||||||||| 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 July 26, 2012 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 8:55 PM, dragging Pitts Rheumy by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this yahoo?"
Pitts Rheumy: It says, Nobody is chatting, I shoulda known . . . .
||||||||| Pitts Rheumy rushes off, saying "8:57 PM? Mark Time is almost on! Where's a radio?"
||||||||| 8:59 PM: H STONES jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past half hour!"
||||||||| Catherwood tiptoes into the room, and intones "Announcing 'cs', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 8:59 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the vestibule...
cs: hi pitts, and STONES
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, July 26, 2012 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!"
cs: just a shot away, old man
cs: surviving the olympics?
H STONES: I am fairly indifferent about most of the crap involved in staging the Olympia in london, its 250 miles from where i live and in the middle of a big smelly city so i give it a wide birth
cs: i live in a suburb of vancouver so wasn't terribly effected by the olympics here 2 years ago except when i went downtown
cs: the subways were packed, but i look so old that even old people offered me their seats
cs: i did make a vid putting firesign riffs, among others with some of the art instalations the olympics offered, which were pretty good
H STONES: the seats are prohibitively expensive for someone on a penion like myself and i dont think the likes of Coke or MCdonalds need any of what little i have, they are both full of chemicals as well as hype
cs: i gave it to the fireguys, i should post it on youtube,even if it is 2 1/2 years late
cs: i have no interest in olympic sports.
cs: that's sacriligious here, as apparently the canada hockey team won some sort of award, or goal or whateverthe fuck it is
cs: i heard marc maron's interview with john oliver last week on his wtf podcast
H STONES: its turning into a religion here, and increasingly embarassing
cs: oliver is great on the daily show but was WAY too much into sport for marc
cs: oliver is relatively rich and famous, as young comics go, but he said he regretted not being a soccer player, as his dad wanted
H STONES: if you find yourself near a copy of our satirical magazine, Private Eye, the front cover pic says all that needs to be said.
cs: i grew up in la which had just got a major league baseball and basketball team so my youth was spent revelling in their victories and devastated by their losses
cs: does it have a website?
cs: one of the happiest memories i have of my dad was playing catch with him when i was a kid, but i never wanted to play even littleleague, and was never told to
H STONES: there a pic of our cops with assault rifles stood in front of the main stadium and the seargent is saying "Ok just put down that can of Pepsi and no one will get hurt!!
cs: lol
cs: apparently pepsi killed michael jackson.not sure if that's good or bad
H STONES: that poor bastard never had a proper childhood and was badly guided and exploited
cs: no so poor
H STONES: http://www.private-eye.co.uk/
H STONES: thats the latest on the web page but its out of date or been banned or somesuch
cs: i see
H STONES: it takes a person much more than a lot of corporate dollars to make them truly rich
cs: thee was a great greek restaurant/pizza place in vancouver called olympic pizza since the 70s
H STONES: have they fordced it to close yet
cs: but forced to take down its signage when the fucking "olympics" were in town
H STONES: just as we thought
cs: didnt bergman write something for private eye?
cs: founded by that tall english comic, whose name seems to escape me
H STONES: he may well have done so but i never saw it sadly
cs: i rmeember his sketches, not his name
cs: bergman did A LOT of things
H STONES: was it peter cook you are thinking of
cs: yes
cs: hard name to forget
H STONES: an old hero of mine he was, a brilliant and gifted wit
cs: died not long ago, right?
H STONES: for very many years Spike Milligan was an avid conttributor
||||||||| Merlyn enters at 9:21 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and dashes off to the Chapeau Manger.
H STONES: |Hi Merlyn
Merlyn: heyo

Merlyn: here it is: http://ia600200.us.archive.org/8/items/Firesign_Theatre_Podcasting_001/spike.rm

cs: yes that's the story
cs: that should go along with proc's story about bergman's ex wife in search of his body
H STONES: THE HIGH POINT WAS SPIKE LEADING BERGMAN INTO THE FUNERAL PARLOUR, CLIMBING ONTO THE COUNTER, AND PLAYING DEAD WHILS RINGING THE RECEPTION BELL AND SHOUTING "SHOP
Merlyn: yeah, look around for peter up on the counter with his arms folded
cs: nice to see your pm putting down romney
cs: one good thing has come out of the olympics
cs: anything that costs romney votes is good
Merlyn: hey cat, I know a 17-year-old paranoid schizophrenic with obsessive-compulsive disorder who lives in Vancouver

Merlyn: nah, he's ok
Merlyn: as long as he's taking his meds
cs: thats what they all say
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Principalpoop into the room, accepts a wooden nickel as a gratuity, mumbles something about 9:32 PM, then departs.

