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 September 03, 2009 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Astrology Buffy at Starfleet enters at 5:22 AM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and scurries off to the Chapeau Manger.
Astrology Buffy at Starfleet: The exact moment of Mars at 5 degrees 37 minutes of Cancer square Mercury at 5 degrees 37 minutes of Libra will happen betwen 10:45 AM CDT and 10:46 AM CDT Thursday 09/03/09, Septemer 03 2009. You have until that time to prepare for that moment, when Mars in Cancer squares Mercury in Libra. Communications will be difficult at this time for friends as well as foes. At that time Jupiter at 9 Aquarius will be five degrees from Neptune at 24 Aquarius which will be five degrees from the Moon at 29 Aquarius and semisextile to Uranus in Pisces at 25 Pisces. The Moon at eleven degrees of Pisces goes (Full Moon) opposite the Sun at eleven degrees of Virgo at approximately 4:00 AM CDT September 04 2009, 09/04/09. Venus in Leo, near semisextile the Sun in Virgo, is near sextile to Mercury which is stopping to orbit retrograde (counterclockwise) for three weeks this month. Mercury at zero degrees in Libra will square Pluto in Capricorn again during that time, and again after going direct in early October. By that time retrograde Pluto in Capricorn will have begun normal clockwise orbit, going direct on 09/11/09. REPEATING: Mars in Cancer (05°37') exactly squares Mercury in Libra (05°37') sometime between 10:45 AM CDT and 10:46 AM CDT today 09/03/09. (Mars, ruler of fiery Aries in a water sign, Cancer, sign of the home square Mercury, ruler of Gemini and Virgo, the logical, in Libra, the sign of the judgemental scales of balance. For the moment they will be at odds. Use caution guarding all transmissions applying full power levels for twenty four hours, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood says "It's 5:23 AM, exactly!"
Astrology Buffy at Starfleet: Put in my tempus fugit machine forward engines to warp three speeds, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood puts in Astrology Buffy at Starfleet's tempus fugit machine forward engines to warp three speeds.
Astrology Buffy at Starfleet: Catherwood, wear garlic.
||||||||| Catherwood strides over to Astrology Buffy at Starfleet and inquires "Did you need me?"
||||||||| Catherwood says "5:29 AM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs Astrology Buffy at Starfleet by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
||||||||| 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 Astrology Buffy at Starfleet falls out at 5:31 AM.
Astrology Buffy at Starfleet: Correction, Catherwood, place Jupiter at nineteen degrees of Aquarius.
||||||||| Catherwood pretends not to hear Astrology Buffy at Starfleet
Astrology Buffy at Starfleet: Correction to above places Jupiter at 19 Aquarius. Get it, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood gets it.
Astrology Buffy at Starfleet: Thank you, Catherwood.

Astrology Buffy at Starfleet: Catherwood, walk a mile in my shoes wearing garlic cloves and hoofs it.
||||||||| Catherwood miles in Astrology Buffy at Starfleet's shoes wearing garlic cloves and hoofs it.
||||||||| Astrology Buffy at Starfleet departs at 5:41 AM, singing "Toad away, toad away; toad away, toad away! Where do you go when you're toad away?"
||||||||| Catherwood ushers ah,clem into the room, accepts a jar of pennies as a gratuity, mumbles something about 8:36 PM, then departs.
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 eastern'
||||||||| At 8:38 PM, ah,clem vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Dexter Fong inside, makes a note of the time (8:58 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.

