||||||||| 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 January 05, 2012 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, January 05, 2012 - 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?"
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 9:00 PM and TweenGuy_MotorDetective steps out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 9:01 PM, dragging cease by the hair and asks "Can anyone vouch for this idiot?"
cease: which motor we be a-taking?
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Speedy train
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: brb - having computer issues
||||||||| Outside, the 9:05 PM downtown bus from Funfun Town pulls away, leaving Dexter Fong coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
||||||||| "9:05 PM? I'm late!" exclaims TweenGuy_MotorDetective, who then runs out through the french doors and down through the flowerbeds.
Dexter Fong: cough cough
Dexter Fong: Hey Cat
cease: hi dex, motor tween
cease: what's up?
||||||||| "9:09 PM? 9:09 PM!!" says Catherwood, "llanwydd should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as llanwydd enters and sits on the couch.
llanwydd: hi
cease: hi llan
Dexter Fong: Hey llan
llanwydd: I climbed the steps of a lighthouse yesterday and I could hardly walk today
cease: just read depressing book Tomatoland about the people who pick tomatoes in Florida
cease: one quote, every tomato you eat is picked by slaves
llanwydd: I don't think I've ever picked a tomato in florida
cease: dont you live there?
llanwydd: yes
Dexter Fong: What a tomato!!
llanwydd: but tomato picking isn't my line of work
llanwydd: I've picked plenty of them in ticonderoga
cease: in the course of the book, law suits are won to help the lives of the migrant workers, but it still sounds like a severe life
llanwydd: including a lot of green ones
Dexter Fong: On spec?
cease: at the same time, read greg palast's latest book, Vulture's Picnic
cease: about the kind of people who create slavery. one of america's greatest reporters, who now works for bbc
llanwydd: but all the tomatoes I've picked have been from my own garden
cease: http://www.truthdig.com/avbooth/item/chris_hedges_lays_it_all_out_20120101/
llanwydd: apple picking in vermont is hard work. I've done that for money
cease: just finished watching this 3 hour chris hedges interview
cease: speaking of great reporters
cease: you might know his work from the ny times, dex
cease: wrote a great article for a recent adbusters
cease: i really want tween to see that interview. bergman too
Dexter Fong: I know of him Cat. Don't usually read the times. Too much stuff.
cease: http://www.gregpalast.com/
Dexter Fong: Although I am partial to the Thursday Science section
cease: i read his first book about war from 10 years ago. must read others
cease: ive read all the columns he wrote for www.truthdig.org which is his new book
cease: news: canada in a "mild recession" and our economic health is much better, social safety net vastly superior to yours
cease: that's hedges, not palast. i have palast's previous book Armed Madhouse which is also highly reccomended
||||||||| TweenGuy_MotorDetective sashays in at 9:20 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Hello all

llanwydd: depends what you call anything
Dexter Fong: It concerns, the Kennedy family, J.Edgar, Howard Hughes, the mob -primarily Chicago, and Castro
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: LL pointed out that a FST quote I was using as a mail signature wasn't correct, or was out of context.
||||||||| Catherwood stomps in at 9:26 PM, dragging Principalpoop by the hair and asks "Can anyone vouch for this bozo?"
cease: sounds good. on paper
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Hey P
cease: hi poop
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Sounds very interesting, Dex
Principalpoop: hey all, happy ahh 2012
Dexter Fong: All in all, a bleak, cynical, somewhat nasty read but I've got the second and third volumes
llanwydd: do you really not understand "the old trick puzzle" tween and would you like me to explain?
cease: i almost got new steven king novel about kennedy assasination and new murakami opus from library today but went with michael moore's autobi instead
cease: is it 2012 already?
cease: how time flys
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Can you post the quote I used, LL? I don't have it on this computer
Principalpoop: and sword fish
cease: i try and avoid bleak, dex.
Dexter Fong: Hey Poop
Principalpoop: no bleak, just give me gloomy
llanwydd: okay, tween. here is how you wrote it. "Why does the Porridge Bird lay it's egg in the air?"
cease: refuse to read bleak house. now happy house i might enjoy
Dexter Fong: Cat: Sure, I understand.....tomato slaves?
cease: it's "his" egg. llan. that's important
Dexter Fong: A cat house is a happy house
llanwydd: and I gave you a hint: If a rooster laid an egg on top of a henhouse, which way would it fall off?
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: I guess I don't 'get' the old trick puzzle
cease: happier ending, dex.
Dexter Fong: llan: Down?
cease: and i do read books written to bring consciousness to changeable situations, however distant
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: a rooster??
llanwydd: no, dex.
cease: for the madam, sure
llanwydd: let me know if you give up, tween
Principalpoop: ok swami and all your talk of consciousness
Dexter Fong: I thought the answer was "Beause we've cut down all the trees"
Principalpoop: Where have all the flowers gone?
cease: dex, yes that was proc' answer in an early planet, or somewhere i read it
Dexter Fong: There in the Hot House
cease: i have either read that or heard him saying it in a radio interview
llanwydd: all right then compare your version of the quote with the original...
Dexter Fong: where poppy's grow
Dexter Fong: row on row
cease: an early eco statement by firesing
llanwydd: The original "old trick puzzle": Why does the porridge bird lay his egg in the air?
llanwydd: do you see where you misquoted it, tween?
Principalpoop: moving right along, how about that santorum?
Dexter Fong: Which sanitorium?
llanwydd: I won't drag this on too much longer but I just want to give tween a chance to guess
Principalpoop: the froth running for president
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Give me a minute, LL
Principalpoop: does it get cold in schroon lake llan?
Dexter Fong: lol

