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 09, 2010 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| 8:36 PM: ah,clem jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past half hour!"
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: '"a few minutes with FireSign Theatre" at about 9 eastern'
||||||||| "8:37 PM? I'm late!" exclaims ah,clem, who then hurries out through the french doors and down through the brambles.
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, December 09, 2010 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!" -- then he looks around at the empty room, looks at his watch, and mumbles "...am I early?"
||||||||| Catherwood enters with MoreTweenLessFilling close behind, grumbles something about disrupting his 9:01 PM tree-stunting plans, and rushes off to the anteroom.
||||||||| 9:01 PM: cease jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past half hour!"
||||||||| Catherwood escorts Bambi in through the front door at 9:02 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
Bambi: Hello Dear Friends :-)
MoreTweenLessFilling: hewwo
Bambi: looks like we are right on time :-)
cease: hi masses
cease: as opposed to left on space
MoreTweenLessFilling: Who you callin' fat?
Bambi: I only have one space bar ;-)
cease: i like being spaced and in a bar. does that count?
MoreTweenLessFilling: lol
cease: tween: santa claus
Bambi: lol
cease: i'm funny and i have yet to partake of my favourite intoxicants.
cease: not for long
||||||||| "9:06 PM? 9:06 PM!!" says Catherwood, "ah,clem should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as ah,clem enters and sits on the couch.
Bambi: Catherwood please pour everyone their favorite lovely beverage
||||||||| Catherwood gives everyone their favorite lovely beverage.
ah,clem: ah
ah,clem: this drink my be drugged...
Bambi: Catherwood please pour me a toasted almond
||||||||| Catherwood hands Bambi a toasted almond.
MoreTweenLessFilling: Hola, Mr. Clem
ah,clem: ah, yes, it is
ah,clem: hola
cease: no clem, recorded in 67, released in 68
ah,clem: I sit corrected
cease: when you said the begining, i thought you got a copy of the 1966 first appearance of the firesigns, as the oz film festival
cease: i dont even know if there is a recording of that.
Bambi: na, albums
Bambi: nah even
cease: and the mushroom shows remain unreleased, except for the pink hotel pieces
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and intones "Presenting 'Dexter Fong', just granted probation at 9:10 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
cease: and speaking of mushrooms....
ah,clem: na na nah nah, hey hey
MoreTweenLessFilling: That would make such a great boxed set (mushrooms)
MoreTweenLessFilling: Hey Dex
Dexter Fong: Ev'nin' 'olk'
cease: well there is a new box set coming out momentarily, the hour hour, df and lets eat shows
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 9:11 PM and Hemlock Scones bounds out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
cease: i've helped out taylor with some of the mushrooms he didnt have and i did, but one i used to have and he cant get is called Last Exit to Fresno
Dexter Fong: Scones, you old bounder
cease: hey stones, your computer still works!
Hemlock Scones: only just Cease, its sending out bots in every direction
MoreTweenLessFilling: Hello Scones
cease: i hope you're not infecting us right now
cease: i spoke with stones on skype this morning. sounded perilous
Dexter Fong: I seem to have picked up a virus..my icons are multiplying
Hemlock Scones: if anyone gets an email from me which reads, brianjackson and has no subject, please delete it immediately, we seem to have become embroiled in wikileaks cyber war
cease: how is retirement treating you, dex?
cease: noticed any difference?
ah,clem: yes, we noticed, Brian
Dexter Fong: Not yet really,
ah,clem: at least the pay is steady, Dex
Dexter Fong: Hope so clem
cease: not necessarily, clem
Hemlock Scones: the purpose of most of these bots is simply to keep everyone busy so they cannot get on with the serious business of giving the excesses of capitalism a good shagging
Dexter Fong: Don't put the hexy voodoo on me Cat
cease: well, you know why i visited you this year instead of last year
Dexter Fong: Yes =)
cease: but you're in a much healthier economy.
cease: i think
Dexter Fong: Lord no, Cat........City and State both in big deficits
Hemlock Scones: just reading about the Bomb House in San Diego
Dexter Fong: They even cut the budget for the future unwed mothers who are still daughters
cease: as long as they dont effect your pension, dex. i have to worry about my mother getting paid by the state of california
||||||||| "9:18 PM? 9:18 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Merlyn should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Merlyn enters and sits in front of the fireplace.
