||||||||| 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 April 06, 2006 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood stomps in at 8:40 AM, dragging Firebroiled by the hair and asks "Can anyone vouch for this yahoo?"
Firebroiled: Well, do you know about the gatherin’? I said, do you know about the gatherin’? I say the gatherin’ of the Revolutionary Forces! Well, that’s gonna be at Reverend Westley’s pad--at three o’clock this afternoon--and be on time . . .
||||||||| Firebroiled departs at 8:40 AM, singing "Toad away, toad away; toad away, toad away! Where do you go when you're toad away?"
||||||||| Catherwood leads sexlancasternow in through the front door at 11:47 AM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
sexlancasternow: any1 want to meet 28 male
sexlancasternow: come on
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes some tones on a small xylophone and says "It is noon in New York this day of April 06, 2006 "- then a trapdoor opens up and swallows him.
||||||||| sexlancasternow, spotting Bradshaw, runs into The Sitting Room.
||||||||| Catherwood leads kiki inside, makes a note of the time (7:31 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
kiki: hello everybody
||||||||| It's 7:40 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| kiki - dead from the common cold
||||||||| 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, April 06, 2006 - 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?"
||||||||| ah,clem waltzes in at 9:13 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 pm eastern, Dear Friends!'
||||||||| Bambi bounds in at 9:32 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
Bambi: waiting under the Big Blue B :-)
Bambi: hi Clem
ah,clem: join the expectant croud, gathering now
||||||||| Catherwood walks up and intones "Presenting 'TwistedTween', just granted probation at 9:35 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
TwistedTween: Hey Clem, Bambi...
ah,clem: hi Tweeny
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and announces "Announcing 'cease', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:36 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the vestibule...
Bambi: hi Tweeny in his new place!
TwistedTween: Hi Cat...
ah,clem: hi Cat
TwistedTween: Barely, Bambi ;)
cease: hi folks
TwistedTween: How's the weather in Van, Cat?
Bambi: hi Cat!
Bambi: so are you sleeping on a mattress on the floor or the sofa?
TwistedTween: The bed and the computer are about the only things assembled at this point. Boxes everywhere. Sheesh...
Bambi: don't ya just hate moving!
TwistedTween: The apartment's much better, though. Lots of fresh air.
TwistedTween: Yeah, it's amazing all the junk you accumulate and tuck away. Especially when you have to pack it up and move it in the psace of two or three days. I'm just glad I was able to find a decent place. The Austin apartment martket is ridiculously tight.
Bambi: great! sometimes work out for the best huh?
TwistedTween: Oh, it was a work out, LoL...
cease: dont tuck junk fuck junk
TwistedTween: I needed the exercise, but not like that! Lost a couple of belt sizes in the process.
Bambi says she is a packrat ... and so is Clem ... you should have seen when we moved back in '98 LOL
TwistedTween: Afraid I come from a great liuneage of packrats.
TwistedTween: lineage
cease: my parents house in la was like that
cease: made me want to not have anything
TwistedTween: The rule is, never buy a house with an attic. When I helped my folks move in '85 I was carrying out boxes of financial records from the early 50's.
Bambi: LOL
TwistedTween: You always think, "well this part of something will come in handy some day".
TwistedTween: Still couldn't bear to throw out a couple of boxes of old Commodore 64 software.
Bambi: we have both an attic and a large crawl area - about 4 ft at the back of the house (due to hill)
TwistedTween: As if I'll crank up the SX-64 some day.
TwistedTween: Have you filled it up yet?
Bambi: we've been there since '98 ... and we are packrats LOL .. I would say it's a fair bet
ah,clem: put it this way, there is almost enough room to walk/crawl
TwistedTween: But you know those old copies of Wired are going to be needed at some future date.
TwistedTween: Along with the Osborne and PC/AT.
cease: i found some old lifes and such ffom 50s, kennedy's funeral and such
cease: maybe theyr'e worth a few pennies
cease: nat geos from the first world war era
TwistedTween: Those might actually be worth something on eBay.
cease: i didnt save them though
cease: there were people going over their stuff in search of treasures
cease: hope they found something
ah,clem: yes, just like my collection of "Scientific American" lol
cease: wont do my parents any good
TwistedTween: The vinyl collection was the worst. Hernia city. Especially the 78's of my parents.
cease: i used to oisten to 78s when i was young
cease: inherited stuff
TwistedTween: Have some 16rpm talking books from the 70's.
TwistedTween: Small crowd at the bar tonight, but then it's early.
TwistedTween: Are your folks getting settled OK?
TwistedTween: Sad to hear about Dr. H's Dad...
cease: you talking to me, tween?
cease: my parents come here on apr 30th
cease: wont be on chat that week
TwistedTween: Yeah, Cat. You said your folks were moving to Van?
TwistedTween: Best of luck.
cease: we brinigng them up here, as they wish
cease: the place i got for them is really nice, but i dont know how much they'l be apble to appreciate it
TwistedTween: Not in very good shape, I take it.
||||||||| Catherwood leads Hemlock Stones into the room, accepts a wooden nickel as a gratuity, mutters something about 9:58 PM, then departs.
Hemlock Stones: Greetings All
Bambi: hi Stones!
cease: yes my father's health seems to be plummeting.
TwistedTween: Hail and well met, Stones...
cease: i think the days of his wlaknig are over and the place i got for them is not relaly for wheel chair folks
ah,clem: good evening Stones
TwistedTween: Really sorry to hear that, Cat.
cease: may have to move them again soon and that wont be much fun
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Honey Sanchez close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 9:59 PM tree-stunting plans, and runs off to the sitting room.
cease: hey stones
Hemlock Stones: Hi Tween, Bambi and of course ah clem
Honey Sanchez: hello all :)
Bambi: sorry to hear that Cat
TwistedTween: Evenin' Miss Honey...
Hemlock Stones: Hi Honey
cease: its all downhlill from here, bambi
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Honey Sanchez: sorry to hear that, cease
Hemlock Stones: (puts horses in the wagon)
ah,clem: hola
TwistedTween: Can't be easy emotionally or physically, Cat. I wish you strength...
cease: thanks tween
TwistedTween: We're going to have to buy Catherwood a watch for his birthday.

