||||||||| 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 May 26, 2005 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood ushers Dave inside, makes a note of the time (7:15 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
Dave: hi folks who read this, just wanted to let you all know that I won't be on tonight most likely, if I do it will be probably at midnight eastern time, I graduated from high school (a distant memory to many of you) today, so we're going out to dinner, but I really hope everyone is well, special prayers to Lili and Ken, but all in here are great people if just slightly insane, I will attempt to come on and say a brief hello but ifI don't, then have fun chatting and I will see all next week, layter
||||||||| "Hey Dave!" ... Dave turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 7:18 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
||||||||| Catherwood stomps in at 8:44 PM, dragging       TOR       by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this idiot?"
||||||||| It's 9:00 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
|||||||||       TOR       - dead from the yaws
 ||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, May 26, 2005 - 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 sneaks into the room, and intones "Announcing 'elton bob', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:14 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
elton bob: TGIT
elton bob: anabodda heahhh?
||||||||| 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 klokwkNor'easter disembarks at 9:17 PM.
klokwkNor'easter: it's quiet...too quiet
||||||||| klokwkNor'easter leaves to catch the 9:17 PM train to Manchester.
elton bob: no longah
||||||||| Outside, the 9:18 PM uptown bus from Connecticut pulls away, leaving klokwkNor'easter coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
||||||||| "Hey klokwkNor'easter!" ... klokwkNor'easter turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 9:18 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and intones "Announcing 'klokwkNor'easter', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:18 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the vestibule...
klokwkNor'easter: whew, this is hard work
klokwkNor'easter: more lines on screen now
elton bob: ...like to know where the river boat sails tonight...
elton bob: I'm llanwydd but I'm listening to "Tumbleweed Connection" so I chose this appropriate moniker.
||||||||| Catherwood ushers Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle in through the front door at 9:20 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: I'm not a drinkin' man on duty Mr. Cox. I swear to hell I saw it...
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: I'm not a drinkin' man on duty Mr. Cox. I swear to hell I saw it...
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Double Trouble!
elton bob: I see what you mean by more lines on the screen klok
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Elton rocks. Love lies/Funeral.
elton bob: took myself a bluuuuuuuuuuuuue canoe
klokwkNor'easter bumped the setting to 25 lines after he logged out
klokwkNor'easter: logged back in, "name taken". cancel? yes. oops. too late
klokwkNor'easter: log in again -- back to default 10 lines. exit again and change it back to 25
klokwkNor'easter: am i here on the worng nite? no CNI? no chatters?
elton bob: I'm not having any trouble klok
elton bob: It IS very strange that there's no one else here yet
klokwkNor'easter: no, it's just the way you set up the session before logging in. i didn't
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: SRV's band. They still make great music.
klokwkNor'easter: if I change it in the session, a control panel comes up that does not go away
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: You're getting sleeepy, windoze.
klokwkNor'easter: if I log out and change it and log in again, the "name taken" dialog, if you hit 'cancel', resets the session settings to default
klokwkNor'easter: merlyn, it's a bug! ;-)
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in and snorts derisively "Presenting 'doctec', just granted probation at 9:26 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
klokwkNor'easter: hi DT!
elton bob: What's SRV, tween?
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: But that one of the bugs!
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Yo doc...
doctec: hi guys - i'm early, in part because i can't stay long
elton bob: hey doc
klokwkNor'easter: how's Lili, Doc?

Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Like me to send an MP3?
klokwkNor'easter: they doin' the works?
elton bob: aha
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: How's Lili faring?
doctec: she got all marked up by the plastic surgeon who'll be doing the reconstruction surgery after her mastectomy - it's a tag team op
elton bob: I'm not a great Vaughn fan, thanks
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Yikes. Best to her and hers...
doctec: thanks. she'll be recuperating at the hospital for 5 days
klokwkNor'easter: definitely, our hopes and prayers go with her
||||||||| "9:30 PM? 9:30 PM!!" says Catherwood, "llanwydd should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as llanwydd enters and sits in the comfy chair.
doctec: i've been furiously loading up her new ipod (given to her by me and others on her birthday 5/15) so she won't go crazy having to watch commercial television
||||||||| 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 Mr. Motion disembarks at 9:30 PM.
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Hey LL...
doctec: hi lland
Mr. Motion: G'day Y'all
llanwydd: evenin folks
Mr. Motion: Where's Ah Clem?
doctec: and i'll be loading itunes daily with her fave kcrw feeds which i will be capturing and editing daily so i can download them to her ipod each evening during visiting hours
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: An object in motion will stay in motion unless General Motors stock drops.
llanwydd: I've been making homemade embibements. I just tapped a gallon of mead
klokwkNor'easter: dunno, they may have dialing problems if they're getting the storm we are
llanwydd: finished off my sangria last week
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Really, Doc, hope for a very quick recovery indeed.
Mr. Motion: Bummer a bunch of nerds on there and it sucks !
klokwkNor'easter: DT - kcrw is archiving MBE for 24 hours, which should ease your task, besides the three daily repeats
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: You lost your gria?
doctec: anyway we are about to head out for a light nosh, after which we will be getting to bed early since she needs to be at the hospital at 6am. thanks for the kind wishes sherriff, klok & all
llanwydd: the mead has a good enough kick but it's too sweet
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Take care, Doc.
llanwydd: yeah now I'm sans gria
klokwkNor'easter: hi & best wishes to Lili!
doctec: klok: i tried to access the MBE archive yesterday, it's a real plaer feed and i got an error: "dns server does not exist." annoying to say the least
klokwkNor'easter: haven't tried it myself, DT
klokwkNor'easter: i figured it wouldn't be MP3
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Let's play "Name The Domains".
doctec: good thing i have adobe audition (formerly known as cool edit) so i can capture the feeds live from 12 to 3 each day
||||||||| cease tiptoes in around 9:35 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last night's "unpleasant incident."
llanwydd: ok. Bill, Fred, Tony, Barbara, Corky,
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: I've got CNI up via MP3.
klokwkNor'easter: DT - I use Winamp + Streamripper plug-in, does a fair job
doctec: i've filled her 20 gig ipod about halfway with an amazingly huge selection of her face cds
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Yo cat...
llanwydd: my domain is Jim
cease: i was just uploading a bunch of pix to my blog, which of course you're all reading at www.seemrealland.blogspot.com
klokwkNor'easter: The 128 kbps KCRW feed generates gawdawful big files for 3 hours, though
doctec: klok: i was thinking of doing that, only annoyance is that if i go that route i get the news at the top of the hour, which i don't want - but i may try it tomorrow on her desktop pc just to see what i get
cease: i was hunting flowers in stanley park and suddenly came upon a big heron
klokwkNor'easter: hey cat, not reading at the moment, but will get on it shortly
cease: just sitting on a log a few feet from me.
llanwydd: big heroin. Cat, I never knew
doctec: klok: yes they are big files - but i have a 250 gig hard drive that's only about 1/2 to 2/3 full so i have plenty of room for them
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: That's another fine mess you've gotten us into...
cease: i guess there are no small herons
klokwkNor'easter: DT - thanks to Roto I use freeware MP3 Direct Cut editor to cut and splice the feed, works nicely
Mr. Motion: Heron good in a white wine sauce!
cease: normally birds fly away as soon as you get anywhere near them. this one just sat there
doctec: klok: i'll have to look into that editor - thanx for the tip
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: And far away in remote ding dung provence...
llanwydd: I'm drinking a wine sauce right now
klokwkNor'easter: Of course I rarely do more than a few minutes of KCRW, but I use streamripper on slower stuff (16 kbps) all the time, for hours, and post-edit
cease: how is lili, doc?
llanwydd: I wonder if I ought to make a dessert out of it instead of drink it
Mr. Motion: Mead pie heap good Kemosabe!
doctec: cat: she's going in for the mastectomy/reconstruction op tomorrow - will be in the op room 5 hrs followed by recuperation at the hospital thru next tues
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: No true Mississippi cowhard would leave his wine celler undefended in such a dangerous time!
llanwydd: It's almost as bad as port
cease: all the best to her, of course
llanwydd: but the alcohol content came out pretty good
doctec: i have loaded her new ipod with tons of her fave cds and will be dumping mp3s of her fave kcrw feeds each day
||||||||| It's 9:40 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:

cease: great to hear, doc. for her too
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Listening to and old Clarke/Duke Album "Clarke/Duke Project". Pretty serious.
doctec: i have to say, apple really did a great job on the design and feature set implementation for the ipod - it's a great device

llanwydd: hi E
doctec: sherriff: wow, haven't heard any of that jazz/rock fusion stuff in a long time
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Yo E...
Elayne: Evenin' all. Didn't think I'd see Jim and Fran here, as Fran's father just passed on.
||||||||| Catherwood sneaks into the room, and intones "Announcing 'ah,clem', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:41 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
llanwydd: I'm still listening to Tumbleweed Connection
Elayne: She wrote a lovely remembrance of him on her blog today.

doctec: out of curiosity: who here has seen sith happens ... of those who have, what did you think of it ... of those who haven't, do you intend to see it while it is in theaters?

