||||||||| 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 29, 2011 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood sneaks into the room, and snorts derisively "Announcing 'Dexter Fong', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 4:15 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the sitting room...
Dexter Fong: I'm here early to say that I'll be late, but hopefully not absent.
||||||||| It's 4:40 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Dexter Fong - dead from jaundice
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| "8:57 PM? 8:57 PM!!" says Catherwood, "cease should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as cease enters and sits in front of the fireplace.
cease: better late than never
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, September 29, 2011 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
||||||||| Travellin'Tweeny steals in around 9:05 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last night's "unpleasant incident."
Travellin'Tweeny: Hey cease
cease: hi tween
cease: how are things in austin?
Travellin'Tweeny: Did you see that I played How Time Flys Wednesday evening?
cease: good for you, tween
Travellin'Tweeny: Still hot, and no rain
Travellin'Tweeny: Temps should cool a bit the next few days
Travellin'Tweeny: and you?
||||||||| Catherwood enters with llanwydd close behind, mumbles something about disrupting his 9:08 PM tree-stunting plans, and runs off to the vestibule.
llanwydd: hi
Travellin'Tweeny: Hey LL
cease: great here
cease: hi llan
cease: i love fall, when it's not raining
llanwydd: starting to cool off a bit in fl
Travellin'Tweeny: Looking for a new apartment, hence the 'traveling' motif
Travellin'Tweeny: My favorite time of year as well, usually
llanwydd: this is one of the few falls I am going to miss. we don't have them here
Travellin'Tweeny: Nothing like New England in the Fall
cease: yes, i dont suppose you do
llanwydd: yeah, I'm going to miss it
llanwydd: we don't have maples and oaks
Travellin'Tweeny: Apparently the Texas Lege has cut the budget so we're down to two seasons
llanwydd: we have palms and "live oaks". green and brown
cease: i love the cooler air, though it wasn't really very warm here all summer
Travellin'Tweeny: We have Live Oaks, but nothing like the color up North
cease: i dont know if its chemical or just a long history or pleasent memories from this season
llanwydd: so, did you hear the light barrier has finally been broken?
llanwydd: I knew nothing was impossible
cease: yes
Travellin'Tweeny: I've been teasing the folks in VA about all the rain they're getting. "What is this strange thing you call 'rain'?" lol
cease: i'd like to see them repeat the experiment
Travellin'Tweeny: Experiment? But, all you have to do is put the balls on the other side...
Travellin'Tweeny: You mean the 'speed of light' deal?
llanwydd: lol
llanwydd: yeah, the neutrino experiment
Travellin'Tweeny: That would be very cool
llanwydd: so, neutrinos must have infinite mass
Travellin'Tweeny: Cochran's Folly may not be so far-fetched after all
cease: i think the speed of light barrier is going to have to come down if interstellar travel can occur
llanwydd: or greater than infinite
Travellin'Tweeny: I have no idea about the physics of such a possibility
cease: that's an interesting number, llan
llanwydd: yeah, unless there is anything to the wormhole theory
cease: infinity plus one. does good things to my brain
Travellin'Tweeny: hehe
llanwydd: well, I have read that for anything to travel at the speed of light would require an infinite amount of energy to propel it and would raise its mass to an infinity
cease: maybe that really isn't the case after all
Travellin'Tweeny: They said the sound barrier couldn't be broken for similar reasons. We won't know until we try it
cease: i remember having to memorize stuff for high school physics that are now known as wrong
Travellin'Tweeny: You bet, cease
cease: in search of ice cubes.
llanwydd: you took physics. I didn't even pass algebra
llanwydd: I developed an interest in mathematics long after high school
llanwydd: ice cubes?
cease: cant drink a cold glass of sangria without them
llanwydd: aha
cease: i always liked math
cease: married a math teacher
llanwydd: I'm listening to the neutrino story on npr right now
Travellin'Tweeny: Math's good push-ups for the brain. OGG like!
cease: i got excited by science when sputnik happened and suddenly science was taught in a very intersting manner in my elelmentary school in la
llanwydd: I don't remember sputnik
llanwydd: I can remember back as far as Apollo 8
cease: making things is a lot of fun when you're a kid. i remember making a slide projector in 3rd grade
llanwydd: I don't have fond memories of 3rd grade
llanwydd: 1969/70
cease: i loved 3rd grade. it turned me on to Egypt, for one thing, and then the Dodgers beat the White Sox in the world series
cease: our home room teacher brought in a transistor radio so we could all hear the games
llanwydd: BRB
cease: 1959
Travellin'Tweeny: 3rd grade for me was '63
llanwydd: I had three teachers in 3rd grade
cease: before, school was really boring. dick and jane ad nauseum
llanwydd: one of them really hated me
Travellin'Tweeny: The school speaker system announced, "The President has been shot."
cease: it was also the year i started writing plays.
Travellin'Tweeny: 1/2 hour later, "The President is dead."
cease: i was in 8th grade, metal shop, which i loathed, when i heard that announcement, tween
llanwydd: just like that tween? so bluntly?
Travellin'Tweeny: The teachers were freaked
Travellin'Tweeny: Yeah, just like that
cease: we were told to report to the auditorium, where the news was made
llanwydd: well, I was born during the kennedy administration so I don't remember
cease: anything to get out of metal shop
llanwydd: even my parents don't remember where I was although I was probably with my grandmother
Travellin'Tweeny: I'm sure the Principal said something about an 'important announcement', but it was that stark
cease: sounds like Dwarf
Travellin'Tweeny: if only
Travellin'Tweeny: Funny you should bring it up, since I'm watching a Kristofferson movie called "Flashpoint' about the cover-up
Travellin'Tweeny: as the Police album was titled, Synchronicity
llanwydd: I've read very extensively about all the conspiracy theories. I think it will all come out one day
cease: good song, even better idea
Travellin'Tweeny: Good album in general
cease: i had a wonderful episode of synchronicity happen to me in japan once
Travellin'Tweeny: White rockers doing reggae
Travellin'Tweeny: Do tell
cease: a friend had given me a cassette of an abbot and costella radio show which i was listening
cease: the story had lou inheriting a gold mine from his uncle in alaska.
cease: the boys went to alaska and rented a dog sled to take them to the mine.
Travellin'Tweeny: at least it wasn't shares in a Beefsteak Mine ;)
Travellin'Tweeny: _a_ dog?
cease: as soon as lou said "mush" to his dogs, outside my window, a man in a wheel chair went by being pulled by his dog
Travellin'Tweeny: Ah, dog sled with a team
cease: that is synchronicity
Travellin'Tweeny: lol
llanwydd: lol
Travellin'Tweeny: Yes, yes it is
llanwydd: about ten years ago I was walking down a busy street while I was thinking about a stage actress I used to work with and just suddenly came nose to nose with her after about five years