Dave: hi all
Hemlock Stones: Hi Dave
Honey Sanchez: hello, dave
||||||||| Catherwood ushers Principalpoop inside, makes a note of the time (10:04 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.

TwistedTween: Never had the misfortune of wearing braces. Sounds like quite an ouch.
Dave: I've thought of that pp,
Honey Sanchez: catherwood may i please have a brandy alexander?

Honey Sanchez: kk cease hb
Principalpoop: she never went out with me again, no idea why that did not work out
Dave: the bottom ones are gleefully digging in to my lip, the top ones didn't seem to do that, or maybe I just got used to them, they had to align the top ones properly, but it still means soft foods for awhile, hopefully not too long though
Merlyn: Catherwood, pour Honey Sanchez a drink, please

klokwkdog: msg from Ken -- he's driving to FL w/sister to visit his sick father

Dr. Headphones: later, bubba
Hemlock Stones: i can do you a Gator Burger if you like it snappy
TwistedTween: Of course, if we built a wall across the southern US, we'd have to hire Mexicans to build it ;)

Dr. Headphones: i listen to click and clack for the puzzler
Bunnyboy: SHoot!
Elayne: What is the etymological origin of the word "tea" as a euphemism for marijuana?
cease: why does the porridge bird?
TwistedTween: Why does the porridge bird?
Dr. Headphones: THC?
Elayne: All Wikipedia says is "Now antiquated, a term describing the drug used during the early and mid 20th century. William S. Burroughs described marijuana users in his novel Junkie as "Teaheads"
Honey Sanchez: i think its from the beat generation
cease: ihave read that el, dont remember
Hemlock Stones: Ginsberg used it didnt he Elayne ?
TwistedTween: No idea, E.
Principalpoop: some stoner mumbled that
Dr. Headphones: never heard it called that myself
Elayne: Yeah, I thought it might be short for THC as well...
cease: i thikn the idea was tea is a legal substance, so it was a code for ilegal acitivity
Elayne: Dr. H, it's in Nick Danger. :)
Bunnyboy: How about Tee Hee?
cease: such as when the beratles used it in interviews
Hemlock Stones: i mean the reference as well as the Tea
Bambi says you're welcome Ken
Bunnyboy: The Elevated Affect?

