Archive

||||||||| 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 January 31, 2008 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood pipes up: "8:40 AM and late as usual, it's Firebroiled, just back from Elmertown."
Firebroiled: And here,
of course,
your own personal remote-controlled, picture-sized color TV,
with matching brass knobs!
Just reach above the bar
and press the button right there under the handy laminated imitation masonite
Wild-West gun rack with the look of real wood,
for the channel of your choice!

Firebroiled: . . . .. Don’t we do it in the road,
here at Ralph Spoilsport Motors,
here in the City of West Gomorra?
So just give us a call at 9-1-9-9........

Firebroiled: . . . so hop in your wife
and head in any direction
on the freeway of your choice,
and we’ll see you in a couple of hours,

here at Ralph Spoilsport Motors,
the World’s Biggest,
here in the City of Fine Music.
Thanks for the insurrection,
and now back to our morning concert of
afternoon showtime favorites

-- the Magic Bowl movement from Symphony in C Minus by Johann Amadeus Matetsky.
||||||||| Around 8:43 AM, Firebroiled walks off into the sunset...
||||||||| Outside, the 8:02 PM uptown bus from Waterford pulls away, leaving Mudhead coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
||||||||| Catherwood walks up and announces "Presenting 'ah,clem', just granted probation at 8:03 PM", then leaves hurriedly.

Principalpoop: i thought unknown was a suburb of kalubah
H. Stones: it may be, Poop, but i aint in it
Merlyn: I think lobster was named for an early recipe: "Lob. Stir."

H. Stones: AOL are having major problems in the UK and their customers are leaving in droves
||||||||| "9:32 PM? 9:32 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Bambi should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Bambi enters and sits in the comfy chair.
Principalpoop: it takes a certain level of mental confusion to accept the term, jumbo shrimp

Bambi says Bam! Learned that from Emeril and his garlic additions to his recipes ;-)
RTFiretween: You come up such er, interesting visuals

H. Stones: totally cease
RTFiretween: that would lend some credibility, wouldn't it P
llanwydd: most tv chefs are fat
Bambi: Sorry to hear that Stones!
Principalpoop: none are skinny, only he was fat
llanwydd: rachael ray always looks good though
H. Stones: she was left the house by her father but he died a few months back and the monster is grabbing everything that is not nailed down, including stuff that shouldnt belong to her
Principalpoop: moving is in the top 5 stressful situations
RTFiretween: Of course, foreclosures are getting pretty common these days
RTFiretween: (unfortunately)
Principalpoop: oops, death is in the top 5 also
Bambi: I "guar an tee" it! Justin Tyme or something like that?
H. Stones: the monster has lots of property and doesnt really need Honeys home at all but i think its personal
Principalpoop: that is him, bambi knows him
cease: yes, your foreclosures are collapsing banks up here and everywhere else
RTFiretween: I've moved so many times since '95 it's getting to be pretty mundane

Principalpoop: you are a rolling stone, all covered with moss now
RTFiretween: Don't doubt it cease
llanwydd: I must have missed something
Bambi: I use his great macaroni salad recipe ... did I mention I hate macaroni salad except that one!

||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in at 9:44 PM, dragging Dexter Fong by the hair and asks "Can anyone vouch for this idiot?"
Principalpoop: what is in a geek salad? if no olives?
H. Stones: Greetings Sir Fong
RTFiretween: Hi Dex
Bambi: he called for green olives ... I don't like any of them black or green

