||||||||| 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 September 22, 2011 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 2:26 PM, dragging Wonder Widget by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this web surfer?"
Wonder Widget :
||||||||| Wonder Widget says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, Wonder Widget exits at 2:27 PM.
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, September 22, 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?"
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and intones "Presenting 'Dexter Fong', just granted probation at 9:01 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
||||||||| "9:01 PM? 9:01 PM!!" says Catherwood, "cease should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as cease enters and sits at the bar.

llanwydd: what's wrong with this one?
Dexter Fong: 42nd and First Avenue, E
Elayne: That's not just silly, Dex, that's bloomin' ridiculous.
Elayne: Traffic's been snarled at a standstill, and passengers are snarling as well.
Principalpoop: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.humor.best-of-usenet/browse_thread/thread/1592089a9a49e786#

Elayne: Wait till he hits the Laugh Factory.
Elayne: No Cat, I haven't been to Montreal in ages, and never for a comic book con.
Elayne: Robin and I don't travel to cons, the way I used to with Steve. For Robin it's work, and the layout of $$ isn't worth the return on investment.

Dexter Fong: or Poop: Buddy Holly
cease: honeydripper is set in harmony, alabama in 1950. fictional story, i assume

Elayne: Oh, hi Tom!
cease: thatr would be in the uk section
Elayne: Would you be upset if I said I liked the old one a bit better?
doctecazoid: there is a push from above to get the home page looking cleaner and easier to navigate than the cork board that's there now

Principalpoop: i clicked a whole bunch of things doc, and everything working fine I tried, cool

Dexter Fong: Looks ok to me Doc
doctecazoid: it's work in progress, not the final version but the direction is there
doctecazoid: btw keep hitting reload and note the change to the tag line above the logo, the logo font, and the background color
Elayne: Okay, here's my Silly Site: http://penflakes.com/flakepad/
doctecazoid: quite a nice page there e
Elayne: Tom, how's the sitting going?
Principalpoop: good one E
doctecazoid: e: i'm on the couch now, laptop in lap ... discomfort decreases with each passing day
Dexter Fong: Yeah, Doc, can you stand sitting now?
cease: good direction to go
doctecazoid: it'll take some time before i'm 100%, but i'm heading in the right direction
Principalpoop: cool taglines font and background change subtle, which is ok
Bunnyboy: doc: I would recommend ditching the hotlink to Adobe. If the end user doesn't have Flash, they'll generally be prompted to download it, anyway.
doctecazoid: the tag line file has 72 tag lines in it - so far
Elayne: Very good news indeed, Tom.
Principalpoop: horsey time soon, goody
doctecazoid: bb: good point thanks
Elayne: I think I'm going to fade out of here, folks. Vacay next week (okay, half of next week), so I'll see you from... well, from here, actually, I'm not going anywhere on vacation...
Dexter Fong: Tag! You're it! No touchbacks
||||||||| "10:16 PM? I'm late!" exclaims Elayne, who then hurries out through the french doors and down through the brambles.
Principalpoop: have fun relaxing
Bunnyboy: "Oh, so this is the Flash FST site I've heard about for generations. Whu...?!? Ad-O-beeeee?!?!?"
||||||||| Catherwood ushers H Stones in through the front door at 10:16 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
cease: by el
Bunnyboy: hiya Hemmie!
Principalpoop: finally the return of his highness
cease: hi hemy
Dexter Fong: i there Stones, good to see you
H Stones: lol
doctecazoid: bb: i guess it's time. when brian did the flash stuff for the site, flash was not as widely adopted as it is now
H Stones: nice to see you, to see you nice!
Principalpoop: how nice of you say that
doctecazoid: so he was good about doing up both flash and non flash pages
Dexter Fong: What??????
doctecazoid: but, what about the ipad users? we'd need to accommodate them as well
Dexter Fong: and what about the crashpad users?
Principalpoop: and my cellphone app for it
doctecazoid: i'll need to see if there's some javascript or other code that can detect if flash is installed and display the approproate content accordingly
H Stones: but what about those who still use a piece of slate and a stick of chalk
Bunnyboy: So, are we finally gonna see Young Guy in 1080p?
Dexter Fong: Or a hammer, chisel, and rock?
doctecazoid: there should probably be a mobile version of the site too - thinking about that, and the work involved to make that happen, makes my head hurt
H Stones: those were the days
Dexter Fong: Bunny: Not to be torturing me!
doctecazoid: if they're using a slate, they can go to slate.com for the chalk
Principalpoop: how do I sign up for the snail mail catalog mailing list?
H Stones: by telephone i guess as a compromise

Bunnyboy: iNY MUSH?

Bunnyboy: But real nickels. No slugs!
Principalpoop: really stones? you just got here
Bunnyboy: The ole shell game...

Dexter Fong: You'd think with all the rain, that underground city would be under water

Dexter Fong: Cat: Tween lives *in spite* of pERRY
LiberTweenian: Rick Perry isn't much better than Bush
H Stones: surely everyone has to be at least a little better than bush
LiberTweenian: he can speak English reasonably well, but I don't see much difference otherwise
LiberTweenian: about the size of it, Dex ;)
Dexter Fong: Tween: He's much worse....bush had trouble paying attention, Perry is an entirely self=scripted politico
LiberTweenian: Well, there is that :/
LiberTweenian: He's much slicker, for sure
LiberTweenian: Needless to say, I find Ron Paul to be a very refreshing change
H Stones: all the more remarkable for a Republican

cease: wasnt it pt barnum, or mencken who said no one ever lost a dime betting against the stupidity of the american people
Dexter Fong: Really Tween? I found his remarks about a 30 yearold with cancer and no health insurance, to be a recognizable change, but hardly refreshing
LiberTweenian: Don't know that story
LiberTweenian: Ron Paul is not only extremely intelligent and well informed, but he's stuck to his principles over the years
Dexter Fong: he was asked aboaut such a scenario on a debate and after much hawing and hemming said, Let him die to the vast cheers and laughter of the republicans attending this little clambake
LiberTweenian: One of only a couple of Congressmen who would not sign the Patriot Act
LiberTweenian: Wow, if you've got a source for that I'd love to have it

LiberTweenian: You were on Nam?
Dexter Fong: Aren't they called the Blue Devils?
LiberTweenian: *in Nam
Dexter Fong: Me personally, I wasn't on Nam as you so quaintly phrase it, but I cut orders on a lot of cooks, MPs, and Air Defense guys who were sent there
