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 December 17, 2009 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Firebroiled-Hearthcare waltzes in at 8:01 AM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
Firebroiled-Hearthcare: 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-Hearthcare:

Now, please, everyone lock your wigs
, let the air out of your shoes
and prepare yourselves for a period of simulated exhilaration.

Everybody ready? Let’s get in “sync” for our Flight to the Future!

We’re docked and open.
Be sure to inflate shoes before crossing the water.

Remember, the Rubber Lines are for your convenience and protection.

Thank you . . .
Firebroiled-Hearthcare:

b>

But I’d like to recommend WALL OF SCIENCE,

‘cause it’s my favorite!

Jest climb aboard that old YELLOW rubber line.

Well thankya, Partner.

See ya on the Funway!

Yippee! Tie one on!

So long . . ..
||||||||| "Hey Firebroiled-Hearthcare!" ... Firebroiled-Hearthcare turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 8:03 AM, I don't have to go yet!"...
||||||||| 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 RedPillTweeny gets out at 8:10 AM.

||||||||| Catherwood stomps in at 10:12 PM, dragging Dave & Katie by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this yahoo?"
ah,clem: if pigs could fly
Principalpoop: hi katie, and dave too
c's: bergman takes himself WAY too seriously.
Dave & Katie: good evening friends, there's no drunken drivers up here
Elayne: Cat, you're not supposed to get both shots at once, from what I understand. They should be spaced about a month apart. Now I've had both.
wake: somebody just made that up... "chooching" indeed
Elayne: Hello Dave!
llanwydd: Hey D&K
Dexter Fong: KPFK, fund raising show, Austin felt Bergman was trivializing the fund rasing
Merlyn: hey dave
Elayne: Wake, I'm inclined to agree.
c's: hey my 2nd favourite dog, and her pet human
ah,clem: good evening Dave, great to chat with you
Donk: artist can be tempromental
Elayne: But you know, there are more things in heaven & earth than are dreamt up in our philosophy, after all. Maybe chooching is one of them.
Elayne: WIth great, great apologies to Willie the Shake...
Donk: hey dave, and kate
wake: gotta go... BUYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEeeeeeeeee
Dexter Fong: Hi Dave, and a special science diet greeting to Katie
||||||||| At 10:13 PM, wake vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!

c's: hey dave, got great firesign news. there is going to be some of their old shows played online,
Elayne: Dex, I think I meant "die." We die every night, you know, but it's only le petit mort...
||||||||| At 10:16 PM, Elayne hurries out the door saying "Hey, mister ice-cream man, I've got a nickel, wait for meeeee..."
Principalpoop: ciao E
Dave & Katie: Joni's song to a seagull record from 68 is one of my favorites, would like to get it on vinyl if I can somewhere
