Firebroiled: Gentlemen, gentlemen! I won’t take any more credit for this Victory than is necessary. Lord Kitchener did not -- nay, will not -- die in vain, Grid Willing. [Over applause] Gentlemen, gentlemen! I as Leader will use Power like a drum and Leadership like a violin. Pick out any Idea. Compare Ideas.

Tweeny: Who's movie _is_ this, anyway?
||||||||| At 7:35 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Tweeny!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and announces "Announcing 'Mudhead', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 8:48 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
Mudhead: Noone is chatting?
||||||||| Mudhead leaves at 8:50 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..."
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Mudhead close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 8:50 PM tree-stunting plans, and scurries off to the vestibule.
||||||||| At 8:50 PM, Mudhead hurries out the door saying "Hey, mister ice-cream man, I've got a nickel, wait for meeeee..."
||||||||| Mudhead sneaks in around 8:51 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last month's "unpleasant incident."
Mudhead: holy Fudd!
Mudhead: It goes in, it must come out!
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and intones "Announcing 'Hemlock Stones', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 8:53 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...

klokwkdog: put baggy pants on it and maybe the super will think it's just another wierdo on the 3rd floor
Hemlock Stones: goes to get camera
Bambi: Stones did you get YouTube working?
Hemlock Stones: no, not a thing
Bambi: Only need Flash really to make it work from what I've seen
klokwkdog: cat -- the environment does that, Vancouver, Seattle, Anchorage should better look like Reykjavik with bright-colored houses and lots of man-made iconoclasm
Dexter Fong: The famous 'our Tube?
Hemlock Stones: tried all the normal fixes and updates but not a flicker
llanwydd: did anyone see the documentary on Nova about string theory a couple of weeks ago?

Bambi: you may be right klok lol
Hemlock Stones: have downloaded flashplayers till i am blue in the face and ensured my Java is enable but not a sausage or even a video
Dexter Fong: llan: Don't let that string theory rope you in
Hemlock Stones: using IE
Hemlock Stones: it used to work and does on the other computer but not this one
klokwkdog: llan -- I read the book. It's better. Teach Yourself String Theory in 21 Days

cease: would you like some carl sagan's ashes with that?
cease: its the new pepper
klokwkdog: The Guardian is blowing a cork about science education in Britain and making lots of noise about art majors controlling the media
Hemlock Stones: they have a point klok, TV particularly has dumbed down a lot in the last ten years, it now takes Panorama an hour to tell a story which used to take ten minutes
klokwkdog: I think the real problem is like here: you kill yourself to be engineer, scientist, doctor and some room temp. IQ types in law, politcs and "business" are the ones pulling down the big $$
Merlyn: cosmo kramer?
cease: was on a nice cork floor recently
Merlyn: in Ireland, cat?
klokwkdog: NYT just had a graphic of how many in each country believe in evolution. US is tied at the bottom with...Turkey

cease: not ired at all. rather mild mannered
Merlyn: well, we DID give them their name with our bird
Merlyn: we gave em the bird
klokwkdog: they can't stand up to traffic, Cat. It's the same thing as they encountered with using concrete tyres and rubber roads

Merlyn: it's a vodeododo
Hemlock Stones: passes Merlyn phone number of good libel lawyer to deal with Klok
Merlyn: gas prices are high, and there's bombing in Tyre
cease: thats not a number, that's a free man

Hemlock Stones: Tyre has been deflated i hear

Hemlock Stones: incidentally, would any of you folks happen to know where upwards of twenty thousand lost pieces of hand luggage might be located
Bambi: or you have a llama with four feet?
cease: no only two llamas, but a lot of drugs
klokwkdog: I thought it was only 5,000 actually missing, Stones
Merlyn: have you looked in your other hand?
Dexter Fong: Hemlock: Aisle Seven
Hemlock Stones: no they "found" that more had gone astray
Bambi: in a Lorry?
||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and snorts derisively "Announcing 'Mudhead', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:34 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
Dexter Fong: In a Peter?
||||||||| principalpoop enters at 9:34 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and dashes off to the Chapeau Manger.

Bunnyboy: 2 discs, the 1979 and 2001 cuts, Coppola commentary, and great selection of background materials. It list at $19.99, but I've seen it listed as cheap as $12.99. Excellent transfer as well, BTW.
klokwkdog: not a smart thing for an immigrant to say
principalpoop: ahh, clem
cease: thanks bun
Mudhead: it is sounding fine here in Connecticut
llanwydd: I hadn't heard about the bombing. I'm shocked
klokwkdog: Stones -- yep. But it was Prescott. Isn't he kind of aphasic these days?
Dexter Fong: Yes, distortion has gone away
