||||||||| 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 June 26, 2008 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood announces: "8:01 AM and late as usual, it's Firebroiled, just back from Hellmouth."
Firebroiled: Back from the shadows again! Out where an In-jun's your friend! Where the veg'tables are green, And you can pee into the stream! Yes, we're back from the Shadows again! Howdy, everybody! Ah'm the Whisperin' Squash . . . And I'm the Lonesome Beet . . . And I'm Artie Choke! And we're just a joke . . . And don't be afraid, Little People, 'cause we're just Holy-grams!
Firebroiled: Well, . . . . maybe everybody except Dexter Fong . .. ?
||||||||| Firebroiled departs at 8:03 AM, singing "Toad away, toad away; toad away, toad away! Where do you go when you're toad away?"
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in and intones "Presenting 'uberRegenbogen', just granted probation at 6:55 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
uberRegenbogen: my, what bigtext you have!
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 6:59 PM, dragging : by the hair and asks "Can anyone vouch for this Yahoo [TM]?"
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 7 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| It's 7:10 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| : - dead from the yaws
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood fades his voice out like this and cues the organist...
uberRegenbogen sits here in the waiting room
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies inside, makes a note of the time (7:29 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 8 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| ah,clem bounds in at 8:28 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 eastern'
ah,clem: wait here in the sitting room
ah,clem: bbiab
||||||||| Around 8:30 PM, ah,clem walks off into the sunset...
||||||||| 9:00 PM: ah,clem jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past half hour!"
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, June 26, 2008 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
||||||||| Catherwood escorts cease in through the front door at 9:06 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
cease: red shift!
cease: i know the author
ah,clem :)
cease: on nbc news, news about martian soil composition. synchronicity or what
ah,clem ;)
||||||||| llanwydd sneaks in around 9:15 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last week's "unpleasant incident."
llanwydd: evening folks
ah,clem: hi LL
llanwydd: both of you
cease: hi ll
llanwydd: I've always wanted to know about martian soil composition
llanwydd: I think I heard one once
cease: this is the first time you're heard red shift?
cease: 2nd?
llanwydd: no, like I say, I am unable to listen to cni
llanwydd: maybe someday
ah,clem: web tv, right, LL?
llanwydd: that's right
llanwydd: actually msntv2, the so-called upgrade to webtv
ah,clem: slow night so far...
llanwydd: I think it was our own Hemlock Stones who said "msn upgrade is an oxymoron"
llanwydd: very true
ah,clem: yup
cease: i'm the only one who wants to listen to me
cease: i'm reading shultz bio. i feel more and more like charlie brown
llanwydd: I'm sure Red Shift is a good play, Cat, but I have to say I was disappointed that the lines I recorded for it were not used
llanwydd: whatever happened?
cease: i was dissapointed too, llan. as i recall, doc tec, my producer, didnt think the audio would fit.
llanwydd: I see
cease: he can be more precise the next time i inquire.
cease: i know how much you wanted to do it and i rely upon the enthusiasm of strangers, to paraphrase a real playwrite
llanwydd: I did like neal amid, though. and thanks for sending me a copy
cease: it might have been the level at which is was recorded, or something technical like that. doc has been so saturated with new gig i can barely get in touch with him, but at least lili is trending upward again
llanwydd: that's good to hear
cease: yes neal is my fave. it's the 3rd story i wrote about neal cassady, inspried by the kerouac audio tale "neal and the 3 stooges" which is one of the best pieces of audio i've ever heard
llanwydd: the acting is very good too
cease: this is too talky, particularly too much talking by me. i find my voice tiring
cease: you have a fine voice and a real passion for acting, ll.
llanwydd: I made an audio play several years ago with some of the best actors in vermont
cease: my least talent is directing/producing. doc has that talent, not i
llanwydd: I actually had it broadcast on a vermont radio station
cease: bernie sanders? thom hartmann?
cease: ben and gerry?
llanwydd: bernie sanders is character for sure
llanwydd: actually the play I directed was an adaptation of an old victorian ghost story
cease: where is everyone tonight? is it a us holiday?
llanwydd: I wrote about a third of it but it was mainly an adaptation
cease: the old victorians were into ghosts
||||||||| Dexter Fong enters at 9:34 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and runs off to the Haberdashery Barn.
llanwydd: that's a good question. you would think the place would be crowded by now
llanwydd: howdy dex
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Bunnyboy close behind, grumbles something about disrupting his 9:35 PM tree-stunting plans, and scurries off to the Aviary.
cease: and speasking of ghosts
Bunnyboy: George Carlin RIP
Dexter Fong: Sheesh!!! My cable company stopped there newgroups
llanwydd: hi bb
cease: bun man
cease: indeed bun
Bunnyboy: Well, now that olde George is gone, the FST can FINALLY win a Grammy!
Dexter Fong: and I had to find a bookmark for chat which I always used from the alt fst newgroup
cease: the universe is less funny
Bunnyboy: Sorry. Couldn't resist.
cease: more indeed, bun
llanwydd: well, you have to admit, george was not nearly as funny in his later years
llanwydd: I always thought his first album was his best
cease: true, llan
cease: after his wife died. when i saw him a few years ago here in van, it was mostly anger
Bunnyboy: llan: I will admit nothing of the sort. He was brilliant to the end.
cease: i told a friend upon hearing of his death, we've lost the tom paine of our era
llanwydd: a lot of people think that was FM/AM but his first album was actually called Take Offs and Put Ons
Bunnyboy: Yes, George was a Paine...
cease: brillaint yes, bun.
Bunnyboy: And a treat to meet on the streets of this fair city...
cease: i must buy a box set of all his albums
Bunnyboy: Yup, TO & PO, with the short hair and clean-shaven face.
cease: you know d. ossman is the same age as carlin
ah,clem: a hot water heater? what the hell for?
cease: we have a houseguest, 70 something, who looks like my younger brother.
llanwydd: he also released an album with Jack Burns before that but TOaPO was his first solo
Bunnyboy: Suddenly, that complete (save his most recent special) box set of Carlin HBO specials doesn't seem such an extravagance, after all...
ah,clem: get on the plane... hell no, let evil knivel get ON the plane, I'm getting IN the plane...
Bunnyboy: Right, Burns was his first comedy partner.
ah,clem: a non stop flight?
Bunnyboy: Now, they have to release Season 1 of FRIDAYS, and get Jack Burns, Larry David, Michael Richards, Maryedith Burrell et. al. to do new interviews...
llanwydd: I never heard burns with carlin but I remember burns from various other projects
||||||||| Catherwood leads Tor Hershman inside, makes a note of the time (9:43 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.

