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 24, 2011 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood ushers NackDingar into the room, accepts a wooden nickel as a gratuity, mumbles something about 6:48 PM, then departs.
NackDingar: He walks in! He’s ready for mystery . . . he’s ready for excitment . . .he’s ready for anything . . .he’s . . .
NackDingar: Nick Danger, Third Eye!
NackDingar: You’ve got the wrong man. I spell my name Danger!
NackDingar: The makers of Fantastic Cigarettes, “Long in the leaf and Short in the can,” bring you another true story from the tattered casebook of Nick Danger, Third Eye. Let’s join him now in the adventure we call, “Cut ‘Em Off At The Past!”
||||||||| Catherwood says "6:51 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs NackDingar by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
||||||||| "7:46 PM? 7:46 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Woody 1 should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Woody 1 enters and sits on the couch.
Woody 1: Always an hour early and a dollar too much. Damn.
Woody 1: Try and chat later, folks. If not, I like yall alot. Will try and watch a movie before wife starts her new job tomorrow. Got a feeling I'll be glued to her hip.
||||||||| At 7:52 PM, Woody 1 vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
||||||||| Catherwood stumbles in and intones "Presenting 'ah,clem', just granted probation at 8:30 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
||||||||| New CNI streaming notice: 'no "few minutes" tonight, see you next week'
||||||||| "8:32 PM? I'm late!" exclaims ah,clem, who then dashes out through the french doors and down through the garden.
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, February 24, 2011 - 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?"
||||||||| 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 cease plummets into the garden at 9:01 PM.
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Merlyn close behind, grumbles something about disrupting his 9:03 PM tree-stunting plans, and runs off to the sitting room.
Merlyn: hey cat
cease: hey merl. you aren't me.
Merlyn: no minutes tonight
||||||||| Catherwood leads TweenO'Madness inside, makes a note of the time (9:04 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
Merlyn: If I were you, I could be in two places
cease: did all the chatters move to libya?
cease: hi tween
cease: its the coldest here in 66 years
Merlyn: libya the tattooed lady?
TweenO'Madness: Hello, dear friends
TweenO'Madness: Yeah, I sawsomething rather arctic looking coming across the NW
cease: good one merl
||||||||| 9:06 PM: Dexter Fong jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past five minutes!"
||||||||| "9:06 PM? 9:06 PM!!" says Catherwood, "llanwydd should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as llanwydd enters and sits in front of the fireplace.
llanwydd: how's everybody?
TweenO'Madness: if only hundreds of people dying was funny
cease: people i know who dont normally swear are cursing the weather
cease: hey dex and llan
Dexter Fong: Hello Fellow Friends
cease: are we fellows or friends?
Dexter Fong: Fellow or fallow, you get what you sew
cease: tween a lot of people in libya who are now dieing would probably be very funny if alive
Dexter Fong: Yep...them AYrabs is funny
cease: odd to see rolling stone on nbc news
cease: about psy ops
cease: this is interesting stuff
TweenO'Madness: how would they be funny, cease?
Dexter Fong: psy clops, the big eye in the sky..wait, that's CBS
||||||||| Mudhead sneaks in around 9:10 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last night's "unpleasant incident."
cease: google this
TweenO'Madness: do not adjust your sanitary pedistal
cease: hi muddy
||||||||| Mudhead rushes off, saying "9:10 PM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?"
cease: i hope you are mudless
Dexter Fong: Hey Muddie
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Mudhead close behind, grumbles something about disrupting his 9:11 PM tree-stunting plans, and hurries off to the anteroom.
Dexter Fong: He's gone
Dexter Fong: He's back
llanwydd: hello again
Dexter Fong: He's gone and back like anything
cease: that was quick. liike carnation instant drinks
Mudhead: hai akk
Mudhead: all*
llanwydd: these pop-up videos are reaking havoc

