Principalpoop: wrong chat shadow hehe
Laura Hawkmoth: I miss doing pirate radio. the FCC sunk us.
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: jeeze Shadow...
cease: if you can get her back in front of a microphone, you'd be doing the universe a favour
Shadow Lynn Parker: Wha???
Principalpoop: wow laura, a rebel, did you have a cause or not?
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: There's always the internet, Laura
Phil Austin: Hey, Merl. If you're around. I got an email from you tonight, but I haven't looked at it yet. I will soon.
cease: but you can rise again, laura
Laura Hawkmoth: I was the only one without a cause, Prince. most the rest of the staff were too political for me. I just liked playing music and comedy.
cease: i used to broadcast from a tunnel in ottawa
Shadow Lynn Parker: I used to have Irate radio they called it AM
Merlyn: ok Phil
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Dug by an otter
Merlyn: Looking at putting a 'send' button as an option for the chat
Bambi: someone took over my old blog location on blogspot
Principalpoop: that is the only way, those who try to be serious become jokes, those who joke can be serious or hell, everything I know is wrong
Phil Austin: you mean send for private messages, or a send for email?
cease: if nukes wiped out the capital, i could still broadcast firesign, to my fellow tunnelers
Bambi: and it's got all kinds of weird links on it
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: OS X has been unbelieveable stable, Merl. Might just be a little glitch somewhere that I need to set some utilities upon.
Laura Hawkmoth: YOu need your own crazy little email system in here. The guys that do the kingdomofloathing game have one built into their chat.
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Keep digging ;-)
Merlyn: A 'send' button for the text input, because not all browsers do an auto-send if you just type
Laura Hawkmoth: Have any of you ever played kingdomoflaothing?
Phil Austin: tween: I've got 10.4.something on a G5 and I'm very happy with it
Principalpoop: browser ido idio ideosecrin ideoscreincities need more buttons, I like buttons
Bambi: my other personal site where we have our camping pictures is on http://www.jim-fran.com/bambi/
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Same here on a G3. Amazing that it'll run on a system manufactured in 1999.
Phil Austin: bamb: thanks, I'll take a look soon. what did you guys broadcast tonight?
Laura Hawkmoth: dyslexia takes over!!!
Principalpoop: nope laura, can't say that I have
Bambi: I have a Mac Mini with Mac OS X 10.4
Shadow Lynn Parker: Prince, you are as cute as a button
Merlyn: it isn't strictly a bug, tween, it's a common feature. To be maximally flexible, it should work for those browsers
Bambi: really enjoying it quite a bit!
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: G5's the way to go with the PPC Macs. 64-bit architecture, which Tiger also is.
Merlyn: this land is full of browsers (browsers!)
Phil Austin: are we all becoming mac people?
Laura Hawkmoth: it's pretty funny. check it out sometime.
cease: are buttons cute?
Bambi: Clem said he broadcasted Pink Hotel and Giant Rat
Shadow Lynn Parker: I am windows all the way.
Principalpoop: wait, which button? the ~ or { or what?
cease: babies are cute. puppies, kittens, sure, but buttons?
Phil Austin: ah, pink hotel. the lost work
Laura Hawkmoth: I've seen some really nice buttons.
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: lol Merlyn - and they all suck...
Principalpoop: yes he did bambi
Shadow Lynn Parker: My grandmother used to say that all the time, maybe I am not cute at all
Bambi: I love the Mac ... and glad to finally have one
cease: yes phil we talked about it. you said there was a possiblity of yuo making it into a full album
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: I feel for ya, Shadow
Phil Austin: button babies and button puppies
Principalpoop: belly buttons hehehehe oops wrong chat
Bambi: yes, pink hotel is quite good and Giant Rat is also and a wonderful Classic
Shadow Lynn Parker: I bought some from a button pusher once
Phil Austin: cat: I'm unsure as to the actual possibilities, but It
Phil Austin: certainly a private dream of mine
Shadow Lynn Parker: Mine has a ring in it.