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 9:40 PM and Son of Firesign waltzes out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
llanwydd: I called that synchronicity
cease: very synchy
cease: hi son
cease: how's daughter?
llanwydd: anybody we know?
Son of Firesign: Heard any good ringtones lately, Catherwood?
||||||||| Catherwood strides over to Son of Firesign and says "Stop typing gibberish, Son of Firesign!"
llanwydd: well, in any case, welcome to Firesign Chat
cease: maybe not true synch as you may have perceived her unconcsiously before running into her and thus began thinking about her slightly earlier
cease: but sychy enough
Son of Firesign: Do you have videos here, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood rushes over to Son of Firesign and queries "Typing my name just to rile me, eh?"
llanwydd: I'm Junger than that now
Son of Firesign: Rile away, Catherwood, tell me about it.
||||||||| Catherwood tells Son of Firesign about it.
cease: sounds like an old mccartney song
Travellin'Tweeny: So, _you're_ the Bride's offspring
llanwydd: I met a friend of mine and he did say...
Travellin'Tweeny: That's actually not a bad idea for an album title
Son of Firesign: I nearly ran over a jay walker, Catherwood, she stepped off the curb while I was making a right turn on a red light, very clean.
||||||||| Catherwood strides alongside Son of Firesign and asks "Did you need me?"
Travellin'Tweeny: Follow-up to Bride :)
cease: i think the tune was called Smile Away but it may be something else
llanwydd: probably the only song I didn't like on Ram
Travellin'Tweeny: Curb your turning, Son
Son of Firesign: She was young blonde average build and yelling you call the cops you call the cops right now, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood walks over to Son of Firesign and asks "Do you have something for me to do?"
cease: turn turn, to the rain and the wind
cease: great obscure tune called as i recall Percy's Song
llanwydd: 99 years he just don't deserve
Travellin'Tweeny: To every shellfish there is a seasoning, turn, turn
llanwydd: lol
cease: good memory, llan
Travellin'Tweeny: So SoF, from wherst doest thou hail? (Austin here)
Son of Firesign: I jumped out of my little red VW Beetle Bug, slug bug, the kids call them, and peeled her off the hood of the car which was only going two miles an hour and got out my telephone to obey her orders when she said, "No wait, I was jaywalking, I can't afford a ticket right now, Catherwood...
||||||||| Catherwood outs Son of Firesign's telephone to obey her orders when she said "no wait i was jaywalking i can't afford a ticket right.
cease: must be great to be that distant from alzheimer's
Travellin'Tweeny: lol
llanwydd: LOL
Travellin'Tweeny: Alzheimers ain't no joke
Son of Firesign: What a sigh of relief I had but ZI was delivering pizzas and we can't take breaks, people are hungry all night.
Travellin'Tweeny: but funny in context
llanwydd: SoF you are doing strange things to catherwood
||||||||| Catherwood steps up to llanwydd and mumbles "My ears are burning..."
Travellin'Tweeny: Do you deliver to the hills, SoF?
cease: i think my mother is more amused and benefited by her alzheimer's than i would have thought possible
Travellin'Tweeny: Catherwood, please give Son of Firesign a pizza with no anchovies
||||||||| Catherwood brings son of firesign a pizza with no anchovies.
llanwydd: not in sector R, Tween
cease: maybe son would rather have an anchovie with no pizza
llanwydd: a little flat thing with eyes
Son of Firesign: So I said, "Miss, you're broke?" I was doing good in tips so I said, as I was prepared to bribe her anyway, "Would you like twenty dollars?", Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood walks over to Son of Firesign and asks "Do you have something for me to do?"
Travellin'Tweeny: and she said, "A jackson, for me??"
Son of Firesign: And she said, "YES!", not that kind of yes, Catherwood, more like, well, okay.
||||||||| Catherwood walks alongside Son of Firesign and asks "Something I can help with?"
Travellin'Tweeny: "But, this looks nothing like my dear friend Andrew. Andrew doesn't moon walk..."
Son of Firesign: So I got back in the bug and she walked off into the night, mid america, just a fond memory of a kind of nice but a little bit strange summer, don't you think, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood walks up to Son of Firesign and asks "Do you have something for me to do?"
Travellin'Tweeny: He's never even met the Reverend
llanwydd: so where is everybody else? so fascinated with the neutrinos that they have to watch the news instead?
cease: good question, llan
llanwydd: is that a true story SoB
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and snorts derisively "Announcing 'Principalpoop', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:56 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the vestibule...
Son of Firesign: I do have a video for Mervin or Melin Leroy to consider pulling from the archive tonight, but it is mercifully short, or mercilessly if you know your way around short people, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood snubs Son of Firesign
Travellin'Tweeny: Catherwood, please give everyone a nutrino
||||||||| Catherwood brings everyone a nutrino.
llanwydd: oops. sorry. SoF
cease: although i would say attendence has been shrinking here
Principalpoop: no anchovies?
cease: and speaking of shrinkage, here's poop
Son of Firesign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwXFnVOMFAU This is what happens when you work 14000 accident free hours driving for a company and you spend the 100 bonus on software that "burns" music videos from itunes onto discs you can play on most (maybe some) DVD players to watch on TV. There's a trick to it I guess. It certainly gets tricky. The recording is from www.givethegiftcard.com Macerich American Express.
Principalpoop: what a horrible thing to say, shrinkage,
Principalpoop: what is this awful thing blinking on my screen?
cease: nothing horrible intended, poop. just mirth
Son of Firesign: You might want to go back to the intro page where you log in and view todays log to see the video uninterrupted, Catherwood.
||||||||| Catherwood brings to go back to the intro page where you log in and view todays log to see the video uninterrupted.
Principalpoop: fred mirth? where is ethel?
cease: she's hanging out with regular
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| Outside, the 10:00 PM uptown bus from Hellmouth pulls away, leaving doctecazoid coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Son of Firesign: Until next time, un centesimo de Balboa is a cent from Panama, Catherwood. I think that's an aztec on the coin, but he could be Panamanian, any day, or night. Don't think about it to long, Catherwood, especially at night.
||||||||| Catherwood says "It's 10:00 PM, on the dot!"
llanwydd: very good catherwood
||||||||| Catherwood snubs llanwydd
Principalpoop: no sugar tonight
llanwydd: Evening, doctecazoid
||||||||| Son of Firesign says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, Son of Firesign exits at 10:00 PM.
Travellin'Tweeny: Oh, Merlyn...
cease: hey it's doc
Travellin'Tweeny: Hey P, how's tricks
llanwydd: who was that masked man
Travellin'Tweeny: Hi Doc