Tor Hershman: I thought I might make a good Clay in the remake of "Plan 9 from Outer Space" (Having died been reanimated several times + I know the lines) but I've lost much weight
cease: i walked into the doge's palace in venice a few years ago and was stricken with an idea for a play
llanwydd: with don capone?
cease: but i'm sure you only lost the bad weight, tor
llanwydd: inspector clay is dead. murdered! and someone's responsible!
Tor Hershman: Cat-a-tonic weight, Cat
Tor Hershman: Sorry about that
Tor Hershman: LL, knows much
Bunnyboy: llan: Have you ever done/seen THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND?
llanwydd: no I haven't bb. but I nearly auditioned for it
Bunnyboy: I wish I'd done more Stoppard in my board-treading days...
llanwydd: II ended up auditioning for Night Must Fall by Emlyn Williams but didnt get the part

MutantTween: Was at one time, cease
Tor Hershman: I heard the expression "Tit for tat" and asked moi's parents if I could change my name to Tat.
cease: i love the cartoons, smeigel? but the rest, rarely rates more than a smirk
Bunnyboy: Tits belong on EVERY list.
Bunnyboy: (sings) He's making a list, checking it twice...
MutantTween: Maybe I'm just turning into an old fogey and don't get the 'new' humor of the younger generation

MutantTween: That could be good, Bun
Tor Hershman: Moi digs MacDonald and Officer Judy MUCH, don't know Ms. Silverman
cease: i think sarah might be better with smigel than with herself

||||||||| Elayne enters at 10:21 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and runs off to the Chapeau Manger.
Principalpoop: bahhh
Elayne: Evenin' all.

