||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 eastern'

AbominableSnowTween: Hello Deer Person
Bambi :-)
Bambi: how's the weather in TX and across the Pond?

Hemlock Stones: ah Don Van Vliet, good to hear
Bambi: hey llan
Hemlock Stones: Hi llan
Bambi: Stones did you say how Honey was and I missed it?
Principalpoop: no crows have to the pay the same price as microbes
Dexter Fong: Stones said honey was high.....real high.........above 8000 feet
Hemlock Stones: Her health is better thanks Bambi but she is suffering the recession in isolated splendour like many of us
Principalpoop: that is 4000 people give or take a couple of amputees

Hemlock Stones: too much information Fong
Principalpoop: a postage stamp could handle that fong
Dexter Fong: You shouldn;t have paid me to wear it
Hemlock Stones: lol Poop
Dexter Fong: Poop: Aha, you wanted special delivery didn't you
AbominableSnowTween: Just having an argument with my co-pilot
Hemlock Stones: calling it special is something on an exaggeration i fear
Principalpoop: E means enough
Dexter Fong: I did something special on an exaggeration once
Principalpoop: do it again and you have to clean it up
Dexter Fong: Some said I went too far
Hemlock Stones: E is a couple of strings lower than a G string PP is that significant
c's: dex, have you been to eisenberg's sandwhich shop?

llanwydd: what did you call me?
Dexter Fong: Stones: If you do know when it's open, you can't find it
c's: the cherry lime drink and the tuna melt
AbominableSnowTween: well, after all, it's the principle of the matter
llanwydd: Oh, guacamole dip. I get it
Principalpoop: avogrado's number is the number of molecules in a mole, guacamole
llanwydd: cherry lime is an interesting idea
c's: new restaurant called Cafe Barcelona opens in van tomorrow. we'll probably go over the weekend, see how spanish it is
llanwydd: wonder why it never caught on
Dexter Fong: Tween: I'm not sure about that

Hemlock Stones: I had one of those Large Hadron cocktails in there but then collided with the floor
Principalpoop: they fry a lot of that spanish food

Hemlock Stones: alas it was not the only incident PP i was on tour
Principalpoop: around the world?
Dexter Fong: No thanks sailor
Dexter Fong: Cat: THis is the one you have high regard for isn't it?
Hemlock Stones: i am suprised by your reticense, Fong it is almost British in scale
c's: here he says "upon a land" but the play is labelled "upon The land" in the big book of plays
Dexter Fong: Shadow that is
c's: great steve miller album, dex
c's: yes this is my fave firesign piece
Principalpoop: ague?
llanwydd: don't remember upon the land. but I haven't owned the big book in many years
c's: the lads were REALLY into indians at this time and you can feel the passion in their performance as well as writing
AbominableSnowTween: Well, cease is technically a British Subject, right?
llanwydd: I had both books and that one got stolen
Hemlock Stones: I was dragged up in a Sea Port
c's: google it, poop
Principalpoop: or what?

Principalpoop: is 18 hostage or 21?
AbominableSnowTween: Yes, Stones. You wouldn't believe me if I told you...
Dexter Fong: The Dragged and The Dredged.....or...........How's Bayou

Hemlock Stones: Dont worry Tween, i am writing one of the chapters of that book

Principalpoop: is that true fong?
Hemlock Stones: Sings...... Take My Hand, I'm a strange kind of Parasite, i love that tune

Dexter Fong: Poop: I;m doing my best here...but is *WHAT* true?
Principalpoop: keep up fong, i cannot stop the flow to bring you up to date
Hemlock Stones: Hes old Poop but he's good
Dexter Fong: Poop: You say you cannot stop the flow...hmm...can you easily start the flow and do you get up often at night?
llanwydd: I knew a guy in high school. I was about to call him a friend of mine but he used to follow me around like a shadow
llanwydd: anyway, I have all kinds of funny stories about him
Dexter Fong: Ilan: He was a darkie?
Principalpoop: i had a shadow, i might still have one
c's: this is a good indication of how good the radio free oz show was
Hemlock Stones: it was an imaginary friend, llan, it really was your shadow
c's: this was when i was in high school and first year universtiy
Dexter Fong: and your echo
llanwydd: he took an elective called Parasitology because he thought he heard it called Parapsychology and he was really into that
Hemlock Stones: If your paying Poop, i will have one as well
Principalpoop: just walk on the sunny side of the street
llanwydd: he ended up not liking the course
llanwydd: I've been laughing about that for years
Dexter Fong: Catherwood, please give everyone a dark Shadow
||||||||| Catherwood gives everyone a dark shadow.

