||||||||| 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 November 10, 2011 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| TweenedAtBirth steals in around 8:33 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last month's "unpleasant incident."
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, November 10, 2011 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 9:02 PM, dragging Dexter Fong by one leg and asks "Can anyone vouch for this idiot?"
Dexter Fong: Hi Tweeny
Dexter Fong: Ahh, didn't notice the "out for lunch" parenthesis
Dexter Fong: Off to play a quick game of solitare

Principalpoop: Perry says he is proud he is not a master debater hehe

Dexter Fong: Who's Kalle...one of the Kardashians?

Principalpoop: i am lucky it was not around when I was young, I suppose
cease: at least if breaking bad is to be believed

Dexter Fong: Cat: That's prolly why their airwaves were always jammed
Principalpoop: it is the same stuff? I thought it was different, harder
Dexter Fong: Poop: Meth?

Principalpoop: crystal meth
cease: i remember frank zappa and firesign mocking anti-th ads in the late 60s
Principalpoop: i had that once, like tripping, without the hallucinations, no fun there lol

Dexter Fong: Yes, i've tried them all, but drugs don't do anything for me
cease: yes one of the first firesign plays used it as ajoke ref, A life in the Day