TweenO'Madness: At least he keeps us informed as to the latest doings
cease: there is not such thing as everything, llan
TweenO'Madness: Very busy fellow
cease: i
llanwydd: that's very profound, Cat. it never occurred to me
TweenO'Madness: Proc is apparently still very much invloved with live stage productions
llanwydd: well, if the universe is a closed system there is an everything
cease: i'm still interacting with shit bergman said in 67-68
Dexter Fong: which universe?
Dexter Fong: and what dimension
cease: but thats what good ideas are for. to think about and get something out of
TweenO'Madness: and is still doing Don Quitoxe reading with the guitar quartet
TweenO'Madness: *Quixote

||||||||| Catherwood walks up and announces "Presenting 'Principalpoop', just granted probation at 9:19 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
cease: hi poop
Dexter Fong: Hi poop
TweenO'Madness: Every time he send it, cease
Principalpoop: which universe??
||||||||| Outside, the 9:20 PM downtown bus from Portland pulls away, leaving no_anchovies coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
TweenO'Madness: Always great quotes that I end up putting in my email signature database
Dexter Fong: what dimension I might add
Dexter Fong: Hey no
llanwydd: welcome, Princip
TweenO'Madness: Something's fishy here...
Principalpoop: salutations all

Principalpoop: probably a pieces, working for skale
TweenO'Madness: Is that a whole in won?
cease: hi no
||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and pipes up "Announcing 'Bunnyboy', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:21 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...
Dexter Fong: Hey Bunny
TweenO'Madness: Vegas? Sounds expensive
Bunnyboy: Lo dere
TweenO'Madness: Hey Bun
Principalpoop: a cave is just a hole on its side
cease: hi bun
Principalpoop: hip hop bunny
no_anchovies: Nino still has me in Portland... that's over 1,000 miles away. not exactly accurate i tell ya.

Merlyn: you must be confused, anchovies
Principalpoop: back in the shadows again
TweenO'Madness: how did you do at the tables, cease?
Principalpoop: yes I am not confused thanks
Bunnyboy: I'm an early shifter in March. I'll get to chat in comfort then.

