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 July 08, 2010 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood escorts FlexicalDexsticle in through the front door at 5:05 AM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
FlexicalDexsticle:

Oh! I’m terribly sorry, .
that’s not correct! .

You didn’t “Beat The Reaper!” .
.
Doctor, bring the Patient out and show the amphitheater audience.
and all the folks at home just what he’s contracted..
.
According to my careful prosthesis,.
this man has The Plague.
FlexicalDexsticle:

Ed, .
it’s an amazing scene here..
.
Like lemmings, .
the crowds are waiting.
on the shore,.
torches blazing, .
as the long line of shrouded funeral rafts.
drift lazily into view, .
great black candles .
flickering at helm and stern..
.
The excitement is contagious,.
and so are the Black Cross Volunteers,.
as they pass from family to family, .
pausing now and agian.
to touch a child’s head. .
.
I wish I could . . ..
.
but I can’t..
.
So long, Ed [Remote transmission breaks off]
FlexicalDexsticle:

Hurry,.
.
Over here..
.
This way..
.
That’s it!.
.
You’ve made it..
.
Welcome to Side Six .
.
Follow in your books .
and repeat after me, .
as we learn our next three words in Turkish:.
.
Coffee . . . .
Delight . . . .
Border . . . .
.
May I seeeee [slowing as the power is cut] .
yooouuuurr . . ..
passspooorrtt . . . .
pleeeaaassssee . .
||||||||| FlexicalDexsticle rushes off, saying "5:06 AM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?"
||||||||| RedPillTweeny enters at 4:58 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and hurries off to the Chapeau Manger.
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 5 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| It's 5:10 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| RedPillTweeny - dead from measles
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 8:37 PM and ah,clem steps out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 eastern'
||||||||| At 8:38 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, ah,clem!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| Merlyn sashays in at 8:57 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and pipes up "Announcing 'Ubuntween', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 8:58 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...
Merlyn: hey tween
Ubuntween: Evenin'
Ubuntween: Trying out chat from Ubuntu
Ubuntween: Mongo like Ubuntu
Merlyn: how does Tor feel?
||||||||| Catherwood walks up and snorts derisively "Presenting 'Dexter Fong', just granted probation at 9:00 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, July 08, 2010 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
Merlyn: hey fong
Ubuntween: Evening, Dexter
||||||||| 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 Land Squid falls out at 9:01 PM.
Land Squid: good evening
Dexter Fong: Hi Merlyn
Dexter Fong: I see Firebroiled has left me a very large but insignificant msg
Ubuntween: Hey Squid
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in and pipes up "Presenting 'cease', just granted probation at 9:02 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
Land Squid: hey cat
Merlyn: hey cat & squid
Ubuntween: Yo cease
Land Squid: and everybody else
Dexter Fong: Hi Tween and Cat
cease: greetings
Dexter Fong: And welcome Squid
Land Squid: we're early this time
||||||||| ah,clem steals in around 9:04 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last week's "unpleasant incident."
Dexter Fong: Hi clem

