Archive

||||||||| 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 November 24, 2005 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood pipes up: "8:51 AM and late as usual, it's Firebroiled, just back from Elmertown."
Firebroiled: Does anyone have any hot groat clusters to stuff my tourque...??
Firebroiled: Gobble-gobble gobble-gobble gobble-gobble gobble-gobble gobble-gobble gobble-gobble gobble-gobble talk to you all later!!
||||||||| At 8:54 AM, Firebroiled vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, November 24, 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?"
||||||||| 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 Dexter Fong disembarks at 9:29 PM.
Dexter Fong: Well, who'da thought
Dexter Fong: How are you Catherwood
||||||||| Catherwood walks right past Dexter Fong
Dexter Fong: Up yours Catherwood
||||||||| Catherwood walks alongside Dexter Fong and mumbles "My ears are burning..."
||||||||| 9:30 PM: Tourkay jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past hour!"
Dexter Fong: Gobble Gobble Tourkey
Tourkay: Where's everybody?
Dexter Fong: Indeed!!
Tourkay: Don't tell me they're still eating
Dexter Fong: 'pparently
Tourkay: Catherwood get me some people
||||||||| Catherwood gets Tourkay some people.
Tourkay: Roll a couple and leave them on the side table in the sitting room
Tourkay: Let's burn some Catherwood...
||||||||| Catherwood steps up to Tourkay and says "Typing my name just to rile me, eh?"
Tourkay: And the terrible news drought continues......
||||||||| 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 cease disembarks at 9:36 PM.
Tourkay: they should put a chip up your ass, Catherwood
||||||||| Catherwood rushes over to Tourkay and mumbles "oh, fuck off Tourkay!"

Tourkay: Hey cease

||||||||| It's 9:40 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Dexter Fong - dead from dengue fever
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Dexter Fong tiptoes in around 9:40 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last year's "unpleasant incident."

klokwkdoggobble: BTW, RIP Vine DeLoria Jr., author of Custer Died For Your Sins
principlepoop: isn't that the way they say it goes, but give me the number so I can call

klokwkdoggobble: those are Canadian dollars, not the boring American kind, Tweeny
Armadillo Tweeny: Don't worry 'bout me, no...
Dr. Headphones: i want one of those canadian bills with the hockey players on it :)

Woody One: He was on that show Get a Life with him.
Dr. Headphones: chris isn't dead unless it's extremely recent
klokwkdoggobble: no, Chris is alive
cease: chirs? yes his dad was in that
Dexter Fong: Christ Lives...thank God
Dr. Headphones: he could have ODed on tryptophan today, who knows?
cease: not necesarily
Woody One: Did Bob die? Not sure.
principlepoop: don't forget the H
klokwkdoggobble: Dex isn't reading Ken's posts closely
Merlyn: so chris elliot is the son of half of a comedy team, while ben stiller is the son of a whole comedy team
klokwkdoggobble: Bob lives I think
klokwkdoggobble: if you say so, Merlyn
cease: and Nino is a son of a hole
Dr. Headphones: we can forgive dex after all that 12 year old single malt he's imbibed today ;)
Dexter Fong: I think Bob lives, therfore I live
principlepoop: should be single at 12
klokwkdoggobble: according to IMDB, he's alive and has been since late 1929
cease: only for subgeniuses
Merlyn: an underage single malt
Dr. Headphones: i had no liquor or any other mind-numbing substances today except 2 pieces of cheesecake
cease: i dont even remember being single
principlepoop: 1929 was late? 1928 ran long?
Dexter Fong remembers seeing Cat alone
cease: even though i still wear clothes from that distant era
Dr. Headphones: i remember seeing cat ballou, NOT starring wally ballou
klokwkdoggobble: poop -- 1928 went into overtime before it was decided...
cease: we dont travel together much, we just live together
Dexter Fong: afk for liquid re-markeable
cease: wally ballou, that was bob/ray character. great stuff
principlepoop: they called it sudden death back then, now it is sudden victory
cease: that was jane fonda, as i recall
Woody One: They always change the good names..
cease: or maybe it was ho chi minh
klokwkdoggobble: cat - is the one who said that?
Dr. Headphones: poop: speaking of renamed things, i saw condom machine in bathroom the other day, selling "freedom ticklers" as opposed to the old "french" variety. festooned with american flags and fireworks
principlepoop: yes, department of war was a better name
klokwkdoggobble: Yeah, Woody -- let's change it back to the War Department
cease: lol kend
Dr. Headphones: the best defense is a good offense
principlepoop: great minds ahh you know the rest
klokwkdoggobble: Ken - a dead giveaway that they're made in China
principlepoop: and freedom fries, super
Dr. Headphones: klok: probably. and i wouldn't trust my health and life to any chinese birth/disease control device such as that
klokwkdoggobble once bought a "US Drives" CD-ROM unit for the computer. Box was festooned with US flags everywhere. It was totally Chinese.
principlepoop: from department of war, to department of defense to department of imperialism
Woody One: Night, folks. A long day of stuffing and getting stuffed. Happy Thanksgiving.
||||||||| "10:46 PM? I'm late!" exclaims Woody One, who then scurries out through the french doors and down through the flowerbeds.
Dr. Headphones: later, wood1, take care