Hemlock Stones: Who has been darkening my door?
Principalpoop: is that you?
Dexter Fong: It's me, Shoe Shine Boy
c's: sounds like a good drink name, dex. have you been to pegu club?
Principalpoop: is it you again? already?
llanwydd: one time when I got really fed up with him I put a dead fish in his locker
Dexter Fong: No Cat; I don't go to any place that gets mentioned...they get so popular that nobody goes there any more
Hemlock Stones: maybe it was just resting, llan
Principalpoop: i saw that, on ahh grouchy old men
llanwydd: this was on a thursday when we had a three day weekend. I went down to a river and found a dead ten inch trout

Bumpits Yamamoto: That's 'Homicide Bummer', man
c's: therefor i should, even if i didnt then
llanwydd: I've read his books. always "smash capitalism" and never once explained his case against it
Hemlock Stones: is that better than a Genocide Bummer ?
Dexter Fong: I move it be reduced to Manslaughter Bummer, Your Honor
c's: but i had known of the digger part of that story, it adds a new dimenition to the firesign usages of the name
Principalpoop: right llan, where can the evidence be found???
llanwydd: every book is a love letter to himself
Dexter Fong: Measure twice, cut once
c's: yes he stiloe ideas from the diggers, saying it was all free. then emmet grogran burgaled his apt and he was furiious
Hemlock Stones: such personalities now proliferate on TV
Dexter Fong: Asymetry is Beauty
llanwydd: LOL. funny story, cat. I didn't know that
Principalpoop: proliferate? which channel? what time?
llanwydd: I hope grogan said "well I need it more than you do I think"

Hemlock Stones: goes back earlier than the sixties i think
Principalpoop: skip to milieu my darling
Dexter Fong: Digger? You mean sandhogs?
c's: read grogan's book Ringolevio. don't believe it but a bit is actually true
llanwydd: I can't say I know a whole lot about the diggers but I am somewhat sympathetic to their cause
Dexter Fong: Yep
c's: yes stones, certainly to the goons and dada and weirdness widely disseminated as long as thats been possible
Principalpoop: a branch of the quakers who carry shovels?
Dexter Fong: Way ahead of their time
Bumpits Yamamoto: I can Dig It
Bunnyboy: Peter Coyote is cool!
Dexter Fong: Belonged somewhere back in the 1880's
c's: original digers were kind of revolutionaries in the 17th century
Dexter Fong: With the Oneida community and Nudist Colonies
AbominableSnowTween Thinks he belongs back in the 1880's
Dexter Fong: Wait!! Nudist Colonies is okay

llanwydd: a cooperative charity
Bumpits Yamamoto: and Levelled Mountain Skis
AbominableSnowTween: A mime is a teribble things to waste
c's: id lke to see that, bun. they came to carleton when i was there in 69
c's: they were a big thing in their day
Bunnyboy: Well, actors, by definition, are liars.
Bunnyboy: Not as much as magicians...or politicians.
Dexter Fong: Stones, Weren't the Levelers the forerunners of the falt earthes
llanwydd: that's where the word "hypocrite" comes from
Principalpoop struggles against an invisible wind
Hemlock Stones: they wished to invent the mechanical digger but the Amish objected
Dexter Fong: Flat
c's: find the cspan talk by coyote, bun. amazing tale
llanwydd: so I have to admit I'm a hypocrite
Bunnyboy: I can act, and I can do some fun tech stuff...but magic is beyond my ken.
c's: i read coyote's bio from the library and it was suprisingly boring and poorly written
c's: but he can voice his worrk beautfiully

||||||||| At 10:32 PM, Bumpits Yamamoto scurries out the door saying "Hey, mister ice-cream man, I've got a nickel, wait for meeeee..."
Bambi: I would have to be listening to every word and watching every reaction on stage
c's: by bumpits