Principalpoop: ahh, they were hot button items i bet
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Giant Rat - classic Firesign
cease: shadow, the next time you come here if you come earlier you can hear fiesign albums and radio stuff from ah clem
Laura Hawkmoth: Mr.A!! sssh! keep private dreams private!!! *L* j/k.
cease: oh i see phil
Shadow Lynn Parker: I have to listen to that next then
cease: i thikn there was an anticipation exageration factor in that factoid
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 11:53 PM and Jonathan waltzes out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
Principalpoop: hi jonathan
Bambi: hi Jonathan
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Hey John...
Laura Hawkmoth: There's that grape I was looking for.
Jonathan: I have proof! I've been to ancient Greece!
Shadow Lynn Parker: Jonathan, are you stalking me again?
cease: i asked earlier if there was a financial problerm and you said more of a political one between the firesign folks, as barrier to new work
Principalpoop: who are you old man?
Bambi: it's nice to see the evolution of HomeLess and Hemlock Stones
Shadow Lynn Parker: oh wrong Jon
Jonathan: Huh?
cease: am i wrong about that, phil?
Jonathan: principalpoop: I'm your husband
Shadow Lynn Parker: sorry, you are not the guy I was thinking of, he is not old nor a thousand years old
cease: old is a lot better than dead, man
Principalpoop: I think not, I am not nancy
Laura Hawkmoth: Sometimes people just stop being as close a friends as they were in college...
cease: hi jon
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: LOL John
Laura Hawkmoth: I never talk to the guy who played me all the Firesign records anymore.
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Your turn to wear the dress, P lol
Shadow Lynn Parker: http://geocities.com/shadowparker2003
Principalpoop: bettyjo maybe, on those special night, but I am not nancy
cease: but you still listen to firesign?
cease: that says a lot for them
Phil Austin: I'm back, more's the pity. Is this shadow? http://www.ebookmall.com/ebook/65962-ebook.htm
Shadow Lynn Parker: Have to go, have fun all and it was nice to have met you Mr. Austin.
Laura Hawkmoth: I do. but I had to buy the CDs.
Jonathan: So, I've been looking through the chat archives and we apparently have some Aqua Teen hunger force fans here.
Shadow Lynn Parker: yes but it is very adult rated I am afraid
Laura Hawkmoth: Prince- oh, you knew him too?
Jonathan: I love that show
Laura Hawkmoth: ATHF? they set us up the bomb.
Shadow Lynn Parker: Mr Austin, you work fast
cease: the early leavers should know about this
Principalpoop: night shadow, have a super week
Jonathan: We get signal
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: "Manipulated _buy_ a friend of her daughters"? She was bought?
Principalpoop: adult swim? never heard of it
Laura Hawkmoth: then you will drown.
cease: its called Detour in canada
Shadow Lynn Parker: I have some funny some not
Principalpoop glugs
cease: on our Teletoon
Phil Austin: poop: I like to promote adult swim.l. Cartoon network after ten thirty
Shadow Lynn Parker: Oh, Thanks Phil and all of you. You make a new fan seem so welcome
cease: its called Detour here phil, but we get your shows much later
Shadow Lynn Parker: I watch all the time Phil
Laura Hawkmoth: I'm still pretty fond of "Robot Chicken".
Phil Austin: I'm still looking for anyone who likes 12 oz. Mouse as much as I do
cease: im just discovering Boondocks and it aint new
Jonathan: Speak of the devil. ATHF is just starting where i live
Laura Hawkmoth: a lot of the shows got a little dull after a bit. I was watching an old Sealab the other day though.
||||||||| Shadow Lynn Parker says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, Shadow Lynn Parker exits at 12:00 AM.
Phil Austin: jonathon: I would say that Oooooona's favorite is ATHF. And Boston's, of course.
