||||||||| Catherwood announces, "The time is 4:33 AM - I now declare Thursday's chat log for July 21, 2011 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| 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 Son of Firesign falls out at 6:35 AM.
Son of Firesign: Catherwood, answer this call on your video phone.
||||||||| Catherwood walks right past Son of Firesign
Son of Firesign: Win a ringy dingy, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood steps alongside Son of Firesign and queries "Typing my name just to rile me, eh?"
Son of Firesign: Get with it, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood gets with it.
Son of Firesign:

||||||||| Catherwood buys Son of Firesign a ticket for captain america on july 22.
||||||||| Son of Firesign hurries out the back door as Mayor P'nisnose blasts through the front door holding a shotgun and shouting "Where's Son of Firesign?! It's 6:39 AM and my ballot boxes haven't been stuffed yet!"
||||||||| Son of Firesign steps in at 8:15 AM carrying an obsidian door knocker.

||||||||| At 8:16 AM, Son of Firesign dashes out the door saying "Hey, mister ice-cream man, I've got a nickel, wait for meeeee..."
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 9:31 AM, dragging RedPillTweeny by the hair and asks "Can anyone vouch for this bozo?"
||||||||| It's 9:55 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| RedPillTweeny - dead from dengue fever
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, July 21, 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?"
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood pipes up: "9:04 PM and late as usual, it's cool cat, just back from Hellmouth."
cool cat: is everyone dead from heat?
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Principalpoop close behind, mumbles something about disrupting his 9:10 PM tree-stunting plans, and scurries off to the vestibule.

cool cat: hey stones
Principalpoop: at least you have an axis to grind
Principalpoop: your highness, my lord
||||||||| Catherwood leads Bunnyboy into the room, accepts an I.O.U. as a gratuity, grumbles something about 9:37 PM, then departs.
Bunnyboy: Yo da.
Principalpoop: and bunnyboy too, hip hop, the plot thickens

Bunnyboy: Grey, then sunny, then grey again.
cool cat: cool?
Principalpoop: yes, what a bunch of bold faced liars, goodness

Elayne: Evenin', all!
cool cat: and speaking of new york....
H Stones: hi Eolayne
Principalpoop: Hi E, hot enough for yah?

cool cat: el, that's what i felt in japan
Elayne: Tomorrow's going to be the worst of it. I get out of work at 3 PM, which is probably going to be the height of the heat, or the heat of the height...
Principalpoop: ugh
Principalpoop: get a tan walking around in the english rain stones? who is the walrus?
Elayne: Ugh is right. I'm going to shower now. Will try to log on again after I'm a little more comfy.
H Stones: its terrible when you cannot afford either the hot or the cold
cool cat: ok el. stay cool
Principalpoop: ciao, or sleep if you can
Elayne: Oh, speaking of the walrus, it wasn't Paul, and I should know because I saw Paul in concert last Saturday. Best show I've ever been to.
cool cat: that's the reason we live in north van. we don't get the kind of heat/cold the rest of the coutnry gets, usually
Elayne: Later, all.
||||||||| At 9:52 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Elayne!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
cool cat: great to hear, el
Principalpoop: silly love songs, anybody else tired of them?
H Stones: even on a grey rainy day, it gets hot in a green house, never underestimate the power of solar radiation, polar explorers get sunburned through the clouds