Principalpoop: no no, i love bacon and onions but you can't fool me
Bambi: yeah, I know ... but I like my own programming on the geek salad .. .thank you very much! and it's <=> olives
Dexter Fong: What FST are we listening to
Principalpoop: i can eat fish, not my favorite, love oysters and lobsters and crabs and scallops and clams and stuff
llanwydd: I can eat raw fish if it isn't strong
Bambi: my too llanwydd (liver) ... and I like it then; but it has to be browned quickly but thoroughly so it's tender but done.
llanwydd: in fact I love raw salmon on a bagel with cream cheese and onion
Principalpoop: ahh, with those old ibm cards in the geek salad for croutons
H. Stones: liver is good with onions and peppers
cease: lol p[oop
Dexter Fong: What FST are we listening to
Bambi: for me it's white fish and lobster, crab, shrimp, scallops
Principalpoop: the same fst as always, 4-5 wild guys
Bambi: ah, yes...salmon is the one non-white fish I will eat and love
cease: i think we hate food cuz our bodies tell us to. we have a bad chemical reaction to it.
llanwydd: lobster is my favorite seafood
RTFiretween: cease, is there such an album as Dear Friends Too?
cease: doesnt mean food is bad, it just means its bad to us.
Dexter Fong: Poop: Can you be more specific?

H. Stones: vit c comes from a wide variety of fruit and veg
llanwydd: interesting idea to put alcohol on french fries
cease: i had a scallop that had almost turned into an apple at a local place recently
Bambi: Orange Fiber Choice chewables?
Bambi smiles
Dexter Fong: According to *my* careful prothesis, did is a radio show...doesn't seem to be collected segments....thus it's probably Dear friends i would think
Principalpoop: surf and orchard instead of surf and turf?
cease: i think so too dex
Dexter Fong: but it could be Lets Eat I suppose
RTFiretween: Not the original Dear Friends for sure
Principalpoop: not a lets eat that I know
llanwydd: if you are ever in the florida town of ormond-by-the-sea, stop in at Betty's for the scallop roll
llanwydd: you have never had better
Bambi: surf and Outback style baked sweet potato
Principalpoop: yams bambi?
Dexter Fong: Tween: I meant Dear Friends the Radio show, not the album which is composed of mostly bits and pieces from said show
Principalpoop: i'll bite a scallop roll
RTFiretween: ah so
Bambi: could be PrinceP ... they call it sweet potato though don't they?
Principalpoop: i am confused about that, i think they are same
ah,clem: scallops provalone, yum
Principalpoop: lemons are good too
llanwydd: Ithat reminds me of the archaic slang term, "sweet patootie"
Bambi: they look like yams, but I think they call'em sweet potatos
llanwydd: which is what some men used to call their "significant other"
llanwydd: if they didn't know better english
Bambi: and with their butter and brown sugar....yummmm
Principalpoop: we had them baked with butter and brown sugar, you can do that with squash too
Principalpoop: ahh bambi, cool lol

Principalpoop: patootie comes from a song, oh patootie...
Dexter Fong: llan: What are you doing in Beaverton, Oregon?

||||||||| Catherwood says "9:58 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs H. Stones by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
Principalpoop: that animal is sick
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and snorts derisively "Announcing 'H. Stones', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:58 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the vestibule...
Principalpoop: wb stones

RTFiretween: Not in the last week, Dex

Principalpoop: ahh the music from that porno movie
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 10:03 PM and Stones waltzes out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
Principalpoop: are you here stones?
Stones: Sorry about that, AOL dumped me again and now i cannot even use my own name
RTFiretween: THat _does_ seem to be the theme these days, P ;-)
Dexter Fong: Dear stones Two?

Merlyn: Bluto isn't a planet anymore, PP
Merlyn: "Now show me on the doll universe where the other universe touched you"
Dexter Fong: Reach out and touch the big hole
llanwydd: hole in the universe. very interesting
Stones: its in the Sweet Pea Galaxy Merlyn

