||||||||| 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 March 18, 2004 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Outside, the 8:56 PM downtown bus from Funfun Town pulls away, leaving Danny coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Danny: whew!

||||||||| Outside, the 9:01 PM downtown bus from Funfun Town pulls away, leaving Bunnyboy coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, March 18, 2004 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
||||||||| "9:01 PM? 9:01 PM!!" says Catherwood, "cease should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as cease enters and sits on the couch.

cease: is skybird broadcasting any firesign now?
Danny: yes
Bunnyboy: Is that REPLY s'posed to be REPLAY?
Merlyn: fighting clowns & GMI
Merlyn: but the announcement was "give me liberty" not "immortality"
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood pipes up: "9:03 PM and late as usual, it's JoMammy Yamamto, just back from Billville."
cease: oh yes, i heard this on saturday
Danny: the more you listen the more you hear
cease: being played with GMI makes even F Clowns sound good
Bunnyboy: IF 9 ET = YES; REPLAY

cease: better than neal young supporting him
Bunnyboy: Le Grande Irony
Merlyn: I took out the code that brings up a new window for the skybird link, let me know if it screws up anyone

||||||||| At 9:10 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Dr. Headphones!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
Bunnyboy: Multiple minutes
||||||||| Outside, the 9:10 PM downtown bus from Funfun Town pulls away, leaving Dr. Headphones coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.

Bunnyboy: I'll see your bunny, and raise you 1 more bunny, and a froo-froo dog!

Dr. Headphones: and davey jones himself appears
Bunnyboy: lo Dave
JoMammy Yamamto: I finally found a serial modem
Dave: and you thought I was gone forever! I know I was missed, people wept on the log so I couldn't read it or burn it
JoMammy Yamamto: Davey Jones? Where's yr locker?
Dr. Headphones: yam: i have 2 running linux here, in addition to this one on winxp, but can't get the screen resolution from them i can in here
Danny: better than a serial killer

Dr. Headphones: danny: are you new? or just someone old in a new suit? i feel like breaking into song....

