||||||||| 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 28, 2011 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Dave & katie close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 6:08 PM tree-stunting plans, and hurries off to the sitting room.
Dave & katie: well hi gang, just thought I'd let yall know we still exist. I'm currently in schenectady new york digitizing an archive of GE-related audio. I'm leaving for CO next tuesday though, have been here for 2 months. so, we say hi and hope all are well. can't chat tonight, got dinner plans.
||||||||| Around 6:10 PM, Dave & katie walks off into the sunset...
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 8:22 PM, dragging BrieflyPut by the hair and asks "Can anyone vouch for this Yahoo ™?"
BrieflyPut: Today is Phil Proctor’s birthday!
BrieflyPut: Give my best to that great dog of yours
||||||||| At 8:23 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, BrieflyPut!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, July 28, 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?"
||||||||| Outside, the 9:00 PM bus from Elmertown pulls away, leaving c coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
c: wow. dave and katie were here.
c: it's not often a cat gets to talk to a dog
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood intones: "9:20 PM and late as usual, it's doctecazoid, just back from Hellmouth."
doctecazoid hears crickets
c: hey doc
c: i thought i'd be here all by myself tonight

c: went out and took pix for the first time in vancouver this year today
doctecazoid: you have 'tales of the old detective' yes?
c: really felt like summer. unfortunatlely i had on cords so i was far too hot
||||||||| Catherwood sneaks into the room, and intones "Announcing 'TheTweenthOfJulie', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:24 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...
doctecazoid: re pix: cool
doctecazoid: hey twixt & tween
c: of course, doc. i have quoted from it often, including in the Guy Savoy section of Vegas FEb, which i'm sure you've read
TheTweenthOfJulie: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL PROCTOR
doctecazoid: tween: you have 'tales of the old detective' yes?

doctecazoid: c's got it wright
||||||||| Catherwood sneaks into the room, and intones "Announcing 'Merlyn', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:26 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
doctecazoid: circa 1995
TheTweenthOfJulie: It's cease's?
Merlyn: hey all

TheTweenthOfJulie: Then I do not have it. Please feel free to email a URL or the file, if you would
TheTweenthOfJulie: Hi Merl
||||||||| Dexter Fong steals in around 9:28 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last month's "unpleasant incident."
Dexter Fong: Hey Friends

Dexter Fong: Hi Doc

Elayne: My life is lived on short notice these days. :)
doctecazoid: oddly, so is mine
Principalpoop: i don't like sushi, how about KFC?
c: i had a surprisingly poor lunch at what used to be my favret restaurant today
Elayne: KFC is tomorrow, PrinPoop.
TheTweenthOfJulie: Looks like Nino is getting a little of his powers back
Principalpoop: it was a joke, get it, I play dumb? a joke?
Elayne: Every time I go to the comic shop and then take the subway home, I stop at KFC a block away from the subway so I can bring some home to Robin.
Dexter Fong: How's that Tween?
Principalpoop: cool
Dexter Fong: Tween: The only one he can locate is Merlyn, his creator

Principalpoop: cool, when do I get the wine and crackers?
Elayne: Oh Tom... I'm sorry, I had no idea! Good luck with the surgery.
c: i'm sure doc will eject that cancer so forcefully it will be afraid of him forever
Elayne: Here's hoping.
doctecazoid: e: thanks. they're using the davinci system, robotic/laprospopic - very precise
Principalpoop: i like those vigoda onions
c: only in the snese that "catholic" meant broadminded or liberal
doctecazoid: they're resurrcecting da vinci himself to supervise - so i'm in good hands

Elayne: My TV is in the coroner too.
doctecazoid: "leoardo da vinci, t.v. coroner" - i'd watch that show. discovery channel?
doctecazoid: e: LOL
Elayne: Works better than having it in the middle of the room.
Principalpoop: you are thinking of the slob from odd couple
Dexter Fong: CatL I am though his choice of headwear is rather prossaic
doctecazoid: the elephant in the room, in fact
doctecazoid: put it on a rotating platform
doctecazoid: theater in the round!
c: i remember when they used to be called "tv repairmen"

Merlyn: using PHP and cookies to keep track of daily voting gets pretty complicated
Dexter Fong: In China using surplus US Dollars
Merlyn: because you have to refresh the page to set the cookie, and refresh it AGAIN to see if the browser accepted the cookie...
Elayne: Are there any surplus US dollars left?
Merlyn: if they're surplus, are they cheaper?
Dexter Fong: E: Only in China
Merlyn: I'll pay top dollar for a dollar, at least 87 cents
Dexter Fong: Merl: You betcha
c: our dollar is far to high for my liking
doctecazoid: you can't even buy a fake dollar for that!
Dexter Fong: Why the plastic alone costs more than the bill
Elayne: THen don't send out the bill, Tom.