Laura Hawkmoth: We are all searching for something, Mr.A. *L*
cease: doctec cam eover with dvds of sealab and it was good but i dont think id want to warch it forefver
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Never heard of it, Phil
||||||||| 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: hello seekers
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: All
Jonathan: Ooooooooooooooooooona has good taste in toons
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: (mouse)
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Hi Phil
Phil Austin: Laura: yeah, sealab is definitely an acquired taste. Not the charm of futurama or family guy
Principalpoop: wb fong
Laura Hawkmoth: I like...uh oh, can I spell this right? Metalocalypse?
cease: they come, they go
Phil Austin: hi, dex. Parking?
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Phil: Parked!!
Principalpoop: all must play the piano
cease: im trying to like space ghost cuz you recomend it phil, but....
Merlyn: and lock it
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: All must play the Banjo
Merlyn: Space Ghost has a couple Firesign references in it
Laura Hawkmoth: I like the ep of Space Ghost Dave Grohl guested on. "So what is Foo and why are you fighting it?"
Jonathan: Lol. It's the one where Meatwad loses his brain and has to use a chicken
Merlyn: one was about Sectors R and N
cease: is it over?
Laura Hawkmoth: I want to play a zanzithophone, but I don't know where to find one.
Phil Austin: laura: yeah, I know. Metalocalypse (spelling optional) is odd in a lot of ways. The guy who does it is working on releasing stuff with the same company that FST is using for the Nick Danger box set
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Over there?
Laura Hawkmoth: Really? neat!
Principalpoop: strumming on the old banjo, singing fe fi fiddily fo
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Any ETA on the boxed set, Phil?
Jonathan: Hey Phil, if you don't mind my asking, I found some new Firesign Theatre bits on youtube over old movie footage, but where is dave Ossman?
Dexter Man it's cold Fong sings " Susannah dont you cly"
Jonathan: And who's the woman?
Phil Austin: I love the timing on the middle period and later Space Ghosts. Nobody uses silence better. There's also the odd charm of the Brak show, a spinoff of Space Ghost ()coast to coast)
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: ding-ding-ding-de-de-de-ding-ding-ding....
Laura Hawkmoth: There was a really beat up old out of key harpsichord in the music building at Goddard college back when I lived in Montpelier...at that time, I used to do a radio show in Plainfield instead.
Laura Hawkmoth: I like Brak's song about beans.
Principalpoop: my dingaling, everybody sing
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Laura: Instead of what?
cease: u like boondocks, phil?
Phil Austin: jonathon: that's the three of us when David left us and went to work on NPR for a few years. I'm trying to remember the woman. It's just voices, so maybe it's proctor's ex-girlfriend Diane Davisson
Principalpoop: harpo played a harpsichord
cease: hence, harpo
Laura Hawkmoth: I like Brak's song about beans instead of.... sitting in subzero weather in a miniskirt?
Principalpoop: voila
Laura Hawkmoth: Harpo played a viola?
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: ecndeH, Oprah
Principalpoop: no, viola was the sister, vivian vance played the piano
Phil Austin: cat: I pretty much hated Boondocks in its newspaper manifestation, but was won over by the tv stuff, which seems to me to be really interestin. Hueyt is a much more reasonable character on tv, i think. Likewise Riley
Laura Hawkmoth: I used to play a psaltry, but the one I had got stolen by a lady in Georgia. I have a new one, but it won't stay in tune.
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: You played a chicken?
Principalpoop: you psaltry femme fatale you
Phil Austin: is a psaltry something like a recorder?
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Laura: Oh pshaw, child...
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: I remember Psaltry Dog
Principalpoop: the episode with the pimp and whore and the dad was unusual fare...
||||||||| It's 12:10 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Jonathan - dead from Globner's disease
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
cease: ive seen only a few newspaper boondocks fromwhen i was briefly in la last year or 2
Laura Hawkmoth: no, it's a thing with 16 to 22 strings.
Laura Hawkmoth: You can play it with one or two bows.
cease: so the toon is new to me. the martin luthter knig episode i rank with duck man as best cartoon ever
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Well, all I can say is... there's some great material out there if the FST ever wants to make another album. My suggestion for a title is "The Firesign Theatre's National Identity Album".