Land Squid: I like the heat. I don't get enough of it the rest of the year
Ubuntween: A lady in Ontario was saying that they were baking, cease
cease: ontario has real summer. it's more of a novelty season here
Land Squid: baked ontario
Dexter Fong: A baker in Quebec said he was a lady
Land Squid: LOL dex
Merlyn: du barry was a lady, I think
Merlyn: i Hope
Dexter Fong: A mademoiselle to be exact
Land Squid: at least I have cold places to go swimming
Land Squid: that's one great thing about lake george and lake champlain
Land Squid: I couldn't possibly champlain
Dexter Fong: Squid, Nino has you placed in Kentucky...could Nino be wrong? Again??
cease: i'd rather cease baking than cease being baked
Land Squid: he always is, dex
ah,clem: Nino is never wrong, just creative
Land Squid: lol
Merlyn: Nino is PREDICTING!
Land Squid: I've never been in kentucky
Merlyn: Mark Twain said if the world was coming to an end, he'd go to Kentucky, because they're 20 years behind everybody
Land Squid: that and alabama are the only southern states I have not visited
ah,clem: you will be
cease: all i know of kentucky is from hunter thompson bios
Land Squid: I'm finally going to be on tv next week
Land Squid: Turmoil and Triumph will be shown in 3 parts. I am in the first and third
ah,clem: we went through Kentucky, and ended up in a dry county, thought that odd for a state known for bourbon
Land Squid: starts monday night. If you watch it, don't blink
Dexter Fong: What NETWORK llan?
Land Squid: interesting, clem. I've heard of people being arrested just for being drunk in public in KY
Land Squid: PBS, Dex
Dexter Fong: Ooh..PBS Posh indeed
Land Squid: I appear in three roles, an iranian weapons smuggler, a russian interpreter and Yassir Arafat
ah,clem: homeland security is watching you
Merlyn: are you in any of these clips llan? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U5yTHnBFGE
Land Squid: many famous people were interviewed in the film, most of them former secretaries of state
Land Squid: I can't do youtube with msntv2, I'm afraid, Merl
Land Squid: but all those famous people are going to see me on tv
Land Squid: with the exception of ted kennedy
Merlyn: ok llan
Land Squid: but I have probably watched those clips elsewhere
Land Squid: if you see one of some shady characters loading boxes onto an airplane, I am one of them
Merlyn: hmm, looks like that trailer has mostly the real talking heads, not much re-creation
Land Squid: interesting that tween hasn't spoken in all this time and still hasn't gone grey
Land Squid: oh, now he is. spoke too soon
Land Squid: so, where are bambi and elayne and princi and stones and bubba and bunnyboy....
ah,clem: Bambi here, watching a movie
ah,clem: as to the rest I don't know
Land Squid: aha, please tell her I said hi
ah,clem: ok
Merlyn: turning gray is based on how many lines ago you spoke, not time
ah,clem: had noticed that, as you grey faster in busy room
||||||||| 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 Elayne falls out at 9:25 PM.
Elayne: Evenin' all!
ah,clem: there she is
Dexter Fong: hi e
ah,clem: hi E!
Elayne: Sorry I'm a bit late, had to fill out my Previews comic book order form, as I'm going to the shop tomorrow.
Land Squid: Hi Elayne
Elayne: Evenin' Land Squid! Are you new or just a new pseudonym for an old regular?
Elayne never did get the hang of pseudonyms.
ah,clem: ll
cease: hi el
Elayne: Hey Cat, Dex, Jimmy, Brian!
Dexter Fong: E: Squid is llanfyll er uh llanwydd
Land Squid: yes, elayne. my name usually starts with 2 Ls
Merlyn: hey E
Merlyn: E, you follow fullmetal alchemist by any chance?
Elayne would use Dex's non-pseudonym too but she knows he prefers Dex in-chat.
Elayne: Ah, okay, so it's Llan.
||||||||| Catherwood leads Bambi into the room, accepts a $3 bill as a gratuity, mutters something about 9:27 PM, then departs.
Elayne: Brian, I've never HEARD of Full Metal Alchemist, I'm afraid.
Bambi: hello Dear Friends :-)
Elayne: Evenin' Fran!
Land Squid: Hi Bambi
cease: i want to plug my blog, which y'all know is at www.seemrealland.blogspot.com
Merlyn: you're in comics and you've never heard of it?
Dexter Fong: Elayne: I really don't care 'cept in real life situations where I *do* prefer me given moncker
Ubuntween: Hello Elayne. Hear the East Coast is a tad warm...
Elayne: Any particular reason, Cat?
cease: posted a vid of my cats and dog to the tune of round round world
ah,clem: want me to patch you in Bambi, or are you still watching a movie?
Elayne: I'll give you a monicker next time I see you, Dex. Provided you have a paperback for me, as previously discussed. :)