principalP: never heard of marijuana cheese
||||||||| 11:20 PM: Jean Clavier jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past hour!"
Bunnyboy: That's right. We still manufacture the boats to bring that cheap crap in here.
klokwkNor'easter: sure Poop -- wars, financial scandal, empty threats, deception, blackmail, and strong-arming of weak countries
Jean Clavier: Bonjour!
Dr. Headphones: jp! you of the french aliases

Jean Clavier: No chicken bones, Cat...dangerous!
Dr. Headphones: when i finally get a keyboard/piano of my own, will buy both books of the WTC and learn them all
Jean Clavier: Probably more like even-tempered.
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: New England Digital. Nothin' like it.
klokwkNor'easter: all service jobs are now Halliburton jobs, to a first approximation
Jean Clavier: Just got home from an r&b gig...
Bunnyboy: Yassir Jarlsberg.

Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Yes - Love Will Find A Way geeeze
Dr. Headphones: jc: i have strange electronic piece at home with even temperment instead of the "normal" scale. sounds really weird when they are in ratios instead of standard logarithmic steps
Jean Clavier: Interesting, Ken...I recommend a listen to Wendy Carlos' Beauty In The Beast for odd tunings
principalP: get a copy of the Balkan hot step dr H
klokwkNor'easter: good log function is hard, electronically, at least analog. digital is getting there now, if you don't need RF rates.
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: What synth, Ken? Prophet will do that, as will DX 7 II.
Dr. Headphones: wendy or walter? i keep on getting them confused.....
klokwkNor'easter: depends on the year, Ken
Jean Clavier: One in the same, Ken
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Walter, this is Walter...
Dr. Headphones: i need to buy CD of his(her?) first, i played the LP until it's unlistenable

Bunnyboy: While we're on the subject...
Bunnyboy: http://www.wendycarlos.com/
Dr. Headphones: the brandenburg concerto on that first one was simply magnificent. and the scarlatti was non pareil
Jean Clavier: Which subject is that, Bunny
Jean Clavier: Good call...I was gonna do that.
cease: how's the old kazoo?
Dr. Headphones: god, but she's ugly
Bunnyboy: Why, Wendy Carlos, of course. There are some nifty MIDI files at her site.
Jean Clavier: Classic synth album reissued recently on CD - "Cosmic Furnace" by Roger Powell
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Just ordered a copy of TV or Not TV. Pretty sure these guys are going down through history like Fields and Marx Bros.

Bunnyboy: Head: But she talented. And surely that counts for something.
Jean Clavier: Yes, you must have all FST & related discs...(he said trying to hypnotize)
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Almost 3 weeks w/o TV (by choice). Sugestion for Rev. Barnstormer. "The Daily Affirmation".
cease: i dont think that's a finite commodity, jean
Dr. Headphones: bun: yes, i agree. soundtrack to "clockwork orange" was great even if movie was terrible (my opinion)
cease: the book was better
Jean Clavier: Note the new Carlos discs with rare film cues coming out soon (check the website)
principalP: terrible, for the year it was made? fiddlesticks
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Heros, or Hopheads?
cease: hopis
Jean Clavier: Cat, I hope that you are correct in that assumption - there surely must be more in the pipeline
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Arcosanti's coming along pretty well.
Bunnyboy: Tween: Yes, ain't life without TV grand? I do that every once in a great while.
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Needs to be maellable, like Habitat in Montreal.
cease: my point is no one knows how much they recorded. i seem to be one of few who taped a few of their old radio shows but there must be sound checks of them and all the live stuff they did. who knows how many discs that could be-
Bunnyboy: Holy crap! Take a look at Wendy's new rig!
Bunnyboy: http://www.wendycarlos.com/wurlynew/wafinal.JPG

Jean Clavier: Don Quixote...
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: All Hail Yucatan!
Dr. Headphones: sumbeach! a great keyboard setup fer shure

Bunnyboy: And when you think that the new rig is only slightly bigger than the original Moog monosynths Walter played...well!
Dr. Headphones: crap, it's 1130 in sector "N" and i have to make a pickup at 0700. g'nite all, see you again sometime, someplace

Jean Clavier: LOL, Cat
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Asia? In your wildest dreams...
Jean Clavier: http://www.asiaworld.org
Jean Clavier: Only time will tell, Tweeny
klokwkNor'easter: nite BB
Bunnyboy: I must confess, I never was a big Asia fan. They always seemed like slumming prog rockers, dragging through MTV in the 80s.
klokwkNor'easter was watching the news clips of Liverpool's return home...
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Society for General Systems Research. Managing Director. My Dad.
Jean Clavier: I like the records they did with Wetton - the more recent stuff leaves me cold.
Sheriff Lugar Tweenhandle: Brought me a copy from England.