Bambi: yeah, well we kinda guessed Danny :)
Bunnyboy: Head: I temped for a spell at IBM, when os/2 was first making the rounds.
Bambi: Good to 'see' you all!
Danny: as if I didn't give enough hints in IRC
Bambi: Good to 'see' you all!
ah,clem: you did, that is why I knew.
Bambi: well, actually, ah,clem got it ... I was a bit slow on the uptake lol
Bunnyboy: They used to broadcast little 10 minute motivational video segments, all over the building, over strategically placed video monitors.
ah,clem: and I told Bambi, but she would have guessed.
Danny: awww Bambi. I gave you a hint a week ago
cease: i used to be absent from this chat for weeks and it was actually noticed. i see that
cease: no longer the case
Bambi smiels
Dr. Headphones: bun: kinda like what walmart does now?
ah,clem: odd expression
Bambi: you were definitely missed Cat!!
Dr. Headphones: cat: of course we missed you, but we suspected you would eventually return
JoMammy Yamamto: Yes
JoMammy Yamamto: cats always do
cease: i'm gonna avoid thursay classes and overseas travel for a while
Bunnyboy: I vividly remember the national VP, or somesuch, addressing a broadcast meeting, and invoking the names of operating systems: Windows, Mac and os /2.
cease: with tennis playing dog and new kittens, how can i leave?
JoMammy Yamamto: New Kittens?
Bunnyboy: When he said os/2, he punctuated it with (I kid you not) a thumbs-up sign.
Danny: sthat VP was warped like me
Dr. Headphones: i watched neat video last night of novell/SCO guy giving hell to current "unix owner"
cease: they were born the beginning of feb. we get them in april
Danny: only the FBI uses it any more....
Dr. Headphones: efram zimbalist jr. presents: OS/2: the case of the missing operating system
Bambi: you have new kittens Ken?
Bunnyboy: Come to think of it, IBM was one of the creepiest places I ever worked...and I've worked for lawyers!
cease: hey merl, just read a funny joke about minnesota today, involving cats
Dr. Headphones: oh no, bambi, my beanie baby, about 9 months old did that to me
Dr. Headphones: bun: don't admit that to too many people
cease: did you get that piece i sent to ossman and cc'd you and doc about the uncrushed dwarf?
Bambi: lol
Danny: rolls on the floor laughing his OS off
Bunnyboy: That's the Feline Solution. Move them all to Minnesota. Bwah-ah-ah! ; )
Merlyn: I couldn't get to the link, cat
JoMammy Yamamto: I had an OS 2 disc set. Gave it to the Salvation Army
Dr. Headphones: i bet jesse venture eats kitten heads for breakfast
Bambi: hmmm, laughing his OS/2 off ... does that mean he's wearing a new RedHat?
Bambi: or maybe a Fedora?
Danny: no, just my pants
Dr. Headphones: fedora sucks compared to the older redhats. JMHO. i have rh9 and mandrake 9.2 running now on my two
cease: it's from the pot-tv.net forum Stoner Humour. I was just looking for it there but dont know the title of the post
JoMammy Yamamto: I got a free set of Suse 8.1
Danny: where's my bong?
cease: the 3 mice story is from today's.
Merlyn: You sent a big long URL in some kind of wrapper, but I couldn't get it to work
Bunnyboy: "There's a penguin on the PC." "What's it doing there?" "Processing..."
JoMammy Yamamto: Junior made a lamp of it
Dr. Headphones: if you knew suse like i know suse......
Dr. Headphones: yam: if you're looking for bootable cd that runs on its own, try knoppix. much better and easier to use than suse
Danny: back to where it once belonged
ah,clem: I keep the old dist and multiboot, that way no loss, each has it's own strongpoints.
cease: really? then i'm sure ossman never got it. bummer as it has to do with the origin of the title "dont crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers"
Merlyn: my anti-spam logic is keeping tons of spammers out of the guestbook and MFP
Bunnyboy: Dja all hear about the new Showtime musical production in the works? It's the film version of the off-Broadway and LA hit show, REEFER MADNESS.
Dr. Headphones: bun: musical? hell, the only music in it was the maniacal piano player
cease: i can probably print it out and send it as a word doc or something.
ah,clem: and play with bootables too, like the new knoppix, a great tool
Bunnyboy: New myoozik, Ken.
cease: one of the origins that the firesign mentioned was left over dwarves from wizard of oz, working in factories wiring airplanes in ww2
ah,clem: suse boot demo fun but a bit odd for a redhat guy.
Dr. Headphones: clem: i will probably eventually try the multi-booting, but each of my machines has 4G hda and much larger hdb that i use only for data, so room for only one distro on each one unless i pare down functionality severely
Danny: Dang! I"m out of Guiness!
Bunnyboy: And Ralph, the drug addict ("Faster! Play FASTER!") is being played by John Kassir, who reprises his role from the show.
Dr. Headphones: dan/warp: you mean some was left over from yesterday's irish drinking binge?
ah,clem: srore run, Dan,
Bunnyboy: Kassir is best know as Buster Bunny on TINY TOONS, and the voice of the Cryptkeeper on TALES FROM THE CRYPT.
Danny: no, her name was Guiness... she ran out SCREAMING!
Bambi: good White Russian here
Merlyn: the same guy from the 30's movie?
cease: good one, danny
ah,clem: ok glad you cleared that up.
Dr. Headphones: dah. white russian good drink. josef stalin loved them ;)
Bunnyboy: Merl: Naw, the stage show BASED on the 30's flick.
ah,clem: have a beer Dan, you will be OK
Danny: she was sore
Bambi: well, that wasn't really why I like them
Bambi: I just love drinks with a milk base
Merlyn: oh, I got confused about "reprising" his role
Bunnyboy: Gee, the circles under the eyes would be VERY pronounced if...if...
Dr. Headphones: clem/bambi: did eventually get server running again here. problem was that rwx------ stuff. had to learn all that "chown" and "chmod" stuff with 777 and -R
Bambi: lol
Dave: wo, I justlogged in again and it kept my message log
Bambi: yes, makes your head spin initially doesn't it Ken?
Dr. Headphones: you were gone? didn't see you leave
Bunnyboy: Anybody catch the TV Land Awards last nite? Lotta aging personalities, boy...
Dave: no my comp froze, well, screen reader, same thing, and I got that batch thing to work by the way Ken
Danny: missed that bunny
Merlyn: I think that has to do with the earth orbiting the sun
ah,clem: you need to load and learn "mc" then no need to worry over perms
||||||||| Outside, the 9:37 PM downtown bus from Funfun Town pulls away, leaving sick-as-klokwkdog coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
sick-as-klokwkdog: hello folks

