||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and intones "Announcing 'Rotonoto', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:35 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the sitting room...
Principalpoop: wb roto
Dave & Katie: mine isn't til Nov. and I'm gonna get smashed! 21 baby! ok guys, I know, it was a long time ago, just try and think back
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and intones "Announcing 'Bubba's Brain', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:36 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...

Dave & Katie: good lord I need to sit up to type properly
cease: proc was so sure immortality would rake in a young crowd
cease: lol poop
Hope: Who needs a new member?
cease: io mean YOUNG, not new
Dave & Katie: true, Kate is probably the youngest, she's 2 and a half or so
Principalpoop: oops dog years are x 7 right?
Dave & Katie: pity it didn't bring in the new members, people just don't get it
Mudhead: My members not new, but it still works
Merlyn: OK, the butler should know how to 'serve' things and might respond sensibly to 'be'ing things
Hope: I'm afraid the young crowd has been dumbing down for some time now Cat
Rotonoto: Cat- but at about the same time, I saw their CD's get swept from the shelves of my local Best Buy, never to return.
Dave & Katie: long as it works mud
Principalpoop: throw a towel over it show off
cease: as someone who gets asked for his seniors card with increasing frequency it amazes me that young people would enjoy the firesigns, but im happy to be proved wrong
Hope: I just heard Immortality in full for the first time this weekend--catching up with technology, sadly (and finances)
Rotonoto: Hope- yes, and they love potty mouth, negative morning talk show hosts
cease: the young were pretty dumb when i was young too.
Principalpoop: ok dave, get on american idol and mention firesign theatre as a source of your inspiration

cease: the blog must be doing you a lot of good, el.
Hope: Uh-oh Elayne are you going already?
cease: you are someone who has benefitted from the act of writing more than anyone i know
Rotonoto: Hey Elayne- the night is young, stick around...
Merlyn: Catherwood, serve some nappy headed hors d’œuvres
||||||||| Catherwood gets some nappy headed hors d’ œ uvres.
Principalpoop: i have never seen it, maybe you could do toad away at the end of each show
Dave & Katie: wow I'm sitting up and the typing's just as bad, cause I think too fast for my fingers to figure out what I'm thinking
cease: thats true for anyone who likes the firsings, dave
Merlyn: never let your fingers know what you're thinking
Principalpoop: you think too fast, that is why like firesign
cease: unless yhou're deaf, perhaps
Rotonoto: Fingers are nototiously poor spellers...
Principalpoop: right on cat, far out
Rotonoto: notoriously
Hope: And members are notoriously poor thinkers...
cease: sounds like the intro to Bride, hope
Principalpoop: mythumbisoffendedandhasgoneonstrikenospacebaractionnow
Rotonoto: No we're all brilliant strategists and global thinkers here...
Dave & Katie: depends what mine's thinking about
Hope: I haven't listened to that one yet Cat but I got it for myself last week

Principalpoop: geshoundheit
Elayne: Gesundheit, Katie!
cease: "members are notoriously poor thinkers" sums up the first 7 minutes or so
Hope: LOL that should be great
Principalpoop: on which side?
Merlyn: dave, I don't think I got that picture. I can't log in on my unix account right now for some reason
Principalpoop: am i plugged in the most recent plug?

cease: so it goes, the musicality of that
Dave & Katie: speaking of kurt, where's twene?
cease: the "whatever" of its day
cease: yes his absence is odd

Hope: No prob Cat
Hope: Pull my finger Poop
Rotonoto: pull my finger, fred...
Hope: LOLOL
Elayne: In order to get an amazing obit, you pretty much have to be well-known. I'm afraid Firesign will always be somewhat obscure.
Principalpoop: steady
cease: alas, elayne
Hope: Obscure? Shirley you're joking
Rotonoto: ah, yes- the genius of obscurity...
cease: but "amazing" is relative. the pbs this is the 4th ive seen in last hour. but by far the best
cease: the cbs sucked.
Principalpoop: she is not, and don't call me shirley
Merlyn: dave, can you send me a private message of the email address your picture would have come from so I can search for it?
Principalpoop: hi ahh, clem

Principalpoop: just include that he used the chat name principlepoop...
Mudhead: Skink, WI

Dave & Katie: and god is on our side
Principalpoop: a nap, not a nappy
Hope: Catherwood, give everyone a Ma Rainey's
||||||||| Catherwood gets everyone a ma rainey's.
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in at 9:54 PM, dragging Bunnyboy by one leg and asks "Can anyone vouch for this Firehead?"
Mudhead: I wont need another

Hope: Somebody sent me a card that said how do you tell the difference between a male and a female chocolate bunny?
Dave & Katie: I tried to read his stuff but actually never got in to it, now what I will do when Terry prattchett shuffles off the discworld, I don't know
cease: i havent read pratchett but should
ah,clem: a "mole skin " was a nickname for an eary contraceptive
Hope: If it has a hollow head it's a male (sorry guys)
Principalpoop: why do I know that name?
ah,clem: early
cease: you think the firesign expected us to know that, clem?
Hope: I didn't know they had skins for ears in those days Ah Clem
Principalpoop: i used a sheep thing once, made me itch horribly
Hope: I'm looking forward to learning the more obscure references from you guys
Principalpoop: oops, wrong chat hehe
ah,clem: lol
Bunnyboy: Eary contraceptive? You should protect your hearing, definitely.
Bubba's Brain: Prevent Hearing AIDS
Hope: Wow, let's go to that other chat room
Dave & Katie: perhaps it's simply spooky
