||||||||| Tweeny hurries out the back door as Mayor P'nisnose blasts through the front door holding a shotgun and shouting "Where's Tweeny?! It's 8:00 PM and my ballot boxes haven't been stuffed yet!"
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, May 02, 2024 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!" -- then he looks around at the empty room, looks at his watch, and mumbles "...am I early?"
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies morlog in through the front door at 8:00 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
||||||||| Catherwood escorts Deputy Dang in through the front door at 8:00 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
||||||||| JZip sneaks in around 8:00 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last month's "unpleasant incident."
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and announces "Announcing 'Cease', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 8:00 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the sitting room...
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 11 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.

Cease: Hola amigos!
Cease: Hi Mr Zip
||||||||| "8:00 PM? 8:00 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Tweeny should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Tweeny enters and sits on the couch.

||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "She's no fun, she fell right over."
Cease: The palm of your mind. Good one, Tween.
Tweeny: That's from their web site, Cease :)
Cease: Cocteau-like drawing. I should have used that in my Cocteau collage!

Cease: Now it's called CSUN, California State University, North Ridge
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Beet into the room, accepts a $3 bill as a gratuity, mumbles something about 8:00 PM, then departs.
Beet: Howdy, Folks!
Tweeny: Yo Beet
Deputy Dang: Howdy, Beet!
Beet: Hi, Tween, Deputy, Cease, JZip, morlog
JZip: I really don't get enough exorcism in my daily life.
morlog: hi, i like cheese and cheese accesories
||||||||| 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 llanwydd falls out at 8:00 PM.
JZip: Dont get enough capillary action, either.
llanwydd: hey folks
