||||||||| 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 August 11, 2011 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Outside, the 9:03 AM bus from Billville pulls away, leaving RedPillTweeny coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
||||||||| It's 9:25 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| RedPillTweeny - dead from the yaws
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Outside, the 1:43 PM crosstown bus from Hellmouth pulls away, leaving RedPillTweeny coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
||||||||| It's 1:55 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| RedPillTweeny - dead from The Plague
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| 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 cease2 falls out at 8:58 PM.
||||||||| LiberTweenian enters at 8:58 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and rushes off to the Chapeau Manger.
cease2: are you alive or dead?
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, August 11, 2011 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
LiberTweenian: an interesting philospophical quandary
cease2: typing for the dead, a great title for a new firesign album
LiberTweenian: lol
cease2: i'm on the laptop hence cease2
LiberTweenian: Shoes For Industry! Typing For The Dead!
cease2: the main computer is in the shop
LiberTweenian: aha
LiberTweenian: Is it also an Apple?
cease2: no
LiberTweenian: I've become quite fond of Ubuntu Linux
cease2: a dell, on doc'sx recommendaqtion
LiberTweenian: Win XP?
cease2: i shouls get Lion for this
cease2: not sure
cease2: it refused to turn on so i had to take it in
LiberTweenian: Lion requires some pretty heavy duty processing power, from what I've heard
cease2: this 7 year old powserbook 4 is not powerful
LiberTweenian: G4 PPC? Won't even run Snow Leopard
LiberTweenian: What's the proc speed? If it's a 1G I might take it off your hands
cease2: its old but still works
||||||||| Dexter Fong bounds in at 9:05 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
||||||||| Merlyn enters at 9:05 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and rushes off to the Hat Pack Annex.
Merlyn: hullo
cease2: i paid a fortune for it in 04. not worth shit now
LiberTweenian: Hey Dex, Merl
cease2: hi merl, the possible dex
LiberTweenian: They do devalue with age
Dexter Fong: Hey everbody
||||||||| lanwyd bounds in at 9:06 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
lanwyd: howdy
cease2: any more news about firesign shows, merl?
Dexter Fong: howdy right back little beaver
cease2: ossman cant afford to call me and bring me up to date on a regular basis
LiberTweenian: I'm looking for a 1G Titanuim because that's the fastest lappy they made which will run OS 9 native
LiberTweenian: My music software won't run in Classic Mode
Merlyn: nope cat
LiberTweenian: any newz on da boyz?
Merlyn: and the terrible news drought continues
Merlyn: nope tween
cease2: news drought?
LiberTweenian: Of only Texas had a news dought instead of the real kind
cease2: they have books coming out and should be on tour in november. that's fucking news
Merlyn: nobody typing anything for a while, cat
LiberTweenian: kewl :)
cease2: its hard for me to type on this laptop thingie but i can still type, sort of
lanwyd: books coming out? that IS news
cease2: no keyboard, just this built in keyboard which i find very hard to use
LiberTweenian: Hi LL
cease2: yes, finally the anythinge you want to book and another book of scripts
LiberTweenian: A regular size USB keyboard and mouse would be very cheep
cease2: ossie seemed very jazzedd about the scripts book
cease2: i did buy a keyboard for it, but no place to put it
Dexter Fong: You should buy a table then
lanwyd: I ordered the original Anythynge You Want To script from the Young Tom Edison Club back around 1977
lanwyd: I still have it
cease2: i'm using this laptop on top of a filing cabinet
Dexter Fong: Did you get it?
cease2: i think this script will be the foot noted script the guys have been working on forever
lanwyd: yeah, dex. I got it very shortly after I ordered it
LiberTweenian imagines cease in the lotus position on top of a filing cabinet
lanwyd: with a little note from Elmo Firesign thanking me for the order
cease2: not that dexterous, tween
cease2: ossie told me they were going to play portland. ive never been there, might go
cease2: i was planning to go to see them in kirkland, but may not
LiberTweenian: Well folks, Governor Rick Perry has thrown his hat into the Presidential ring, so you may yet have a second opportunity to experience Texas Government In Action on the federal level
Dexter Fong: Tween: Is he a Tea Bagger?
LiberTweenian: Time once again to get out the Papoon campaign memorabilia
LiberTweenian: No, more a Christian Conservative, but anyone who runs for the Republican nominatiuon will have to have the backing fof the tea party types
LiberTweenian: I like Ron Paul, but then I got bit by the Libertarian bug a few years back
lanwyd: you think obama will be re-elected?
Merlyn: I foresee a new political party in the US -- the teetotalers
lanwyd: if I were registered with any party I'd be libertarian
LiberTweenian: If the economy doesn't improve dramatically (and I think it will get much worse), I sould say no
Dexter Fong: llan: It quite possible the republicans will destroy them selves in the primaries and scare everybody into voting democrat
LiberTweenian: "Elect us. At least we're sober..."
cease2: was that before pro-inhibition?
lanwyd: I think the republican party will be replaced by the libertarian party someday
LiberTweenian: That could happen as well, Dex. There are some real clowns in the crowd
lanwyd: maybe not in my lifetime
cease2: dex, thats what bergman predicted. shows how wrong he can be
Dexter Fong: when did he predict that
LiberTweenian: Well, Dr. Paul might attract some Democrats vecause of his anti-war/anti-imperialism stance