||||||||| JoMammy Yamamto departs at 9:40 PM, singing "Toad away, toad away; toad away, toad away! Where do you go when you're toad away?"
sick-as-klokwkdog: got bad review in the NYT, Ken
Dave: as much as I wanted it when we got satelite, I've hardly watched the istory channel, come to that I don't watch TV much anymore
Dr. Headphones: which one, klok? welk, dwyer, or saddam?

Danny: Dave?,....
sick-as-klokwkdog: kexp is playing OK stuff, rockabilly
Bunnyboy: Hey! Skybird's bot identifyed GMI as "GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH"
Merlyn: "immortality"
Danny: Stop Dave....

ah,clem: hope you feel better klok
Danny: That tickles, Dave
Dave: eh? are there two of us or somethin'?
sick-as-klokwkdog: gettin' there, Clem, but I don't think I'll have that beer tonight ;-)
Dr. Headphones: ah, now i'm cooking with gas and a new focus group :)
Bunnyboy: Was it really only 6 years ago that I was listening to Richard Fish's choppy sneak preview stream of GMI?
Bunnyboy: Well, was it?
Danny: this is awesome
Dr. Headphones: was it that long?
Bunnyboy: Who else remembers that? Merl? cat?
Dr. Headphones: i think i pre-ordered it and had it the day of release
cease: fish streamed it before it came out?
cease: proc sent me a copy
Merlyn: I remember listening to it and saving it
Dr. Headphones: fish stream? zip your fly rod up!
Merlyn: lots of dropout on my end
Danny: mmmm ribs
cease: interesting to read fish's post of alt.firesign about lodestone
cease: glad to hear rumours of its death have been premature
Dr. Headphones: cat: yes, and some angry replies to it also
Bunnyboy: cat: Yeah, it was an authorized thing. I remember, they were also interviewing Proctor and Ossman from Dave's house, and Bergman from a cell phone, in a restaurant.
Danny: I love my big ugly dish
Merlyn: that recent post was an old repost by someone else
Bambi: back again with the hotdoggies and fresh brewed coffee ....yummmmmm
Danny: NO! it's a parabola!
cease: so fish broadcast it on his radio show?
Bunnyboy: Merl: Yeah, those were the herky-jerky days of streaming.

||||||||| It's 9:50 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Dave - dead from the fiddlers
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
sick-as-klokwkdog: kind of a techhie Rush Limbaugh
Bunnyboy: cat: Yes, my first experience of GMI was a bumby one. Barely intelligible. Piqued my interest, that's for sure!
Dr. Headphones: klok: i haven't lsitened lately, but he IS funny at times, and lots of good info too