Dr. Headphones: i worked once with a guy named C V Radakrishnan. i asked him what the C V stood for, he talked about 30 seconds and told me those two names. still don't know what he said
TwistedTween: I guess some of the software companies found out that outsourcing code wasn't so cheap in terms of the quality they got back.
cease: yes there are many things not worth knowing
Hemlock Stones: Curriculum Vitae Dr
TwistedTween: Fixing Y2K COBOL and answering phones is one thing...
Principalpoop: ahhh diversity, it makes thing so, well, diverse
Dr. Headphones: one letter was his dad's name, the other was name of village where he was born. strange naming convention they use but i guess it works for them. radakrishnan was actually his given name
Hemlock Stones: thats how he got the job
Bunnyboy: Tea – Marijuana (Now antiquated, a term describing the drug used during the early and mid 20th century. William S. Burroughs described marijuana users in his novel Junkie as "Teaheads")
Bunnyboy: From the wiki

Hemlock Stones: who did he give it too Dr ?
Bunnyboy: brb. Doggie break.
cease: yes i knew i read it in the beats
TwistedTween: How'd you like to have to lear Russian and work in a call center with a Moscow accent? Can't be easy.
Dr. Headphones: stones: well, i would have said "christian name" but he was hindu. wouldn't even eat jello since it contained animal protein
cease: i wonder ab out the origin of "number" for joint
Bambi: course I hate their daggone DRM anyway ... but you should have dealt with those pains in the keister in the call center ... put you on hold forever ... and don't do what they say
Principalpoop: sanchez, near sandhurts I think
cease: jim morrison claimed thats what he meant in the famous lyric, ":they go tthe guns but we got the numbers"
TwistedTween: Maybe if enough people complain, Bambi, they'll bring some of it back to the States.
Principalpoop: they got the bank computers and gas and phone lines
Hemlock Stones: after a couple of years online you tend to know more than the helplines anyway
Dr. Headphones: jim morrison was certifiably insane, but still great lyricist. one of my favorites was "blood in the streets"
TwistedTween: I've been in a couple of support situations where India is first and maybe second tier, but you get transferred back to the States if it's over their heads.
Principalpoop: I liked LA woman and that other one
Dr. Headphones: clem and klok getting old, turning gray (or "grey" for our UK friend)

Dr. Headphones: "oh yeah, talk to me in hexadecimal, it REALLY turns me on"

TwistedTween: And now for a real tanget... what do you guys think of Boot Camp (Apple's utility for installing XP on Inter Macs)? Might change the market a bit.
klokwkdog: tale told by an idiot is from the Scottish play, right?
Principalpoop: I think so, where is llan?
klokwkdog: full of sound and fury, signifying nothing (eventually, I realized where Faulkner got that title)
Hemlock Stones: Klok, yes i believe o
Principalpoop: the line about the tongue in the tale to remove a stinger is from taming of the shrew
klokwkdog: what line, poop?
Principalpoop: in americaaaaaaaaaaaaah
TwistedTween: Guess that one's for Saturday ;)
Hemlock Stones: tale told by an idiot is something to do with the White House isnt it ?

