||||||||| 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 December 04, 2003 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 3:03 PM, dragging Woody One by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this bozo?"
Woody One: I'm not a Bozo. I'm a smashed up wooden news reporter. Has anyone seen my co-anchor. Hubba hubba, George. What a suit.
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood pipes up: "3:07 PM and late as usual, it's Merlyn, just back from Billville."
Merlyn: Hey, it's too early
||||||||| Merlyn leaves to catch the 3:08 PM train to Hellmouth.
||||||||| It's 3:20 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Woody One - dead from The Plague
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood ushers Dad into the room, accepts a grimy quarter as a gratuity, mumbles something about 8:50 PM, then departs.
Dad: Right, son. Now I am the people. And The People -- US -- wants me to tell them -- It -- just what you're doing with your hands in Number 35729 comma Short comma One Pair Blue Gym comma W/slash Protector, worn by Barbara Bobo!
||||||||| Dad runs out the back door as Mayor P'nisnose blasts through the front door holding a shotgun and shouting "Where's Dad?! It's 8:50 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, December 04, 2003 - 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?"
||||||||| "9:11 PM? 9:11 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Merlyn should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Merlyn enters and sits on the couch.
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and snorts derisively "Presenting 'llanwydd', just granted probation at 9:11 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
Merlyn: hey ll
||||||||| 9:12 PM: Cease jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past hour!"

Rotonoto: around here heavy traffic and tendency to have 'slippery' precip events makes it dicey some times
Freq Man: Any light precip... any time of the year can get dangerous 'round here. oils collect on the roads and don't wash away so at the beginning of any rain, you gotta really watch out.
Rotonoto: probably worst in low rain areas but we get that too
Freq Man: Lots of time inbetween rain-fall lets that happen more I guess
Freq Man: I really should get back to a script I need to edit... I also need to write some PR about our Christmas show "A Trailer Trash Christmas Carol"... so maybe we should call it a night.