ah,clem: "it's like the y know"
Elayne: Where are you again, Llan?
catherwydd: ticonderoga
Dexter Fong: wydd: If you sneak out at night with a powerful flashlight, you can catch the leaves turing
Dexter Fong: turning
Elayne: Oh wow, Llan, this is about the time of year I start yearning to drive upstate. Wish I had the vacation time (and that Robin had the money, he's still unemployed).
Bambi: same here Elayne in VA ... Sept 1 started autumn after being in the 90s the day before
Elayne: I think we may go up to New Paltz again later in the month, that's probably as far as I want to drive in a day.
cease: elm has blogspot never altered your pix?
Elayne: I wish Robin could drive, I hate going to New Paltz and not being able to partake of the wineries...
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in and announces "Presenting 'Principalpoop', just granted probation at 9:23 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
Principalpoop: good evening
catherwydd: Hey Princ!
Dexter Fong: Hey poop
Elayne: Cat, I've not had problems uploading there, but as I mentioned to you in email I manipulate (rotate, etc.) all my photos beforehand.
Elayne: Hey Prinpoop!
cease: hi poop
cease: bergmans ego is so annoying
cease: he's so much better with others than his mirror for a partner
Principalpoop: autumn or fall?
cease: yes i tried last night to send more squarish images. seemed to work
ah,clem: still a great piece
cease: the oddity is that i could submit a horizontal shot and be accepted, but when i tried verticle version of said, it was rejected.
catherwydd: sometimes I say fall, sometimes autumn, depending who I'm talking to
cease: i didnt like the editing
catherwydd: so, what you folks listening to?
Principalpoop: it sounds like steve allen talking now
Dexter Fong: We control the horizontal...We control the vertical....We control the squarish

Principalpoop: ahh that explains it
Dexter Fong: Poop and wydd: Steve Allen interviewing the FST

Bambi: hey princep

catherwydd: he had to have heard of them of course
Elayne: Absolutely, Cat.
ah,clem: number 9, number 9, number 9,.....
Elayne: Prinpoop, I don't give a hoot about the Rock Band crap, I'm in it for the remastered DVDs. :)
cease: the beatles sure had an inspiring effect on the fireguys, even beyond bergmans desire for his own group
Dexter Fong: E: You got to get them in the original mono
Principalpoop: i plan to buy the whole system as an exercise machine
Elayne: Not that we can afford any of that anyway. I'll probably dip into my savings to buy it for Robin in December for his birthday/our anniversary/Christmas.
Elayne: Don't worry Dex, we will. Robin's quite the Beatles audiophile.
cease: read bio of lennon recently. not a bloke i'd care to know, but enjoyed a few of his tunes
Principalpoop: if I fell in love with you, would you promise to be true?
cease: knee jerk liberals, god bless us
Elayne: Pretty much how I feel, Cat. The boy had his problems.
Elayne: As for me, I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink....

Dexter Fong: Wow: just like the Gong show
Principalpoop: tired after a long day at work
cease: she brought us into existence. she has other interests

Bunnyboy: Sort of a "straight" version of the "Intro/Outro" piece.
Dexter Fong: Bunny, how long have you been a "shadow" member of the Smithsonian
Bunnyboy: Do you "think" I "use" "enough" "quotes"?
Dexter Fong: Never heard the "gay" version
catherwydd: a glockenspiel IS tubular bells
Dexter Fong: Nix Wydd
Dexter Fong: Glock is either a small Xykaphone or a Gernab hand gub
Bunnyboy: Actually, a glockenspiel is like a small xylophone, that you carry.

Bunnyboy: Marching bands use them. There also used in Supertramp's DREAMER, and FST's DWARF and BOZOS.
Dexter Fong: Depends on what you *mean* by "Bun"

Bunnyboy: What DO I mean by Bun?
cease: dreamer uses quotes?
Dexter Fong: Tubular Bells are pipe length of different material and different lengths

Bunnyboy: Tubular bells are chimes. Hollow metal rods.
Bunnyboy: Thass okay, c.
Dexter Fong: Wydd: For instance..."BONG!!!" and "Bing....."

Bunnyboy: Mit a bang, mit a boom...
Bunnyboy: ...mit a bing...

Bunnyboy: Thnnyahhh...
Dexter Fong: Cat: You all been in Lassitude??? I never met her...she always over at Hilario's
