||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Firebroiled into the room, accepts a $3 bill as a gratuity, mumbles something about 8:44 AM, then departs.
Firebroiled: The True White Brother is coming home. Remember what the Great Spirit said? If we did what we were supposed to do, and lived according to The Plan, White Brother would finish his work in the East and come back to us.
Firebroiled: The miracle of the burning Bush,... got a match??
||||||||| At 8:46 AM, Firebroiled runs out the door saying "Hey, mister ice-cream man, I've got a nickel, wait for meeeee..."
||||||||| 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 RufusTFiretween disembarks at 8:11 PM.
RufusTFiretween: Who's movie _is_ this, anyway?
||||||||| RufusTFiretween is kicked out just as the clock strikes 8:12 PM.

||||||||| Porgie Tirebiter - dead from The Plague
 ||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
Mudhead: I shall return next week
||||||||| At 8:33 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Mudhead!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| Catherwood ushers Dexter Fong into the room, accepts a jar of pennies as a gratuity, mumbles something about 8:44 PM, then departs.
||||||||| Around 8:44 PM, Dexter Fong walks off into the sunset...

||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 eastern, dwarves and bozos,'
||||||||| 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 Porgie Tirebiter disembarks at 8:56 PM.

||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood snorts derisively: "9:03 PM and late as usual, it's RufusTFiretween, just back from California."
RufusTFiretween: It's just this little chromium switch here...
RufusTFiretween: Pizza in the bedroom?