Dr. Headphones: hey, how many beatles references are on "HCYB"? i found 3 the last time i listened, but can't remember them all. coo coo cha coo, i'm so tired, and something else
cease: shadow valley condoms
cease: i think proctor posted the total number on an early planet proctor
Dexter Fong: Shallow Valet Condoms
cease: if you lived here, you'd be a dead sperm
Dr. Headphones: ah, is there an archive of those? will have to look
cease: 8 or 9 i htink
Merlyn: heh
principlepoop: hehe he said shadow valley hehe
cease: although his explanation of at least one of them sounded alittle suspect
Dr. Headphones: cat: forgiven since they were probably high when they did it anyway
cease: thats not a valley, that's my wife
cease: indeed, kend
Dexter Fong: A little suspect? The midget got away with it, and I was left holding his bag
cease: a shadow moves over ther land would be perfect tonight
Dr. Headphones: dex: the one with the pickle?
klokwkdoggobble: dunno; kind of get the impression that they get their high working with each other and that any chemical stuff might actually get in the way
principlepoop: hehe I said furrow hehe
Dr. Headphones: perhaps right, klok. i know i thought i got it all when i was stoned, but heard so much more when straight
Dexter Fong: Kend^ The one with the little pickle, the cocheron
cease: excepting alice
cease: that was about a thanksgiving dinner too
Dr. Headphones: cat: someone sent me the entire lyrics of "alice's restaurant" for thanksgiving today. i read it and laughed
cease: that couldnt be beat
cease: funny song
cease: better than the flick
klokwkdoggobble: Ken -- oh, the optimum working condition for a listener is another matter entirely!!
principlepoop: a different world
Dr. Headphones: he has never developed any symptoms of huntington's chorea, has he?
cease: somtimes he sings, sometimes he sobs
klokwkdoggobble: still out there playing