Dexter Fong: Oh, Forgot..Tiedyeoga
Principalpoop: there was the pbs program halfnyoga
llanwydd: catherwood, you got a sister or two you could introduce to us?

Principalpoop: what do need an E for?
Dexter Fong: A tomato is a fruit....are you saying
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Elayne close behind, grumbles something about disrupting his 9:41 PM tree-stunting plans, and hurries off to the anteroom.
Elayne: Evenin' all! Sorry I'm a bit late.
llanwydd: I say tometo and you say tameitow
Principalpoop: speaking of E, this E anyway

Elayne: It was buffet style, the chicken tikka and the eggs were my favorites.

Dexter Fong: We launched it and latched onto it

Elayne: We did, Cat. My cold is finally better, and I really needed the time away from the office.
Dexter Fong: Denny's?

Dexter Fong: Don't worry Elayne, I wasn't really listening =))
llanwydd: I'm moving back to ticonderoga in a few weeks
cease: isn't it a bit chilly there, llan?
Elayne: As long as there's no more talk of defenestration, Dex!
Dexter Fong: Stay away from Schroom Lake
llanwydd: not for long, cat
Principalpoop: his hearing aid battery died minutes after you sat down hehe
cease: but at least you won't get a chillly reception
llanwydd: I'll be halfway through the winter there.
Dexter Fong: The Aztecs invented the chile reception
Principalpoop: carry me back to ticonderoga....
cease: we've had a surprisingly mild winter thus far
cease: mostly just rain
Principalpoop: over 60 again today, weird
Dexter Fong: Planning to have the Olympics again, Cat?

TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Will be in the mid-70's here tomorrow. I'll take it :)
Principalpoop: E must be an expert about Es, how many in potato and tomato?

cease: about a thousand miles east of here
Dexter Fong: non

Elayne: Neither takes an "E" in the singular, PrinPoop. One takes an "e" in the plural, one doesn't.
Principalpoop: row dayyyy oh
Principalpoop: wow, cool

Dexter Fong: prolly

TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Really cease? What's the atraction for Texans?
Elayne: Here you go, Poop, drive yourself nuts: http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2011/12/23/english-pronunciation/
Dexter Fong: E Gad Sir, E nuff
Elayne: That was my Silly Site a couple days ago. I posted it for my Mom. Robin made me read the poem out loud to him.
cease: it's black. and it isn't named obama
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: I would think maybe they'd want to ger away from the Summer heat here, maybe
Dexter Fong: But the wait for the winter cause the rates are lower
cease: i noticed rao is in east harlem. hope to have their lemon chicken when i go there in feb
llanwydd: let me know if you want me to answer the riddle for you , tween
cease: this time next week, should know when i'm going
Dexter Fong: Rao in VFegas?
cease: i know harlem only from passing through it on the way to e's, or in 64 during the riot, on a bus
Principalpoop: english is cru EL
cease: at caesar's palace, yes, dex. i thought you knew that
Dexter Fong: Cat, are you coming to nyc or going to Vegas

