Archive

||||||||| 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 October 06, 2011 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood leads Janitor in through the front door at 11:53 AM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
Janitor: You people got trouble here? Well, I don’t know why you people seem to think this is magic. It’s just this little chromium switch here . . . [click] My, you people are so superstitious . . .
Janitor: O-o-o-ps!
||||||||| Janitor leaves at 11:54 AM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
||||||||| cease enters at 8:58 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and scurries off to the Haberdashery Barn.
cease: not That superstitious
||||||||| Dexter Fong sashays in at 8:59 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
cease: hi dex
Dexter Fong: Hi cat
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, October 06, 2011 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
cease: hi catherwood
||||||||| Catherwood strides alongside cease and inquires "Would you like something?"
cease: immortality would be nice
Dexter Fong: Chevere, Catherwood
||||||||| Catherwood pretends not to hear Dexter Fong
cease: sounds like a stevie wonder song
Dexter Fong: Check it out Jefe
cease: rats in the news, infesting stores
Dexter Fong: Alas, Nino is still unconscious
cease: thaknfully the place i had lunch at today wasn't rat in a box
cease: are you familiar with an obscure early firesign play called Profiles in BBQ Sauce?
Dexter Fong: Try rat a la maze, crispy corn kernels lightly sauteed with rat tails and dusted with rat hairs
cease: ossman mentioned it on this week's rfo episode.
cease: said he had just retyped the script. i've never heard it, just about it
Dexter Fong: Cat: Yeah, I've certainly heard of it and may have heard some or more of it over the years
cease: so i asked bergman on facebook if the firesign would offer it on their paid download site
Dexter Fong: Political commentary I assume?
cease: for the first time ever, bergman actually answered me.
Dexter Fong: whadhesay?
cease: i can believe winning a million dollar lottery (without having bought a ticket) more easily than i can imagine bergman actually answering me
cease: he said david wants that to happen, so things are looking good there
cease: ossman was raving about it on the show. it's the play where lbj kills rfk and it was broadcast shortly before rfk has killed
Dexter Fong: Do you have any solid info on how this download thing is gonna work, and the cost?
cease: i dont know where i was, but never heard the play
cease: doc willl know. he is setting it up
Dexter Fong: Cat: I think I've never heard Profiles or I'd certainly remember that =)
cease: doc asked me a few weeks ago what i'd like to hear and i said anything i havent heard
cease: good for you, dex
Dexter Fong: Indeed
cease: i think doc said in chat that they want to sell their most recent cds thru the download site
cease: wow, they're talking about turning one of our van bridges into a kind of skyline thing you have in nyc
cease: i'm watching van news and its about nyc now
Dexter Fong: The most interesting thing about NYCs skyline thingie is that it's about 2 to 3 storys high and runs right adjacent to a hotel where people rent rooms to have sex in to the delight, disgust, or whatever of the passing skyliners
||||||||| Catherwood ushers Principalpoop into the room, accepts a jar of pennies as a gratuity, mumbles something about 9:11 PM, then departs.
Dexter Fong: Hey Poop
Dexter Fong: Rah! Rah! Raw! It's poop
||||||||| Catherwood escorts Box of Tweenger inside, makes a note of the time (9:11 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
cease: hi poop
Box of Tweenger: Hey folks
Dexter Fong: Hey Tween
Principalpoop: an old woman called the police to complain about her neighbors having sex with the blinds up
cease: i saw a pbs thing about it. made me want to check it out
Principalpoop: the police and looked and could not see anything
Principalpoop: the old woman said, no no no, get up on the chair and use these binoculars...
cease: hey dex have you checket out the occupy wall street thing?
Dexter Fong: Show's over folks, nothing to see hear....move along
cease: i see it on tv here now.
cease: sparked by something of my old mag adbusters. amazing
Dexter Fong: Cat: If you mean have I allowed myself to actually walk among thm, no
Principalpoop: hi tween, cat, fong
cease: hi tween
Box of Tweenger: There will supposedly be a protest at the Dallas Fed tomorrow
Principalpoop: why not fongster? not hip enough for that?
Dexter Fong: Poop: I don't like crowds
cease: yet you live in nyc?
Principalpoop: goldman sacs holding your retirement funds? don't want to upset them?
