||||||||| 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 March 27, 2008 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood leads Firebroiled in through the front door at 8:35 AM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
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.

Not you, Bush!
||||||||| Firebroiled leaves at 8:36 AM, 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..."
||||||||| The other guy steals in around 3:48 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last week's "unpleasant incident."
The other guy: I know that Fred has closed the curtain, but where oh where is Catherwood?
||||||||| Catherwood strides over to The other guy and yells "oh, fuck off The other guy!"
The other guy: Bite me Dr. Memory!
The other guy: Have at you!
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 4 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
The other guy: Is Catherwood wearing a dress?
||||||||| Catherwood ignores The other guy
||||||||| It's 4:40 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| The other guy - dead from dengue fever
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Outside, the 8:30 PM bus from Billville pulls away, leaving ah,clem coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 eastern, vote for Papoon'
||||||||| ah,clem says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, ah,clem exits at 8:31 PM.
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Mudhead into the room, accepts a $3 bill as a gratuity, mutters something about 8:31 PM, then departs.
||||||||| Catherwood stomps in at 8:34 PM, dragging Woody 1 by one leg and asks "Can anyone vouch for this web surfer?"
Woody 1: Welcome Bozos and Bozoettes. I guess I feel like the MC. Here's a FAMILIAR that you can check out just to get in a mood. Monty Python's ""am. See yall in a bit. Woody 1 falls off of the two story building, being pushed by a thug of questionable intelligence.
Woody 1: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5627694446211716271
Woody 1: Talk to after dinner in the sitting room. W1

||||||||| Mudhead - dead from The Plague
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and announces "Announcing 'llanwydd', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:04 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood announces: "9:04 PM and late as usual, it's Fred, just back from New York."
