Weekly Firesign Chat Cheese Log

A Firesign Chat
05/07/2009

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 May 07, 2009 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood leads Firebroiled inside, makes a note of the time (7:19 AM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
Firebroiled: Yes, Friends, welcome to Pastor Flash’s our of Reckoning,
here at Ralph Spoilsport Motors,
Yes, it’s free!

I might as well walk over to the old yellow line
Oh! I’m terribly sorry, that’s not correct!
You didn’t “Beat The Reaper!”
Come closer, folks.
Don’t crowd the wheels . . .

Doors Open!

Doors close in five seconds
Firebroiled: Well, we were covered with a molten scum of rocks,
bobbling on the surface like rats.
Later, when there was less heat,
these giant rock-groups settled down amoung the land masses.

During this extinct time,
our Earth was like a steam room,
and no one, not even Man, could get in.

However, the oceans and the sewers were simmering with a rich potein stew,
and the mountains moved in to surround and protect them.

They didn’t know then that living as we know it was already taken over . . .
Firebroiled: Yes, Friends, welcome to Pastor Flash’s our of Reckoning,
with Organ Leroy at his organ again,
and the Fifty-Voice St. Louis Aquarium Choir.
I’m Decon E. L. Mouse.

But, Dear Friends in these days of modern time,
when you can’t tell the AC’s from the DC’s,
well aren’t we all yearning for someone who can turn on a little stopping power?

Dear Friends, I mean a smokey glass.
Don’t you think I mean a lightning rod
with which to chase these spooks away?
Don’t you know I mean our own Pastor Rod Flash!

He’s been up for a week,

but he’s coming down!
Firebroiled: Even you, Dexter
||||||||| Firebroiled leaves at 7:21 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..."
||||||||| 7:39 PM: BigTweenyIsWatching jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past five minutes!"

||||||||| Catherwood stomps in at 8:25 PM, dragging ah,clem by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this idiot?"
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 eastern time'
||||||||| ah,clem is forcibly ejected just as the clock strikes 8:26 PM.
||||||||| Outside, the 8:44 PM crosstown bus from Hellmouth pulls away, leaving Mudhead coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Mudhead: nobody is chatting
||||||||| Dexter Fong bounds in at 8:48 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Yamamoto inside, makes a note of the time (8:48 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
