||||||||| Dexter Fong scurries out the back door as Mayor P'nisnose blasts through the front door holding a shotgun and shouting "Where's Dexter Fong?! It's 9:41 PM and my ballot boxes haven't been stuffed yet!"
live cat soap: good point about chicago, el.
live cat soap: paul krassner told me about that
Elayne: In most cities where the jack-booted thugs have moved in on the Occupy camps, the mayors have been Democrats.
live cat soap: is that a p/nis or is that a nose
Elayne: But most of them are RICH Democrats. That's the difference. It's not Republican/Democrat, the split is between the haves and have-nots.
live cat soap: like kennedy during the cuban missile crisis. had to prove themselves trough
Elayne: Most of the members of Congress are millionaires. About half of them are probably in the 5% if not the 1%.
H Stones: i see that the mayor said they would not tolerate violence, i suppose this does not apply to the pigs
live cat soap: was it someone on colbert or stewart last night who said kennedy kept us from bieng killed in cuba?
live cat soap: uh uh
Elayne: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2062497/Nearly-half-Congress-members-millionaires--status-shared-1-cent-Americans.html
Elayne: Says there that half are in the 1% (i.e., millionaires).
live cat soap: dex has no memory of such events, but i recall clearly how close we were to universal death as kennedy dithered at last minute
live cat soap: only the brqve choice of a soviet submariner kept us all from being dead now
Elayne: And yeah, that includes a Rockefeller and one of Liz Taylor's ex-husbands.
||||||||| Catherwood escorts Principalpoop inside, makes a note of the time (9:45 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.

Dexter Fong: Hi poop and everyone again

live cat soap: that's becaiuse you see it as not an option, dex
Dexter Fong: Cat: Huh?
llanwydd: yes, I remember the color was striking
live cat soap: if what happened to me had happened to you and your family, film noir would not attradt you
llanwydd: how so, cat?
live cat soap: colour was bad in hollywood flick until the 60s in my opinion

live cat soap: he said it sucked then (50s) and it was his job to corect it
Dexter Fong: So was Shiner town, the story of a bait fish
llanwydd: no, dex. chinatown was 1974
live cat soap: i see your "pont" llan, lots of great 50s flicks
Dexter Fong: Not the same as Shriner town, the story of a whoopie cushion
llanwydd: even before color was as good as it got later, some films made fantastic use of color
Dexter Fong: llan: It seems like only yesterday
live cat soap: but i loved amidst well paid technicians and actors and studio execs in la then
Dexter Fong: Who can forget Sepia Tone where everyone was mulatto
live cat soap: 50s colour realy sucked. i agree with my neighrous, who was n charge of it
Dexter Fong: *and* wore hats
Dexter Fong: *and* Smoked! in doors

llanwydd: would you please explain, cat. I don't remember the plot too well, only the scenery
live cat soap: no
Dexter Fong: Attention Earthlings. We have watched you flicks and find them dangerous to the Univeral Mind
llanwydd: well, if I'm going to have a nuclear weapon dropped on my, I need to know the charges against me
Dexter Fong: Universal

Merlyn: ok, looks like it's the breakup, see you next week
||||||||| "Hey Merlyn!" ... Merlyn turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 11:14 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
GypsyTween: ...

||||||||| Dexter Fong - dead from the common cold
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
GypsyTween: Until last time, again...
||||||||| GypsyTween rushes off, saying "11:33 PM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?"