Dexter Fong: Doc and all: While driving through rural New Jercey on the way Atalantic City, went through a little town Named Elmer
TheTweenthOfJulie: Yes, I have often thought that Billville was in fact a reference to the corporatization of our lives
doctecazoid: we'll have to tale a pole regarding the czechs
doctecazoid: dex: wow' elmer exists - kewel
Dexter Fong: I'd rather pole some tail
Principalpoop: the lady of the night who did not know she had been raped until the check bounced...
TheTweenthOfJulie: But is that germaine to the argument?
Elayne: Wow, PrinPoop, congratulations, that's inappropriate on at least two levels.
Dexter Fong: I think it's prussian nough
Principalpoop: everything is commodities, buy and sell
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 9:58 PM, dragging llanwydd by one leg and asks "Can anyone vouch for this yo-yo?"

doctecazoid: in my case: clicked 'Exit' in error
Principalpoop: i did it too, did not need to

Dexter Fong: Perhaps it's Nino showing us he's pissed off his locating powers are down
doctecazoid: El Nino

Dexter Fong: If you say so Cat

||||||||| llanwydd enters at 10:08 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and scurries off to the Haberdashery Barn.
Principalpoop: what?
doctecazoid: myst was like pyst, but without the humor - and very opaque, as in "what do i do to get to the next screen?"
llanwydd: I'm back
||||||||| Principalpoop is forcibly ejected just as the clock strikes 10:09 PM.

Dexter Fong: Quick, get out the closet
doctecazoid: john revolta
Merlyn: if you push a revolving door hard enough, will it fall over?

Principalpoop: what about adjectives?
Merlyn: round and round she goes, hey hey babe, we're on the wheel again
doctecazoid: earlier today lili sent me one of the bulwer-lytton "dishonorable mentions" ...
doctecazoid: She gazed smolderingly at the mysterious rider, his body cloaked in enough shining black leather to outfit an Italian furniture store, wrapped so tightly each muscle stood out like a flamboyant Mexican hairdresser at an Alabamian monster truck rally; and he met her gaze with an intensity that couldn't have been matched by even a starving junkyard dog in the meat aisle of a suburban supermarket.
||||||||| At 10:20 PM, llanwydd hurries out the door saying "Hey, mister ice-cream man, I've got a nickel, wait for meeeee..."
Principalpoop: just let shine, within your mind, and show you the colors, that are real

TheTweenthOfJulie: lol Merlyn
Merlyn: got that idea when I worked at Rosemount, Cary Yamanaka was my manager and he had some karate trophies, he judges karate contests too
TheTweenthOfJulie: You've seen the karate movie parody "They Call Me Bruce"?
TheTweenthOfJulie: You've seen the karate movie parody "They Call Me Bruce"?

Dexter Fong: Rosemount? Were you a Nun, Merlyn
Principalpoop: no
TheTweenthOfJulie: Hmmm, there's an echo in the javascript
Merlyn: just a programmer
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies llanwydd into the room, accepts three dimes as a gratuity, mumbles something about 10:24 PM, then departs.

Principalpoop: subtle and fong in the same sentence, does not compute
Dexter Fong: And why would that be Cat?
Dexter Fong: We always leave a light on
Principalpoop: he might go in the wrong room and give you a golden shower hehehe
c: it was like the rosemary's baby ref in the hour hour story proctor tells about being in the wrong place in new york when he was making that flick here

c: by my standards. and heat makes me eat less, though we did walk enough to give me a good appetitie for what we ate

Dexter Fong: I'd say October. Could be a cold spell, but often pleasantly warm in the day and cool and crisp at night
c: poop, to sell out, they need buyers
c: yeah oct is not bad here, though jacket-needing
c: pretty leaves
Dexter Fong: And to get buyers, they need serious promotion
Principalpoop: stop ranting about the war on ipod, and get on their knees in the marketing offices
