Weekly Firesign Chat Cheese Log

A Firesign Chat
02/18/2010

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 February 18, 2010 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood escorts Firebroiled in through the front door at 6:22 AM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
Firebroiled:

Four hours later,.
.
I parked my car in the carriage house,.
and walked up the gray gravel driveway.
between a row of drawf maples, .

toward the pillared entrance.
of the Same Mansion..

It had been snowing in Santa Barbera.
ever since the top of the page,.

and I had to shake the cornstarch off my mukluks.
as I lifted the heavy, .
obsidian.
door knocker.
Firebroiled:

There was something fishy about the Butler. .

I think he was a Pisces, .

probably working for scale..

I felt a thin shiver run up my spine.
as I sat down on the cold marble floor..
What was it about this place? .

The atmosphere was as phoney as a Tudor baustrade.
that leered at me from the top of the staircase..

And there she stood! .

Radiant! .

All those curves showing through that flimsy burnoose.
||||||||| Firebroiled says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, Firebroiled exits at 6:23 AM.
||||||||| Catherwood sneaks into the room, and pipes up "Announcing 'ah,clem', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 7:52 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: 'no few minutes tonight, see ya next week'
||||||||| At 7:53 PM, ah,clem vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
||||||||| BarelyonLine Fong steps in at 8:59 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
||||||||| c's steals in around 9:00 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last night's "unpleasant incident."
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, February 18, 2010 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
BarelyonLine Fong: High Cat
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Merlyn inside, makes a note of the time (9:01 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
Merlyn: AAH! Big Font!
BarelyonLine Fong: Hey Merlyn
c's: i do my best, fong
Merlyn: the legendary BigFont of the Pacific Northwest
c's: hey merl. what happened to the footage you shot in langley?
Merlyn: it's about 2 feet away, haven't done anything with it
c's: not part of any firesign project? the lads not interested?
Merlyn: the audio would need to be synced with decent audio from there
c's: true
c's: so just for your personal collection, then
c's: how bad is the sound from your mike?
Merlyn: they're interested, I'd say, but not sure when or where
Merlyn: for now, I suppose
Merlyn: haven't checked, but not good I'd say
Merlyn: also there might not be any real footage of the ending
c's: i wanted to post the footage sam shot in the lobby on my blog but mrs. ossman wanted to watch it first and then i sent it to them and never heard back.
c's: its dated now anyway, though the brief interview with preston is interesting
Merlyn: I could ask if you don't want to ask again
c's: too bad joe's phone thing didnt record the q&a.
c's: nah
c's: it was more than sam wanted to see it but he saw it when he shot it. he's moved on to other things
c's: i'm collecting some imagery of native art stuff for austin that i want to start posting onthe web
c's: van is very much in Presentation mode at present
Merlyn: whose van?
BarelyonLine Fong: Van Couver?
c's: indeed
c's: thankfully not a toyota van
||||||||| Catherwood enters with llan close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 9:10 PM tree-stunting plans, and rushes off to the sitting room.
BarelyonLine Fong: It's a brand new Olympic Van
llan: good evening
c's: only tourists and overpaid media types say "north vancouver." those of us who live here say north van
BarelyonLine Fong: Hey llan
c's: that rhymes
c's: where is clem tonight? i gather he wasnt well last week from reading log?
llan: clem logged in about an hour ago
BarelyonLine Fong: He *wasn''t feeling all that well last week, but dunno about tonight
c's: you cant go anywhere or look out the window without seeing a canadian flag or 12
llan: I'm sure
BarelyonLine Fong: Have to keep standing up do you?
c's: worst thing about the olympics. we're suddenly nationalistic. usually we leave that to you
c's: its pleasent that the homeless multitudes have gone from asking for spare change to spare tickets
c's: we sit down when we see our flag in this country, dex
llan: you have homeless multitudes in vancouver?
Merlyn: that's a spare change
BarelyonLine Fong: lol
c's: thousands, yes llan
c's: one reason a lot of folks are upset at the vast expense of the olympics,
BarelyonLine Fong: llan:There are many homeless peoples in The Van...prolly because it's the least coldest City in the winter
c's: indeed, big city anyway. victoria is small
c's: if youre gonna be a junky somewhere, this isnt a bad place
BarelyonLine Fong: I'd vote for Key West
llan: never been to key west
c's: only half a key now
llan: I've never been further south than miami
BarelyonLine Fong: Go south young man, go south
c's: i remember a lpanet proctor where phil and melinda had pix of themselves in key west
BarelyonLine Fong: If I were a homeless person I'd ask for spare tickets to Curling...It goes on for hours and it's really boring so you can sleep
llan: I remember miami beach was very wide
c's: i meant in canada to begin with, dex, but many canucks winter in your country. if they can afford it
llan: I went swimming in mb one day in the early eighties and I swam out about two miles which got the attention of the beach patrol
c's: well said, fong, though the simpsons episode last sunday about curling was astonishing
BarelyonLine Fong: Very Nationalistic of you Cat
llan: I digress
BarelyonLine Fong: Yes, I saw it
BarelyonLine Fong: Lisa and her Olympic Pins =))
llan: would you believe I have never watched the simpsons
BarelyonLine Fong: No
BarelyonLine Fong: Perhaps you just have a bad memory
llan: I guess the idea doesn't appeal to me
||||||||| TweenThis&That enters at 9:22 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and dashes off to the Haberdashery Barn.
c's: i'd say we have a better county for the poor than yours, but that's not saying much
TweenThis&That: Lo dere
BarelyonLine Fong: Bad Memory?
BarelyonLine Fong: Low where?