Principalpoop: she slits sheets, she's a sheet slitter
Bunnyboy: cat: Nope. You have 19 questions left.
cease: i dont gamble, tween
Principalpoop: animal vegetable or mineral?
no_anchovies: yeah, i forgot, you CAN be in two places at once, if you don't particularly care where you is.
Dexter Fong: Cat: Maybe he meant the dining tables, Cat
Bunnyboy: Yeah, call me Pere Ubu.
cease: i went to vegas as part of a quest, thankfuly the last part.
Principalpoop: ok Pere Ubu
TweenO'Madness: and you went to vegas because of the roller maidens
Principalpoop: was there a question about your quest?
cease: i had thought of the project as a radio plau. then a non fiction book. now i'm tniknnig graphic novel i dont konw yet but it was profound
TweenO'Madness: ah, I know, Anne Murray was in town
Bunnyboy: Homeward bound.
Principalpoop: Wayne Newton won't be around forever, it just seems like it
Dexter Fong: Boing Boing Boing
no_anchovies: the air-speed velocity of an unnamed swallow?
cease: i think any universe that has anne murray in it is probably the wrong universe. celine dion too
Principalpoop: fong turned into a grandfathers clock
Dexter Fong: No, just me bounding homeward
TweenO'Madness: pray tell the quest
Bunnyboy: Everyone got their DOMM copies?
cease: he'd rather be a grandfather cock
Principalpoop: you are high and spelled bong wrong
Dexter Fong raises his hand
TweenO'Madness: did it involve a leisure suit?
Dexter Fong: Yep, took years to settle
||||||||| Elayne waltzes in at 9:28 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
Elayne: Is this somebody's door knocker?
Principalpoop: i dated poly and esther
Dexter Fong: Hiee Eee
TweenO'Madness: Hey E
Elayne: Shouldn't leave things lying about like that.
Principalpoop: HI E, nice knocker
Elayne: Evenin' all!
cease: yay! it's el!
Elayne: "Vy, sank you, doctor!" Or is that too obscure a reference, PrinPoop?
Bunnyboy: Any possibility them DOMM files will end up archived at FST. com?
Principalpoop: roll roll roll in the hay
Dexter Fong: Vysank?
Bunnyboy: And/or iTunes?
llanwydd: asdfghjk
Dexter Fong: get up with
Elayne: Faux German accent, Dex.
llanwydd: I was planning to watch the shuttle launch today but I missed it
Dexter Fong: Friend or Faux?
Elayne: Ah good, PrinPoop, I like to think the folks on here are well-versed in comedy other than Firesign.
llanwydd: I saw one at night when I was down here a few years ago
Merlyn: maybe when they're all dead, BB
||||||||| At 9:31 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Mudhead!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
llanwydd: the night launches are more spectacular
Principalpoop: well excuuuuse me
Principalpoop: hi muddy
Elayne: Howdy Mudhead!
llanwydd: Hey Muddy
Bunnyboy: Yes, we know everything but Firesign.
TweenO'Madness: Firesign is comedy?? Noibody told me...
Elayne: I think it's criminal that this is the last space shuttle. We look like cheapos to the rest of the world.
TweenO'Madness: I think there are two more missions, E
TweenO'Madness: Last for this one
Principalpoop: retiring it before we have next vehicle ready, is that wise?
no_anchovies: get used to it. (cheapos)
llanwydd: now china gets their turn
Bunnyboy: "From my cold, dead hands!"
Principalpoop: no collective bargaining, unless all the workers go on strike, so fu the law, let them pass it
Elayne: Ah, thanks for the correction, Tween. We still look like cheapos.
Bunnyboy: I'm midway through Ep 11 of Hour Hour.
TweenO'Madness: I love how the movies in the 30's like MAarx & WC have seals of approval
TweenO'Madness: Not
Principalpoop: almost time for lunch bunny
Dexter Fong: afkfr
TweenO'Madness: I'm not against collective bargaining. I'm against Jimmy Hoffa
Bunnyboy: Tween: Check out some pre-code titles.
TweenO'Madness: Such as?
Principalpoop: like corporations never have bad apples at the top either, let us get rid of corporations...
llanwydd: I wonder how the marx bros felt about the seal of approval
TweenO'Madness: Jili?
Bunnyboy: BABY FACE. HELL HARBOR.
Principalpoop: nonsense, organize into states and countries and corporations but not unions, phooey
TweenO'Madness: How could it get any worse than the trash they're turning out these days?
cease: I think they thought of any seal as a subject of humour
Elayne: Speaking of seals of approval, looks as though the circus is back in town. Yum, the smell of elephant pee in Madison Square Garden. Can spring be far behind?
TweenO'Madness: lol E
Principalpoop: elephant dung is good for roses, I think they sell it now, they used to give it away
Bunnyboy: Warners and Universal have several collections.
Elayne: There used to be a somewhat regular comic convention in part of MSG, that my friend Heidi always termed "Elephant Pee Con" because it was held around the same time as the circus and you really could smell it permeating everything.
Elayne: I think Ringling still gives it away, PrinPoop.
TweenO'Madness: Hughes' "The Outlaw" had real problems (Jane Russell in all her chestness), but I don't think seals of approval are a good idea
Principalpoop: cool
Bunnyboy: Warners' FORBIDDEN HOLLYWOOD series is cool.
TweenO'Madness: Ratings, sure
llanwydd: I went to a ringling bros b&b circus at msg when I was real little