Principalpoop: when the sun goes down
Bambi: hi boney
Principalpoop: ahhh boney
TwistedTween: Hey Boney...
klokwkdog: tweeny -- did they get that little rodent yet?
Principalpoop: I thought windows owned apple now, is this development a surprise?
cease: boney
TwistedTween: True, Klok. Just the utility of being able to switch between your favorite programs in OS X & XP w/o emulation.
klokwkdog: tweeny -- TWiT has a whole show celebrating the 30th of Apple. It all sounds very significant, but I was pretty bored with it all.
Principalpoop: virtualization does that with linux too

TwistedTween: The history of the CIA and organized crime is not pretty.

klokwkdog: Just like serial killers, all the really sickening gov't agencies have 3 word names...
TwistedTween: Then he's going over here...
cease: pretty history?

klokwkdog: Yes, I had it told to me on tape, Tweeny, one cassette at a time
Principalpoop: http://www.history.navy.mil/wars/foabroad.htm and thats just the public official version
bonemeister: On Le Show, Harry Shearer did an impersonation of L.A. Dodgers radio play-by-play guy Vin Skulley that had me in hysterics. I'd pay good money for it on a CD or DVD.
cease: put your hands up a toyota and you'll never let go
TwistedTween: Then you know what I mean, Cat. Not pretty.

klokwkdog: Tweeny -- I think you're trying to make me admit to something

Principalpoop: We're bringing the war back home

Hemlock Stones: XP crashes more professionally than earlier versions Tween
TwistedTween: LOL Stones...
bonemeister: The sketch is called Steroid Night at Dodger Stadium. http://www.harryshearer.com/active/leShow.php I'm hard of hearing, so I'd pay for a high quality recording.
||||||||| Catherwood walks up and intones "Presenting 'Dave', just granted probation at 11:36 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
klokwkdog: Zinn is a close family friend of the Damons, so that's how the line about A People's History... got in the script for Good Will Hunting. really helped sales of that title
TwistedTween: I installed Tiger on a separate drive from Jaguar. Tiger brough in all my settings. Practically no adjustment.

Dave: they're so painful at the moment that I wouldn't mind doing that, but I know what to expect now since I've had the top ones for a few months

bonemeister: was
klokwkdog: first Ken, now Dex -- proved worng twice in one night. I'm so ashamed of myself
Dexter Fong: Hey Cat
Principalpoop: what is the problem dave?
Dexter Fong: Klok: Was Kend^ here tonight?
TwistedTween: LOL Boney...
bonemeister: was an historic homer
klokwkdog: yes he was, for a good long time
TwistedTween: Just missed him, Dex...
Dave: ok, here's the problem tech people, I have a pocket hard drive, a cgate one, it got corrupted when I took it to my travels and they forced me to send it through the xray scanner, so I tried to reformat it, but even though there are no items displayed and it says that the drive was formatted, it is still full of the data, and I'm not sure how to completely whipe it, help please? much appreciated
Bambi: hi Dex ... you made it
Dexter Fong: K: I got his email regarding his father, didn't think he'd be here tongiht
Bambi: Klok was kind enough to let us know you would be late or maybe not be able to make it ...glad it was the former :-)
Dave: ah figures I got distracted and then Ken shows up, damn
cease: came and went
TwistedTween: Yeah, sad thing, Dex...
Principalpoop: homer or hummer?
Dexter Fong: Thanks Bambi =)
Dave: tech problem is explained above if you caught it
klokwkdog: Dave -- I'm not sure how to go about it if reformat does not work
bonemeister: Seagate rocks
Principalpoop: I know nothing about pocket hard drives apart from the obvious obscene jokes
cease: marge or barge?
TwistedTween: Their drives seems to have pretty good longevity, Bone.
Hemlock Stones: if its formatted any residual data should not get in the way Dave
Bambi: Dave can you email that to me with the name of the drive and model and operating system you are using and what type of connection it uses to the computer?
Principalpoop: ahh nickie nickie nickie
klokwkdog: Dave -- sometimes there are "quick" formats and full formats. The quick format does not fully erase the device.
bonemeister: Dave, contact Seagate.
Dexter Fong: I want full frontal formats
Principalpoop: the barge on lake lemarge
Hemlock Stones: there would only be a problem if the boot sector was damaged
TwistedTween: No quickies for Dex.
cease: thats not a necktie. thats a birth defect
klokwkdog: Dave -- also, flash sticks usually have a controller in the path between you and the memory; the controller makes it /look/ like a drive, but it's really flash memory that works another way. So the computer part in there has to understand that it's supposed to format things
Principalpoop: oh no, not the boot sector oh nooo
Merlyn: full formats don't erase the device generally, either
Hemlock Stones: lol
Dexter Fong: Blue light special in the boot sector ladies
bonemeister: http://www.seagate.com/support/email/email_disc_support.html
TwistedTween: My sector's been booted all over the place.
Dave: I didn't do a quick format, took about 20 minutes
klokwkdog: Dave - wow, that should have cleaned things out.
cease: this is a riff on frodos travelling names
Principalpoop: 20 minutes is not long
cease: are there any other obvious tolkine refs in firesign?
Dexter Fong: It is to a mayfly
Principalpoop: used to be hours to format things
cease: austin meniotns lor as influence on his liner notes for thisk, as i recall
bonemeister: the airport scanner erased my long-term memory
TwistedTween: Indeed, P.
Dexter Fong: One ring to bind Nancy
Principalpoop: here we go around the maypole, give me my maypo
bonemeister: now I just sit in my room and watch Larry King all day
TwistedTween: Ouch, Bone...
Dexter Fong: You want maypo, you must be a mayfly
Dave: great when I try to reformat it says that "quit any windows or..." basically it won't format it
Principalpoop: I mayfly if I had some tea
TwistedTween: Been wondering how the new scanning devices would affect laptops, etc.
bonemeister: You must be the TwistedTeen that guy from Homeland Security was looking for
klokwkdog: cat -- LOR -> Nick Danger?
bonemeister: another Bush appointee no doubt
klokwkdog: Cat -- the only name that rings a bell in the list is Susan Underhill.
Hemlock Stones: does this mean you cannot take lap tops etc through airport security at all without wrecking them ?
TwistedTween: Homeyland Security? We have some of that in Austin ;)
Principalpoop: send me your picture little girl hehe
Dave: well they told me I had to put my braille computer through the security thing, when I told the woman I'd rather not as my life basically depends on the thing, her response was, "well then you can't fly," I ended up putting it through, but I was worried about this drive, sure enough it got fucked up,
Dexter Fong: Klok: Right; see CATHERWOOD IS REally Gandolf
||||||||| Catherwood ignores Dexter Fong
klokwkdog: bone- use all three letters: DHS