cease: you can tell me if you hear freberg say "itralian friends"
Elayne: Good lord, Tween, is it ever! Actually, the worst of it seems to have broken earlier today; I could actually breathe when I got out of the office this afternoon.
Dexter Fong: E: I finally got first volume back so soon
cease: our dog won't be chasing any more tennis balls. it was hard for him when i shot the vid about 3 monthes ago
Bambi: patch me Clem :-)
Dexter Fong: Clem doesn't have a patch on Bambi
Bambi: lol
Elayne: Cat, it sounds like he sings "Itralian" (probably a flub that they decided not to do a re-take on), but you should really ask Mark Evanier, he's the expert on all things Freberg (as he's friends with the man).
ah,clem: ok, patched
Elayne: Sounds great, Dex!@
cease: i'll do that, el
Ubuntween: She was leaking?
Elayne: He's at me@evanier.com, you can tell him I sent you.
Dexter Fong: "Itralian" is a common comedic expression
cease: i gave the dvd to ed bullington who also knows freberg, but havent heard back from him
Elayne: Mark knows everyone (including Proctor, with whom he works occasionally).
Dexter Fong: Like Prolish
Bambi: how's everyone doing this evening?
Elayne: Fran, I'm thanking Grid for my air conditioning.
Dexter Fong: Still kinda hot in NYC
Merlyn: that's like 6 billion people Bambi, how long can my answer be?
Elayne: At least at the moment, the Grid is still on the job here in Da Bronx.
Bambi: Heard that Elayne!
Bambi: LOL Merl
Elayne: Brian, Robin has a question tonight. Is there an intro-outro for Hour Hour #4 the way there was for #3? He just finished recording #4 for me.
Dexter Fong: Do you take the Wheatstone Bridge to get to your house Elayne?
ah,clem: it does not have the capacity
Elayne: I have my nose to the Wheatstone, when it's not in the Wheaties, Dex. But no, that's a bridge too far, wherever it is.
cease: they seemed to start each show differently, el
Dexter Fong: Thank you Colonel Bogie
Elayne: Usually the expresso bus takes either the RFK Bridge to the Deegan, or winds through the city a bit and takes the Harlem River Drive.
Land Squid: wheatstone, lol
Dexter Fong: What the hell is the RFK bridge
Land Squid: I remember fred feldman saying all those name on wor
Dexter Fong: These assholes in the city keep changing the names of streets
Elayne: Ah, poor poor Dex! It's what you Very Old People call the Triborough.
Land Squid: I grew up with wor
Dexter Fong: It was good enough for Irving washinton...or is it washington Irbving
Land Squid: then later it was george mead
Elayne: I think we pass the Irving Washington houses on the way to the Harlem River Drive.
Dexter Fong: Then it was Meade Lux LEWIS
cease: margaret or lake?
Elayne: Either that or Irving Washington keeps crossing the street against the light as the bus bears down on himj.
Bambi: The Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) Bridge, better known as the Triborough or Triboro Bridge, is a complex of three separate bridges in New York City, United States.
Ubuntween: Beat me to it, cease :)
Dexter Fong: Magrait or veronica
Bambi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy_Bridge
Elayne: Oh, Dex knows from the Triborough, Fran. He just doesn't remember after they changed the water.
Ubuntween: lol E
Bambi: LOL ah, ok
Land Squid: for those who don't know what I'm talking about and/or have forgotten, it was fred feldman who flew over NYC in a helicopter and gave a live traffic report on WOR
Dexter Fong: It all started with the changing of the Interborough to the Jackie Robinson xpressway
Elayne: I'm surprised, there was actually quite the to-do because a lot of folks didn't like how much money NYC spent on the new signs.
Land Squid: then he retired apparently and george mead did the report
cease: i thought it was a lord of the rings character
ah,clem: should just call it Bobby's bridge
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood pipes up: "9:38 PM and late as usual, it's Fred Plegm, just back from Boston."
Elayne: I once found myself on the Jackie Robinson Expressway and felt totally lost. But in truth I would have felt equally lost on the Interborough.
Dexter Fong: I've got Bobby's bridge in a glass of water near my bed
Land Squid: good evening plegm
ah,clem: lol
Elayne: Evenin', Phlegm!
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in and pipes up "Presenting 'Woody 1', just granted probation at 9:39 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
Merlyn: theatrical entrance
Fred Plegm: good evening all
Elayne: Evenin', Woody! Wow, lots of new names here tonight.
Land Squid: Hey Woody
Dexter Fong: Come on in Fred, and close the curtain