Bunnyboy: klok: You've never listened to GMI?
Dr. Headphones: bozo dave returns

Dave: wait who is this?
Dave: sorry was off doin' somethin'
sick-as-klokwkdog: no, Bun
Bambi: wb Dave ... the fiddler on the roof
Dave: indeed
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 9:53 PM and Elayne steps out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
Bunnyboy: klok: GMI is $10.99 at Amazon. Drop the dime!
Bambi: (you died of fiddlers Dave)
Dr. Headphones: hi, elayne
sick-as-klokwkdog: gas headed for $5/gal and we're antagonizing Venezuela. Brilliant
Bunnyboy: lo Elayne

Danny: smiles at the grape
Dr. Headphones: those castro-loving socialists? :)
Elayne: Ah, excellent, GMIOGMD! Been awhile since I've heard that one. Evenin' all!
Dave: I did? ok then
Bunnyboy: Me love is packing a burger for me. Nite, y'all. May BBL.

Merlyn: nite bb
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 9:56 PM, dragging Elayne Again by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this bozo?"
cease: by bb
Dr. Headphones: klok: i thought you had to be 18 to smoke.....
Elayne Again: Well, my first attempt failed, I couldn't read anything. Could someone kill off the dead Elayne?
sick-as-klokwkdog: the MAG smoked before, when it was only 5; it's on borrowed time
Bunnyboy: Luxury? Man, it's SOUL FOOD!
Elayne Again: Bye Bunnyboy!
Bambi: night BB
||||||||| Merlyn aka 'The Reaper' has killed off Elayne at 9:56 PM
Elayne Again: Thanks. BRB.
||||||||| At 9:56 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Elayne Again!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
Bunnyboy: Of course, I am...insane.
||||||||| Catherwood leads Elayne inside, makes a note of the time (9:56 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
sick-as-klokwkdog: enjoy, Bun!
Bunnyboy: I mean, NOT INSANE!
Bambi: ah, Catherwood, sure, we can vouche for Elayne Again :)
Elayne: Okay, let's try that again. Evenin' all!
Elayne turns on Skybird...

Dr. Headphones: howdy, e-girl
Danny: Hello E
sick-as-klokwkdog: the people say, "Necrophilia!"
Bambi: hey Elayne! Good ta see ya!
Bunnyboy: see ya El
||||||||| Bunnyboy leaves at 9:57 PM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
Dr. Headphones: or, for you candy lovers, "neccophilia"
Elayne: Ah, the Princess Goddess Doll Drop...

Dr. Headphones: great line: sex with your hat. it's got you covered but it just don't fit :)
ah,clem: I try to run something at about 9 eastern each thurs, for the chat
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| At 10:01 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Elayne!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| Outside, the 10:01 PM downtown bus from Funfun Town pulls away, leaving Elayne coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Elayne: Right, that's it. No Skybird for me tonight...

cease: oh, i see Ghosts of Vietnam is a canuck show. superb. too bad you can't see it
cease: your country that needs it the most
Elayne: Yeah, maybe it's 'cause I have Bloglines (a blog newsreader) open as well.
Elayne: It's wonderful, it's like forward into the past! I can read blogs now the way I used to read Usenet.
sick-as-klokwkdog: oh, it sounded like The Ten Thousand Day War, Cat
Dr. Headphones: cat: wish i could get cbc shows here. i have to put up with us tv 23.5 hours, get bbc news at 6pm every night for 1/2 hour

Dr. Headphones: klok: i had some emails to him bounce back also
||||||||| Catherwood escorts doctec in through the front door at 10:10 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.

Dr. Headphones: doc: your cell? you were in jail over the weekend?
Elayne: Don't call him in his cell, they're tapping the lines.
doctec: saturday and most of sunday i was at lili's place
sick-as-klokwkdog caught his current creeping crud from someone on Sunday anyway
doctec: patellel hell indeed
Dr. Headphones: who's that tap tap tapping?
sick-as-klokwkdog: Tom - I never got any emails at the time or later or anything

doctec: klok: what i meant was, by the time i got your email you had already taken off - i didn't have a chance to respond
doctec: you sent the email and left like 20 mins later
sick-as-klokwkdog: understood
doctec: i don't pop my home email acct all that often from the office during the day
Dr. Headphones: read interesting piece about gall bladder problems referencing ashcroft. says most people with that problem are constipated. i always KNEW he was full of s**t!
cease: indeed
doctec: i read your email 2 hrs after you sent, i figured you were already on the road
Danny: sets up the plasma porn screen

cease: also emailed link to same site recently to you, westly and ossman re: origin of crush that dwarf from real life
Danny: TY for the pills Dr.