Principalpoop: the same old house is in mordor?
cease: were you caucasian for a while, bun?
TwistedTween: Sure, I remember him... he used to manage Uriah Heep.
Bunnyboy: I'm not wearing a tie.
Dexter Fong: 4 door or mordor, it's all the same at Ralphs
TwistedTween: 2 door, 4 door, mordor living...
cease: no, your wearing a burma oose
klokwkdog: where was there an "Audrey Farber" in LOTR?
Principalpoop: pia isadora
cease: in you r imagination
Bunnyboy: I wandered away, and turned grey. But I've got this grape leaf!
klokwkdog: yeah, that's one, Tween
Principalpoop: she was one of the elfs, the one on the left
bonemeister: a friend of a friend of the Dubster in the chatroom
Dexter Fong: Klok: Audrey Farber in elvish is Susan Under Hill
TwistedTween: but not isabella, P...
Bunnyboy: Yes, except it was spelled Audreephahrbur.
Dexter Fong: Correct Bunny
bonemeister: dog 'em on!
TwistedTween: Queen of the Fairies?
Dexter Fong: That too
Principalpoop: orc orc orc
Bunnyboy: She's a pushover, from the Shire.
TwistedTween: New York, New Orc, ya know ya gotta choose one....
cease: so susan underhill is the only obvious lor ref
Principalpoop: the ring for nancy
Dave: "quite any disc utilities that are using the drive, and make sure that no window is displaying the contents of the drive," neither of those are happening that I can tell, grrrr this is annoying!
TwistedTween: Tripe Boogie!
cease: my servants were in those barrels
cease: dodsnt make her invisilbe and powerful
Principalpoop: try formatting it in safe mode perhaps
Dexter Fong: That's another reference; Tom inthe Barrell
Bunnyboy: At the risk of sounding, ehrm, "you know", I saw LIZA WITH A Z last week, and it was fabulous!
Dave: I can't use safe mode, I have no speech there
Principalpoop: my guess is the clue about being a flash drive and not a real hard drive is causing the problem...
Principalpoop: oops dave, ok
TwistedTween: Liza Vannelli?
Dave: could I do it in a command prompt? I just need to make sure that it's formatting the right drive
Bunnyboy: These days, she's kinda in an older, Rosemary Clooney mode.
Principalpoop: there should be software that came with the drive, I would use that instead of XP
bonemeister: Admit it, Dave. You were smuggling Anthrax in that braille laptop.
TwistedTween: Hey, people change Bun. Glad she's still at it. Can't say I'm a fan, but I respect the talent.
Merlyn: BBoy, as long as you didn't describe it as "faaaaabulous", I won't make assumptions
Dave: there was not software coming with the drive, such is the case when you buy off of ebay, actually...there might be software, hold on a sec
Principalpoop: ok
Merlyn: Hey, she can sing, Sinatra could sing, I'm just not a fan of the types of songs they generally sing
klokwkdog: cat -- tweeny noted the "two door, mordor apartments"
TwistedTween: Exactly, Merl...
Merlyn: which reminds me, anyone hear the Sinatra sound-alike singing the theme to the Addams Family?
TwistedTween: LOL Merl. No...
cease: thankfuly nho merl
Principalpoop: that sounds cool
cease: thanks, klok. where's that on
Principalpoop: hold it right where you are
Bunnyboy: You know the phrase, "hold your tongue"? That's that cartoony sound Charles Nelson Reilly makes. "HLL-HLLLLLL!"
cease: 2 places?
cease: thats a good catch
Dave: great, the little utility that came with the drive, "c-gate toolkit," is not accessable, upon clicking on the two buttons, one said after I clicked it, "you may now remove the drive from the system," well that's not what I wanted, the other closed the window, yay
klokwkdog: cat -- I think it's on Side 2
Principalpoop: download the toolkit from the web
bonemeister: oh... c-gate isn't Seagate. My bad
Dave: that won't help me pp if I can't use the one I've got now
klokwkdog: Seagate isn't Seagate either; they got rid of Alan Shugart
Principalpoop: generally it has been corrupted is why you cannot use it
Dexter Fong: Gotto go to Hooland you want really big sea gates
Dexter Fong: or Holland
Principalpoop: horton heard a hoo
Hemlock Stones: how much would a new drive cost Dave ?
Principalpoop: he must have been from hooland
Bunnyboy: "We are here, we are here, we are HEEEERRRRE!"
TwistedTween: Boney has entered The Gates Of Delirium...
klokwkdog: Cat -- It's some ad in HCYB? "Tudor, Four-Door and 'more'-door apartments" I would know the rest of the bit if I heard it, but it's a fake radio commercial
Bunnyboy: Oh, that's Whoville.
bonemeister: I'll ask Alan Shugart if he has got some spare seachange
||||||||| 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..
Principalpoop: I get up, I get down
TwistedTween: Actually, that's from the Live in London show.
klokwkdog: Dave -- actually you might be able to get them to repair or replace the c-gate drive
bonemeister: Woz always has lots of spare seachange
Principalpoop: midnight, ahhh indiana