Dexter Fong: Elayne: How's the new job?
Bunnyboy: nite llan!
MutantTween: Hello Mz. E
cease: hey, its the worker of the week! hi el!
Principalpoop: best of luck llan
Tor Hershman: TTFN, LL
Dexter Fong: Night llan
MutantTween: Sounds like a good idea, LL
llanwydd: good night
Elayne: Exhausting, Dex. But I swing by your area every Wednesday around 5:45 or so to go pick up new comics, if you want to get together. Dunno what your late afternoons are like.
Elayne: Night, Llan!
Principalpoop: E stands for EmployEE
cease: by ll
Dexter Fong: E: Pretty much like my early ones
Elayne: Damn straight, PrinPoop! The job is wonderful, it's the commute that's exhausting. I'm not used to this after six months of enforced inactivity!
cease: is job as good as your blog says it is, el?
Principalpoop: fong
Elayne: So can you just leave for a half hour or something at 5:45, Dex?
cease: your happiness is our happiness, el
MutantTween: They policed your inactivity?
Dexter Fong: Sure
Elayne: It's better, Cat. I love my boss, my coworkers are super nice, the benefits are terrific... I just need to get used to the commute again. Which I will, in time.
Tor Hershman: Gad, El, you'd have never lasted to googoogaloolog
Elayne: 'Kay Dex, your work # is in my cell phone now, I'll give you a call on Wednesday to see if we should get together.
cease: i'm on clouds of happiness for you, el
Principalpoop: maybe you can pay bush to commute your commute
Dexter Fong: Fine Elayne

Bunnyboy: Anybody stepping out to see WANTED this weekend?
Principalpoop: ahh good
Dexter Fong: Cat: Can you tell us the details?
cease: i should leave it to him to elucidate
Tor Hershman: Pay Bush - sounds like a Buy Sexual
Elayne: It's not inherently a bad commute, it just takes some getting used to. Remember, before the six months off, I was driving to work for 3-1/2 years, a 25-minute trip each way with no traffic. This is quite different.
Dexter Fong: OK
Elayne: Cat, I wasn't aware there was any less-than-good news about Lili which has now changed.
Principalpoop: i have had some commutes from hell, do tell
Elayne: I really need to get together with Doc and Lili now that I'm employed.
cease: no el, that was the good news.
Elayne: Ah, okay Cat. So why isn't Doc here? Or was he here earlier?
cease: yesm doc said she'd be looking for employment now. she's that healthy
Tor Hershman: I used to do 3 hours a day, by bus, when moi t'were way back west
Elayne: I'm really hankering to drive up to CT and meet them. Oh wow, that's great news indeed, Cat!
cease: no, we spoke on phone a few days ago. he said he was usualy too tired from work to come on line
Elayne: Sounds familiar, Cat. I'm about to turn in, m'self.
Elayne: Just stopped by to say hello, goodbye...
cease: i didnt speak to lili, but doc said she was healthy enough to work and looked forwarrd to doing so, so what could be better news,eh?
Elayne: ...and of course to raise a glass to late Firesign fan George Carlin...
Principalpoop: luxury, i did bus, subway, bus
cease: ok el, keep on having a great time
cease: yes indeed, el
Principalpoop: cheers E
MutantTween: Hello I must be going?
Principalpoop: congrats again
Tor Hershman: Yikes, Poop
Elayne: Bye all!
Bunnyboy: nite Elayne!

Tor Hershman: TTFN, El