doctec: understand: being that i am a 'web master' (cough cough), i get an enormous amount of spam - about 300 msgs a day, not counting all the mail that's been bouncing from doctechnical.com
Dr. Headphones: it may be may..... sounds like a johnny mercer song from the 40s

sick-as-klokwkdog: if you felt like I do now on Sunday, not a fun thing to have company, anyway
Bambi: Hi Bubba
||||||||| It's 10:20 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Dave - dead from jaundice
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
doctec: and even tho i am using mozilla thunderbird as my email client (the adaptive junk mail filter works pretty well and i have filters set up ot capture email from people i know), sometimes things still fall through the cracks
Dr. Headphones: speaking of crack, http://66.227.225.99:800/smith.html
sick-as-klokwkdog: understood, DT
Bambi: I hear ya doc ... same problem with spam here ... and it has picked up again quite a bit this past week.
Danny: especially if they are in chinese or russian
doctec: actually, re saturday: i was either hung over (i did have a lot to drink at the pool hall friday night, lili was in n.j. visiting former co-workers so i went to a pool hall where i used to shoot in league and ran into a bunch of guys i used to shoot with) or caught a 24-hr flu bug
Dr. Headphones: i got email virus from .vn (hanoi) the other day
Danny: just use OS/2
Bubba's Brains: I sympathize, doc. The LT site gathers a lot of spam at its various addresses, several of which forward to me.
cease: dien bien phooy
Danny: don't use drugs
doctec: i am inclined to think it was the former not the latter
Dr. Headphones: danny: well, i didn't "get" it, norton caught it first
Bambi: I bet Ken didn't really get that virus...he just received it ;)
Bambi: lol, what he said

Dr. Headphones: dave's not here, man
Dave: well fine! I go away and it kicks me off
Danny: Sorry, Dave
sick-as-klokwkdog: supposedly major effects over in 24-36 hrs, though
Dr. Headphones: yep, dave, reaper is very unforgiving if you don't participate
doctec: well klok, it was only for 24 hrs - severe nausea and a raging headache - hit me early in the day, had me down until late evening
Bambi: Ken, how true, how true ...
doctec: and as i say, it may have just been that i drank too much
sick-as-klokwkdog: what if you use the "I'm away" setting, Ken?
Dr. Headphones: "speak...or else"
Danny: woof...
Bubba's Brains: "or else"
Dr. Headphones: if you're "away" he doesn't bother you
sick-as-klokwkdog: nah, this is the Mother of All runny noses here.
Dave: well I won't get reeped now cause I'm here Damnit!
doctec: i hate it when my nose runs - chasing after it is exhausting
Dr. Headphones: well, if we're all going to talk about our maladies, i've had low-grade queasiness for several days, and tonight i bent over to pick up ferret and did something to my back. have to sit "just right" or have huge desire for drugs of the pain variety
cease: that's what gogol said
sick-as-klokwkdog doesn;t have enough breath to run. just sit quietly or sleep is all that's possible at the moment
Dr. Headphones: good choices there, klok

Dr. Headphones: "here's to the new world order!"