llanwydd: I remember it pretty well
Bunnyboy: Jumping off the bus. BBL.
||||||||| Bunnyboy is kicked out just as the clock strikes 9:39 PM.
TweenO'Madness: Well, as has been said, The Circus Is In Town
Principalpoop: hip hop bunny
Dexter Fong: BBBunny
cease: if it were in the country, no one would see it
Principalpoop: we used to watch the train bringing it to dc
Principalpoop: then they closed that track, rats
no_anchovies: the Beatty/Cole Circus was cool too. not as polished... i like that.
TweenO'Madness: Pretty sue I saw RB/B&B in DC many, many moons ago
TweenO'Madness: *sure
Principalpoop: it was there in april, went every year for years
Dexter Fong: *Thanks
no_anchovies: the old-style "Tent" circuses are really rare.
Dexter Fong: They all wear slankets now
TweenO'Madness: You're familiar with the Clint Eastwood "Bronco Billy"?
cease: lots of things are rare
no_anchovies: they have one out here, but i forget ... no wait. Vargas... Circus Vargas.
Dexter Fong: Las Vargas?
no_anchovies: been a few years since i went tho'.
Principalpoop: what happened to the vargas girls?
TweenO'Madness: It's about a 'big tent' wild west show, and considering it was done in the early 80's I'd have to say that it is a refreshing change from Dirty Harry
Dexter Fong: They went to war with Lucky strikegreen
no_anchovies: they tour the west coast, but i think Cirque du Soleil has the Vegas market cornered.
TweenO'Madness: Although it does have a 'dirty harry' moment
cease: they seem to be everywhere in vegas
Principalpoop: oops, I was thinking of billy jack
no_anchovies: ever since Kitty ate Roy, or was it Siegfried?
cease: no wonder the cirque owner goes on the shuttle
TweenO'Madness: from what I've seen on TV, Cirque du Soliel must be quite amazing
cease: and you dont know jack about billy
TweenO'Madness: at least they don't get eaten by their own tigers ;)
Elayne: Well let's face it, without Cirque de Soleil we'd have no Lady Gaga and that ilk. Half those acts are C du S-type choreography.
Dexter Fong: No_ First Kitty ate Chester 'n the Marshall
no_anchovies: nor, about "off."
TweenO'Madness: True cease, but I have been to Prescott, AZ ;)
Principalpoop: i will not stand for slander about miss kitty
no_anchovies: then sit for it.
cease: it may be very pretty. it just didnt interest me. i would have watched carrot top
Elayne: Robin's still really keen on seeing LOVE. I almost have him talked into us going to Vegas for his 50th (and probably staying w' Mom, who's still snowbirding every year)
cease: but not in tsame time frame with dinners
no_anchovies: Catherwood, get Poop a chair.
||||||||| Catherwood gets poop a chair.
cease: the bealtles thing at the mirage, el?
TweenO'Madness: No front row with a tarp watching a demonstration of the Sledge-O-Matic, cease?
Elayne: Cat, wasn't "Carrot Top" one of the specialty meals prepared for you? :) :)
Principalpoop takes a load off
Elayne: That's the one, Cat.
cease: may be
Principalpoop: thanks
TweenO'Madness: Catherwood, please get Poop a sanitary pedistal
||||||||| Catherwood gets poop a sanitary pedistal.
Principalpoop: front row for a gallagher show, that is the ticket
cease: you must ride elevator to top of THE Hotel El. Greatest thing I've ever seen. at sun set
Elayne: Gallagher should pay his audience to sit in the first few rows, PrinPoop. Hey wait, maybe he does, that would explain a lot.
Principalpoop: no, say it ain't so....
Elayne: Which hotel, Cat?
cease: tis called THE hotel. next to mandalay bay.
Elayne: Mirage?
Elayne: You're kidding. Capital T, capital H, capital E? Good grief, US Plus owns the idea of pretentiousness.
Dexter Fong: No it's really there
cease: teh trip is, reflected city of vegas and strip reflectred in mandalay bay shiny surfaces
no_anchovies: not a mirage, merely an acid flashback.
Principalpoop: ahh mandalay bay ok exnay on the piglatinay
Elayne: LOL, Dex!
Elayne: Oh, that's why you like it, reflective surfaces. :)
cease: yes el
cease: but the previous best image was not reflected
Elayne: Oh, I'm afraid I must pass along a sad note. Firesign fan and comic book/animation writer Dwayne McDuffie has passed away.
Principalpoop: the word is refracted
cease: the beet thing i ever saw was a what field in saskatchewan
no_anchovies wonders if surfaces are only skin deep?
Elayne: He liked to name the episodes of his comic book stories after Firesign albums and such. Did it at least twice.
cease: sorry to hear that el
Dexter Fong: Soya beanns....?
Elayne: Wish he could have come on chat with us, really fascinating guy. Super-smart.
Elayne: I'll miss the heck out of him.
Principalpoop: http://dwaynemcduffie.com/about/bio/
Dexter Fong: E: There was an obit in the Daily News today
TweenO'Madness: Soya beans are.... people!!
Elayne: Surprised you could get on the site, PrinPoop. It's been pretty jammed for the last couple of days. I thought they'd at least change the home page.
cease: smart is always in small quantity
Principalpoop: death is a part of life, the fucker
llanwydd: I never knew a woman who was into comics until I came here
TweenO'Madness: huh?
llanwydd: I thought comics were for boys but I suppose they are for anybody
Dexter Fong: The fucker begins life and ends i ..............