Dr. Headphones: dex: that's C minus, i believe
cease: chick and arlo, together again for the first time
principlepoop: turkey sandwich already?
Dr. Headphones: snack? i'll be having turkey sandwiches for a week now
Dexter Fong: Gobble Koclwkgodoggle
cease: snack, its better than smack!
Dexter Fong: Kend^ Try Turkey Tetrazini
Dr. Headphones: wouldn't know, cat, never tried the latter. had the option a couple times, but wisely passed it up.
principlepoop: give me a smack and i'll smack you back
Dr. Headphones: tetra is a fish, isn't it? i don't mix fish and poultry
cease: youve never had a snack? thats odd
principlepoop: and no dairy, it is not kosher
Dexter Fong: Tetra is a fish, Zini is pasta...Tetrazini is fish shaped pasta
Dr. Headphones: i'm not kosher either
cease: all these junkies wandering around downtown, looking for alleys to fix in.
principlepoop: I thought zini was the warrior princess
cease: anyone who saw that and became a junkie is beyond my imaginiation
Dr. Headphones: poop: i preferred gabrielle, the sidekick. much cuter, i thought
principlepoop: hell yes
Dexter Fong: Cat: Saw what?
Dr. Headphones: although seeing lucy lawless have her tit pop out at that hockey game was a sight to see :)
cease: theres a particular part of vancouver, the downtown eastside, which is crawling with junkies. literally crawling
principlepoop: lucy braless hehe
Dexter Fong: Gives new meaning to the word "Icing"
cease: oding in the alleys, needles in veins
Dr. Headphones: cold makes them babies stand right up and salute!
cease: saluting babies? you ARE in america!
Dr. Headphones: i'm lusting in my heart again. forgive me, jesus
Dr. Headphones: it's ok, i threw a towel over it and did some pushups
Dexter Fong: Lucy Lawless put in the box for Hooking
principlepoop: move to dover and wait for your punishment ken
cease: the white cliffs of delaware?
Dexter Fong: Or come to NYC and get punished right away
klokwkdoggobble: what hockey game?? :-)
Dr. Headphones: years ago, dex, she was singing "star spangled banner" or something like that
principlepoop: or roanoke for hell on earth
Dr. Headphones: and isn't she a kiwi?
Dexter Fong: Klok: The Hockey game between the old gods and the new ones
klokwkdoggobble: moving to dover IS punishment coming
klokwkdoggobble: definitely kiwi
cease: i think neal gaimans' running out of ideas
klokwkdoggobble: but she married the director
cease: or else he's been in minnesota too long
principlepoop: the gods have lost their way
Dexter Fong: Cat: tell him to stop buy, we've got lots of them
klokwkdoggobble: being in Minnesota IS too long...
Dr. Headphones: poop: they forgot to leave a trail of breadcrumbs
cease: his books (etc etf) are all about battles between gods, old vs new, etc
Merlyn: I resemble that!
principlepoop: somebody used the breadcrumbs for stuffing
cease: i thought he left england to get some american inspiration. now maybe he should move to japan
Dexter Fong: ...and the stuffing for bread
Dr. Headphones: the inventor of stove-top stuffing died last week
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 11 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Dr. Headphones: merl: set his clock!
cease: stuffing must have been invented by the poor
Dexter Fong: Your'e an idiot Cathewood
Merlyn: I can't, it's the system clock
cease: something to do with stale bread
principlepoop: i think so cat
principlepoop: ahh overthrow the system
Merlyn: I can't change the server clock
Dr. Headphones: cat: i like bread pudding with a nice sauce on top also
cease: yes, thats good too
Dr. Headphones: can you write some code to offset it?
Dexter Fong: Merl: Then you should come on after each C-Wood announcement with the correct time
Dr. Headphones: not that we really care, since we all have our own clocks too and know what time it really is
principlepoop: but poor catherwood is in his own space and time
