||||||||| 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 May 27, 2010 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood leads FuxtirFongFreak inside, makes a note of the time (6:15 AM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
FuxtirFongFreak:

“It comes in,

it must go out.

” Teslacle’s Deviant to Fudd’s Law.

So, with the invention of the Motor Operated Pushover,
Man and Science
gave birth to life here,

today,
in the future!

Man,
woman,
child!

All is up against the Wall of Science!
FuxtirFongFreak:

I like the future
-- I’m in it!

Built it myself,
and I love it!

I’m not sure . . .
Personally, I’m very pleased.

No, I think it’s going to be all right.

I can dig it.

How do I like the Future?
Well, the Future’s not here yet, man!

Smaller, but cleaner.

Right on!

I say live it or live with it!

Straight ahead!

Well, I think it has quite a great future in it.

It’s electric.

Zap of electricity
FuxtirFongFreak:

What does this mean?

Well, for the straight poop,

let’s go where I go every morning.

Centrally located
and barely a strone’s throw
from the Tomb of the Unregistered Voter,
downstairs
in the historic Old Grid Building . . .

[crossfading to a new location] Hello Clive!
FuxtirFongFreak:

This is the Hornorable Chester Cadaver.

Sure, understanding today’s complex world of the Future
is a little like having bees live in your head.

But -- there they are!

And, like the young lady said . . .

I say live it, or live with it!! .
||||||||| FuxtirFongFreak departs at 6:16 AM, singing "Toad away, toad away; toad away, toad away! Where do you go when you're toad away?"
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 5:28 PM and Mudhead waltzes out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
Mudhead: Catherwood jump the wall of Science
||||||||| Catherwood steps over to Mudhead and inquires "Typing my name just to rile me, eh?"
||||||||| "Hey Mudhead!" ... Mudhead turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 5:32 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
||||||||| Catherwood escorts AmazonTweenOnThe Moon inside, makes a note of the time (5:33 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
AmazonTweenOnThe Moon: bbl

||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Merlyn in through the front door at 9:00 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, May 27, 2010 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and intones "Announcing 'Dexter Fong', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:04 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the sitting room...
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood announces: "9:04 PM and late as usual, it's c, just back from British Columbia."
c: anyone here?
Dexter Fong: Yep
c: cni happening?
Dexter Fong: Anyone there?
Merlyn: hey
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 9:06 PM and H. Stones sashays out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.

c: thanks for the news, merl. i'd rather hear it here than on facebook
||||||||| 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 Mudhead falls out at 9:11 PM.
H. Stones: Hi Mud
Mudhead: Hi friends
Dexter Fong: Hey Mudhead
c: hi mud
Mudhead: Sorry havent been around, always busy on Thursday night it seems
Merlyn: A friend of mine from Shockwave Radio died about 2 years ago, he was my age.

H. Stones: take care Mud
||||||||| Mudhead says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, Mudhead exits at 9:15 PM.

||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and snorts derisively "Announcing 'Dexter Fong', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:30 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the sitting room...
Merlyn: hmm, this is very odd

||||||||| Outside, the 9:30 PM bus from New York pulls away, leaving llanwydd coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.

Dexter Fong: end of the line

Merlyn: none of my fonts were odd sized, and I didn't get logged off, but I got a message as if I logged in
Dexter Fong: Merlyn: Like we were in parallel universes
Principalpoop: everything is fine, you all hallucinated
llanwydd: sdfghjk;l
Dexter Fong: Stones never made it back
Merlyn: the logfile shows the same odd text, same as my output was