TwistedTween: At least that's my knowledge...
Hemlock Stones: i would try and make the Airport pay for a new one Dave
Merlyn: that's just catherwood's watch, it runs fast
||||||||| Catherwood says "Nonsense! My watch has never failed me! It's 12:01 AM"
bonemeister: if I could just bum some innovative architecture off someone

Principalpoop: I walk slow, so we are even

Bambi smiles
Dexter Fong: Holy merde
Hemlock Stones: and special thanks to Clem for his good work
cease: anh x minus one episodes?
Bambi: Sleep Well!
Principalpoop: what a minute, who are you?

||||||||| "Hey Hemlock Stones!" ... Hemlock Stones turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 12:05 AM, I don't have to go yet!"...
TwistedTween: Python's send-up of Coward in Meaning of Life was hilarious.
Principalpoop: the antelope freeway skit blew my mind, it was a perfect intro to the later multi-dimensional ahh stuff
klokwkdog: cat -- it's too good a target not to make mincemeat out of, and as you can see, we're grasping at shadows to find anything resembling a reference
cease: they do acknolwedg e that somehwere, klok
klokwkdog: Clem is humoring Bambi mightily tonight ;-)
Dexter Fong: It's Schickelgruber!!
klokwkdog: cat -- i'd like to hear that

cease: illie jack. fuck
TwistedTween: Then may Bambi be in good humor. Can I get a nutty crunch?

