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 June 21, 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, June 21, 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?"
||||||||| Catherwood leads Twist&Tween in through the front door at 9:06 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
Twist&Tween: It was a dark and stormy night. I set my mucklucks to dry by the cellophane and looked around the room for suspicious characters.
||||||||| Outside, the 9:09 PM downtown bus from British Columbia pulls away, leaving cease coughing in a cloud of diesel fumes.
Twist&Tween: Hey cease
cease: hi tween
Twist&Tween: How's the weather in Van?
cease: pleasent at present
cease: chat seems to be shrinking
Twist&Tween: It does indeed
Twist&Tween: :/
cease: tiny crowd last week
Twist&Tween: Did you get that file from Krassner opened?
cease: it was quite a surprise to see Dave here 2 weeks ago. i showed up rather late
cease: you sent me a forward from kend today. dave was here looking for him
Twist&Tween: Damn, sorry I missed that
cease: no i never did, tween, but i'll ask paul for it.
Twist&Tween: I don't think I been in a chat where Ossman showed up
cease: i saw a movie about "psychadelics" metzger posted to facebook that i want to ask paul about
Twist&Tween: 2 Easy Pieces is what he called it
Twist&Tween: just some good stories
cease: i was expecting paul to be in it.
cease: did you read his 3 books of drug stories?
Twist&Tween: Nope
cease: one about pot, one about acid and the 3rd about mushrooms. i have stories in all 3 volumes
||||||||| "9:30 PM? 9:30 PM!!" says Catherwood, "Principalpoop should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Principalpoop enters and sits on the divan.
cease: the firesigns even mentioned that face on one of their Fools in Space shows
Principalpoop: who dat dere?
cease: hi poop
Twist&Tween: Hey P
Twist&Tween: Just found Krassner's Facebook page
Principalpoop: what is the rod?
cease: fact, not face
Principalpoop: farce, not farct
Twist&Tween: Ah, but it's a page for The Realist, not run by Krassner :/
cease: a rod is a baseball player for the yankees
Principalpoop: hehe
cease: yes i think all the issues of the realist are online
Principalpoop: i have them in my bookmarks, somewhere, i browse them from time to time
Principalpoop: a different world
cease: paul gave me a whole bunch when i visited him. i get less ink on my fingers when i read them online
Principalpoop: it was nice to see dave, and katie too
cease: yes, that was a surprise. good that he has a partner, and not of the canine variety
Principalpoop: there is a real chance there could be good drugs in that ink hehe
cease: true, poop
cease: they take drugs seriously in the krassner household
Twist&Tween: Ah, I thought you meant Ossman showed up
Principalpoop: looks like marijuana is becoming decriminalized, bit by bit
Twist&Tween: biab
Principalpoop: round and round and round and round tween goessss
cease: i think it highly unlikely we'll ever see ossman in chat again
Principalpoop: why not?
cease: probably the same chance as having bergman show up next week
Principalpoop: a little bit higher chance, be honest lol
cease: the only fireguy who was ever even vaguely interested was austin. we may see him here again, if he has nohting to do on a thursday evening
cease: re-decrim. i hope to see it in my lifetime
cease: i hope i dont have to live as long as dex has to see it
Principalpoop: i saw a map somewhere, of all the states that already allow medical grass
Principalpoop: i did not realize it was so many
Principalpoop: lakers still playing?
cease: knocked off by ok several rounds ago
cease: now its ok vs miami. will be last game if miami wins
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood pipes up: "9:44 PM and late as usual, it's Merlyn, just back from Minneapolis."
cease: hi merl
Merlyn: hey hopheads
Merlyn: shouldn't that mean beer drinkers since it's made from hops?
cease: it should, but it doesnt
Principalpoop: mares eat oat and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
Merlyn: and has a head?
Principalpoop: we take those drugs and get all hopped up in the heads
Merlyn: "Smokin' Tokin' Robots" by Marx

Principalpoop: i would suck a dogs dick if you told me it was a hairy hash pipe, oops wait a minute
Principalpoop: rye mold, gud stuff jah jah

Principalpoop: riding on the merikesh express?
cease: i could feel csn serenading my tastebuds
Principalpoop: a taste of something fine
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Dexter Fong close behind, mumbles something about disrupting his 9:54 PM tree-stunting plans, and dashes off to the anteroom.
cease: and speaking of serious booze, here's Dex
Principalpoop: coriander is ok, i don't think i have a bottle though
Principalpoop: hi fong

Dexter Fong: I assume its 43 for miami?