Elayne: Llan, there are thousands of us, you need to get out more. :)
cease: that may be redundant, llan
llanwydd: lol
llanwydd: I suppose I do
cease: you gotta start ytoung if you're gonna stick it out
Principalpoop: phone numbers E?
llanwydd: I was really into horror comics when I was a kid
llanwydd: horror comics and Mad magazine
Elayne: PrinPoop, you don't need phone numbers, just go to a convention and you'll see 'em all around.
Principalpoop: DC and then Marvel, but I sold them all, I am a moron
llanwydd: for quite a while I wasn't allowed to have them and I had to sneak them into my room
llanwydd: and my sister would tell on me for having them
Dexter Fong: Inside the copy of Playboy?
llanwydd: lol
Elayne: We want to get rid of most of our comics. Robin had them around for reference, and I like a library, but digital accessibility is making that particular library redundant and dusty.
Principalpoop: i look like George Constanza on a bad day
Dexter Fong: Shrinkage and all?
no_anchovies: my collectable coms were stolen some years back from a storage unit. Cops refused to file a report. i guess it was my fault for falling so short on the graft payment.
Principalpoop: you got it
no_anchovies: had a few good # 1's.
llanwydd: I had my FST Big Book of Plays stolen
Principalpoop: mine were not in collectable condition, i really enjoyed them
llanwydd: I didn't collect superhero comics but I liked to look at my friends collections
no_anchovies: i wasn't anal about it, but they were in pretty good shape. they were flat in boxes.
llanwydd: I only collected horror and Mad
cease: i have some old peanuts comic books
Principalpoop: don't care if the coins were flat
no_anchovies: yeah, Llan, i had Big Book of Plays also, and the bad luck with that was water damage.
llanwydd: I kept my Mads in a toy toolbox under my bed so my parents wouldn't find them
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
cease: i also have a real estate ad for shultz's house when he first put in the on the market, then later took it off
cease: thatr must be worrth sometihng
Principalpoop: I know nothing
Elayne: Thank you Catherwood, I really ought to be toddling.
||||||||| Catherwood strides up to Elayne and says "Something I can help with?"
cease: would make you a good 19th century revolutoinary, llan
no_anchovies: worth Peanuts, i imagine.
llanwydd: I kept george carlin's Occupation: Foole under the couch downstairs. that would have caused even more trouble
cease: off you toodle ell
||||||||| 10:01 PM: doctecazoid jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past year and a half!"
Principalpoop: a hot toddy sounds good
Elayne: Not any more, but you can leave a couple on the side table.
Elayne: Bye all! Hi Doc, bye Doc!
cease: hey doc
Principalpoop: doc, give me something for my cough
cease: you just missed el
Principalpoop: night E
llanwydd: Hi doc
doctecazoid: here, take my gun
cease: fuck and a half
doctecazoid: she comes, she goes
Elayne: PrinPoop, here's a nickel. Call all my friends! Night, all!
||||||||| Elayne says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, Elayne exits at 10:02 PM.
Principalpoop: wait, phone calls cost more now, rats
cease: thats not a nickel. that's a nick Danger
Merlyn: bye E
llanwydd: I auditioned for a casting director near orlando this afternoon
cease: tell us good news, doc
Principalpoop: sounds mickey mouse to me
doctecazoid: orlando jones?
cease: good for you llan
llanwydd: he liked the audition but he wants me to get a bunch of 8x10 and 4x5 headshots before he can get me any work
llanwydd: that will take a while
doctecazoid: the good news is - i'm still here
no_anchovies: did you get your cast, or just break a leg?
cease: i'm sure you'll get the job
doctecazoid: i always hated the cast system
cease: death is a bummer. trust me on that one.
doctecazoid: hope it comes thru lland
llanwydd: yeah, so far I'm an untouchable
llanwydd: well, maybe a grade or two above
doctecazoid: lepro, see?
Principalpoop: how does the caste list go? untouchables, nudgeables, graspables, huggables, loveables..

Principalpoop: do I look like a 2nd story man?
Dexter Fong: between an untaouchable and a huggable
doctecazoid: yep - some of the students commented that she should be the professor of the class
Principalpoop: cool
doctecazoid: squeezably soft
doctecazoid: so i assume most of you have had a chance to check out the latest dangerousminds.net interview

Dexter Fong: don't know it
Principalpoop: no chezks aloowed

Dexter Fong: That's great Doc
Dexter Fong: the spke I mean

Bunnyboy: Emma Stone is a hoot, period. ZOMBIELAND comes to mind.
Dexter Fong: I prefer the ac duct
doctecazoid: yes, she was great in that too - and in superbad also
Bunnyboy: EXIT is fun, because it starts at A...then ends up on another planet.
Principalpoop: i watched some old italian movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WfYvekT6mQ
doctecazoid: she's a rising star, though i fear from checking out how many flicks she's slated to be in over the next year or so, audiences could burn out on her

doctecazoid: and yet wtf is now in the vernacular
Dexter Fong: Craig's List Cat
Principalpoop: dub the words with similar but nice words, go find yourself, and shove it up your nose