Box of Tweenger: The Fed is the real problem, anyway. Nothing inherintly wrom with banking and stock trading
Dexter Fong: Did Times Square New Years eve once, never goin back
cease: that's like saying i hate sand, so i live in the desert
Principalpoop: i hate crowds too, it is ok to stay home
Dexter Fong: Don't start up Tweeny =)
Box of Tweenger: Dex is allergic to bully clubs and pepper spray
Box of Tweenger: *wrong
Principalpoop: sub-prime mortgages bundled into securities, that is perfect
Dexter Fong: Tween: Yes, wrong...that's What I'd say also
Box of Tweenger: Oh yeah, P. A real feat of genius
cease: Fumiyo also hates crowds but worked in a city with 33 million people
cease: crowds dont bother me at all
Box of Tweenger: and then rated AAA
Principalpoop: crowds did not bother me until the navy, they can run amok
Principalpoop: the market system is based on overcharging the customer and underpaying the workers, as much as humanly possible, nothing wrong with that
||||||||| 9:19 PM: Bunnyboy jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past hour!"
Dexter Fong: Cat: Those of us who really know the city know how to avoid all that crowding, for the most part
cease: hi bun
Principalpoop: hip hop bunny
Bunnyboy: Lo dere
cease: hows it hoppin, bun?
Bunnyboy: Onna bus. Late shifts, all October.
Box of Tweenger: Hey Bunny
Principalpoop: is that what they call street smarts fong?
cease: Oona has a bus?
Box of Tweenger: hehe
Principalpoop: oona twoa threea, tank you tank you tank you
cease: only time i'm uncomfortable in crowds is if i'm surrounded by a lot of hostile drunk young men. vegas, for example
Bunnyboy: L8r. Sardine can here.
Principalpoop: ciao bun
||||||||| Bunnyboy leaves to catch the 9:22 PM train to Hellmouth.
Principalpoop: moved from the bus to a train hehe
Box of Tweenger: Do you think prices and wages should be set by the government, like in the FDR & Nixon years P?
Principalpoop: no, taxes should be used to discourage abuse
Principalpoop: ceos used to make 10x the lowest worker wage, then 100, over 440 now
Principalpoop: where is the sense of proportion?
Box of Tweenger: Who sets the standards?
cease: yes i remember growing up in la where rich people weren't much richer than poor people
Principalpoop: i told you taxes, no standards for that
Box of Tweenger: Well, somebody has to set the tax rates
Box of Tweenger: All I know is, the next xouple of years are going to be very interesting
Principalpoop: that depends on the market.... if ceos got less and gave it to the shareholders maybe
Box of Tweenger: I thought you didn't like market-driven decisions ;)
Principalpoop: the top 4 percent own the football field of wealth, all the rest of us are inside the one yard line..
Dexter Fong: There's one less Jobs in dis country today
Principalpoop: taxes are part of the market
Box of Tweenger: No argument. How you fix that is the issue
Principalpoop: taxes, and really support education, don't fool around
Box of Tweenger: There was no income tax before 1913 (or Federal Reserve, which is not Federal, nor does it have a Reserve)
cease: i enjoy his products, but i can't help remembering Jobs from that time he sat next to me in a restaurant
cease: Same could be said of George Harrison and Richard Nixon, all i LA
Box of Tweenger: Oh? do tell cease
Principalpoop: yes, everyone should move back to a farm, grown their own food, and little extra to buy stuff
Dexter Fong: Tween: But there were all kinds of excise, import, and export taxes
cease: the jobs thing? i think i've told that story here a number of times
Principalpoop: instead of needing a job to survive
Box of Tweenger: He ordered the apple merangue?
cease: one of Fumiyo's friends gave us a gift coupon for a fish restaurant in the big park down town
Dexter Fong: Tell a vision! Tell a vision!
cease: we were looking at our menu when we noticed that steve jobs and a bunch of young men were sitting next to us
Principalpoop: what kind of fish eat there?
cease: steve was ordering from a wine list the size of a telephone book
cease: i guess the young men with him were his hot shot programmers
Dexter Fong: Operator, Trebbiano 621 please
||||||||| Merlyn enters at 9:31 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and hurries off to the Haberdashery Barn.
cease: as he had just taken them to a brothel in one of the islands off the coast of vancouver
Box of Tweenger: Hi Merl
Merlyn: Hey dere
Principalpoop: everybody should be clever entrpeneurs, go getters, lazy people must die
Dexter Fong: Hey Merlyn, welcome back =)
Principalpoop: hey M
Box of Tweenger: lol P