||||||||| Catherwood says "It's 11:02 PM"
Dexter Fong: Kend^ DOes anybody really know what time it is?
klokwkdoggobble: Merlyn -- is the server owner not sympathetic?
Dr. Headphones: they do in chicago
klokwkdoggobble: Dex - only in Chicago
Dr. Headphones: the server owner should find out about the "autoset" function you can turn on
Merlyn: I can write code for an offset (and I do for 1-hr time zone problems with indiana vs. NY), but it's harder to add to things like the reaper
Dr. Headphones: i drove through chicago at 3am last week, didn't have to slow down for anything. just set the cruise and went
principlepoop: i think it is saturday, in the park, maybe the 4th of jul
Dr. Headphones: merl: don't worry about it
Merlyn: I keep telling him to install an auto-clock sync in a cron job
principlepoop: lose sleep M, obsess, worry, even fidget
Merlyn: I figure he will eventually, so I haven't bothered with time adjusts
Dexter Fong can't remember the last crom job he had
Dr. Headphones: and i believe indiana will be "normal" next year, i seem to recall their general assembly voted to go on daylight next year
Dr. Headphones: but some of the eastern section of the state is fighting to become central. it's all up to sec. of transporation now, just had hearings last week
principlepoop: that is because you move your car all the time fong
Dexter Fong: Kend^ Too late!! We're going on double daylight
klokwkdoggobble: Merlyn -- maybe you should tell him differently, as in "Do you know if Vizaweb servers have more accurate clocks?" ;-)
Merlyn: we're all going on Catherwood[TM] time
||||||||| Catherwood says "It's 11:05 PM, precisely!"
Dr. Headphones: dex: i heard tom and ray talking about that a few weeks ago
cease: what is that firesign line, double golden slasher time, or something like that
Merlyn: he's a friend of doc's, we get the webspace really cheap
cease: i wonder where doc and lili are tonight
klokwkdoggobble: oh
Dr. Headphones: i wonder HOW lili is?
klokwkdoggobble: i'm sure they're having a good time
Dexter Fong: Cat: Yes...has to do with overtime pay for techies and other non on-screen staff
principlepoop: time and the calender are manmade devices to control us, I will have a meeting about a revolt in the future
Dr. Headphones: time and tide wait for no man
klokwkdoggobble: while they're at it, we should switch to the 5th era Mayan calendar
Dexter Fong: All aboard the SS Canute...sailing whenever for whatever
Dr. Headphones: klok: that will come in 2012, december, i think
klokwkdoggobble: now that's a way to make hay while the sun shines
klokwkdoggobble: everyone ready to move my throne?
Dexter Fong: and at midnight too with Mutant Blue
cease: i think if there was any change in lili's situationi, we'd be informed
principlepoop: I thought it sailed on 6/6/6 at 6:06:6
Dr. Headphones: or a way to make moonshine while the hay grows?
klokwkdoggobble: we sure don't get informed much
Dexter Fong: pp is a witch..burn and hang him
Dr. Headphones: dex: in that order?
klokwkdoggobble: happens all the time, Ken
cease: hey boy, wuttcha doin over in the slave quarters
cease: nothin pa, just getting rid of some nickels and dimes
principlepoop: don't scorch me, use a low temperature and meat thermometer
Dexter Fong: Kend^ Yes..after the burning, less wieght, can use less thick rope
Dr. Headphones: remember cartoon from years ago. viking on top of charred corpse, another one says, "no, first you rape, then you pillage, then you burn"
principlepoop: being a crispy critter will make me look like the good ole days, yassir
Dr. Headphones: yassir is dead
principlepoop: that was really ringo
principlepoop: arafat took ringo's place
Dexter Fong wonders if anyone here remembers/knows about the philosophy of the dog:"If you can't eat it or fuck it, piss on it"?
Dr. Headphones: so paul is the only one left alive?
cease: yosarrian has dissappeared
