||||||||| 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 December 25, 2008 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies H. Stones inside, makes a note of the time (5:11 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
H. Stones: Hmm no one here, must be a holiday of some kind, what a funny time of year to have one !
||||||||| It's 5:20 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| H. Stones - dead from dengue fever
 ||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood leads ah,clem in through the front door at 7:52 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 eastern'
||||||||| ah,clem leaves at 7:54 PM, 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..."
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in at 8:03 PM, dragging Woody 1 by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this yo-yo?"
Woody 1: I's a waitin'. The last time Master Phil Austin had shown up here was Christmas or Thanksgiving a few years ago. Bee Back. Ouch. Wifee's calling.
Woody 1: Watch my puter freeze up. I'm not leaving for a while.
Woody 1: New pc sucks big time. And it's Pista(Vista).
||||||||| Catherwood walks up and announces "Presenting 'H. Stones', just granted probation at 8:12 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
H. Stones: Catherwood, i will be back
||||||||| Catherwood pretends not to hear H. Stones
||||||||| H. Stones rushes off, saying "8:15 PM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?"
Woody 1: Alright Madam. I mean Stones, Sir. I'll be in and out, mostly out and in. See ya in a bit. I'm trying to get hungry again before it gets too late. Oh the food. All who can afford it should give all 3 meals a day to the poor and homeless for the next 5 years, ar which time the streets will be full of unhealthy overweight individuals. That one's mine foilks. Ha ha.
||||||||| JollyOldStTween enters at 8:50 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and hurries off to the Chapeau Manger.
JollyOldStTween: Ho Ho Ho
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in and pipes up "Presenting 'H. Stones', just granted probation at 8:54 PM", then leaves hurriedly.

||||||||| Catherwood walks over to Bambi and asks "Would you like something?"
cease: you're a lovely family
H. Stones: and what purpose would that be llan ?

||||||||| "9:06 PM? 9:06 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Woody 1 should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Woody 1 enters and sits at the bar.

||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Tor Hershman into the room, accepts a grimy quarter as a gratuity, grumbles something about 9:08 PM, then departs.
cease: they come, they go
cease: hi tor
Tor Hershman: Happy Humbug, All
H. Stones: He wrote, Waiting for Godot, The Caretake, etc

H. Stones: i call her up on my voip phone
Tor Hershman: "Ohio Impormtu" is tooooo cool
H. Stones: correct, llan, was just reading about Becket and got my wires crossed
Bambi: that really is sad Stones ... when you talk with her, please tell her we are thinking of her and hope things get better soon!
Tor Hershman: I also dig "End Game" if'in moi recalls the title correctly
JollyOldStTween: "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baronÕs cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences."- Ñ C. S. Lewis
H. Stones: Pinter was a cool but rather grumpy old guy, hated Blairs bunch of wankers
Tor Hershman: Man, that Beckett dude could take the quotidian and make it into ture art
Bambi: that is a wonderful quote by C.S. Lewis
cease: all the best to honey
Tor Hershman: Methinks Pinter t'were a bit of a 'inspired by Beckett' dude
H. Stones: i will pass it on, thanks Bambi and Cease
Bambi: unfortunately, our country seems to think they have the right to legislate morality (which they have re-defined) these days
H. Stones: they had a few things in common Tor
cease: sounds a bit too libertarian for me
cease: the dudes influenced themselves alot
Tor Hershman: Creeps ain't got a conscience - just an empty pit in there heads, full of pain and tryin' to cover the agnoy with others' discomfort
cease: what would firesiong be without their influences?
cease: ya'll read the interview tih the gqang in that gold mine mag?
cease: very current
cease: they spoke of their influences
Tor Hershman: Gad, Cease, we'ins all have a few things in common
Tor Hershman: How is it 'empty' and 'full' at the same time (Speakin' of moi's post)
JollyOldStTween: <> lol cease
cease: we'ins likely du
JollyOldStTween: Have a URL cease?
Tor Hershman: Well, is the glass half empty or half full? It's always 100% full. 1/2 full of liquid - 1/2 full of air orrrrrrrrr
cease: dont chall get the weekly fiesign review? or daily sometimes
cease: i hitnk its a google group
JollyOldStTween: Hmmmm did't pass the quote >>sounds a bit too libertarian for me<<
Bambi: I remember a similar colloqueism (sp?) in PA ... they would say you'ins
Tor Hershman: Full of gravity, or sound, or light, or neutrinos, etc
H. Stones: If you have only one of something you can't say it's the best of anything.
JollyOldStTween: picky picky, TOR
cease: the dude has al the old firesign mags, el's for esample and ealrlie ones
H. Stones: thats a pinter quote
Tor Hershman: Bam, that's yunz and yep, moi's 'tis from Southwest Pa
Bambi: very true about the glass part liquid, part air ... but not always 1/2 and 1/2 ;-)
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and snorts derisively "Announcing 'Bubba's Brain', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:16 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...
Bambi: I spent about 1 1/2 to 2 yrs in the Carlisle area many moons ago
Bubba's Brain: Hey all.
Bambi: Happy Christmas Bubba
llanwydd: Merry Christmas, Bub!
JollyOldStTween: So, everybody ready to join the soup line next year?

cease: h8i bub
JollyOldStTween: You are very welcome, Bambi & clem
Tor Hershman: Nope, Tween, firstly at (old) lock #8 and then #7 (On the Mon river) then locks #13 & #14 on the Ohio river
Bambi: does that make me an anarchist Stones?
cease: yes lets al be optimistic
doctec: but despite my slip-ups, i am still gainfully employed

llanwydd: I'll guess. stones. caffeine is fascist?
H. Stones: Because Proper Tea is Theft !
JollyOldStTween: Didn't know they still used locks on the Ohio

JollyOldStTween: good one, Doc :)
llanwydd: I thought masculin feminin was truffaut. but I haven't watched french film in quite some time
Bubba's Brain: I haven't checked in wiht folks in a long time.
JollyOldStTween: 1984 with John Hurt is excelent
doctec: i would love to see alphaville remade - but it would have to be done right, by the right director - maybe david fincher or possible andrew niccol
doctec: but what do i know

H. Stones: Just Phoning Honey
cease: that sounds erotic, stones
H. Stones: a bit cold for eros methinks, cease
Bambi: that is so true Tween ... and they have been working hard at that
cease: jjst the sentence, stones
Bubba's Brain: It could go away at any time if the big projects end, but maybe by that time, they'll have more big projects.
doctec: movie remakes are like cover versions of pop tunes - most of them suck but when an artist takes an existing work and puts a new and interesting spin on it, it's both a homage and a new work that stands on its own
Bambi: Hi Honey!! Happy Christmas from Clem and Bambi!

llanwydd: I still want to see the remake of the manchurian candidate

Bambi: picked up the manchurian candidate on an old dvd ... good story

Bambi: kewl Stones! Hope Honey is well and warm
H. Stones: still snowing and blowing hard in NM
