Weekly Firesign Chat Cheese Log

A Firesign Chat
07/30/2009

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 July 30, 2009 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood snorts derisively: "5:42 AM and late as usual, it's Firebroiled, just back from Washington."
Firebroiled: Yet now, as inevitable as dawn,
the Sun, arching on its axis,
rises to meet the East -- chariot-racing across the high noon desert sky,

only to plummit, like bald Icarus,

into the sensual, fermenting seas of the South Pacific

And even now,
yet, as scary night decends upon us,
we could appreciate the Wonders of Nature
as stimulating as Man’s Own Triumphs!

Let us pause . . .
Firebroiled: The Future Fair!

A Fair for All, and no fare to anybody!
Yes, it’s free!

Join the expectant crowd gathering now,
as we stop here on DUTCH ELM STREET! . . .

Come closer, folks.
Don’t crowd the wheels . . .

Doors Open!

Doors close in five seconds.
||||||||| 5:43 AM -- Firebroiled left for parts unknown. (Entry from Nick Danger's "Idiots I Have Been Paid To Follow").
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 6:47 AM and Vampin de Lectrician steps out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
Vampin de Lectrician: Narrator: This life sized replica of the Taj Mahal made entirely out of oleomargarine houses our guru, Tiny Doctor Tim. Let's knock on the door and see if he's in.
TDT: Hello. I thought I would just drop out and say "Hello". Hello.
(exits)
Narrator: Come back, Tiny Doctor Tim. We want to talk to yah.

Vampin de Lectrician: Goeth renaissance with oberon and titania and havva midsummer nights dream.
||||||||| At 6:50 AM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Vampin de Lectrician!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| RedPillTweeny enters at 7:38 AM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and scurries off to the Haberdashery Barn.
||||||||| It's 7:50 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| RedPillTweeny - dead from jaundice
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Bambi close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 8:58 PM tree-stunting plans, and rushes off to the anteroom.
||||||||| 8:58 PM -- Bambi left for parts unknown. (Entry from Nick Danger's "Idiots I Have Been Paid To Follow").

||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and llanwyd falls out at 9:15 PM.
Bambi: wb llan
cease: dont remember why. just that it was blue
ah,clem: yellow whiskey meets green copper sulfate?
cease: like the fabled blue men of morrocco
llanwydd: didn't mean to do that
cease: that owuld make sense, clem
Bambi: lol
cease: but it wasnt salable.
ah,clem: and bad whiskey, lol
cease: eventually he created Seagrams and Neal Amid was there to mock it
Bambi: yellow minus green equals blue lol
Bambi: lol
llanwydd: I thought bronfman was the canada dry guy
llanwydd: ok, now I get it
cease: at least one other intersting thing happened in Yorkton Saskatchewan
Bambi: same company roots I do believe

llanwydd: or canada pure
cease: he was imnporting scotch but wanted to save money by making his own
llanwydd: I got confuse
llanwydd: confused
cease: if youren ot confused by firesign, you're not paying attention
Bambi: "The Seagram Company Ltd. was a large corporation headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada that was the largest distiller of alcoholic beverages in the world. Toward the end of its independent existence it also controlled various entertainment and other business ventures. The Seagram assets have since been acquired by other companies, notably PepsiCo, Diageo, and Pernod Ricard."
llanwydd: but if you're confusing now you ain't seen nothing yet
llanwydd: and you won't
llanwydd: I didnt know that bambi. that's very interesting
cease: i used to drink 20 cent beer at his Balmoral Hotel in the late 60s
llanwydd: I've never been much into distilled spirits and I've probably never tried seagrams
ah,clem: 5 for $1, not bad, lol
llanwydd: so the balmoral hotel is real
Bambi: so indirectly seagrams is NOW owned by the same company as canada dry ... pepsico lol
cease: for 69 it was standard price
cease: ah, i see bambi
Bambi: I used to drink no beer, and now.... I still drink no beer lol
ah,clem: got really sick on seagrams 7 in high school, can't stand the smell of it to this day
cease: very Noh
llanwydd: I used to love canada dry in the days very long ago when I drank anything besides diet soft drinks
cease: never liked whiskey.
cease: but canada dry is a decent ginger ale
cease: vernors was the best.
llanwydd: I liked vernors too but I came by it very rarely
||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and snorts derisively "Announcing 'GroovyTweeny', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:24 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
GroovyTweeny: Recently returned from Regrooving
llanwydd: Hey Tween!
cease: the dryness of canada dry is very rfefreshing. the strenght of vernors was in its taste, like somre sort of wood.