Travellin'Tweeny: Lady? Is she looking for the secret massage?
Principalpoop: yes there is
doctecazoid: i'd prefer that the solution to the problem does not involve the use of Flash.
Travellin'Tweeny: an animated GIF, Doc?
doctecazoid: no, just a static image
Principalpoop: you are now embarked upon a journey that must certainly lead you to change your life forever
Travellin'Tweeny: I've never heard of an MP3 doing that, unless the link has javascript which plays the MP3 and simultaneously displays the picture
doctecazoid: well, either forever or for the time being - i'll take either
Travellin'Tweeny: My fav FST, P
Principalpoop: you have no way of knowing what program their pc uses to play the mp3, you must embed the click somehow
Travellin'Tweeny: "I swear to hell I saw it..." "That was no crazed sterno bum, but a respected law enforcement officer..."
Principalpoop: one of those werewolfs we're having

Travellin'Tweeny: It's a whole so big everybody will want to jump into it...
Travellin'Tweeny: mmmmm Zevon

Principalpoop: maybe it was Rand

Dexter Fong: llan: Yes I heard about the neutrinos
||||||||| Outside, the 10:15 PM bus from Billville pulls away, leaving Ah, Clem coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.

Travellin'Tweeny: Hello, 'ah, clem', and welcome to the simuholo
llanwydd: ok who's there?