Principalpoop: new generations are discovering castanda, or is it canasta
cease: not so lol dex
Bambi: I don't think you can ... you already started the format once already ... the TOC on the table is already messed up ... you can't really hurt it further. ;-)
Bambi: but the format might just fix it
cease: lol ah clem
TwistedTween: Grats once again, JL.
bonemeister: Penis Song (Not the Noël Coward Song) ???
klokwkdog: cat -- as Tolkien portrayed elves, I don't think they would use any diluting substance. they remind me of very proper and very arrogant upper class Brits whose culture no one really understands (except Noel Coward and Forester, etc. ;-)
Principalpoop: let's just do it... take 600 lol
Dave: true bambi, ok will retry that
Principalpoop: ahhhh, clem good night thanks
Dexter Fong: Already parked it Clem, but thanks for the thought
klokwkdog: (pliable)(women() )
TwistedTween: I bid 650!
bonemeister: okay, Eric. I see you're dressed like Noël Coward. Good. Now if you could just point your webcam at it and send me a picture of it.
Bambi: LOL
cease: no its a fiesign riff, klok
cease: from the hour hour show
klokwkdog rushes to fallingstars.co.kr pop channel. Ouch my ears!
Merlyn: 700 quatluus

klokwkdog: Dex -- he's been using that sign-off for a couple weeks not. I don't think it's anything personal against New Yorkers ;-)
TwistedTween: You too JL...
klokwkdog: which zone would that be, sir?
Dexter Fong: Night Clem and thanks for the earful
||||||||| Around 12:12 AM, ah,clem walks off into the sunset...
Dexter Fong: and the mind set
klokwkdog: Dex -- at least you're not being hit with a congestion charge. And this is flu season...
Principalpoop: you too clem and bambi, and root and the cockatoo too
klokwkdog: the American Ambassador went beserk when he learned our diplomats were having to pay tribute to Red Ken...
Bambi: LOL wish we had a cockatoo princep ... it's a cockatiel ... cute but small and not nearly as 'lovable' they say
klokwkdog: how is it that everything rude and crude seems now to eminate from Tuttle, OK?
Principalpoop: you are drinking a cocktail?
klokwkdog: Bambi -- they make a racket, though
Principalpoop: it is affecting your spelling
Dexter Fong: Klok: The geographic population center is moving west
klokwkdog: I presume we'll start hearing them on the Saturday live show now that the sun is going down as the show progresses. I remember last summer it was really loud...
Dave: I used to have a cockateel, until he flew out the window, never found him and I'm sure he's gone now, but he didn't like me, always bit my finger thinking I was food, so really I wasn't that sympathetic
Principalpoop: ok ok, you and your cock have a good week bambi hehe
TwistedTween: A motto in Austin is: "Known Center Of The Universe"
klokwkdog: Dex -- yes, but NAD 27 is still right where it's always been, we can take comfort in that. We are still holding the line against Plate Tectonics and the fascist tectonic powers
Principalpoop: your parents just told you he went out the window dave, remember that fancy chicken dinner?
bonemeister: Noël Coward is on the no fly list. We'll have to strip search him to ascertain whether he is fly or no
TwistedTween: The New Madrid fault would be worse than Cal if it goes. The last time it shook in the 1800's, the MS river flowed backwards.
Dexter Fong sings "No woman, no fly...
TwistedTween: Luckily, not the population density of San Andreas.
Merlyn: I thought he was on the noël fly list
Dave: thanks pp, that's so cruel but rather amusing,
Dexter Fong: Tween: NO we can go upstream
Dexter Fong: now
TwistedTween: We'll just put him in the both over here and transfer him to the other one...
Merlyn: shoeless jackson is on the shoofly list
bonemeister: Spanish flies