cease: the young men were very pleased with this bonus, while steve was raving about the chocolate viagra they were served before being "served" as it were
Box of Tweenger: Well, they can eat the rich, can't they P?
Box of Tweenger: omg cease
Dexter Fong: They're too lazy to properly cook them
cease: they talk about his wife and kids on the news. i wonder if she knew about his whoring around?
Box of Tweenger: lol Dex
Dexter Fong: She does now
cease: doesnt mean he didnt invent great machines
Box of Tweenger: hehe
Principalpoop: that is too much work to catch them
cease: there may be an apple vibrator in the near future
Principalpoop: he was indeed a game-changer, to use a pop phrase
cease: the i-fuck
Box of Tweenger: Well, just in case you want to look at some of the stuff I read: www.lewrockwell.com
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood intones: "9:34 PM and late as usual, it's llanwydd, just back from Funfun Town."
llanwydd: good evening
Dexter Fong: Hey, is thatta you fuck...it looks alike my fuck
Box of Tweenger: I daresay it will not suit your taste
Box of Tweenger: Hey LL
Dexter Fong: Hello llanwydd
Principalpoop: hi llan
Merlyn: hi llan
cease: hi llan, merl
cease: hey merl, any more news on firesign downloads?
Principalpoop: did he delete all the anti-homosexual articles from that site yet? I hope he got them all
Principalpoop: leaves a bad taste in your mouth to read that next to The Truth hehe
Dexter Fong: Poop: Who? Merlyn?
Principalpoop: lewrockwell
Principalpoop: why would I pick on M?
Box of Tweenger: I haven't read any ant-gay articles there
llanwydd: don't recognize that name
Dexter Fong: Oh...never mind
llanwydd: any relation to norman or george lincoln?
Dexter Fong: Nice double reference llan =))
Box of Tweenger: and I've been visiting for several years
Principalpoop: a new John Bircher, trying to be less hateful...
llanwydd: you've never seen the two together have you?
Box of Tweenger: There is lots of stuff I disagree with, but generally I like the Libertarian/Austrian Economics perspective
Principalpoop: norm, how is life treating norm?
Dexter Fong: Life is yet to pick up the bar tab
cease: speaking of tabs
llanwydd: maybe life is a temperance advocate
Box of Tweenger: Hate to tell you, but I even visit the New American (Bircher) web site on occasion. What I have in common with folks like Libertarians is their respect for The Constitution.
Box of Tweenger: What attracted me to Ron Paul in the first place
cease: my lunch today was paid for by the province's teacher's union
Dexter Fong: Tween: Which constitution and I mean that seriously
Principalpoop: sure tween ok
Box of Tweenger: Did you lecture, cease?
Box of Tweenger: Not sure what you mean, Dex
Box of Tweenger: The Articles of Confederation?
cease: no, i ate some pineapple crusted duck
Box of Tweenger: The Texas Constitution?
Principalpoop: spaghettios and that sweet green salad?
llanwydd: we've got the pta, you've got the ptu
Box of Tweenger: lol P
cease: my lunch companion is president of the union, an old friend.
Box of Tweenger: and for dessert, jello with carrot flakes
llanwydd: but they don't call it that
cease: i'm happy desert wasn't picket signs
Principalpoop: i miss the ice cream bars, but they were expensive, 10 cents
Box of Tweenger: Hey Mister Ice Cream Man...
Dexter Fong: What I'm getting at is,that as good and farseeing as our Constitution is, the writers could not possibly see all the changes that would occur, hence, the Constitution has to be construed by the Supreme Court
Box of Tweenger: I thought that was what the Amendment process was all about, Dex
cease: ive got a nickel. wait for me
||||||||| Catherwood escorts H Stones in through the front door at 9:44 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
Box of Tweenger: Nowhere does it say that the Supreme Court is the arbiter of Constitutional debate
llanwydd: Hey Stonesz
cease: hi stones
llanwydd: the z was aczidental
Box of Tweenger: Stones, my good man...
Principalpoop: 5 gets nothing, the little ice cream cup with a flat wooden spoon was 7 cents
Dexter Fong: Tween: YOu can't possibly have an ammendment for everything that the Supreme Court decides on
H Stones: Yabba dabba do !
cease: i discovered a face book page about valley restaurants
H Stones: dont underestimate the Tween
Principalpoop: How do you do your excellency?
cease: most people mentioned farells, and ice cream parlour i recall from the 60s
H Stones: Greetings Lord Poop, is Fong back from his demo?>
cease: i have to talk to honey about valley restaurants
Box of Tweenger: Didn't say you did. I said that the Amendment process was specifically designed to take into account the fact they they did not a crystal ball
cease: fong isn't a demon
Box of Tweenger: *not have

