probably better known as The Numb Skulls
cease: hi jp. hows it jping?
llanwydd: well, I would never have attended Yale
Dexter Fong: Skull and Bones now runs all the rackets in Vancouver
Johnny Piano: Just fine, Cat
llanwydd: isn't the tuition about $30,000 a year?
llanwydd: who would bother?
cease: so thats why its so noisy
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Dexter Fong: If you have to ask, you'll never know
cease: give me 30k, i'll teach you something
Dexter Fong: lol Cat
Johnny Piano: Yep, lots of machines here that go "jping,"
Johnny Piano: Oh, rackets in Vancouver...never mind
cease: i was a teacher for 31 years. all of those students must have lrearned something
Dexter Fong: jping - mongramed gold clubs
Dexter Fong: golf
Dexter Fong: gold golf clubs
Johnny Piano: Just came home from a hooley at the local Irish pub - couple o'pints of Black & Tan under my belt
Dexter Fong: Did you see Gil Hooley
Johnny Piano: Excuse me, must prepare my Chinese dinner after my Irish beer...
Dexter Fong: Bon Appetit
llanwydd: we'll call you McChang
Dexter Fong: Hooley McChang
DrFrankenTween: ...
Johnny Piano: Be right back, something weird just brought to my attention...
||||||||| "10:06 PM? I'm late!" exclaims Johnny Piano, who then dashes out through the french doors and down through the flowerbeds.
llanwydd: and the terrible chat drought continues
Merlyn: I was updating talonnews stuff
Dexter Fong: Catherwood, whistle us up a happy tune
||||||||| Catherwood walks alongside Dexter Fong and says "Something I can help with?"
Merlyn: oh, what a giveaway
cease: some of us are chatrting at two places at once though we're not anywhere at all
llanwydd: think chinese-irish food is bad? I'm having falafel with cranberry sauce

DrFrankenTween: We are of an age, Doc
doctec: ok ttfn ttyl nytol zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................
DrFrankenTween: Turned 53 on 7/20
||||||||| At 10:13 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, doctec!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
cease: in dex's case, maybe twice
llanwydd: I only have two weeks left to be 45
DrFrankenTween: And yes, I'm a member of the AARP
Johnny Piano: Still not 53 yet...
DrFrankenTween: How the years slip by
Dexter Fong lunges at CAT
DrFrankenTween: lol

Johnny Piano: Tripped over the cap key too, didja

Dexter Fong: i DID, i DID, i REALLY DIDit again
DrFrankenTween: lol - nite Mud
cease: are you retiring, mud?
||||||||| Catherwood leads Principalpoop inside, makes a note of the time (10:16 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
cease: can we have only dry earth from now on?
Dexter Fong: Night Mud
Mudhead: nah, just goin to sleep
Dexter Fong: Hey poop
Mudhead: I reired years ago
Principalpoop: night night mud
Johnny Piano: Yeah, Cat, I figured that was just part of the rewriting to make Frodo and the other hobbits more appealing to the younger audience members. There was a awful of Arwen stuff added as well.
Mudhead: nighty nite dear friends
Principalpoop: you got rearended?
cease: is it better to retire than to never having tired at all?
||||||||| Catherwood says "10:16 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs Mudhead by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
Johnny Piano: LAter Mud

Johnny Piano: Oops, tripped on my own cap key

Principalpoop: that is awful

Johnny Piano: Bill O'Reilly wants your falafel, llan
cease: yes that really pissed me off, jp.
llanwydd: interesting
cease: the sowred that kills the wraith king comes from him so that whole thread is lost
Principalpoop: ohhh yeahhhhh
cease: budgetary considerations, but still
llanwydd: If I sent him any falafel, the authorities would get suspicious
cease: obscene desecration
cease: hi poop
Dexter Fong: Bill O'Reilly?

Johnny Piano: All things considered, Jackson and his people did an outstanding job turning the books into film, but there are always gonna be things missing in such translations

Principalpoop: i had a nap thanks
Dexter Fong: Then I'll have some O. Henry
Johnny Piano: O'Reilly with his thing for loofahs and falafels and extramarital affairs...and so on...

Dexter Fong: Get it, that it?
Dexter Fong: is?
Johnny Piano: Actually, if memory serves, I read part of the "Big Book Of Plays" before I actually heard Firesign

Principalpoop: that is possible too JP, I have no idea
llanwydd: Same with me, JP. I saw it in a college bookstore
Principalpoop: i have that somewhere, i may have replaced it once