Dexter Fong: Don't forget Vin Diesel

Dexter Fong: Baxter NAPHTHA
Woody 1: Anybody make it to the Firesign shows?
Land Squid: it was too far to drive, woody
cease: which ones?
Dexter Fong: Alas not me...They never come down from the hills, those guys
Fred Plegm: They've all been on west coast, haven't they? Wanted to go to the halloween shows in Burbank, but it wasn't to be.
Elayne: White ravens, Cat? I thought it was a penguin. Which reminds me: BURMA!... sorry, I panicked.
cease: merl and i saw them in langley, washington in january
Woody 1: any of them. i think they only had a few on CA
Fred Plegm: was fortunate to see them at Carnegie Hall in the mid-seventies.
Land Squid: have you seen a firesign/nick danger clip called Frame Me Pretty? I saw it on youtube. its hilarious
Woody 1: Were they awesome, cease?
Dexter Fong: CA? Caw
Dexter Fong: Cawsome
cease: i'm waiting for more news, now just sports
Land Squid: I saw it live already but it was great to see it again. I've watched it several times at the public library. I can't watch youtube here
Dexter Fong: Cat: Where's Lebron goin?
Elayne: Oh, I love that Evening at the Improv bit, Llan. I'm glad someone uploaded it to YouTube.
Merlyn: looks good llan, I'll make sure Taylor knows about it
Merlyn: it starts at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5qFN0ImjoU
Land Squid: taylor who?
Dexter Fong: Lord & taylor
Dexter Fong: How long is it?
Dexter Fong: (no naughty jokes)
Land Squid: my tailor wouldn't care
Dexter Fong: The clip that is
Woody 1: Cease? Was Washington great?
Merlyn: taylor jessen, the FT archivist
Land Squid: aha
Dexter Fong: oho
cease: it was. they were hilarious
Merlyn: trying to get all FT material anywhere
Land Squid: there's a part where proctor is doing sound effects by hitting a cabbage with a stick
Fred Plegm: Anyone use Realplayer? you can use the free version to download youtube videos in .flv format.
Woody 1: I envy you. Wonderful.
Land Squid: the cabbage rolls into where the audience are sitting and somebody picks it up and puts it on their table
Dexter Fong: He vas makink sauerkraut
Bambi: hi Fred
cease: that's good to know, fred
Dexter Fong: Halfway, not neccessarily
Fred Plegm: (been collecting the videos myself, including Martian Space Party.)
Ubuntween: ...
Land Squid: I haven't seen MSP yet
Dexter Fong: Tween: FAKE THE BUNT AND SLAP IT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
Dexter Fong: sorry
Fred Plegm: The quality's a little ruff, but viewable.
Elayne: Honestly Dex, sometimes you get way too excitable about sports.
Woody 1: That's a good one. Remember that opened for Magical Mystery Tour at an old theatre in Indiana.
Dexter Fong: I saw it in the theater (Beacon I think)
Elayne: Which reminds me: Spain or the Netherlands? Ordinarily my love for certain things Dutch would have me rooting for the orange, but I don't much like these players, I think they're kind of rude.
ah,clem: tell it to the X-Mas bunny, kid
Woody 1: Have it on VHS.
Dexter Fong: Elayne; WHO'S ESSCITED MAN?
cease: i bought a copy from laugh.com or whatever firesign site seller is called now
cease: maybe lodestone
Land Squid: I have an awful lot on vhs that I may never watch again
Dexter Fong: llan: Get it transferred to digital
Dexter Fong: before the tapes disintegrate
cease: i think the funniest thing the firesign ever did was an interview in ann arbor, and that was just proctor and bergman
Land Squid: well, none of what I have is important enough to transfer
Dexter Fong: It's all *important*
Dexter Fong: They ain't makin' it anymore
Elayne: Too much new stuff in the world to rewatch old stuff...
Dexter Fong: Bah
Woody 1: I will. Believe me. Don't want to leave anything on VHS to deteriorate.
Dexter Fong: The old stuff is good, the new stuff is all technical and dangerous and sucks
||||||||| Eythyl tiptoes in around 9:53 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last week's "unpleasant incident."
Land Squid: I taped so much stuff off tcm its hard to get rid of it all. I was obsessive
Eythyl: HOla
Land Squid: Ethyl! How's Regular?
cease: rare genetic defect leads to white ravens
Fred Plegm: I know the "official" site is looking for any and all bootlegs, hoping to find some gems among the detritus.
Dexter Fong: Ah Ethyl, regular as colckwork
Elayne: Evenin' Ethyl!

Land Squid: white symbolizes winter in the subconcious
Land Squid: or however you spell it
ah,clem: lol ll
Eythyl: hey Dex would have been here earlier but i had the sleeping sickness
Merlyn: white is death in japan
Dexter Fong: LLan: YOu mean when people have a near death, they're only seeing a blurry winter?
Elayne: Woody, I thought we were on the RFK Bridge (to nowhere).
Dexter Fong: tse tse
Dexter Fong: ryder
Land Squid: not necessarily, dex
Eythyl: flies
Dexter Fong: Better than the blue screen of death which symbolizes problems
cease: no, black is death in japan. take it from the ishikawas, merl
||||||||| Outside, the 9:58 PM uptown bus from Seattle pulls away, leaving Bunnyboy coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Bunnyboy: Whew!
cease: hi bun
Land Squid: Hey Bunnyboy
Bunnyboy fans hisself.
Dexter Fong: Hi Bunny
Eythyl: wow dex you make mitch ryder n the detroit wheels appear in my grey matter

||||||||| At 10:00 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Woody 1!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
Land Squid: I'm sorry for woody hating his work
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Dexter Fong: Yankers

Fred Plegm: (..... for a well-aged servant, he's pretty fast. :-) )
Eythyl: yeah talking about money offends Catherwppd

Eythyl: nowhere they live in new mexico now
Ubuntween: They've been rejuvinated

Bunnyboy: But the last Foley shows were in 1994 or so.
||||||||| Catherwood escorts H. Stones into the room, accepts an I.O.U. as a gratuity, mutters something about 10:09 PM, then departs.