Dr. Headphones: yosarrian is VP of marketing at halliburton
cease: sounds like the us, dex
cease: oh thats right
principlepoop: paul died first
Dr. Headphones: but the walrus was reincarnated
Dexter Fong: Cat: I read/heard it someplace sometime ago but can't remember exactly where/who
principlepoop: remember the sargent pepper band album with the hand over his head, and bare feet
Dr. Headphones: well, dear friends, i must needs to go to kitchen, do some cleanup before bedtime. take care, dear friends, and will see you all again when it's possible
principlepoop: nobody has mentioned bush and his exit strategy
cease: keep em kending
principlepoop: gobble gobble ken
||||||||| Dr. Headphones is forcibly ejected just as the clock strikes 11:16 PM.
Dexter Fong: Kend^ Hope to see you soon =))
cease: i thikn its called election day, 2006, poop
klokwkdoggobble: nite Ken
principlepoop: he could resign
klokwkdoggobble: Dex - you could Google it, also search groups
cease: pigs could fly
Dexter Fong: pp: Not till god tells him to
principlepoop: his poll number are approaching nixons
Dexter Fong: pp: THat good?
cease: his handlers still run the country. i cant see that changing any time soon
principlepoop: yes, not indictable, yet....
principlepoop: yes, I have been reading that, even clinton had to do things to please the 'powers'
Dexter Fong: Need a Democrat SAenate.
principlepoop: yes
Dexter Fong: , and even ore important a democrat House
klokwkdoggobble: need a democratic country
principlepoop: cutting foodstamps to give tax cuts to millionaires, they have no shame
cease: indeed
Dexter Fong: klok: Other that the massive voter fraud, we've got one...just need a better media
principlepoop: people who crawl through all the hoops to get foodstamps are not fooling around about needing food
klokwkdoggobble: poop - why? the millionaires never wanted to pay for those food stamps; makes sense
cease: just read article in ny review called The End of News by Micahel Massing
cease: on how the right wing has taken over the infosphere in the us
principlepoop: you are right klok, but if the poor and decent people vote....
Dexter Fong collects Food stamps, the 1998 inverted Turkey stamp is now worth millions
cease: the combination buisness oligarchs, xtian zealots and well placed con men are running yhour country
klokwkdoggobble: it won't matter poop -- they've rigged the voting districts and the vote counting
cease: and the news that would affect people to vote against them is supressed
Dexter Fong: Cat: Don't worry, we'll be running yours soon
cease: tehre already a lot of that
Dexter Fong: Cat: YOu Commie farmers are through!!
cease: cnada has little soreinity, unlike, say, Venezuela
klokwkdoggobble: that's right Dex -- you canadians better take a long hard look at what happened to Saddam
principlepoop: stop stop it, I have seen those computer machines at work, in a small town election the woman knew that 5 of her family had voted for her but the machine showed no votes for her
principlepoop: they just said oops, not a problem lool
cease: yes, your "democracy" is a thing of the past
klokwkdoggobble: we see how you oppress your people, denying the suffering sick all that surgery so that they must come here to the free, privatized USA for help
Dexter Fong: pp: Well that's because the woman's High Q was low
Merlyn: logging out folks, see you next week, and keep circulating those indians
klokwkdoggobble: nite merlyn!
cease: by merl
principlepoop: I just heard that the workers at wal-mart are often eligible for medicaid and are directed to sign up for it and food stamps by wal-mart people
Dexter Fong: Come to America experience Laser surgery....see how great America is
cease: is that in the flick?
||||||||| At 11:25 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Merlyn!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...

