||||||||| 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 18, 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 disembarks at 8:00 AM.
Son of Firesign: Know business like show business, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood strides alongside Son of Firesign and asks "Did you want something?"
Son of Firesign: Strike this input from the archive only if necessary, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood steps alongside Son of Firesign and mumbles "Typing my name just to rile me, eh?"
Son of Firesign: Get ready to go on the air live, Catherwood, and get a grip.
||||||||| Catherwood gets a grip.
Son of Firesign:

||||||||| "8:03 AM? I'm late!" exclaims Son of Firesign, 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, August 18, 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?"
||||||||| chat enters at 9:00 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and scurries off to the Haberdashery Barn.
chat: you're not my son.
chat: not even my moon
||||||||| Outside, the 9:04 PM bus from Hellmouth pulls away, leaving llanwydd coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
llanwydd: good evening, chat

||||||||| AugustusTweezer waltzes in at 9:15 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
llanwydd: I've been studying spanish guitar

||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Dexter Fong inside, makes a note of the time (9:19 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
llanwydd: Hey Dex
AugustusTweezer: Over 100 for months on end, and no rain
AugustusTweezer: It'

llanwydd: there was a documentary about street crime in vancouver. I don't remember what channel

Dexter Fong: llan: The saying goes, when you get sick in Fla, don't call a doctor, call an airline
||||||||| "9:33 PM? 9:33 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Principalpoop should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Principalpoop enters and sits in front of the fireplace.
llanwydd: LOL, Dex
chat: if live to be dex's age, the fact that i'm a few seconds by ambulence from the hosp[ital makes a lotf sense
Dexter Fong: Hey poop
chat: and no dollars at all
Principalpoop: hola
AugustusTweezer: lol Dex
llanwydd: Princi... how do
chat: whole, ah? poop
AugustusTweezer: You would think that a state with the geriatric population of Florida would have great medical care

Principalpoop: too cold in cah nah dah

Principalpoop: flamingos, ahh they gots lots of stuff there
Principalpoop: who was sick in florida?
llanwydd: the flamingo and the pelican
Principalpoop: why talking about that?

Principalpoop: yes pelicans too
Principalpoop: imagine having no lips, what a gyp
llanwydd: the subject simply arose, princ

llanwydd: yeah, that is one of the ellison stories I have read
Principalpoop: say no more say no more
chat: flamingo was bugsy spiegel's girlfriend, on whose legs modern las vegas is based
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and snorts derisively "Announcing 'Elayne', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:39 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the sitting room...
chat: intresting to see plaque dedicated to her among flamingos at her hotel
llanwydd: that and Repent, Harlequin which I don't remember well because I was very young
Elayne: Evenin' all!
Dexter Fong: Hi Elayne

Elayne: Cat, what happened to "cease" this week?
Principalpoop: il est french canadian cette week
Elayne: Yeah, fucking assholes swear like bloody sailors...
llanwydd: do not adjust your cette
Principalpoop: my grandmother used to speak of dirty buggers hehe
Principalpoop: voila
Elayne: Oh, swearing in British is so much more fun than in English.
Elayne: I mean, American English.
Principalpoop: americans have an almost childlike simplicity, fong is dick wad, and dumb fuck
chat: http://films.nfb.ca/animation-express/
Principalpoop: almost makes no sense
Elayne: Although you can't give Americans the two-finger salute.
Dexter Fong: Why you callin' me names poop?
chat: hey el whenb i rented 2 dvds of this animation i thought of robin. i wnat you 2 to watch
Elayne: I did that once to teenaged boys and they thought I was too stupid to flip them the bird correctly.
Principalpoop: i could not call E those things, so I used you

AugustusTweezer: lol
AugustusTweezer: and Hi E
AugustusTweezer: Wish I could have seen the expressions on their faces, E