TweenGuy_MotorDetective: I'm all (well, partially) ears, LL
llanwydd: have served thanksgiving dinners in harlem
Principalpoop: what percentage did you get E?
cease: vegas of course
cease: good for you, llan
Dexter Fong: I kinda did, but you thru me off with the E. Harlem Fandango
Elayne: I only stumbled on a couple of words, Prinpoop. And I had to ask Robin how to pronounce a couple that I'd never heard anyone say, only knew them as words I'd read in books.
llanwydd: okay, tween. I'll quote it two ways, the original way and the way you quoted it
Principalpoop: bravo
Elayne: So I guess that's four altogether that I didn't quite get.
llanwydd: the original was "Why does the porridge bird lay his egg in the air?"
cease: amzing news story about telepathic dogs
cease: abc news, on my local station
llanwydd: do you see a difference between that and your quote, tween?
Principalpoop: they can make bones fly?
cease: lazy leg in the ayre?
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: and what did I say, LL?
llanwydd: well, yours was "Why does the Porridge Bird lay it's egg in the air?"
Dexter Fong: llan: YOu got money on that thing, that prop bet with tweeny?
llanwydd: one word difference
llanwydd: fraid not, dex
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Ah, gender
cease: ok, as the only slightly japanese person here, let me call attention to the obvious koan
llanwydd: THERE YOU GO!
Principalpoop: haitu
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: I shall repair the quote LL, thanks :)
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Are those koans flavored, cease?
cease: those of you not from buddhist cultures, a koan is a question that does not have an "answer". it is supposed to open a door in your brain
Dexter Fong: I want a waffle koan
llanwydd: that's why its an "old trick puzzle", "the old leprechaun SCAM", etc.
Principalpoop: Richard Koan, star of the new Kung Fou
Dexter Fong: I did not know leprechauns layed eggs
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: So, a koan is sort of an oriental shotgun then...
cease: maybe the only good thing roy cohn ever did was inspire the character in Angels in America
Dexter Fong: lol tweeny
cease: they lay whatever they can
Principalpoop: George M. Koan
llanwydd: oh, he was in goodnight and goodluck, too
Dexter Fong: You can do that when you got a pot o gold
cease: just like a new orleans house, tween
llanwydd: I watched that just last night
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Great movie, Good Night And Good Luck
llanwydd: cohnhead
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Just saw it again recently
Dexter Fong: and Cat gets architectural
llanwydd: what do you think the new best picture is gonna be?
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: He's into Firemasonry Dex, or so I hear
llanwydd: not that it m
cease: one of the blue jays pitchers who helped us one of the series
Dexter Fong: llan: Koanhead = one who constantly and persistantly asks himself pointless questions
llanwydd: not that it matters but I have a compulsion to see every best picture
Principalpoop: might be right about the end of the world http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/01/ted_haggard_swaps_wives_with_gary_busey_on_celebri.php?ref=fpblg

llanwydd: the only best picture I have never seen is Cavalcade
cease: and speaking of coneheads, that sctv thing was happening when my daughter was born
cease: i took the bus from our apartment to the hospital, this was oct 25, and there were people wearing cones on their heads off to parties
Dexter Fong: Coneheads wee Saturday Night Live, I believe then went to movie
cease: looked like coneheads, had a hard time getting on the bus
Principalpoop: i was going to point that out too, but it is beside the point hehe
Dexter Fong: Could be a tribe of indigienous people into severe head binds, i.e. The Flatops
cease: new orleans shotgun houses? is that architectural?
Principalpoop: called the dunces
Dexter Fong: Cat: Yes, it describes a one-story house, rather narrow and long indigenous to NO
cease: the world could "end" with an unexpected huge meteor any time. it doesnt need prophecy
Principalpoop: called single-wide mobile home everywhere else
Dexter Fong: I saw that one coming
Dexter Fong: Poop, They are on foundation and made of wood
llanwydd: I remember when frank zappa sat with Beldar Conehead and talked about his "sound patterin's"
Principalpoop: ahh real houses, ok
cease: that's why i said it, dex
cease: i travel vast distances just to look appreciatively at architecture
cease: where is that from, llan? snl?
Principalpoop: haggard and busey swap wives and no comments here, tough audience...
Elayne: Whoop, after 10 and I'm goodly stretched. I'd best go. Next week, all!
||||||||| Elayne leaves to catch the 10:07 PM train to Funfun Town.
cease: who are they, poop?