Merlyn: Here I are
Dexter Fong: Hey Merlyn
Hemlock Scones: Hi Merl
cease: i thought you were in minnisota
Bambi: Hey Dex, Scones, Merlyn
cease: mushroom soup indeed
Merlyn: I are, and Nino agrees
Dexter Fong: Hi Mizz Bambi (aw shucks, she mentioned me first)
Bambi smiles
cease: any firesign news, merl?
cease: i announced the new bo set but that's just cuz i seem to be one of the few on firesign chat who listen to rfo
Bambi: awesome! Nino says I am from parts unknown. my favorite place
Bambi: next to australia that is
cease: i see charles and camilla being attcked in the uk
Dexter Fong thinks he'd like to have *his* parts known
cease: they may wish to go to australia to get away from angry students
Dexter Fong: Dress up as Kangaroos
Dexter Fong: the grade school kids can be joeys
ah,clem: and get deported?
MoreTweenLessFilling: When does RFO broadcast, cease?
cease: http://www.radiofreeoz.com/
MoreTweenLessFilling: merci
cease: a new show is posted late at night or early mornings usually 3 or 4 days a week
cease: mostly bergman and ossman, occasion stuff from the phils
MoreTweenLessFilling: So all podcasts now, no live shows?
||||||||| 9:29 PM: Elayne jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past five minutes!"
Elayne: Evenin' all!
MoreTweenLessFilling: Hey E
Elayne: Goshamighty, it's cold!
cease: hi el
Bambi: Hey Elayne!
Dexter Fong: Don't cruch that pod cast, people are in there broadcasting
Dexter Fong: Hi Elayne
MoreTweenLessFilling: and not officially winter yet
Dexter Fong: How's the reading program going, Elayne
Elayne: Dex, it was lovely seeing you on Tuesday. Wasn't that a balmy day compared to today?
Bambi: yes, it is! even in parts unknown (see Nino for ref) it's freezing cold for this area
Hemlock Scones: we have had the lowest temperatures in the UK since records began
MoreTweenLessFilling: Was down to 27 last night in Austin, which is ridiculous for us
Elayne: Well, I'm getting bus sick when I try to play games on my new smartphone during my commute, so I doubt reading will be any more successful.
cease: how is phone, el? can you listen to podcasts on it?
MoreTweenLessFilling: Good Grid, Scones
cease: i havent decided whether to buy one or not
Dexter Fong: Scones< You mean back in the little ice age when your were still little?
Bambi: 21F and it's not even 10PM EST
MoreTweenLessFilling: Nippy for the South, Bambi
cease: did i miss the first word in turkish?
Elayne: Cat, I uploaded your radio play thingie that Doc sent me via email, and it plays just fine on the smartphone. Haven't finished listening yet.
Bambi: oh, that's nothing Tween ... last two nights were about 17F
Bambi: they said it was supposed to be 21F tonight .... have a feeling that's not gonna be the low LOL
cease: unless you knew the rfo pieces that were being parodied, i dont know if you'd find it amusing. i cant post it publicly cuz it's not my materia
Elayne: Ah, I see. Well, I got that it was a parody of something.
Hemlock Scones: only a couple of nights back it was minus 5 fahrenheit, all my pipes froze up and turds volcanoed out of my bath plug,
Elayne: Wow, Stones, not fun at all.
cease: early in rfo's history, bergman asked for people to submit content. i thought that was what he wanted. but being bergman, i dont expect to hear back from him
Bambi: ouch! that's rough Stones
Hemlock Scones: strangely comical despite the inconvenience
Dexter Fong: My Thundermug was well and truly iced over
cease: ossman told it was "weirdly cool" but i suspect that's not an original line
Elayne: From what I know of Bergman, Cat, he may have wanted original content rather than parodic.
Elayne: Something more like Red Shift.
Dexter Fong: When I sat on it, it froze to my rear end, I had to call in Raul to throw hot water on the problem
cease: considering how much the lads parody themselves, that may be true
cease: but i really dont want to discuss american politics, which is most of what rfo is about. i'd rather discuss food and interesting stuff
cease: speaking of food, interesting article about april bloomfield in recent new yorker
Elayne: He never understood why I published a newsletter dedicated to them while I could just as easily have published my own stuff. I told him "that's what INSIDE JOKE is for."
Dexter Fong: Thundermugs, lad, now *there's* a discussion
cease: called the queen of burgers. i almost miss not ordering one.
Elayne: Everyone at the restaurant seemed to be going for the burgers and fries, didn't they?
cease: indeed. ours was a rare burgerless table
cease: they sound good in the article, but i was delighted with my cheese tarte thingie
Elayne: I had a pretty good burger with Dex the other day. But I preferred the hot dog.
Elayne: A mighty hot dog was our lunch.
cease: ive never had taragon that tasted like lettuce before, but it worked
Dexter Fong: Yes Mistress!~
Elayne: Was that a Dr. Who ref, Dex? I love K-9...
cease: i dont miss stress, i'm relatively stress free
Elayne: Rob and I just finished watching the latest season of Sarah Jane Adventures, and dear old K-9 is still going around saying "Yes Mistress..."