Elayne: Cool ad, Cat. I kinda want to see all of them.
Elayne: Hey Tween!
chat: right after i watched blue ray of benjamin button which i also enouyed, but it made me sad
chat: el, get out your best herbs, as we say around here
Elayne: Gee Cat, I'm surprised, a film about aging saddens you? :)
Elayne: My best herbs???
Elayne: What's that Vancouver-speak for?
chat: come again in srping is about the ultimate aging, as kind of is button
chat: when paprika came to van theatres, the local paper said, get out your best drugs.
chat: some of us just assume they are herbal rather than chemically produced, but i'ts a matter of personal taste, i guess
Principalpoop: cardamon
Dexter Fong: blazer
Elayne: Ah, you mean to watch the animations?
chat: if that is a factor, yes
llanwydd: cardamom is a spice, not an herb
Elayne: Robin is not an herbivore, I'm afraid.
Principalpoop: quite correct llan
Dexter Fong: cardooman is a sweater
chat: i got up early yest and watched buttonl. was saddened, but still sad from wathhing nfb shorts from the day before.
llanwydd: you can't make curry without it though
chat: then altered chemistry and went out and shot 120 pix in local area
Principalpoop: you are thinking of kashmir
Elayne: I have pretty much all the component spices for curry, but I'm still lazy and use curry powder instead.
chat: had a very positive reaction to watching and then taking images of beauty
Elayne: I don't think I've ever taken photographs in any sort of altered state.
llanwydd: yeah, you have to be in the cooking mode to make curry. its not easy
chat: it has done me a world of good, el
Principalpoop: what is that sauted onion, carrot and celery thing called? using that a lot lately
llanwydd: that's called mirepoix, Princ