Dexter Fong: I know Klok...Apology accpeted and thankfully

Dexter Fong: Understood Cat:

cease: i wonder if we could do that?
cease: merl has left, he would know
klokwkdoggobble with no animals to care for, brings his car into his house with him
cease: new technology of something
Dexter Fong: Well I don't have a web cam..not planning to get one either
cease: you have a camcorder?
klokwkdoggobble: sometimes digital still cameras can be used
klokwkdoggobble: the problem is bandwidth, and also grooming
cease: yes my new digitla still camera says it can be
Dexter Fong: lol klok
klokwkdoggobble does not want to dress up for FST chat
cease: indeed
Dexter Fong dresses down for chat
cease: i owuld never chat with a camera on myself.
klokwkdoggobble: not in this freezing cold, but the rest of the year, prefers the "fine underwear" look
cease: i'm not even interested in looking at others
Dexter Fong: Klok: The Munsingwear Man?
klokwkdoggobble: LOL
cease: more a way of passing on visual information in realtime
Dexter Fong: Cat: I dunno, always interested in what Kend^ looked like =))
klokwkdoggobble: more like the "I don't give a s***" look
cease: my editing cvourse finishes next week and i'm thinking of projects to get into to practice new skills
cease: i'm thinking of going back to the Oona Gets a Job project i started, putting firesign lines and my own script to images from our euro trip.
Dexter Fong: afk for refill etc......
klokwkdoggobble: cat - there is some way to have a whiteboard to scribble on and also some way to pin things to a bulletin board in some meetingware systems
cease: i promised pa i'd give it to them in feb and its almost end of year
klokwkdoggobble: cat - did you have a look at that Pixel Corps site?
cease: no but i will
cease: i relaly dont want to have to learn anything new until i get a handle on this final cut software
cease: its labour intensive, which is good. an antidote to lassitude
klokwkdoggobble: they have to edit, add slides/animation overlays, compress & put those hour 3-camera videos out in 3 days or less
cease: oh that thing you sent me? yes i saw that. did i reply? i think its great
cease: if i were into a career, like most of my fellow students, that wouldbe the way to go
Dexter Fong: Lassitude? I never been in Lassitude!
klokwkdoggobble: the web page link, the place where they teach those who already know some about video production a whole lot more and provide a virtual community to share ideas and information
cease: i mistook pixel for pixar in your query
klokwkdoggobble: oh
cease: horse lassitudes, where jim morrison fell in love with a filly
Dexter Fong: Chant filly lace and a big disgrace
klokwkdoggobble: of course, I only see the results they make for This Week in Tech. But I have learned quite a bit about the "industry" as I've watched them struggle to make better-quality product using students and trainees
Dexter Fong: Better Technology thru peasantry
klokwkdoggobble: I think it was the previous video or maybe last week's audio where Leo LaPorte gave out some of the economics of the entire Tech TV channel
klokwkdoggobble: the part about having to pay cable operators to carry the channel was news to me
Dexter Fong: Nothin's for free Little Beaver
klokwkdoggobble: sounds like starting a cable channel about anything requires about US$500M up front; maybe as much as $3Bn
Dexter Fong: Stay stuned for Channel 85 listeners
klokwkdoggobble: this is where video podcasts begin to nibble away at the mainstream broadcasts: everyone stops watching general stuff that is "sort of" what they want to see and goes to watching downloadable stuff that is "exactly" what they want to see
cease: ok im on phone
klokwkdoggobble: yes, that's OK with me
klokwkdoggobble: remaining problem is finding the funds to pay for the bandwith needed to send that stuff around
Dexter Fong: Klok: Phone is *OK* or podcastare *OK*?
klokwkdoggobble: yes
klokwkdoggobble got a new phone Wed, BTW
Dexter Fong: Klok: Me 2
Dexter Fong: What's your name, I'll look up your number
klokwkdoggobble: I think I know why it was in Job Lot for $29. I nearly ended up shouting "Tech Support! Tech Support!"
klokwkdoggobble: it's under Rafael Sabatini TEmple 33614
Dexter Fong: TS ELiot = Tech Support Eliot
klokwkdoggobble: is he the half-brother of Chris Eliot?
Dexter Fong: Simon TEmplar?
Dexter Fong: The Saint?
klokwkdoggobble: The phone is a Bell South cordless with answering machine and 15-character alphanumeric dialing directory
Dexter Fong never dials Aplphametrics
klokwkdoggobble: It's programmed in SMS English. You know, press the '2' once for 'a', twice for 'b', thrice for 'c' or again for '2"...
Dexter Fong: Let them call me
klokwkdoggobble: each thing - like setting the ringer volume, requires pushing about seven buttons in a sequence that's shown in a kind of flowchart in the instructions
Dexter Fong: instructions = instrusions
klokwkdoggobble: that's fine, Dex, but only if you can hear the ringer or managed to turn on the answering machine
klokwkdoggobble: ...and learn how to listen to the messages before the mailbox fills up
Dexter Fong: Ringer? I spell my namd Dinger...or is it Regnad
klokwkdoggobble: the worst of it is -- all those multi-step instructions are in tiny print and the phone times out each function after 10 seconds of inactivity
klokwkdoggobble: so you sit there squinting at the flowchart and finally read the line and...you're already cancelled and back at "go" again
Dexter Fong: Klok: I'll betcha that phone is either Japaneses or Chinese...they do em that way cause thay know they can drive us round eyes crazy
klokwkdoggobble: the advantage is that the answering machine can be run from/thru the handset. In fact, I've already activated it 4 or 5 times by mistake :-(
Dexter Fong: Klokwkdog...another Victim of Technology
Dexter Fong: Blinded by Science
klokwkdoggobble: Dex - nah, it's some programmer like me showing off. They could've made a 'regular' phone with memory. You know, to dial Jerry's number, press the 'M' button and the numeral 4. You tape a list on the back of the handset: "Jerry=4", etc.
cease: still here?
cease: phone call from my parents. their gas is about to be cut off
Dexter Fong: still there?
klokwkdoggobble: no, Cat, we both left

cease: didnt pay gas bill
cease: thats why i had to go to la in january
Dexter Fong: Well...there's cause and effect

Dexter Fong: and giving
klokwkdoggobble: they didn't like him?

Dexter Fong: Blind Newsboy arrested for close contact with ewe

Dexter Fong: Things burn faster with phosphorus
klokwkdoggobble had forgotten his periodic table

klokwkdoggobble: did you see that at Ikea?