cease: i have that album somewhere. don't know where
Dexter Fong is pleasntly surprised that the rock and roll heart of Cat still faintly keeps the beat
Principalpoop: eat a peach was the album after he was killed by a peach truck, or is that urban legend?
llanwydd: probably the latter
cease: faintly
Dexter Fong: afkfr
Principalpoop: There ain't no revolution, it's evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace.
Principalpoop: it was a lumber truck
cease: ive never been to georgia but i've eaten lots of peaches
Principalpoop: that quote is from duane, that is the source of eat a peach...
llanwydd: I've been through GA plenty of times but I have no reason to "go" there
Principalpoop: a lot of red dirt
llanwydd: I had an interesting conversation with hare krishnas in the atlanta airport back in '81

Principalpoop: hare hare krishna krishna? krishna! hare hare? Hare Krishna lol
llanwydd: I can have an interesting conversation with anyone
H Stones: i didnt know they had learned to fly
llanwydd: I could keep a tree stump fascinated for hours
Principalpoop: they gave me a flower at LAX, but then wanted a donation, I gave it back..
H Stones: yes, llan, trees are good listeners
Dexter Fong sings "I talk to the trees, but they don' lissen to me"
Principalpoop: oaks better than elms or maples?
llanwydd: that's how they ended up in atlanta. they were ex-LAX
cease: yeah they list pretty good
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Dexter Fong: 10:01 I believe
Merlyn: If Robert Donat from The 39 Steps got charged, would that be a Donat ion?
H Stones: i believe the Figs formed the first movement

Principalpoop: Olives live a long time
Merlyn: That should be coming soon, cat
Dexter Fong: Merlyn, I'll ask him
Principalpoop: it was right on time for my pc, good job catherwood
||||||||| Catherwood says "It's 10:01 PM"
Dexter Fong: atherwood, why do you announce the time one minute late?
llanwydd: you would think the olives would die off from all the peacenicks ripping branches off them
Dexter Fong: Catherwood, why do you announce the time one minute late?
||||||||| Catherwood says "It's 10:01 PM, precisely!"
cease: ossman was talking about Profiles in BBQ Sauce on this week's rfo and i asked bergman on facebook if it would be available for download

Dexter Fong: llan: What the fuck is that, some kinda anti-hippy 60s joke?
llanwydd: its called a non-sequitur, dex
Principalpoop: people for peace and lazy people must die
Merlyn: video games end when you have 0lives

H Stones: its now happening in Tennessee and Tampa Bay

Dexter Fong: It's required conduct llan
H Stones: sanity has increased, cease but not yet amongst the government

H Stones: one finger or two, llan
Dexter Fong: LLan: They've learned how to deal with that and incorporate it into the performance
llanwydd: two hands
Principalpoop: jesus was a capricorn, he ate organic foods
cease: indeed
Dexter Fong: Styonew: YOur choice, one or two

Dexter Fong: Yes
Dexter Fong: he Rocks and debris that was in everyone's food
cease: did the roman empire have its own Monsanto?
Principalpoop: that reached a new art form with the rocky horror picture show...
H Stones: really, i didnt know that they had invented Walmart at that time
llanwydd: one guy shouted "What is reality" and Austin said "Does anybody know the answer to that question, by the way?"
cease: sounds like another act from the Decling Fall
llanwydd: one guy yelled "Eat it raw"! and Proctor smiled and gave the appropriate rejoinder
cease: they are good at playing off the audience, or other occurences
cease: i saw them at an outdoor event in seattle, bunny must have been there too
Principalpoop: and I'm wasted and cannot find my way home
llanwydd: somebody else yelled "More sugar" and Ossman said "There'll be more sugar" in a tone that seemed to say, "you might not like what we have planned"
llanwydd: it seemed that way to me anyway
Dexter Fong: Ben is not always Bland
cease: he show was interrupted by noise from fog horns and train noise so ossman ad libbed, welcome to the transportation museum

Dexter Fong: Was that the famous Amtrak Show?

llanwydd: Joey Demographico visited Ben Bland in the studio
Dexter Fong: Bunny's on a bus...or is it a..train!
Principalpoop: a sardine can, oscar with oil

Dexter Fong: Joey Demographico's father invented the four-alarm falafel

cease: maybe bun is in the transportation museum now
llanwydd: on his way out, joey said "Look at all this liquor behind the mr. coffee"
Principalpoop: how could he be in two places at once?

Principalpoop: M must have been here, or was there a previous chat?
Dexter Fong: AT LEAST TWO PREVIOUS
Dexter Fong: oops