Dexter Fong: E: It was a FS catchphrase that first surfaced in one of the Hour Hour shows and persisted for some time
Hemlock Scones: http://australianetworknews.com/stories/201012/3089859.htm?desktop
Elayne: Was it? I had no idea.
Dexter Fong: No Mistress!]
cease: it was a parlour game from the victorian era
Dexter Fong: Yes Mister
cease: called the finger game
Dexter Fong: Don' point your finger at me, daddio, I cut it off
Elayne: So maybe that's where Dr. Who got it as well...
Dexter Fong: As well as what?
cease: "yes mistress" is something the english have been saying for quite a while, el
Dexter Fong: along with "who's yourmistress and what's her address"
Elayne: Well, I know that, Cat, but as a referency-type expression, you know...
cease: yeah austin really gets into it, describing the game. and the yes mistress line echoed for a couple of years of thier radio work
Elayne: When Thatcher was in power, I believe it was "Yes, Ministress."
ah,clem: "yes mistress"
Elayne: Or "Your Monstrousness," either one.
Dexter Fong: Referency=type designed by Fingerspoint, LLC
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 9:43 PM and the Fool on the Hill steps out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
Elayne: Evenin', FoolHill!
cease: the hill is complete. we have a fool
Dexter Fong: Hey FoH
Dexter Fong: T
Dexter Fong: anayone?
Dexter Fong: Imported, y'know
Elayne: Just roll a couple of WWII bombers and drop them on the side table.
the Fool on the Hill: [aak! I keep trying to alt-resize windows; but it doesn't work in GNOME]
Elayne: It'll blow up real good.
Dexter Fong: Shipped hear on the backs of kangaroos and Joeys
Elayne: Gnome? What's Gnome?
cease: about an enola mcluhan?
Elayne: Our Gnome, in the middle of our street....
the Fool on the Hill: window manager
Dexter Fong: I don't know Elayne, lemme askher
Hemlock Scones: no place like gnome
Elayne: Well, defenestrate it!
cease: the medium is the massage, in megatons
the Fool on the Hill: catherwood, defenestrate GNOME
||||||||| Catherwood rushes up to the Fool on the Hill and mumbles "Do you have something for me to do?"
Dexter Fong: This Xmas I'm putting one of the Itralian Fragilee Lamps in the window
Hemlock Scones: i couldnt agree more Bambi
Elayne: That'll defenestrate if anything will, Dex!
Dexter Fong: That's what the city enginner said after they bull dozed the margins of the wetlands, De Fen is straight
cease: the defenestration of the plague?
Elayne: Say, I haven't blogged today yet. Anyone have a Silly Site suggestion?
Dexter Fong: $7th and Ninth
Dexter Fong: 47 that is
the Fool on the Hill chants like a Dalek, "Defenestrate! Defenestrate! DE-FEN-ES-TRATE!"
cease: i discovered a young woman comedien/blogger sort named linday kyte
cease: i found her youtube videos quite amusing but not necessarily silly.
Bambi: hey FoH
Elayne is very psyched for the Dr. Who Christmas special, and hopes there will be defenestration and Daleks therein.
||||||||| Catherwood walks up and snorts derisively "Presenting 'doctecazoid', just granted probation at 9:49 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
the Fool on the Hill doesn't like the new SUV Daleks
Elayne: At this point, Cat, I think a YouTube needs to be either Taiwanese animation or the Muppets for me to tout it as a Silly Site. ;)
Dexter Fong: Elayne, really! nobody is on Dialak any more
Elayne: Evenin' Doc!@
Bambi: Hey Doc!
Dexter Fong: Hey Doc
Bambi: best to Lili too!
cease: lindsay kyte. her tale about her dad talking about being a little girl was both silly and profound
doctecazoid: hey gang
the Fool on the Hill: not that i was ever wild about the Daleks to begin with
cease: hey doc
Merlyn: hi doc
doctecazoid: dex: otb rip?
cease: oh this is the bonus firesign thing from electrician
cease: i dont have this, for some reason
the Fool on the Hill: never found them very believable
Dexter Fong: Doc: Yes but I'm ret
Dexter Fong: My last day was their last day
doctecazoid: bambi: thanks - lili is crashed out on the couch, i'll pass along your good wishes and regards
Dexter Fong: Ironic possibly
Bambi: thanks Doc!
cease: all our best to lilil
Dexter Fong: akfr
doctecazoid: dex: talk about timing!
doctecazoid: thanx cease
doctecazoid: and all
cease: how are her online classes coming?