c's: wearing a bunnyboy mask, tween?
BarelyonLine Fong: Cat: True, but we got more of em
TweenThis&That: Sorry, not that fond of hip hop
c's: compared to china or india, fong?
BarelyonLine Fong: Doo Wop?
llan: no, seriously. I've never watched it. it looks badly drawn and somehow uninteresting
c's: no cni tongiht?
BarelyonLine Fong: More than you, Cat Nyah Nyah
c's: i'm switching from hot to cold cidre. in search of cubes
TweenThis&That: Do wop do wop do wop?
llan: never cared for hot cider
TweenThis&That: As long as they're not Borg
BarelyonLine Fong: llan: The Simpsons is truly astonishing in it's ability for what is it 15 or more years to be always funny,m clever, topical, and referential
TweenThis&That: True, Fong
llan: didn't see you come in, tween. wilkommen
BarelyonLine Fong: I believe you have a dvd player LLan, consider renting a season...you'll thank me lat4er
TweenThis&That: Hey LL
llan: interesting idea but why wouldn't I just catch a rerun on tv?
BarelyonLine Fong: Well, since you've not previously done so, I thought I'd recommend an alternative
TweenThis&That: On-demnad is much better, and I'll bet you can get the discs from the Inter-Library Loan system
TweenThis&That: demand
||||||||| "9:28 PM? 9:28 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Elayne should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Elayne enters and sits on the couch.
Elayne: Evenin' all! Where's my half-pipe?
TweenThis&That: Hey E!
BarelyonLine Fong: Hi Elyane
c's: many simpsons episodes improve with rewatching, ala firesign
c's: as i'm sure elayne would agree
Elayne is taking a short break from Olympics-watching.
BarelyonLine Fong: E: I had to split it with The Flying Tomato
llan: Hey Elayne
Elayne: Are things crazy up there, Cat?
c's: you actually watch it, el?
TweenThis&That: They've had some nasty accidents this year
Merlyn: hi e
BarelyonLine Fong: That's the reason to watch
Elayne: Oh goodness yes, Cat. I enjoy Olympic sports, for the most part. Love seeing folks from different countries competing.
c's: full of tourists and fuckups, yes
c's: that isnt unusual here
Elayne: Hate the jingoism, but that's not entirely the athletes' fault.
TweenThis&That: The Flying Burritos tooke mine
llan: ticonderoga has plenty of tourists as well but only in the summer
c's: i walked around at the concocord place site yesterday. it was fun seeing folks in funny clohtes
c's: thats usually me
BarelyonLine Fong: Elayne: Folks from different countries competing...Olympic Wars!!
Elayne: Been watching the Olympics since at least '68, probably '64 but I don't remember that far back.
TweenThis&That: Good for the economy, I suppose
Elayne: Dex, my friend! I miss you!
c's: waited inline 45 mintues to see a 4d promo for ontariio that blew me away. like avatar without the violence
TweenThis&That: I'd rather hold an olympics than what we're doing in the middle east
BarelyonLine Fong: Hey Tween, that plane crash effect you in any way?
c's: also had great beer cheddar soup at same place and a tasty but sweet cidre at the quebec pavillion
c's: oh yes tween, yhou're inaustin. you ok?
TweenThis&That: Just heard about that on NPR this afternoon
Elayne: Exactly. As the 4or5 put it in "Pass the Indian Please," "It's better than killing people!"
BarelyonLine Fong: We don't kill em, we just don't feed them
TweenThis&That: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2010/0218/Austin-plane-crash-targeted-IRS-officials-say
llan: I've had cheddar and ale soup. it's delicious
c's: the "indian" pavillion sucked. i was hoping to film some good native art for austin but it sucked
TweenThis&That: The IRS center is only about a block away
c's: mostly an attempt to sell dresses
BarelyonLine Fong: Tween: Think the pilot can write off that plane on his taxes
TweenThis&That: Can't imagine it's the same one, or I would have heard it
Elayne: Scary shit. We have an office in Dallas, and it's just full of accountant-types.
TweenThis&That: There ya go, Fong, always thinking positively :)
Elayne: Llan, cheddar and ale does sound good. I'd just have them as is and skip the soup. :)
BarelyonLine Fong: Elayne: YOu find accountant types scary?
Elayne: Dex, I find accountant-types being in danger scary, because it probably means their admins are in danger too. :)
TweenThis&That: I'm tring to read the signs
llan: there was a vermont restaurant that used to serve it. I spent a lot of time in vermont years ago
c's: $5 for half a paper cup. worth it. warming on a day i had not worn nearly enough clothes for
BarelyonLine Fong: Elayne: The plane crashed into a building in Austin Texas maybe 3 4 or more hundred miles away...The debrie filed fell well short
llan: last year the bridge to vermont was condemned and many lives were altered in this part of the world
TweenThis&That: Yeah, that facility is on the West side of town
BarelyonLine Fong: What's gonna happen to the trolls?
llan: don't think I heard about that plane crash
llan: lol
TweenThis&That: Not the IRS center where I live
c's: how has the us media been covering vancvouer?
c's: its rare van is mentioned
TweenThis&That: Different facility
llan: well, the pillars are still there. maybe the trolls can camp out
c's: good news, tween
BarelyonLine Fong: Unceasingly
TweenThis&That: Like I said, I would have hear it ;)
BarelyonLine Fong: afkfr
c's: any news of our downtown eastside?
Elayne: Very favorably, Cat, except they haven't talked about all the things Canada does right that the US does wrong...
llan: early this month they blew up the bridge. it was eighty years old
TweenThis&That: ask Google Maps for 'woodward & parker, austin, texas'
c's: really, el?
TweenThis&That: That's where I live
c's: colbert was taping this morning, we'll all see it next week
c's: ive seena bit of nbc and cbs news but mostly they just report the sports stuff.
c's: i never liked wintrer sports before. i dont like them now.
TweenThis&That: The crash was on the far west side of town
c's: far from you, tween?
llan: I've never liked winter before so I wouldn't like winter sports
c's: exactly, llan
llan: I've tried cross country skiing. it's fun if there is nothing else to do
TweenThis&That: A Canadian who doesn't like winter sports
||||||||| ah,clem waltzes in at 9:41 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.