cease2: we have a right winhg govt and you have a right wing congress. same thing
LiberTweenian: *because
cease2: which is odd as canada is basicaly a left wing country
lanwyd: I've been following ron paul throughout his entire career
lanwyd: I wish he stood a chance
Merlyn: "hey"
LiberTweenian: His books are very good. Have you read Manifesto and End The Fed?
lanwyd: I've only voted for a third party candidate once. perot in 92
Merlyn: that was a test, my last entry in quotes vanished mysteriously
lanwyd: that was a mistake
lanwyd: and I almost voted for john anderson in 1980
LiberTweenian wonders what a Canadian 'conservative socialist' would look like
LiberTweenian: like the servants?
lanwyd: I must admit I haven't read his books
LiberTweenian: You should give them a try. I'm sure your local library has them. He defines his brand of Libertarianism very well. Lots of common sense.
LiberTweenian: He's been defined by many as a Libertarian Constituionalist, which is a concept I like.
lanwyd: the government that governs least governs best
cease2: speaking of socialists, tommy douglas, who was the socialist premier of sask when i was born there long ago, was hounded by the mountiies during his lifetime. the supreme court today insisted the govt declassify the mounti'es files on tommy but the govt refuses
LiberTweenian: in a nutshell
cease2: our"govt" doesnt even obey the laws of the country. its hardly conservative in any sense
Dexter Fong: That's right, keep things in the hands of the bank and wall street
lanwyd: I actually prefer the ancient greek system of "self government"
LiberTweenian: I suppose the Mountie's hands aren't any cleaner than those of the FBI
Dexter Fong: How many slaves do you have, llan?
cease2: its thanks to tommy that my country isnt entirely in the hands of wall street, though our current govt wants to change that
cease2: no, police systems are inherently corrupt
LiberTweenian: Gerald Celente has proposed that we adobt a system of direct elections, as the Swiss have
cease2: we used to feature celente a lot in adbusters
lanwyd: what is a "direct election"?
Merlyn: as opposed to a parliamentary system
LiberTweenian: Have you visited the Campaign For Liberty web site?
cease2: the actors elect the director
Merlyn: parliament decides on the PM
Merlyn: or the AM
lanwyd: lol
Dexter Fong: bUT THE ACTORS ARE CHOSEN BY THE PRODUCER
cease2: in theory
Merlyn: I think it would be the actors are chosen by the audience
Dexter Fong: Who wants attend auditions
Merlyn: so politics is like "Whose line is it, anyway?"
LiberTweenian: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Switzerland
lanwyd: I directed a very anarchistic group of actors onstage once
cease2: that must have been difficult, llan
lanwyd: it all started because I wanted it to be a group effort but some of them wanted to direct me
Dexter Fong: Turnabout and all that
cease2: sounds like something from a coke commercial, merl
Merlyn: turn it into a play-within-a-play, with rent-to-own
lanwyd: I was really stressed out that year (1999). I was in a horrible version of what I now call the scottish play at the same time I was directing this other production
lanwyd: when it was all over I ended the millenium on a triumphant note by appearing in a very outstanding version of King Lear
cease2: have any of you seen the Taking of Power by Louis XIV
LiberTweenian: cool
cease2: a rosselini flick from 66
LiberTweenian: brb
cease2: new yorker reccommended it so i rented it, will watch tonight
||||||||| "9:44 PM? I'm late!" exclaims LiberTweenian, who then scurries out through the french doors and down through the brambles.
lanwyd: I have only seen rosselini's war trilogy
||||||||| 9:44 PM: LiberTweenian jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past hour!"
cease2: i dont think i've seen any
lanwyd: the war trilogy is great but the first in the series, Open City, is the best
Dexter Fong: wb tween
cease2: heard of it
LiberTweenian: FF doing some strange things with the tabs
Merlyn: firefox acting up?
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 9:47 PM and ahClem bounds out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
lanwyd: Hey, Clem!
cease2: it's clem
LiberTweenian: Howdy, clem
Merlyn: is this a different clem?
cease2: a grape from ancient greece. now we can make retsina!
LiberTweenian: Yeah, it's not restoring the tabs when swicthing out of full screen mode
Merlyn: hmm, probably not the PHP code then tween...
ahClem: I've been gone for a few months but I feel fine
cease2: good for you, clem
Merlyn: good to hyar
LiberTweenian: No Merl, it's in other windows as well
LiberTweenian: Not something you're doing
cease2: how is bambi?
ahClem: This doesn't scale well on an iPad. I can't tell my ACsfrom my DCs
Dexter Fong: Hi clem
Merlyn: you can config a few things if you work at it, clem, like the number of lines of text shown
ahClem: Yeah. Ipad no liky. Back to the shadows!!
||||||||| At 9:56 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, ahClem!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| Catherwood ushers ahClem inside, makes a note of the time (9:57 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
Dexter Fong: Is anyone else having problems with very delayed data transmission?
cease2: not that i know of, but strange computer
Merlyn: seems ok to me dex
cease2: is clem on an ipad?
cease2: austin was on ipad the last couple of times he was here
cease2: not very happy about the interface, as i recall
Merlyn: sounded like it, car
Merlyn: cat*
Merlyn: can you plug in a keyboard?
cease2: i'm lucky my name isn't car, my dad being a car dealer and all
cease2: yes merl
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Merlyn: New Futurama on
cease2: i am going to have to sart watching that, merl
lanwyd: I thought Bronfman was the only car dealer in yorkton
cease2: 80 years ago, yes