Danny: good music
Dr. Headphones: doc: can i ftp from there and download them all in one action?
cease: a salmon brothel?
doctec: "traveler log" ... a kind-of, sort-of abstract audio play. it's based on some recordings of scenes a fellow film student made, he was going to use them for a film he never completed back in '76 - he let me take the audio and create original electronic music around it so it's sort of kind of a sci-fi audio play
doctec: dr. h: not really, the files are not accessible thru ftp - but wget will probably work well for you
doctec: ever use wget?
Bambi: Mperia.com -- cool new music service from the sounds of things.
doctec: it should be on your unix machine already
Danny: thanks all
Bambi: songs available in .mp3 format for a change
doctec: you just say 'wget -some url-' and it downloads the file to your unix box
sick-as-klokwkdog: no more FST on Skybird?
Danny: dont forget me Bambi....
Bambi: should work for you too Danny ... it's mp3 :)
Dave: wait where is this doc? I love your mixes
Danny: checking it now
Bambi: it is a service .. .but sounds like it makes better sense than the DRM crap by RIAA sponsored ones
Dr. Headphones: well, tom, i'm in windows right now, trying ws_ftp, but won't accept my login
Bambi: supposed to be a nice place for musicians too
doctec: i made my version of 'traveler log' back in 1980, transferred the reel to reel into my pc a couple of weeekends ago and cleaned it up

sick-as-klokwkdog likes the pithy letters in The Economist; those in NYT are so darn practical and uninteresting
cease: i will definitely email whoever's responsible for that. all those exotic japanese indeed
Bubba's Brains: Nukes!?! I thought they said it was full of nudes!
cease: under the burkas, perhaps
Merlyn: I thought it was full of i-nodes
sick-as-klokwkdog: ought to orchestrate a mass complaint, Cat -- letter after letter
llanwydd: ever heard of the Nude Bomb? It was an old film
Merlyn: they said the center of iraq was full of nougat
Bubba's Brains: Islamic come-on: "Hi, I'm nude under this burka."
cease: there's a whole category of japanese words, onompoetic that are always written in katakana. all typical japanese words
sick-as-klokwkdog: US admin's nose is getting longer and longer and longer...
Merlyn: does this burka make my bomb look big?
sick-as-klokwkdog: LOL
doctec: ok i gotta call it a night, it's been a very long week for me and i need to get some sleep
cease: the pinnochio president, as ambassador wilson called it
Merlyn: joke from a few months ago
llanwydd: bub reminded me of it. I never saw the film
Bubba's Brains: Bomba-bomba-boom!
cease: sleep well, doc
Merlyn: hokay dok
sick-as-klokwkdog: nite DT; hi->Lili
Bubba's Brains: "i've heard the name, never seen it"
doctec: next week i'll be at the 'super billiards expo' in valley forge PA, so i'll see you all in two weeks
llanwydd: I hate to say it but I still think Bush is going to win the election. Won't be my fault
cease: see you then, doc. best of luck in the expo
Bubba's Brains: doc cant see us next week. he'll be playing with his balls.
sick-as-klokwkdog: say hi to George for me, DT
Bubba's Brains: Nite, doc.
doctec: nytol (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........
||||||||| doctec leaves at 11:26 PM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
sick-as-klokwkdog: they're having trouble managing all the lies, Ilan.
cease: that's odd, considering they have All The Power\
cease: the supine court on down
cease: can an irate howard stern beat them? i mean in a non-sexual way?
sick-as-klokwkdog: joe sixpack is beginning to notice
Bubba's Brains: I rate howard stern?
Bubba's Brains: I sternly rate howard?
sick-as-klokwkdog: what I read, Stern is popular with swing voters, may really crimp Bush's numbers
llanwydd: howard stern is a loser
cease: according to salon, this is the worst thing that has happened to the bush campaign
Merlyn: I think the fake news bit is pretty bad, too
cease: yet.
||||||||| Outside, the 11:30 PM downtown bus from Funfun Town pulls away, leaving Dave coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
sick-as-klokwkdog: it's been one bad thing after another. they can gloss over one or two, but beyond that, people worry that they're lying all the time. Kerry's comment off-mike really resonated.