Bambi: yeah, been demoted... wonder if that comes with a bad cut in pay?
RTFiretween: LOL Merl
Stones: Theres a hole in my Universe Dear Liza
Dexter Fong: Yeah, and give us diaphrams...er diagrams and everything
Principalpoop: sure there are many universes, but we are stuck in this one anyway
Stones: and cowbells, Fong
RTFiretween: Egyptian diaphrams?
Bambi: sounds more like a swipe by a black hole than just another passing univese
RTFiretween: Hydroglyphs?
Principalpoop: it keeps my mind from wandering, where it will go
Merlyn: we need a cowbell universe
Stones: to boldly wander, Poop
Dexter Fong: Tween, is that writing your name in the snow
Principalpoop: can you read it, what does it say?
RTFiretween: A black hole in our vicinity would be very bad news
cease: where are the beatles when we need them?
cease: do the dead go the next universe?
RTFiretween: across the universe?
Principalpoop: for you, blue
Stones: dont eat that yellow snow Poop
RTFiretween: Have to ask Jerry about that one, cease
llanwydd: a hole of the black persuasion
Bambi: just a swipe by one Tween, on it's way to elsewhere
cease: maybe george and john can get to edge of their universe and paul and ringo can go to our edge and they can jam
Bambi: you know like those speeding black cars at night
Principalpoop: i'll be the roundabout
Stones: i hope the one that Paul goes to is a long way from here
Dexter Fong: Bambi: Don't forget about the speeding black helicopters
Principalpoop: and spend the day your way
RTFiretween: lol Stones
llanwydd: our part of the galaxy will pass through IT
RTFiretween: Not a Paul fan, eh?

cease: exactly, llan
Stones: you are a master of understatement, Tween
llanwydd: I've always liked Paul
Principalpoop: stones never forgave him for marrying linda
cease: no pal is still with us
Bambi: IT...sounds like a Stephen King book I read once..
cease: just my idea about how the dead could contact us.
llanwydd: I read that too
cease: if the dead are indeed in the next universe
Stones: i never forgave him for many of his songs, i dont blame Linda for that
llanwydd: amazingly long for such a poorly written book
cease: if Next has any meaning
Dexter Fong: I've always wondered why the dead would want to contact us assuming they could
Stones: for a start he didnt use nearly enough cowbells
cease: it does show our uniser is limited by other universes
Principalpoop: he was downhill after The Stand
llanwydd: well there WERE bells on a hill but I never heard them ringing
cease: you wonder in a different way than i do, dex
Dexter Fong: Stones: DIdn't Paul duet with Dickie Cowbell?
Principalpoop: what would you do, if I chatted out of tune?
Stones: yes but he insisted that the cowbells were mixed down
Stones: typical of him
cease: which one was the dick?
Dexter Fong: What an ego
Principalpoop: let go me ego
Stones: he wanted the business to be McCartney Lennon in stead of Lennon McCartney
Dexter Fong: I beat the ego off of poop
Principalpoop: thanks fong

Stones: or maybe A Rush
Principalpoop: i have not felt a rush in a while
llanwydd: rush?
Stones: you need a better dealier, Poop
Bambi: Stones ... sounds like so many other two headed dragons ... cut off one head to spite themselves never realizing that it would have killed the beast... besides Lennon McCartney sounds better ... the syll abb ules fall more flowing
Principalpoop: not even at the table stones
Stones: preferably one who can speel better than i can
cease: indeed, bm
Principalpoop: too many chiefs and not enough indians
Stones: i have said before that i believe Macca is to music what Tom Cruise is to acting
Dexter Fong: Are you mocking Macca?
cease: he did good stuff with lenon, stones
RTFiretween: McCartney's "Dance Tonight" very much sounds like old Beatles to me
llanwydd: not familiar with macca
cease: i loved lotsa beatels
Stones: well at least macca is not a Scientologist
RTFiretween: I like it for it's melodic simplicity
RTFiretween: Just one of the 'feel good' tunes they used to do
cease: yet
cease: how did wlil smith get sucked into it?
RTFiretween: Sooner or later, you'll be a Scientologist
Bambi: I've heard that someone recently Tween (McCartney's Dance Tonight) ... maybe I got it on iTunes Plus ... looking...
cease: i would never have thought he was that stupid
Principalpoop: in another universe, ringo was the lead beatle
ah,clem: ...
Stones: Maccas is too much of a tight wad to give money to Da Do Ron Ron Hubbard
RTFiretween: Didn't know Will Smith was involved
ah,clem: LOL Stones
Dexter Fong: The Led Beatles....wow
llanwydd: Elrond Clabbard
RTFiretween: Sorry to hear. I like him in the roles he's done
