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 August 13, 2009 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Firebroiled enters at 7:42 AM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and rushes off to the Hat Pack Annex.
Firebroiled: Yes, Friends,
welcome to Pastor Flash’s hour 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: I’m down!

Thank you, Dear Friends,

I’m down, I’m grounded,
safe
and sound,

trailing clouds of glory,

I’m down.

And I’m marching!
Yes, Dear Friends,
I’m marching to dinner!

‘Cause Godamighty,
I’m hungray!

Yes! I’m hungray!
Safe
and sound

and hungray!
||||||||| Firebroiled leaves at 7:46 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 steals into the room, and pipes up "Announcing 'ah,clem', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 8:23 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 eastern time'
||||||||| ah,clem is kicked out just as the clock strikes 8:24 PM.
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Dexter Fong close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 8:54 PM tree-stunting plans, and scurries off to the sitting room.
Dexter Fong: Hungray!?
Dexter Fong: Hungray!?
Dexter Fong: Hungray!???
Dexter Fong: What kind of talk is that Broiled?
Dexter Fong: Hungry I can understand
Dexter Fong: Hang Gray is somewhat harder to understand
Dexter Fong: Perhaps there's a Hungarian connection which I'm missing
Dexter Fong: In any event, I'm glad to hear you're safe and sound
Dexter Fong: Safe as houses and sound as a sand dollar floating at the bottom of the Euro pool
Dexter Fong: ...and perhaps dear Broiled you'll join us sometime for the real chat
Dexter Fong: Which is not yet in progress
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 9:00 PM and cease bounds out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