Principalpoop: night E, thanks again
llanwydd: yes, cat. that was on snl
llanwydd: and then he sang "I'm the Slime"
Principalpoop: disgraced evangalist and wacky actor
cease: must be on youtube then
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and snorts derisively "Presenting 'Bunnyboy', just granted probation at 10:08 PM", then leaves hurriedly.
llanwydd: he broke up laughing from looking at Beldar
Principalpoop: hip hop bunny
Bunnyboy: Yodel.
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Hey Bunny
cease: and speaking of youtube, here's bunny
Principalpoop: Little ole lady whooooo?
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Bunny, was it you who was talking about taking sound engineering classes a few years back?
cease: how are things in seattle, bun?
Bunnyboy: Tween: Certificate in Audio Production, University of Washington Extension, 2007.
Principalpoop: http://snltranscripts.jt.org/78/78cconeheads.phtml
Bunnyboy hums "Pomp and Circumstance".
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Cool, Bunny
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: So do you work in a recording studio or something?
Bunnyboy: cat: Seattle's swell.
cease: wow. i think i remember that
Bunnyboy: Naw, I pick at it.
cease: did that course land you a job, bun?
Bunnyboy: My main course goal was always to make "better" recordings.
Principalpoop: What do you think about American girls Mister Bunnyboy?
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: A laudable goal :)
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: lol P
cease: i hope the swelling stops soon.
Principalpoop: Throw a towel over it
Bunnyboy: They're true and blue, like my balls, Poop.
Principalpoop: huh? ahh the girls, ok hehe
Bunnyboy: My Superballs - tm , that is.
cease: where's bunnete when you kneed her?
Principalpoop: hit me over the head with that champagne bottle and turn the switch
llanwydd: well, it might be time for me to head out
Dexter Fong: Catherwood, please lay a heavy beating on The Poop
||||||||| Catherwood steps over to Dexter Fong and mumbles "Do you have something for me to do?"
Principalpoop: rawhide!
llanwydd: glad to enlighten tweeny about the porridge bird
Dexter Fong: How much did you win llan??
llanwydd: may it bring you ever nearer the truth and put you out of your mystery
Dexter Fong: Or double your koan back
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: FST must always be quoted accurately ;)
Principalpoop: ticondaroga, here I come, right back where I started from, open up your ahh something something
Dexter Fong: pencil case
llanwydd: good night and good luk
||||||||| "Hey llanwydd!" ... llanwydd turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 10:24 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
Principalpoop: neither a koaner nor a borrower be
cease: by llan
Bunnyboy: Nite llan!

Dexter Fong: That is only a recording. Press one to hear louder panting
Principalpoop: 1 1 1 1 1 1
cease: they got the koan, but they didn't get the japanese influence on the us
cease: i dont know if any of them, maybe bergman, has spent any time in japan
Principalpoop: yamoto was not enough?
Dexter Fong: I can sense your electronic reply, don't shout me
cease: koan is an intellectual conscttruct, which is why they appeal to us
Principalpoop: the brain in main stalls mainly on the plain
cease: elayne took me to meet ossman in 96. i asked him why the firesign got japan so wrong in their 70s albums
Dexter Fong: How so Cat?
cease: the ignorance they decry in others is the same ignorance they have of for example, japan
Principalpoop: what years was Japan buying up all that LA real estate and companies, gave us a good scare
cease: ossman told me they were afraind of vast japanese influence on us culutrue
cease: but i lived in a japn besotted with america
Dexter Fong: Yesterday, he was your gardener, today, he owns your house
cease: that was the ossman that i met then. of course that was in 95
Principalpoop: like john cleese in fawlty towers about the german tourists in england
Principalpoop: a little hard to forgive some things
Dexter Fong: 95...Year of the silkworm, everybody take off clothes
Principalpoop: i understood perfectly why that black guy made a photo with a black guy with a bull whip up his bottom
Dexter Fong: Poop: I kinda think we evened the score and then some
Principalpoop: what is his problem? he has a lol
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and pipes up "Announcing 'doctecazoid', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 10:32 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
Dexter Fong: Hi Dec
Principalpoop: sure, but for some they are still a little techy
Dexter Fong: Doc
Dexter Fong: Duh

Bunnyboy: Hiya doc!
Principalpoop: the doc is in

TweenGuy_MotorDetective: and Happy New Year to everyone
Dexter Fong: And back at you Doc, from my Horn and Hardart

TweenGuy_MotorDetective: That's fantastic, cease
doctecazoid: so we are nothing - ain' t that something?
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: From wha little I've gleened from chat, I'd say you've had it pretty rough

TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Life experince can be useful cease, yes
Principalpoop: a kiss is just a kiss, a smile is just a smile

Principalpoop: where is here?
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: Great attitude, Bun
doctecazoid: planned obsolescence is built into the system
cease: oh, how can you be, in 2 places at once, if you never heard the firesign theatre at all?
Bunnyboy advances, menacingly, with a mallet and chisel.

Principalpoop: i am he as you are me and we are all together

Principalpoop: could be schroon lake all over again
Bunnyboy: As is Aaron Sorkin.
doctecazoid: to think it was not so long ago that a tower pc was a tower of power
Dexter Fong: Hey Poop; forget about it...it's just Schroon lake
Principalpoop: hehhehe
Bunnyboy: I must, respectfully, disagree with cat's disagreement.
Principalpoop: reasonable people can disagree, anyone who disagrees is crazy
TweenGuy_MotorDetective: claustrophic garbage, wasn't that a punk band?
doctecazoid: it's more the dialog and characters i am drawn to - that and the soundtrack
||||||||| "Hey doctecazoid!" ... doctecazoid turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 10:52 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