klokwkdog: Tweeny -- the last time it shook was so long ago that all those people are dead. They said that, but nobody has video of it, so it may just be a story.
Dexter Fong: Flies of Spanish Leather
klokwkdog: Merlyn -- only during the holidaze
Principalpoop: sorry dave, you have a bone to pick with me now?
bonemeister: In Cold Inhuman Bondage
TwistedTween: Pretty sure they kept records back then, Klok...
klokwkdog: Tweeny -- yeah, I like the records about the Cardiff Giant
bonemeister: Blast it, Jim, I don't look good without a shirt on like you do
TwistedTween: Are you saying people make things up? Surely not! Why, I was just talking to a burning bush the other day ;)
bonemeister: Which reminds me, DHS is looking for a T.J. Hooker
klokwkdog: RI has a colony of escaped parakeets in Warwick. Pretty large and annoying one. And they say there's no Global Warming...
TwistedTween: I wouldn't doubt it, Bone, LOL...
klokwkdog: bone -- I heard they are looking for one J.W. Booth, suspected of having designs on the President. But they don't know how recent the information is...
TwistedTween: The Will Farrell bit on Bush & global warming is classic.
Principalpoop: just a pair of keets? he writes good poetry
TwistedTween: You need at least 3 from what I've heard.
klokwkdog: Tweeny -- sounds like wistful thinking to me ;-)
bonemeister: J.W. was profoundly influenced by Catcher in the Rye and Jodie Foster
Principalpoop: a trifecta, honey had one earlier
TwistedTween: You making fun of my spreach impediment?
klokwkdog: bone -- I noticed that in the pentameter of his Latin, actually
TwistedTween: A Latin Pentamiter. Hispanic Texan.
Principalpoop: is that your impediment? I thought it was part of the chatroom
klokwkdog: I pass the marker for the barn Booth was burned in every time I come up the hill from Port Royal, VA
cease: did jodie catch the rye?
bonemeister: No Irish Popes! No Texas Presidents!
klokwkdog: Port Royal is kinda the place where he crossed over in more ways than one
Principalpoop: catcher in the pumpernickle
cease: no true believers
TwistedTween: Well, don't know about the Irish Popes, but there's been 2 Presidents so far, and I'd like to personally apologize for the latter of the two. The Daily Show has been doing some great bits comparing Gov. Bush's statements to Pres. Bush's statements. Exactly the opposite. Cheney also.
bonemeister: What are all these Mexicans doing here?
Principalpoop: that is from marvel comics right cat
TwistedTween: Making a living, guy. Making a living. That's why I'd like to see WPA & CCC in MX.
bonemeister: You're Barbara Bush, TwistedTween?
Principalpoop: yeppers
bonemeister: I never would have guessed.
Principalpoop: the folks from ireland and denmark have stopped flooding into the states
TwistedTween: Why, yes I am. And I think that being housed in the Astrodome is really good living for the people of New Orleans...
TwistedTween: That's 'cause things got better in Ireland and Denmark.
Principalpoop: I don't see millions of canadians sneaking in
Principalpoop: bingo tween
TwistedTween: Pleassse, P...
bonemeister: It's a pity that they had to leave. They HAVE left the Astrodome by now, haven't they?
cease: we keep our sneakers in our closets
TwistedTween: The Federal benefits are running out. We may have alot of homeless families. There's talk of some neighborhoods in NO not being rebuilt.
Merlyn: elvis has left the astrodome
bonemeister: Go into your closet with your webcam and show me your sneakers
TwistedTween: Thrank you very much...
Dexter Fong: Getting latish here, think I'll mosey along
||||||||| Catherwood leads porgie into the room, accepts an I.O.U. as a gratuity, mumbles something about 12:31 AM, then departs.
Dexter Fong: Hey Porge
bonemeister: mousie along?
TwistedTween: O reservir, Dex. Me too. Until last time, again...