Dexter Man it's cold Fong bpws deeply
Laura Hawkmoth: I learned to play from a guy named Gregg Schneeman.
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: bows
cease: at the end of the ossman novel there's a plug for a new firesign product
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Best to you and yours Phil, and all the members of the Firesign and their families :-)
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: I learned it from a Visigoth who learned it from a Vandal
Laura Hawkmoth: There are a lot of people I've met who play some pretty exotic instruments.
JustAnotherGov'tTweeny: Later, gators...
Principalpoop: martin luther king was hard core telling them about misuse of freedom and opportunity
||||||||| At 12:11 AM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, JustAnotherGov'tTweeny!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
Laura Hawkmoth: pump don't work cos the vandals took the handle.
cease: Dr. Firegin's Folies
cease: is that you too, phil?
Principalpoop: night tween
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: and don't forget about de mothers
Laura Hawkmoth: There was a bar in Georgia called Gator Haters, Tweeny.
Laura Hawkmoth: I usually didn't go there tho.
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: I've got welts 'cause the celts took the handals
Laura Hawkmoth: But when I was in Georgia that's where I first heard about the zanzithophone.
Principalpoop: late in my neck of the woods too, night all, thanks again for everything mister Austin, the joy you give so many,
||||||||| Around 12:13 AM, Principalpoop walks off into the sunset...
Laura Hawkmoth: We are the many who try to give back, so joy. >:)
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Night poop
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood intones: "12:14 AM and late as usual, it's Jonathan, just back from Warwick."
cease: poop
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Jon
Laura Hawkmoth: It's getting quiet in here. we better throw a loud party, just to break even.
cease: dr firesigns follies
Jonathan: lost connection.......again.
cease: you are in vermont, laura?
Laura Hawkmoth: I am.
Phil Austin: I'm gone, man. Bebop is signing off, hootchies. Into the night of the freezing desert. Nite all. so nice to meet and talk
cease: is there enough of a vermont identity?
||||||||| Phil Austin rushes off, saying "12:15 AM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?"
Jonathan: So, if phil answered my question, I missed it
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Cat: Nino says Laura in NYC
cease: nite, phil
Merlyn: Check the log, jonathan. Click the link.
Laura Hawkmoth: aaw, he's leaving us. oh well... that was an amusing evening's chat.
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Night Phil, may quartets of angels sing thee to thy squat
cease: you were here when he was here before, laura?
Laura Hawkmoth: my connexion is acting wacky too.
Jonathan: I better go too. I gotta get up early for my stagecraft 1 class
||||||||| Around 12:16 AM, Laura Hawkmoth walks off into the sunset...
cease: he never answered some questions, but there were perhaps too many
Merlyn: Oh, yes, he answered Jonathan. Ossman was at NPR at the time
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Laura: Wackey @ is the best connecion
cease: into the ether
cease: some yes
cease: great to have new folks when phil shows up
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Night all.and night you guys
Merlyn: getting late for me too, see you next thursday
||||||||| Catherwood says "12:18 AM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs Merlyn by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
cease: off we go
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: Won't be hear next week
||||||||| At 12:18 AM, cease rushes out the door saying "Hey, mister ice-cream man, I've got a nickel, wait for meeeee..."
Dexter Man it's cold Fong: see you in 2
||||||||| It's 12:30 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Jonathan - dead from jaundice
||||||||| Dexter Man it's cold Fong - dead from jaundice
||||||||| Bambi - dead from jaundice
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| A stretch dumpster pulls up to the front door at 12:49 AM; Phil Austin gets out and signs a few autographs before entering the Waiting room.
Phil Austin: a little more research turns up this link to bobdcaterino http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Parker
||||||||| "Hey Phil Austin!" ... Phil Austin turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 12:51 AM, I don't have to go yet!"...
||||||||| 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."