cease: weapons of mass deception?
Dave: eh I thought I'd stop by for about ten minutes
cease: the ads for new medicare bill?
cease: i look forward to harry shearer's take on that
cease: hello again, dave
sick-as-klokwkdog: yeah, all of it.
llanwydd: hey dave
Dave: hey everyone, anything interesting happen while I was gone?
cease: doc came and went
Merlyn: world war four
cease: Duke of Prunes is fading
Bubba's Brains: famine... pestilence....
sick-as-klokwkdog: he's preaching to the converted, Cat, like Limbaugh. Stern is addressing people who ;-) can go either way. Electorate is pretty evenly split between Dem's & Rs, so the independents are gonna swing the election. and they seem to be annoyed with GWB
Dave: oh good, another war, is it Eurasia and Oceania? I forget
cease: i really hope you're right, klok
sick-as-klokwkdog: am i typing making sense or is this just words coming out? hard to tell now, fuzzy...
sick-as-klokwkdog: jobs situation is horrible, Cat
Bubba's Brains: dogs and cats living together... real biblical type stuff.
cease: so i hear
Dave: oh yeah, mind the apples
Merlyn: your words are fuzzy
cease: i was quite stunned to see all the poverty when i was last in your country, in SF, one of the richest cities
sick-as-klokwkdog sees donkey weddings on the horizon
cease: everyone was complaining about jobs or school cutbacks or general lack of services
sick-as-klokwkdog: well, they turned off all the welfare. "Get a job!"
Bubba's Brains: fuzz ... /fuzz
cease: not that generals are in want of work
sick-as-klokwkdog: oh yeah, see Mark Fiore's latest cartoon in Salon, for ezzample.
cease: can war hero kerry capture enough of the veteran vote to win, i wonder?
cease: about all the new jobs? i saw that. read salon every day
sick-as-klokwkdog: somehow, I dont' think this admin. is going to be so gung-ho about counting every military absentee ballot for THIS election!
Bubba's Brains: {type-focus: extra fuzzy;}
cease: i think you're right
sick-as-klokwkdog: "school daze", Cat, the flash cartoon by Mark Fiore
cease: burger flippers are the new manufacturing sector
Bubba's Brains: Mayor McChees for secretary of labor!
sick-as-klokwkdog: yeah, interesting article about offshoring and whether it's really good for the economy in NYT Business today (Thur)
Dave: well folks, I'm gonna head out in to the sunset for real this time, the last sunset was just melting yellow plastic with a ittle black soot for good measure, later un til next week
||||||||| Catherwood says "11:37 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs Dave by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
cease: with lots of little melty hats
Bubba's Brains: shoved out the airlock again....
sick-as-klokwkdog: nite Dave
cease: by again dave
sick-as-klokwkdog: night everyone...
Bubba's Brains: nite klok
sick-as-klokwkdog:

cease: well i guess i have to put food in oven eventually
sick-as-klokwkdog: bye!
cease: see ya'll on a more regular basis
||||||||| sick-as-klokwkdog leaves at 11:40 PM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
Bubba's Brains pulls the rip cord too.
llanwydd: well, I must recede for the evening.
||||||||| Bubba's Brains leaves at 11:41 PM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
cease: off we leap
Merlyn: breaking up now?
Merlyn: bye
||||||||| Merlyn leaves at 11:42 PM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
llanwydd: my contact lenses are in the car. I must bring them in so they don't freeze and then I will become unconscious.
llanwydd: I'll see you all a week older. But that's completely subjective.
llanwydd: But subjectivity is objective.
llanwydd: Good night
||||||||| It's 11:50 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| cease - dead from pneumonia

||||||||| Catherwood walks in wearing his pyjamas, yawns, and mumbles "It's midnight here in New York city"...then he falls over and starts snoring loudly..
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 1 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| Duke of Prunes leaves at 1:18 AM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
||||||||| Catherwood enters, and announces to all and sundry "It's 4:32 AM, time to change the log file and clean out unused rooms; please exit the chat room for a minute or two. Thank you for your patience."