Bambi waves! Hey Clem!
Merlyn: I hope everyone here is on the firesign email list, there should be a fairly important announcement soon
cease: about the box set, merl?
doctecazoid: cease: well, i'd say: lukewarm
cease: better than cold
Merlyn: use the warm, luke
Elayne: Okay, do you think Bacon Or Beer Can qualifies as a Silly Site? http://www.baconorbeercan.com/
doctecazoid: fool on hill: it's science friction, believability is always in the eyes of the beholder
MoreTweenLessFilling: ...
cease: keep that cool hand to yourself
Elayne: Yes, sadly I think I'm going to go with that. Be right back; blogging.
cease: moderately amusing, el
doctecazoid: i can vouch for merl, keep your ears to the ground and your eyes in your sockets - the term 'box set' really doesn't do justice
cease: there's been a lot of talk of it on facebook. various artists arguing over the front cover.
cease: more than i wanted to know, actually.
doctecazoid: more like a dodecahedron set
cease: i hope there's enough of an audience left to pay for it's production.
cease: that wasn't the impression i got about box of danger
doctecazoid: cease: oh, i'm willing to bet there are
doctecazoid: this is gonna make box of danger look like box of mild annoyances
cease: i dont bet, but i would think there would be if said audience could be found
Dexter Fong: Maybe FS could get an audience with the pope
Dexter Fong: He could open for them
doctecazoid: if we build it, they will come
Bambi: box of danger a box of mild annoyances?! never! love box of danger!
Dexter Fong: Them's the spirits
doctecazoid: bambi: well if you live box of danger all i can say is: gird your grid for what's to come
doctecazoid: like not live
Merlyn: Hey Elayne, did you ever have http://katawa-shoujo.com as your site of the week or whatever?
Bambi: awesome doc! can't wait
cease: when he finally dies, local author wp kinsella will be remembered that line, doc. from his short story shoeless joe, which became that flick
cease: so how was austin's party, merl?
doctecazoid: bambi: thanks for your patience, a few eyes to cross and tees to dot before the unveiling
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Merlyn: wp sinsemilla
Merlyn: ?
Elayne: No Brian, what's silly about it?
doctecazoid: cease: didn't know that, thanks!!!!!
Bambi: no worries doc ... it will get here and when it does, we will all enjoy it
Merlyn: lots of fun, cat
Hemlock Scones: hope you can give Honey a warm welcome
cease: alternates between baseball and first nations stories. i think originally from iowa
cease: were all the guys there?
Merlyn: I learned that Phil A. is a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist -- I showed him my FMA pocketwatch
cease: i dont know what that is
Bambi: so will the 'island' be seceeding soon? lol
Dexter Fong: Scones, I'll just set this bomber ablaze
Merlyn: Elayne, Katawa Shoujo is a (not yet finished) visual novel about dating crippled girls
doctecazoid: hemlock: i have a lighter and a pile of newspapers, is that warm enough?
Hemlock Scones: be carefull with those low flying bombers Dex you can start a forest fire that way
doctecazoid: only you can prevent smky the bear
Dexter Fong: Don't light that newspaper, hand me The Nation
doctecazoid: smoky
Merlyn: and it's all free
Hemlock Scones: just a dollar Merl
Dexter Fong: sirky
||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and announces "Announcing 'Honeynut Groats', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 10:03 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the vestibule...
doctecazoid: don't hand me the nation, hand me the wikileaks
Elayne: Yes, I just clicked through it, Brian. It's more a BoingBoing kinda thing than a Silly Site per se. You should submit it to BoingBoing.
Dexter Fong: smirky
cease: there is a beautifuyl story about smokey the bear as envisioned by gary snyder the firesign perform on a coupld of their hour hour show
Bambi: Hey Honey!
Hemlock Scones: Gives Honey a huge Hug
cease: hi honey.
Elayne: Evenin' Honey!
doctecazoid: want a snort?
Honeynut Groats: ok well i am here but firefox is preventing this page from automatically reloading so virtually i am not here
Elayne: Not bad, three double-x chromosomes among 11 chatters...
Dexter Fong: Hey Honey
Elayne: Okay, two and a half.
Merlyn: hey honey
doctecazoid: honk honk why it's ,,, oops sorry, wrong chat
Elayne: Soon to be one and a half. Even with the space heater this room's too cold.
Elayne: I'm going to snuggle under blankets and dream of warmer weather.
cease: dream warmly
Hemlock Scones: depends what you mean by warm, Elayne
Elayne: Next week, all! Perhaps a warming trend!