Merlyn: I have CDO, it's like OCD but the letters are in alphabetical order LIKE THEY SHOULD BE

Principalpoop: having ocd means never being bored...

H Stones: same over here tween
Tween-O-Phonic: Ready for the Olympics?
H Stones: dont buy any warm Coke, the aspartame becomes toxic at sustained high temps

||||||||| H STONES - dead from the fiddlers
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
cs: if i can help it, i will never go anywhere hotter than vancouver in the summer
cs: Fumiyo is quite robust and she takes the heat even less than i.
H Stones: it appears i am talking to you from beyond the grave
Tween-O-Phonic: You would not like south Texas
Principalpoop: who's grave?
H Stones: its been 31 for the last three days
Tween-O-Phonic: 31 is 87.8F
Principalpoop: anything 30+ is too warm
H Stones: i fullly agree, especially Coke
Tween-O-Phonic: Was around 100 with the humidity heat index today
Principalpoop: why the link about betelgeuce? so we learn that bet is the arab word for armpit?
Tween-O-Phonic: Will be around 100 or above real temp in the forthcoming week

cs: bergman says, this is a desert. what are 15 milliion peopledoing here?
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
H Stones: baking is the answer
Tween-O-Phonic: No palm trees in Van, I take it
cs: that was 42 years ago; 18 million now, that they know of
H Stones: all palms are specially greased here nowadays
cs: i cant believe la grew that slowly, and tokyo that fast.
Tween-O-Phonic: without counting the Mexicans?
Principalpoop: not a lot of humidity in la, usually
Merlyn: I'm pretty greased now
Merlyn: sweat at night, hair gets greasy
cs: when i left tokyo in 88 it had 23 million. most recent figure i heard is 36 million.
Tween-O-Phonic: yipes cease
cs: maybe everyone in the north moved to tokyo to escape the radiation
Merlyn: how much sex did you have before leaving!?
H Stones: the radiation frfom fukushima should help to reduce that figure
Tween-O-Phonic: must be packed in like sardines
Principalpoop: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/five-jealous-wives-rape-nigerian-man-to-death/979270/
cs: Fumiyo's friends and family want her to visit but she is resisting
H Stones: Tween, the smallest houses in the world i think are here in the UK
Merlyn: what's it cost to fly Vancouver to Tokyo?
cs: poop, that sound like the way bergman wanted to die
H Stones: maybe your life, Merlyn
Principalpoop: if you gotta go, might as well go that way
cs: under a grand, but not much. the last time she went, 2 years ago, we had enough air miles points for her to fly free
Principalpoop: radiation is not that bad, trust the electric company...
Tween-O-Phonic: according to ann coulter, good for you
cs: stones, smaller than japanese houses?
Merlyn: not bad; my wife wants us to go to Italy next year for our anniversary

Elayne: Indeedy, Tween.
Elayne: Also, I can't stay, because I can't stay awake. Darn rain anyway...
Principalpoop: blow out the candles on the cake and make a wish...
cs: welcome for the brief time you're here
Elayne: *yawn* there goes another one... sorry folks...

H Stones: no answer from honeybunch mansions so she must be out on the raz i guess
Principalpoop: good for her

Principalpoop: i changed my cable lineup and now have to watch some shows on the tc instead of pc
Principalpoop: the commericals are too much, just too much...

||||||||| "12:17 AM? 12:17 AM!!" says Catherwood, "Woody 1 should be here by now...oh, THERE you are!" as Woody 1 enters and sits on the couch.

||||||||| Woody 1 - dead from the yaws
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood enters, and announces to all and sundry "It's 4:32 AM, time to change the log file and clean out unused rooms; please exit the chat room for a minute or two. Thank you for your patience."