||||||||| "9:53 PM? 9:53 PM!!" says Catherwood, "doctecazoid should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as doctecazoid enters and sits on the divan.
doctecazoid: oops hang on
Principalpoop: hey doc
||||||||| At 9:54 PM, doctecazoid vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
chat: hey el, i wanted robin to look at the drawing on sleeping betty. it certainly altered what i thought could be done with animation
Principalpoop: in and out
||||||||| catheterwook enters at 9:54 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and hurries off to the Chapeau Manger.
||||||||| "9:54 PM? I'm late!" exclaims catheterwook, who then runs out through the french doors and down through the garden.
chat: hey doc, we were just talking about the great images we'll eventualy make
||||||||| Catherwood escorts catheterwood in through the front door at 9:54 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
catheterwood: there
Dexter Fong: Hey Doc, how you feeling?
Principalpoop: so, how did it go? did your keister fall off?
llanwydd: good evening, catheterwood
catheterwood: only on tv
chat: http://films.nfb.ca/animation-express/
llanwydd: good evening, doc
catheterwood: lemme check (feels head, shoulders, knees) ... yup, i'm here
chat: who's that man with the healthiest prostratge in town? why, it's doc tech!
catheterwood: i'm chatting via a laptop from my bed tonight
Elayne: Tom! Tom! How are you????
catheterwood: as sitting upright is not an option at present
Principalpoop: hehe what are you wearing? hehe
Principalpoop: you don't want to play horseyboy on my knee?
Elayne: And seriously, you're Firesign-chatting instead of recuperating? Priorities, man! :)
catheterwood: i can lie in bed, and i can also stand and walk - in fact when they discharged me, they said i should take walks and wander around the house as much as i can handle
catheterwood: i took a 20 minute walk around the neighborhood tuesday and wednesday, 35 mins today
Elayne: Wow, that's terrific, Tom!
Principalpoop: humor is part of recuperating, already everybody, be funny, now
chat: wow
catheterwood: part of my recuperation theray is not getting bored - hence the laptop
AugustusTweezer: Glad to hear, Doc
chat: ok, i got some funny pills here somewhre
catheterwood: therapy
Principalpoop: already up and around, good for you, now try fiber hehe
catheterwood: i have vicodins - though i'm down to taking one a day instead of the one every 5-6 hrs
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Principalpoop: super
catheterwood: believe me, one of the reasons i cut back on the vicodins is their tendency to back me up
Elayne: Okay Tom, you can try these to keep from getting bored: http://www.theawl.com/2011/08/how-facebook-works-in-real-english
Elayne: No sorry, that was yesterday's site. Here's today's: http://spikedmath.com/401.html
catheterwood: thanks e
catheterwood: the movie title rebus is brilliant - thanks for that!
Principalpoop: made my brain hurt
catheterwood: hey this week while laid up i finished some work on the firesign site - an update to the "albums" section
Principalpoop: too many years since I looked at a formula
Elayne: I dedicated it, today's Silly Site, to you on my blog. And plugged the chat, of course.
catheterwood: https://firesigntheatrelegacy.com/media/media.php?item=wfte
catheterwood: this will get you started in the cycle
catheterwood: briam's montage links go to this new php script
catheterwood: brian
catheterwood: the 'about us' and group member bio pages also follow the page format
chat: how long are you in recovery mode, doc?
Elayne: Wow, very spiffy indeed!
catheterwood: https://firesigntheatrelegacy.com/media/media.php?member=all
catheterwood: and the 'latest releases' and other funway links are now re-done in this format...
catheterwood: https://firesigntheatrelegacy.com/media/index.php
catheterwood: if you all would not mind, please peruse these pages and the links therein - let me know if you find any problems'
Elayne: Ooh, I'm bookmarking that one!
catheterwood: send your feedback to doctec2 at gee-mail dot com (or something like it)
Elayne: I like the color scheme on "member-all"
Elayne: I like that you've centered it, browsers are so many different widths nowadays!
chat: i had physical this week and was pronounced in excellent health. then f and i had eye exams and i was also assured my eyes were the same as last year
Elayne: Type's a little small for me, but I'm so very, very old. You have to watch font size if you're doing any itelics or script fonts.
Elayne: Great news, Cat!
chat: so i can't pretend to be a deteriorating old man anymore
Elayne: I was just going to say, Cat. Glad you're living again and not dying.
Elayne: Of course, I die every night.
chat: thatr realy invigorates me el, i thought i was going down hill but that is not the case
Principalpoop: skydiving next or what cat?
Dexter Fong: The horizon is just going up
catheterwood: what is worse: going downhill or not moving at all?
chat: the tai chi i've been doing the last year seems to work. i just have to work on blooid sugar issues
Dexter Fong: Nothing happens until something moves
Principalpoop: smoking a lot of tai chi huh, cool
chat: like replacing white sugar pizza with whole wheat pizza, etc
catheterwood: well at least my blood pressure is a lot better since i cut back on the alcohol
chat: anyway, i'm really up about this
Elayne: Cat, if you want any advice re lowering blood sugar, I have plenty. First: cut out potatoes. Second: cut out fruit juice.
Principalpoop: have not seen tai sticks for years
Elayne: Those two changes alone should help lower it a lot.
chat: my doc told me that. i love both
Principalpoop: no sangria? lordy cease
catheterwood: the recuperation will be between 2 & 3 weeks. frankly with as much progress as i'm making, i feel like it will be more on the 2 side.
AugustusTweezer: Cool that you're into Tai Chi, cease
Elayne: I drink mostly water now, no more fruit juice, and my numbers are pretty good. 103 this evening.
chat: yeah i'm scouting out beverages that arent full of sugar. not easy but i can do it
AugustusTweezer: That's great, Doc
chat: last aug there was an item on the news about natrional tai chi month and ht eexercises looked easy
Elayne: Water, Cat. Seriously. Get flavoured water if you want, but water. You'll find you don't miss the juice most of the time.
Principalpoop: don't get rambunctious doc, let yourself heal
catheterwood: e: what do you think of the vitamin water zero drinks? i've become a big fan of them since i stopped drinking soda
chat: so i rented a dvd and have been doing the exercies since then.
Elayne: Same with potatoes. Substitute sweet potatoes and sweet potato fries.
catheterwood: they're not sweet enough for me, so i throw in a splenda packet
chat: our house has far too many stairs so i have to help my knees
Elayne: I tried Vitamin Water Zero a couple of times and it turned my pee a different color, so I tend to be biased against. :)
catheterwood: i suppose that's blasphemy - sue me
chat: i loathe sweet potates, el
AugustusTweezer: You're not taking classes, cease?
Principalpoop: try yams
Elayne: Well, check on other low-glycemic index veggies. Potatoes are a very high GI.
chat: the doc told me to avoid white bread. i said i havent eaten it since 1977. then he said dont eat hwite rice i havent since 86
catheterwood: the lemonade has a whitish color, your pee should not be altered
chat: then he said no sweets and i dont llike sweets
Elayne: Here's a few lists, Cat: http://www.themarysue.com/things-we-saw-today-movie-titles-expressed-with-math-equations/
Elayne: Damn, that didn't work...
Elayne: Hang on
chat: yes he told me to avoid potatoes so i will. must find replacesment that tastes as good
Elayne: http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm - there.
AugustusTweezer: cease - sounds like that Mark Twain bit about the old lady who had no bad habits
Elayne: Tom, it was blue. :)
AugustusTweezer: "She was like a sinking ship with nothing to throw overboard"
llanwydd: not familiar with that story tween
Dexter Fong: Elayne: Sounds like you drank a home pregnancy test
Elayne: Sorry Cat, I keep forgetting it's "command-C" on this Mac to copy text, not "control-C" like I do on my PC at work.
chat: thanks el
AugustusTweezer: It's one Hal Holbrooke told in one of his concerts
catheterwood: you say cmd-c, and i say ctrl-c...
chat: potatoes a big part of my diet. i must change that
AugustusTweezer: Holbrooke did a wonderful job with Twain - Mark Twain Tonight it was called
Principalpoop: that happened to me with blue champagne 31 flavors ice cream, except it was not the pee that changed color
llanwydd: ah, yes holbrook played twain, I remember

AugustusTweezer: A healthy body with the wisdom of years is preferrable, imho