Dexter Fong: And thus, Flo Rida exerts its influence
||||||||| 10:05 PM -- Elayne left for parts unknown. (Entry from Nick Danger's "Idiots I Have Been Paid To Follow").
doctecazoid: depends on what you mean by mean, hemlock
Merlyn: byE
Bambi: rest well E!
doctecazoid: flo rica = el nina?
doctecazoid: rida
doctecazoid: can you guess ive had a martini or two?
doctecazoid: surely not from my typing skills
cease: doc, el said she was listenig to radio free booze on her new smart phone
Dexter Fong: Doc: Scones is not mean, he likes it that way
Merlyn: a martoni or tea?
cease: does that mean i can listen to podcasts on it? i would assume it would have to plugged in
Honeynut Groats: i can manually refresh so i can see what ya'all are typing
Dexter Fong: T for Tesla
doctecazoid: dex: scones mean? does scones have a meaning? blue meaning?
doctecazoid: so hard to tell...
Hemlock Scones: Dex, any sign of Lord Poop and his band the Poopy Doos?
cease: not yet, scones
doctecazoid: the manual that refreshes
Dexter Fong: Scones: No appearnace tonight
doctecazoid: i suspect manual refreshing happens quite frequently around the globe
Dexter Fong: I always feel both refreshed and soporithic
||||||||| Outside, the 10:09 PM crosstown bus from Funfun Town pulls away, leaving no_anchovies coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Honeynut Groats: awwwwwwwww nutz!!! awwwww man it ain't workin' fer me maybe i can talk t o some tech support or someone who can help me to fix firefox I hope everyone is doing ok these days much love peace on earth or at least a piece of it anyway honey
doctecazoid: cat: i sent her the link to the mp3, that's why she could listen to it on smartphone (are they really that smart? isn't it just more a case of precociousness)
Bambi: I used to have to set it to manual refresh when we were on dialup not so long ago, so I can identify Honey LOL
Bambi: hey no_
no_anchovies: howdy.
doctecazoid: ah those were the days (cue sound of phone modem connecting)
Bambi: much love to you too Honey!
cease: so her phone, and the smart phone in general, can get audio links, like cni
ah,clem: do you have scripts enabled, Honey?
cease: can you listen to cni and chat at the same time?
Bambi: if you are using NoScript, you have to turn it off for the site..scripts are needed here
doctecazoid: why it was only yesterday when i thought: wow, 14.4k,i can download the jdk in just two hours!!!!!
||||||||| "10:11 PM? I'm late!" exclaims Honeynut Groats, who then scurries out through the french doors and down through the bushes.
no_anchovies: where's Llan?
cease: maybe you['re llan, under a new monniker
doctecazoid: lan, wan, man...
Dexter Fong: NO, llan hasn't been in to ight
Bambi: llan? is that you?
doctecazoid: or man under a new lloniker
Bambi: heard that doc! LOL now it would take overnight!
doctecazoid: no script, you have the wrong browser... i spell my name: chrome!
no_anchovies: it's Paul from San Diego. sorry i was absent of late, but i was ill.
Bambi: Chrome works nicely and sandboxed
cease: hope you're well now
Bambi: and has at least some of the extensions
Bambi: but no NoScript...really ticks me off that there's no NoScript
no_anchovies: not really, but thanks for the thought.
Bambi: hey Paul
Bambi: hope you are feeling much better now
cease: there is an amazing amount of ill health on this chat. maybe because most of us are old
doctecazoid: my iron lung is working again!
no_anchovies: (hates being old)
doctecazoid: we (s)old out!
Bambi: old? what's that? ;-)
doctecazoid: gong but not forgotten
Bambi: I am still 29 and holding ....

cease: i was 29, 30 years ago
doctecazoid: are you holding? cool, i've got some scratch and have been looking for a score...
no_anchovies: gotta start young if you're gonna stick it out.
cease: age does different things to different people. the firesigns are all old but young
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Mudhead close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 10:16 PM tree-stunting plans, and rushes off to the Aviary.
Bambi: been holding a few years now myself LOL!
doctecazoid: got any reefer - roofer - wringer?
Bambi: hey Mudhead

||||||||| A time machine materializes at 1:58 AM and FireScrooge steps out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
FireScrooge:

“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!
FireScrooge:

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.
FireScrooge:

Oh!
Look at that, Herb!
It heard the word Power,
and it responded,
just like we do . . .

and here it comes . . .

Here comes our ox-cart,
right back to Earth,
smack-dab on the middle of the
Small
Animal
Administration!
||||||||| At 1:59 AM, FireScrooge runs out the door saying "Hey, mister ice-cream man, I've got a nickel, wait for meeeee..."
