||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and intones "Announcing 'Dexter Fong', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 8:49 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...
Dexter Fong: Hi Elayne
ElaynePhoningIn: Hey mister, I gotta nickel, wait for meeeee…
Dexter Fong: Leaving already?=)
ElaynePhoningIn: Hi Dex Still en route home
Dexter Fong: Figured from the phone reference
Dexter Fong: Guess that means you'll be rather slow on replying
ElaynePhoningIn: Any luck w that phone # yet?
Dexter Fong: Regretfully no, which brings up the question of us meeting for lunch - maybe next week- and me returning your money
ElaynePhoningIn: how about 2 weeks from tomorrow? what's that, the 12th or something?
Dexter Fong: Sounds okay for me
ElaynePhoningIn: 11th?

Dexter Fong: Kinda thought your late night working would be over after the 17th
Dexter Fong: See you later
Dexter Fong places a *reserved* sign on his front row seat and heads to the bar for a drink
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, April 26, 2012 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"

||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and announces "Announcing 'TweenOfArc', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:00 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the Aviary...
TweenOfArc: Hello, Dear Friends
cease: hi tween

||||||||| Catherwood sneaks into the room, and pipes up "Announcing 'wake', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 9:27 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the anteroom...
Merlyn: my dishonorable mention was:
Principalpoop: all of a sudden I want a glass of orange juice
Dexter Fong: Hey wake

Dexter Fong: Obscure references are always a plus
Principalpoop: does he disable his competition?
cease: still on wake island?
Dexter Fong: No Poop, he knocks the pins down and hits the golf ball with his hands
Principalpoop: I think the screaming HAIYAH as he swings or throws the ball would be disconcerting also
||||||||| 9:31 PM: Elayne jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past year and a half!"
Elayne: Evenin' all!
Dexter Fong: And his ecentric dress has had him barred from playing Augusta

cease: good to hear that there was such a thing, el
Principalpoop: nice E
cease: the more the better
Elayne: Former Comedy magazine editor (it was a magazine out in the '80s) John Tebbel passed away of a pretty virulent cancer. I've known his wife Martha Thomases for years, and their son Art is starting to look just like John. It was a very strange memorial.
cease: he didnt get arond to writing his autobiography so others will have to do it for him
cease: that's the vibe i got
Elayne: Caught up with a few comic industry friends, but mostly just sat there with Robin and paid respects.
cease: oh, i thought a memorial for bergman.
Elayne: No, but I'm pretty sure John was a fan.
cease: as i mentioned, there'll be either dvd or downloads
Elayne: Really smart guy, wish I'd gotten to know him better.
TweenOfArc: Hey Red Pill
cease: it was from meeting you thru that usenet group in 93 that i got to know them all
TweenOfArc: Came to join the Surrealist Party?