c's: firesonian, tween
TweenThis&That: De nada :)
TweenThis&That: Yes, it is, actually
TweenThis&That: Not an exact quote. A Dali reference, I suspect
llan: that's what I call synesthesia
c's: im reading book on brain now called On Being Certain
TweenThis&That: Do please explain that one
c's: certainly interesting.
c's: Believing You Are Right Even When You're Not
BarelyonLine Fong: Tween:synesthesia?
llan: what one?
TweenThis&That: Yeah
llan: all I'm certain of is that you can't be certain of anything
TweenThis&That: Like Saddam Hussein attacked us on 911?
BarelyonLine Fong: llan will correct me on this if I'm wrong but I think it's a condition wherein the mind confuses the source of incoming data
c's: yes tween, it explains that kind of thinking in great detail, chemical by chemical
TweenThis&That: “There's nothing an agnostic can't do if he doesn't know whether he believes in anything or not”
TweenThis&That: Word to live by
TweenThis&That: Words
BarelyonLine Fong: and ther'z nothingan atheist can't do with God's help
||||||||| Catherwood escorts ah,clem in through the front door at 9:58 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
TweenThis&That: LOL
llan: no, synesthesia is when two or more of the five senses combine
BarelyonLine Fong: Thanks llan
llan: I've never experienced it but I imagine it requires imagination
TweenThis&That: wb, clem
c's: the book explains it's chemical origins, llan
BarelyonLine Fong: I'da gott away with that you know =))
ah,clem: "in God we trust, all others pay cash"

BarelyonLine Fong: Night Merlyn
c's: yes everyone should hear them, if he has enough bandwidth, maybe not. did you ask him, merl?
Merlyn: he's actually using Taylor's hour hour edits to take all the copyrighted music out
Merlyn: he said they're upping the bandwidth, yes
c's: so its approved bythe guys then
Merlyn: I kept getting rebuffering the first week, but the second week was much better
Merlyn: I would guess so, cat.

Merlyn: I have to remember to listen, too
Merlyn: night

Merlyn: anywho, seeyas

TweenThis&That: Breathing will be banned in the lesislature
Bunnyboy: And our guv wants to tax soda, bottled water and candy.
BarelyonLine Fong: Bun: At least it's not a smoking gun