cease2: by llan
||||||||| At 10:17 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, lanwyd!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
||||||||| Outside, the 10:17 PM bus from Elmertown pulls away, leaving H. Stones coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Bunnyboy: nite llan!
H. Stones: i am back
ahClem: So, there's a radio station across the street from my house and I'm watching a guy pull a full sized acoustic bass out of a Mini Cooper
Dexter Fong: and wreathed in diesel fumes
H. Stones: making tea if anyone would like a cup

H. Stones: does it come in a sock

H. Stones: no thats more like fish

Tor Hershman: But really, check me blog to see the police misconduct report I filed. http://torhershman.blogspot.com/ It's a real Hoot, really.
Bunnyboy: My periodontist gave me a cool T-Shirt, after my final implant checkup. It had his cool, Leonardo da Vinci biz design (the naked guy with 4 arms and 4 legs) on the back...
Bunnyboy: And, in stark white letters, on the front: ASK ME ABOUT IMPLANTS.
Bunnyboy: What a bummer.

PrincipalPoop: you really filed it? it was nice knowing you tor...

||||||||| At 10:40 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Merlyn!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
Elayne: Bye Brian!
LiberTweenian: Google never lies, and it's always right
ahClem: Ouch!
Tor Hershman: It's a lot less trouble when you have zero fear of death

Tor Hershman: Hey, I ain't lapsed anyone in years. *sound of Mrs, H. say 'thank goodness'*
Bunnyboy: Neat 4 pack! The thing that I keep running into with the "plex" releases is the "got 1 or 2 of the 4 already" quandry.
Tor Hershman: A hoot, ain't it, H.
H. Stones: well it is the riot season now
cease2: as for history, i've read vast amounts. i';d reccommend anything by barbara tuchman
Tor Hershman: It's been a riot for moi for years & years & years
