||||||||| 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 26, 2009 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| 6:57 AM: Firebroiled jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past year and a half!"
Firebroiled: Out of the fog . . .
into the smog . .
.relentlessly . . .
ruthlessly . . . . . .
doggadly . . .
toward his weekly meeting with The Unknown.

At 4th and Drucker he turns left.
At Drucker and 4th he turns right.

He crosses MacArthur Park
and walks into a great sandstone building.

Groping for the door,
he steps inside,
climbs the thirteen steps to his office . . .

He walks in!
He’s ready for mystery . . .
he’s ready for excitment . . .
he’s ready for anything . .
.he’s . . .

Dexter Fong, No Eyes!
||||||||| 6:57 AM -- Firebroiled left for parts unknown. (Entry from Nick Danger's "Idiots I Have Been Paid To Follow").

llanwydd: I vaguely remember this happening last week
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and intones "Announcing 'cease', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:11 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...

||||||||| "Hey Dexter Fong!" ... Dexter Fong turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 12:01 AM, I don't have to go yet!"...
||||||||| Catherwood walks in wearing his pyjamas, yawns, and mumbles "It's midnight here in New York city"...then he falls over and starts snoring loudly..
Principalpoop: ahh the high holy holidays happen again ciaoo
||||||||| Principalpoop departs at 12:01 AM, singing "Toad away, toad away; toad away, toad away! Where do you go when you're toad away?"
||||||||| Simon Sezz enters at 1:05 AM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and scurries off to the Chapeau Manger.
Simon Sezz: I'm sorry, Barry, Barack, Rocky, or whatever your real name is, besides asking the Treasury department to budget three trillion dollars for your plans, your online attempt at becoming an Americn Idol has failed. You are being sent home. We expected a lot more intelligence and "Change We Can Believe In" from a member of Hawaiian royal bloodlines. Better luck next time. For instance here in a description of your online town hall meeting, the Associated Press tells this story about you. "Obama joked at one point about the most popular question from his online audience whether he favored legalizing marijuana and could that turn around the economy.(?)
Simon Sezz: "I don't know what this says about the online audience," he said with a smile, adding that he opposed legalizing the illicit drug." source --
Simon Sezz: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29892857/
Simon Sezz: Besides, it would take tooo long to count to a trillion three times.
||||||||| At 1:06 AM, Simon Sezz vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
||||||||| Catherwood leads Joe ''Buy Buy'' Byeden Vice Prez inside, makes a note of the time (1:07 AM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
Joe ''Buy Buy'' Byeden Vice Prez: I can count to three trillion. One trillion, two trilllion, three trillion.
||||||||| "1:08 AM? I'm late!" exclaims Joe ''Buy Buy'' Byeden Vice Prez, who then dashes out through the french doors and down through the flowerbeds.
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in at 4:18 AM, dragging Power thy name is secrecy by the hair and asks "Can anyone vouch for this bozo?"
Power thy name is secrecy: Mercury enters Aries March 25th 00:00 Aries ** Venus square Pluto April 3rd Venus Aries; Pluto Capricorn ** Pluto Retrograde (until 09/11/09) April 4th 03:18 Capricorn ** Mercury enters Taurus April 9th 00:00 Taurus ** Venus (retrograde) enters Pisces April 11th 30:59 Pisces ** Mars conjunct Uranus April 15th Mars & Uranus in Pisces ** Venus Direct (retrograde since March 6, 2009) April 17th 29:13 Pisces ** Sun enters Taurus April 19th 00:00 Taurus ** Venus conjunct Mars April 21st Venus Pisces; Mars Pisces ** Mars enters Aries April 22nd 00:00 Aries ** Venus enters Aries April 24th 00:00 Aries ** Mars square Pluto April 26th Mars Aries; Pluto Capricorn ** Mercury enters Gemini April 30th 00:00 Gemini ** Venus square Pluto May 2nd Venus Aries; Pluto Capricorn ** Sun trine Saturn May 5th Sun Taurus; Saturn Virgo ** Mercury Retrograde (until May 30th, 2009) May 6th-7th 01:44 Gemini
Power thy name is secrecy: What this means to me is that Mercury will be travelling very fast through Aries, making the entire journey across it in two weeks. This will be a time of supercomputing that prepares the mind for the time Mercury will cross luxurious earthy Taurus on April 9th. Mercury gets to Gemini, a houe it rules on April 30th, but doesn't stay long. It immediately goes retro, counterclockwise, and back into a tour review of Taurus for the month of May. Venus is at a ninety degree angle to Pluto which is visiting earthy Capricorn and, apparently the stress sends Pluto counterclockwise, retrograde, for the entire spring and summer, seeking to understand what Capricorn is all about. Good for Pluto, yet the studious endeavour may be hard to visualise for spunky Pluto. Understanding will be required regarding Pluto and its ruling house of ice, Scorpio. Pluto is going to square, with stress, a few planets this year, but it is a time of knowledge and power that will come to a head in August and September before relaxing out. Venus and Mars are the highlight this spring and summer, since they will be conjunct, a couple of times. Firstly in Pisces during April, before Mars escorts Venus into his kingdom, Aries. Before that, however, Mars has a conjunction with Uranus in Pisces, which will educate them both and perhaps save the day later in the month and next month when both Mars and Venus are conjunct while in square to Pluto. Mercury will enter Gemini, briefly, before retrograde returns it to Taurus, helping Venus to understand during the terribly unfortunate squaring off with Pluto, with Mars at her side. The month of Taurus will have begun by that time, and the Sun, in Taurus, should help ease the tensions by way of a 120 degree angle, a trine, to and with Saturn in Virgo. April 2009 may not seem like an eventful month, but it is a time of cautious learning, planning, and perhaps some restraint that will make life more bearable when the going gets tough and the tough get going in late August and early September.
Power thy name is secrecy: Wish me ready to roar, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood wishes Power thy name is secrecy ready to roar.
||||||||| 4:21 AM -- Power thy name is secrecy left for parts unknown. (Entry from Nick Danger's "Idiots I Have Been Paid To Follow").
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Power thy name is secrecy close behind, grumbles something about disrupting his 4:23 AM tree-stunting plans, and dashes off to the anteroom.
Power thy name is secrecy: CORRECTION Mercury gets to Gemini, a SIGN it rules on April 30th, but doesn't stay long
Power thy name is secrecy: Correct me if I am wrong, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood corrects Power thy name is secrecy if i am wrong.
||||||||| At 4:24 AM, Power thy name is secrecy vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
||||||||| "4:27 AM? 4:27 AM!!" says Catherwood, "Power thy name is secrecy should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Power thy name is secrecy enters and sits on the divan.
Power thy name is secrecy: Astrology aspects are quoted from an adaptation of the 2009 major aspects chat graph at ThinkAstro.com
Power thy name is secrecy: Fare me well, Catherwood.

||||||||| Power thy name is secrecy leaves at 4:28 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..."
||||||||| Catherwood enters, and announces to all and sundry "It's 4:32 AM, time to change the log file and clean out unused rooms; please exit the chat room for a minute or two. Thank you for your patience."
